BS: Yaak’s Not-So-Dirty Shame

For decades I’ve been hearing about the Dirty Shame Saloon in Yaak, Montana. Some of the stories I heard sent a shiver up my spine and made it sound like one of those rowdy roadhouses of the Deep South where hippies entered and never were heard from again. It is, so the stories go, the type of establishment non-locals might want to avoid, especially if you’re decked out in Lycra, and if you dare enter, don’t accidentally have eye contact with the wrong person or his girlfriend. Finally, at least two decades late, I had my chance to check it out, and it was almost a disappointment to learn that, nowadays, the most dangerous thing in the Dirty Shame Saloon is Double Haul IPA/ Bill Schneider , New West.
