Down In Carlisle He Loved A Lady Many Beers Ago

What’s going on here, David Lemieuxnriver?

“This is Dogfish brewery, where they make American Beauty beer. They were nice enough to give me a tour around the place.”

It looks a bit empty.

“There was a major robbery last night.”

Wow. Bad timing.

“I keep telling Sam that we can put off the tour, but he insists on showing me where things used to be. Sam’s the owner. Nice guy.”

I’m sure.

“And he keeps discovering new things that were stolen, and I think he’s gonna snap.”

Dave–

“David.”

–get out of there! 68% of all murders in the United States last year were committed by aggrieved brewers.

“I don’t think that’s right.”

It’s not.

“I’ll be okay.”

Is that pot of mash all that’s left?

“Apparently. It could have grown up so strong and full of bocks. But instead it gets dumped in a gutter in Delaware.”

There’s a metaphor in there somewhere.

“Delaware is made out of metaphors.”
