You might be able to make out that both these bottles and the can below say "Spokane Brewery."

Why should you care? No reason, really.

But me, I get a kick out of this sort of thing. And it's my blog, though the truth is I prefer to say "online thing."

When I was a little kid, back in the steel cans era, my dad used to let me have a sip of his beer whevever I wanted. I suspect he hoped this lager sampling would make drinking seem less exotic in my eyes.

Sadly, I was subsequently thrust into a cold, heartless world where dedicated young scholars such as myself stumbled off to college without benefit of hearing those potentially life-saving "Remember to Drink Responsibly" public-service messages. I have to tell you that, as a freshman, I did not.

But that's another story.  And if you remember the '70s, there's a good chance it's one you have heard before.
