I'm hearing a lot about Inauguration Day beer events: Ommegang has a special Obamagang beer out (which the TTTB, those killjoys, did not allow as a name: "officially" it's Inauguration Ale, but now you know the secret name), bars in DC will be open till 5 AM, everyone's celebrating.
The Grey Lodge is celebrating too, as only they do: based on Scoats's weird obsession with the calendar. On Inauguration Day, January 20th (also known as 1/20), they'll be tapping a deadly weapon: a sixtel of Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA.
This is the kind of beer that makes you start quoting Dirty Harry: "I know what you're thinking, punk. Did you drink six shots of 120 Minute, or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this is 120 Minute, the most powerful IIPA in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"
Kind of makes me want to go out and vote for the man all over again. After a couple 120s, who knows, I might try to.
And if my editors are reading this...I really am getting work done this morning. Honest.

That's good that the DC bars are staying open so late. We were thinking that we would have to hop a train to Baltimore's Fells Point to get some decent beer without waiting 10 hours for one beer. I guess with Obama getting inaugurated, some 120 Min IPA may be in order.
Some say weird, I say "healthfully respectful".
