Lamest beer festival in the USA, $15 for the designated driver—really. If you want to go to a real beer festival, go anywhere outside of Utah.
Not expecting free. Unfortunately, the Utah DABC gets in the way of a proper beer fest. Go to a beer festival outside of Utah, and you will see what a real beer festival is like—no punch cards. Pay your admission and sample all the beers. DDs are free to be responsible for the drinkers.
When Utah grows up and learns how to do a real beer festival, then I will buy tickets. The DABC will have to get out of the way for that to happen. Not holding my breath.

"No Goal" Aug 10 Private Eye
While I enjoyed John Saltas' column lambasting the right wing schadenfreude over the U.S. performance at the Women's World Cup, I have to admit it lost me in the final paragraphs.
Saltas claims to quote a social media post from former President Donald Trump that spins the WWC loss as "emblematic of what is happening" in a failing U.S. under Joe Biden. But no one—no one!—is gonna believe for one second that Trump used "emblematic" correctly in a sentence.

Just something else for conservatives to cry about in order to justify their idiocy.
