I was in Kevin&#8217;s wedding 20 years ago and he moved to Oregon shortly after that. Being the mecca of craft breweries that Oregon is, he has learned a thing or two about beer. He was drinking the Wiseacre Astronaut Status and commented, &#8220;This is a world-class beer.&#8221; It&#8217;s a high-gravity bottled beer, so be prepared if you plan on trying this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/consequenceofsound.net\/2016\/01\/austin-street-sign-vandalized-to-honor-david-bowie-city-decides-to-leave-it-up\/\">Someone vandalized the sign<\/a> at 5th and Bowie Street in Austin, changing the sign to read &#8220;David Bowie&#8221; street.
