Beer-sipping Pig in Alabama
The Associated Press. DECATUR, Ala. There's nothing like a beer-sipping swine to lure visitors to Alabama. That's the hope of state tourism officials, who looked back in Decatur's history to find the poster pig for a campaign advertising a new series of walking tours in more than 30 Alabama towns and cities. "The rest are good, but in terms of character you can't beat a drinking pig," said Brian Jones, spokesman for the Alabama Bureau of Tourism and Travel.

Pabst Blue Ribbon: Another Winner
By Bret Schulte, The Washington Post. America has discovered a new beer, one that seems right for a country facing bad times. Pabst Blue Ribbon, a forgotten if not forsaken brand, once the solace of the beleaguered working man, and, regrettably, a beer often associated with what people in polite company call "trash," has staged a surprising comeback. The resurgence is mostly among young adults, led by colleagues such as snowboarders and indie filmmakers. Perhaps it's a sign of the times, or a remembrance of the way it was, or a toast to blue-collar virtue. However you pour it, PBR is America's new beer for a simple reason: It is not new at all.
