Blue Moon, Hard Booze

Woke up to a note from Blue Moon Tavern owner Gustav Hellthaler, announcing that he received word yesterday from the Liquor Board that his notoriously rambunctious bohemian watering hole will, for the first time in its fabled history, begin serving hard booze in addition to beer, wine, and hijinks. Last time the Moon sought such a license, jack-booted city personnel tried to shut it down. But thanks to Hellthaler's canny appeals to a functionally alcoholic press and a famous former regular in LaConner, that ambush was stymied. And now, victory at 80-proof.
