For WE can exact change!What is that change, you ask? We demand two things - 1) the ability to drink beers on the job and 2) the ability to become outraged when our morning and afternoon snack beer drinking privileges are restricted.
We've been doing a number of news and non-brew review articles lately, but we felt we had to post and discuss what is quite possibly the largest global news story of the last two months:

Just when we think we're the greatest nation in the world, we are forced to gaze to the East to a little beer producing nation named Denmark in order to be rudely awakened. How many jobs in the States can we drink during the work day? "Entrepreneur", artist, un-employed? There is but one professional job named "brewer" which employs roughly .1% of our workforce. Now, how many jobs do you know where you can both drink AND operate heavy machinery? Exactly.
As a nation we've come a long way in our 230 year existence. From democracy to alternating current (thanks Crispin Glover) to legal at home brewing, we've been a nation of invention and progress. Sadly, this article shows us just how much more progress needs to be made.
Imagine a society where we can pound beers from dawn to dusk while being paid for our professional skills. A society where we are left to our own "responsibilities" in order to limit our drinking on the job. A society where drunken markering, sexting, and liquid courage would be just as likely to occur at 10 am as it would at 10 in the evening.
Our demands are simple...our demands are absolute. Unite workers, unite!
