My Wish For Today...

...is that the "new Depression" produces something as weird as this musical gem from 1939.

$7 Recession Beer

Let me say up front that Pacific Standard on 4th Ave in Brooklyn is a great bar. However, isn't it a bit insulting to sell 12 oz. of a beer called "Recessionator" for $7?

It's probably pretty good, but I don't think I've ever seen "alcohol" listed as one of the flavor components in a beer description.

Update 3/13: I broke down and tried one (at the $6 Happy Hour price). Pretty good, and pretty strong.
