Table Taps Say Amen!
Greetings,
Let me preface this “rant” with the following: I live in Brooklyn, NYC and have spent most of the last thirty five years of my life living north of Staten Island. That said, as my matriarchal side of the family hales from one southern state or another so I have been exposed to that part of the United States. Their ways are familiar to me and I find many a paradox in their society. The most obvious to me is their social stand regarding beverage alcohol. The fact that the county where genuine “bourbon” whisky is distilled is a “dry” county. To me, that about sums up the social attitude regarding beverage alcohol in the southern United States.
And so, it was with great pleasure that I noticed the following in the “News” this morning…
Georgia bar features personal beer tapsThe beer never runs out at one Atlanta sports bar
I nearly set a record for clicking my trusty old mouse on that link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23783068/
And there were more!

It seemed a young fellow figured out that the state of Georgia:
“…a state that still bans residents from picking up a six-pack on Sundays… actually allows diners to pull their own beer at the table.”
“"It turns out the law supports it. It's the same as putting a pitcher of beer at the table, and it actually increases monitoring," says Jeff Libby, the 26-year-old who patented the system.”
For more on a twisted logic that might actually make more sense than first expected I suggest you read the entire piece. I raise a glass to Mr. Libby!
Cheers!
