The Hopsicles Return
I'm happy to (belatedly) report that "Hopsicles" have returned to the Rustico bar just down the road from me in Alexandria, Virginia.
You may remember that earlier this summer the bar ran into trouble
from the state Alcohol Beverage Control for violating an obscure,
anachronistic law stating that alcohol must be stored in its
original container until it's served to customers. ABC didn't
rescind that dumb regulation, mind you. Rather, Rustico worked with
ABC agents to figure out a way around to
comply with it.
I plan to sample the wares this week.

As a libertarian, I find it indeed a hopeful sign that the authority of the Commonwealth will not be preventing him from perpetrating this unpleasant bastardization. As someone who appreciates a good beer, I'm somewhat less sanguine about the fact that simple good taste is apparently equally impotent.
"Stoutsicle"!?! Arthur Guinness must be spinning in Uachtar Árd.

Brian, speaking of bastardizations I personally wished the Commonwealth would have banned Miller Chill instead.
