Just back from a morning session with Chris and the gang at Starbucks, some of whom are proposing to invest in the Indian King Brewery. How funny is that? They also are lobbying to have the Indian King Tavern, which is now functioning as a tourist attraction, reopened as a pub. They want to pick the brains of a few of our lawyer friends as to the legality of it. The State owns it now. I would think that the property alone would be worth a few million dollars, never mind cutting through the red tape to serve beer in this dry town. Though the town had several colonial era watering holes, not a drop has been served here since Prohibition, but you are welcome to bring your wine to the restaurants. I think getting the town to go from dry to wet would be a real battle even though people here are real boozehounds. Remember, this is a town that went to war with a guy over his right to sell hot dogs from a cart on the main street. Also, the town which was up in arms when a homeowner painted his house purple. It's a moot point since no one has millions lying around to pony up for a fancy brewpub! But it's fun morning chatter.
