John Holl has announced the topic for The Session #53: Beer Redemption.
No, he not suggesting everybody track down a bottle of Russian River Brewing’s Redemption.
Holl explains by offering a story about why refused to drink beer from Smuttynose Brewing for nine years, and ultimately how silly that decision was. It his story of redemption and he’d like participants to tell their own July 1.
I was at a redemption center once. Does that count?
You’d have to ask John, but I’d be all for a story about beer purchased with Green Stamps.
What are Green Stamps?
😉
Now, I may be misunderstanding across a great N-S divide within English but in NY state a “redemption center” is a empty bottle return. See the Watertown, NY example: http://www.tellusmore.net/watertownny/griffsredemption/griffsredemption.php?id=12065
Is that still a reference to Green Stamps or is that another thing?
Alan – When I saw your comment I thought of two things. First, the books of Green Stamps my mother would collect, eventually to redeem books for something like a set of four cocktail glasses.
Then just what you mention – a place you take empty bottles.
…the books of Green Stamps my mother would collect…”
Oh sure, your mother…
;D
(What did S&H stand for anyway?)
