Hey! That's my bike! Literally, that's mine. This must be an old picture, because it hasn't looked that clean in months.

I read ~jillysp~'s caption on the flickr and disagree with her gentrification ennui rap. I've lived on 19th st for almost 5 years, and yes the neighborhood's changed but not in any sort of a bad way. Small business moving down fifth avenue has improved the economic stability of the area, but without changing the closeness of the neighborhood--I still know who my neighbors are, and I still hear Spanish music through my window on Saturday afternoon.

Though, the Non-Stop Discount Mart did close this weekend. RIP.

It was always the deal that Hop Obama was a limited run that would end after November 4th. If you'd asked one of your friendly neighborhood beer bar-tenders, we would have let you know that, and sold you a growler for your secret stash. Instead of pouting, we should all just be excited about the next awesome new treat Sixpoint can brew up with those production resources.

The TTB also went after Ommegang for their limited Obama-gang release, as well. So the feds aren't picking on Sixpoint. http://www.examiner.com/x-2327-Drinks-Examiner~y2009m1d14-Feds-put-a-cork-in-Obamagang-beer
