Last night there was a party on my rooftop. The hosts were serving some booze but invited guests to bring their drink of choice. My drink of choice, of course, is PBR. I surveyed my fridge yesterday afternoon and determined there were enough cans that a run to City Market was not necessary. So about 9:00 I grabbed a can and rode the elevator up there. I popped it open and took a few sips. &#8220;This doesn&#8217;t taste right,&#8221; I thought. I examined the bottom of the can and read &#8220;AUG1511.&#8221; Well that&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<p>I have several more of these cans with a similar expiration date. How does one dispose of PBR? It&#8217;s like an American flag that has lived out its useful life. You don&#8217;t just dump it in the garbage with the morning&#8217;s coffee grounds. You dispose of it with respect. What&#8217;s a respectful way to get rid of PBR?<\/p>\n<p>From The Daily News: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisdailynews.com\/news\/2013\/sep\/7\/editorial-tea-shop-has-earned-its-institution-tag\/\">The Little Tea Shop has earned its &#8220;institution&#8221; tag.<\/a> Yes, it has.
