1. Meanwhile, Dump would have bitched about no food for his Orangeness.

[Metro135]

15. Or complain

the the cake wasn't as good as the chocolate cake he had at Mar-a-Lardo

[CurtEastPoint]

19. LOL on Mar a Lardo. I've seen... Turd a Lago?

[blue neen]

2. The Biden's are such good people.

They are sorely needed in this country.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

3. And everyone is wearing his/her mask correctly! Yes!. Jill & Joe Biden are the best.

[Gothmog]

4. I miss having a real POTUS

[doc03]

5. Iron City Beer, is he trying to poison them? I thought they quit making

that crap.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

7. Old German wasn't available. NT

[doc03]

8. Oh my Old German back in 1966 when I lived in Arlington we could buy a

case of Old German for like $3. headache in a can.

[IronLionZion]

10. Iron City is an iconic Pittsburgh PA beer

so at least he got something local from PA instead of Bud, Coors, or Miller



I don't like it but there are plenty of folks in PA that still like to drink it. Trump wouldn't know about that.

14. I'm going to guess it's now an iconic hipster beer, like PBR.

You'll have to imagine my air quotes.

[IronLionZion]

22. Probably. Many hipsters and working class people like the same things.

But hipsters do it ironically.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

25. "Ironically" meaning it's now $9.99 per six-pack.

You probably don't get this in DC, but I've seen it at the Aldi and Harris-Teeter in Alexandria.

There used to be a food distributor in Richmond called Richfood. It supplied groceries to smaller chains. The big chains like Safeway and Giant could take care of themselves, but the smaller chains relied on Richfood.

I'm pretty sure that the brew known as Richbrau is distributed by what is left of Richfood.

It's $9.99 per six-pack.

[IronLionZion]

26. It's common throughout western PA where I grew up

I would never look for it in DC. I mostly drink dark craft beers or imports. If you're into that, check out Craft Beer Cellar on H St. NE.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

31. I used to work close enough to the Giant at Third Street and H Street NE that I would

walk over there sometimes after work. I haven't seen it since April. Is the CBC the place that's directly across H St. from the Giant? I've been in there.

[IronLionZion]

32. Yes, that's it.

They have a great selection of imports and crafts

[ohtransplant]

11. I think they make it in Latrobe now...

in the old Rolling Rock plant.

Good as it ever was...(i guess some people like it. )

[IronLionZion]

12. Correct, they moved in 2009

Since Bud has no interest in brewing Rolling Rock in Latrobe

[mahatmakanejeeves]

13. Rolling Rock itself is now a Budweiser brand, made who knows where.

If I'm not mistaken, Red Stripe, of all things, is brewed in Latrobe.

No, it is not from Jamaica. It is a "Jamaican-style" beer.

That's a mighty big loophole. I mean, if it's wet and is packaged in a bottle, you can claim that it is "Jamaican-style."

You don't even get a full 12 ounces in a bottle.

[IronLionZion]

20. Rolling Rock is brewed in New Jersey

yes, the Latrobe brewery makes Red Stripe for the US, and Guinness Blonde among a few others.

I like Red Stripe beer but the short wide bottles are impractical. Coors banquet is another one that uses that short bottle design.

[DeminPennswoods]

23. Nope, IC still being brewed

Can't do a proper boilermaker without "Imp" and "Iron".

[RockCreek]

27. Anything other than Iron City

Wouldn't be as well received...

[Historic NY]

6. Shanksville is a little corner of no where.

I was out there for one commemoration . The fireman were all over the place making sure no one got lost. They are out there every year.

[Harker]

9. Joe six-pack. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. LOL

[Delarage]

17. I love seeing Joe with people

That is really his thing---I know it must be hard for him to avoid it due to the virus, which just shows his dedication to following scientific guidelines.

So nice to see him with regular folks---instead of the orange blob at rallies full of circus clowns and paid whackos.

[mikelgb]

18. what? no micky-dees hamberders? n/t

[PatrickforO]

21. Interesting. In the meantime,

Marketwatch is reporting that the Trump administration siphoned off $4 million from the 911 First Responder Fund.

24. Nice

It's just so healing to see good Dems among good people.

[Blue Owl]

28. K&R

[Blue_true]

29. Hopefully more than one happy guy scored beer.

He was looking right at the guy that helped himself.

[Demovictory9]

30. good
