Rheingold's back in Brooklyn!

This will mean shit to anyone who's under 35 and not from the NYC Metro Area. Rheingold Beer is moving back to Ft. Greene in Brooklyn. Now Rheingold was THE major sponsor of NY Mets games when I was growing up. It was my dad's beer of choice and was more popular than Budweiser in the NYC area. They went out of business in the mid-'70s and came back about 5 years ago. It's being made in Utica (Upstate NY) right now, but in a couple weeks they're coming home. In my book, it's horrible beer, but it's like welcoming an old friend back home. Welcome back, Rheingold!

Well, off to the mines.
