Demanding with Menaces

It’s late and today got away from us. But, devoted as we are, we still sit and catch-up on today’s beer news as we hunker down and wait for our little winter storm.

At first, we thought the issue of Pennsylvania grocery stores selling six-packs was pretty interesting. Having attended college in the state named for William Penn, we know how it feels to have to buy by the case for the beers you love. (It feels awfully expensive, by the way.)

Then, we read this. Apparently, in Whakatane, New Zealand, you can rob a bank to get a beer—and finish that beer before the police arrest you. Then later, you can get a reasonably good deal and have an aggravated robbery charge reduced to “demanding with menaces.”
