A deer busts its way into Taco Mac
I wish this security footage had sound…
On Sunday, a deer crashed through a plate glass window at Taco Mac Windward, ran around a little bit (probably looking for Monday Night beers on a Sunday), and exited through a door.
In the process of busting the glass, the buck lost on antler. =(
But, antlers grow back. =D
Why would a deer bust into a Taco Mac? According to the AJC:
These days, male deer “have a higher testosterone level, which increases their aggression,” said Don McGowan, senior wildlife biologist in the Social Circle office of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Sound like anyone else you know?

Bryan Adams signs a baby at Walmart
You read that correctly. This was a few years ago, but anyone with a baby should probably start driving to random Walmarts NOW to get in on the action.

No brewing tonight
We’ll be too busy listening to Bryan Adams to brew tonight. If you don’t understand, GET OFF THE SHED.
Little Rock Art Brewery goes up against corporate America
Rock Art Brewery in Vermont got a pretty interesting note from lawyers at Monster Energy Drinks’ parent company, Hansen Beverages.
Your client’s use…of VERMONSTER in connection with beer will undoubtedly create a likelihood of confusion and/or dilute the distinctive quality of Hansen’s MONSTER marks.
Essentially Hansen is threatening Rock Art Brewery with legal action for trademark infringement for their Vermonster Barleywine. Rock Art Brewery has decided to fight, despite their lack of deep pockets. Hear from Rock Art’s owner, Matt Nadeau:
We’ll be following this story with interest. And we’re obviously rooting for David in this David vs. Goliath saga.
