NABC vs. Big Red: "You pay your dues and I'll pay mine."

(Warning: Indelicate language about body parts appears below)

Know that I do not sanction discrimination on the basis of color, creed, sexual orientation, physical characteristics or college basketball rooting preferences. However, I draw the line at assholes. All I ask is to be permitted to continue discriminating against THEM. Coincidentally, did you hear the one about Big Red Liquors? If not, last week's renewal of a long-running feud is documented in three posts at my beer blog, the Potable Curmudgeon.

1. Nine years later, and absolute power still corrupts Big Red Liquors absolutely.

2. Big Red's intent to stock NABC is an intolerable provocation.

3. Truce in our time.
