I used to work at birch and Barley / churchkey!!!

Is it ironic that you can brew beer in the White House but not in Alabama?

Thank You

I am considering doing a batch of wine and I was wondering if it mattered if you put white wine into red wine bottles (aka white wine in green bottles)?

1) Guys walks up to the bar I work at Which has Stella Artois, Bells Two Hearted, Sam Adams Summer Ale, and the Founders Porter.. "Why don't you guys have any domestic beers?" me: "Sam Adams, Bells, and Founders are made in the U.S.", Him: "No DOMESTIC like bud light. 2) Customers orders...
