Trashed Pandas and Dry January Quitters

70% of people doing Dry January are liars.

Here's one I find hard to believe. Apparently 70% of people taking part in Dry January so they won't go back to drinking. C'mon, you ain't fooling me. Maybe they asked them like a week into January and they were feeling good and high and mighty and thought they would keep it up, but I just don't see that many people calling it quits. We'll see what the numbers tell us.

Some news that didn't shock us this week is that former Rogue employees are suing the company claiming they didn't proper followed proper procedure per the WARN Act that says you have to notify employees of larger companies before a plant closure effecting 50 or more people. (I think it was 50.) Considering the company is going (went) out of business there may be exceptions in play here. Another that we'll see how it develops.

The oldest monastic brewery in the world has been sold. Weltenburg Abbey in Bavaria has been brewing for 1,000 years and they're being bought by Munich's Schneider Weisse. Another sign of the times but sad considering all the brewery has been through.

In other news, Beer Brulee is trending, Brian gets a new t-shirt, the Most Interesing Man in the World is coming back, and The WHO thinks beer is too cheap. Whatever.
