Proof that journalists don’t booze it up like they used to
A bar in Shrewsbury lost its liquor license, according to the Telegram & Gazette, “after patrons were unknowingly served cheap beer when they ordered high-end beer.” You have to slog through a dense, boring story before getting to the explanation of the big switch-a-roo: “investigators determined that patrons who ordered Budweiser or Miller Light beer were actually served Keystone Light, a much cheaper beer.”
First of all, it’s Miller Lite. But more importantly: Did this reporter just say Budweiser and Miller Light are high-end beers? Compared to what, Schlitz? Somebody, please, buy her a drink.

For orientation for Grad school- my group (all guys and little me) headed to a dive bar across from the main building- That’s Boston for you. we all ordered “expensive” beers $4-7 a bottle. The bartender made his predictions for our semester- which cheap beers we’d be drinking by finals.
BTW: In Japan, they’re serving Budweiser as a “high-end” beer.
