Crowd-Filmed: Lucius “Strangers” Kinks Cover #liveatlagunitas

“We are not two, we are one…”

When Lucius played the Lagunitas LaguMiniAmphitheaterette there were so many iPhones out that Lagunitas put out a call for people’s footage. The result feels like you’re in the crowd with the band … without any phones in the way!

Beer In A Can: Billy Beer … Unopened!

Unopened can of Billy Beer

Where can you find an unopened can of vintage Billy Beer? My Mom’s fridge in Chicago. Been in there since ’77. Chillin. ‘Cuz a cold crappy beer is worth more than warm crappy beer, right?

Unopened can of Billy Beer

While the can states Billy Carter was “one of America’s all-time great beer drinkers“, his brother President Jimmy Carter‘s favorite beer was actually PBR (via Wiki).

Did you know you can help buy the Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery via a crowdsourcing project called Buy A Brewery? Check it out. (Thanks, Mike)
