Guinness beer pour
Named for the Dave Matthew's song "Come Tomorrow"
Old man spat and cursed as he spoke
It's all going to hell and the whole world is broken
Little kid is busy making plans
Save the whole world along with that old man
It's far as I can see
A better way for you and me
Is to let the children run the show
Not too long and we'd be good to go
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
Yeah, as far as I can see
We should let the children lead the way
Bang bang you're dead now could be real
I got a bag of smoke come on let's make a deal
Yeah, bridges burn but tomorrow is another day
To feed the world and then go outside and play
Yeah, farmers farm and dancers dance all night
Lovers love and the firefighters fight
Let the children run the show
Not too long and we'd be good to go
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
Yeah, as far as I can see
We gotta let the children lead the way
Storms will rise out of innocent skies
Times will change as you let the children play the game
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything
So as long as we survive today
Come tomorrow, we're gonna find a way
All the girls and boys would sing
Come tomorrow we get everything

Dogfish Head World Wide Stout
Created during the Covid 19 quarantine. The figure on the right, wearing gloves and a mask and trying to move away from the figure on the left who has no gloves or masks, and is yelling aggressively (with a peace t-shirt.) This illustrates the division (another way we're divided) regarding the quarantine. Some folks are currently storming government offices in Michigan, demanding the government "open" the state. Some of the protesters wore masks (ironically) some did not. Many toted assault rifles, trump flags, etc. How did a virus become political?

Vanish Milk Stout
In the Night Kitchen was one of my favorite books as a child. This is a nod to Maurice Sendak, but there's a political twist. The old woman has a presidential face, and the "batter" is being poured over a cake that looks like Earth. Her slippers stand on the back of a terrified creature whose name is Citizen. And then there's the baker, baking it all into a nasty cake. The bakers were the scariest thing in the book for me as a kid, in a weirdly fascinating way.
