Brews You Can Use

I wrote last year that red wine is a good Lenten drink, but I can't get away from the gin and tonic. I'm going dry for the next eight days, so it doesn't really matter right now, but I need to get back to red wine shortly. Bottles are beginning to pile up.

Why am I going dry? Simply because there's no reason to drink. Marie and the girls are spending the weekend in Detroit with eldest son, Alex (his Christmas gift to them: dinner, shopping, and tickets to *Les Miserables*). On top of that, I need to shed some weight. The inability to work outdoors has gradually put over ten pounds on my frame over the past three months. I try to exercise regularly, but my joints can't put up with "unnatural" stress of long bouts of robotic exercise so I can't burn nearly as many calories as, say, three hours in the fields burns.

Speaking of *Les Miserables*. While playing charades-like game over the holidays, the answer was *Les Miserables*, which was guessed a few times but the actor kept shaking her head. Her team was a bit puzzled, then one guy said, "Less Miserables" (pronouncing it mizz-ra-bulls). She nodded and went to the next word.

While talking about cheap beers with my sons, it dawned on me that I went through a ton of different cheap beer phases while growing up. Among the beers that my friends and I got on a kick with at one point or another: Stroh's, Pabst, Old Milwaukee, Old Milwaukee Light, Blatz (the 40-ouncer), Red Dog, Old Style, and Hamm's. This article made me think of that: [Hamm's Threatening to Become Popular Again](http://brutalhammer.com/hamms-threatening-to-become-popular-again/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com): "It's all sunny skies these days in the Land of Sky Blue Waters. Sales of the once-famous brew are up 45% in the last year, according to Nielsen. It seems that a new generation has taken a shine to Hamm's, turning it into a popular seller for the first time in decades."
