My Problem With Craft Breweries
I like to drink my beer from a pint glass. Not a mug, not a wine glass or brandy snifter. A pint glass! My first encounter with my problem started at The Independent in Tampa.
I am a Locavore and try to drink only local beers. I asked the bartender to recommend a nice local brew. He pulled out a sniffer and was ready to pour when I told him I preferred a pint glass. I was told that he could not do that because the brewery recommended I drink it from the snifter, I refused and asked for something that comes in a pint glass.
My next encounters came at Lee's Grocery in The Heights and New World in Ybor. Again I had to settle for something that came in the glass I preferred.
Which brings me to yesterday. At Miller's Ale House (Pic above) on Fowler Ave. I notice they had Jai Alai , one of my favorites.. I asked for a pint, again out came the sniffer. I told the girl I wanted it in a pint glass, she told me she could not do that. WTF? So I asked some questions.

FYI Cigar City Brewing. I was told that out 6 local brews they had, yours was the only one that it was mandatory they serve in a snifter.

RACIAL PROFILING AT FIRST CITRUS BANK IN SOUTH TAMPA
"First Citrus Bank in wealthy, predominantly white South Tampa called the police this morning on a young Black man for being "suspicious" because he arrived at the bank (where his check for youth mentoring work was drawn from) before the bank arrived and waited outside for
it to open.
it to open.
Bank employees were so terrified that this man was outside of their bank that they told him the door was broken, thus he went through the drive through to
cash his check.
In the meantime, they called TPD to report a 'suspicious person' outside the bank (we need to procure a copy of this 911 call) and within minutes TPD showed up and confronted the man. At this point the teller had taken his ID and the check.
Two cops approached the man who was waiting for his check to be cashed and accused him of being suspicious. The teller completed the transaction and dismissed the man who was now in a dangerous situation with two cops demanding his ID.
While the teller said dismissively, "Oh it's ok, Thanks. Bye," after realizing that their profiling this man was nothing more than an act of racism. It's not that simple. Racial profiling should be confronted and called out by the community. I REGULARLY wait at my bank for the doors to open. First Citrus Bank personnel were rude and dismissive and their incredulous responses to being confronted about this outrageous act that could have ended in a headline about yet another person of Color being gunned down during a "routine stop" by cops. And "he was suspicious" would have been the defense used to validate it."

Is Leslie Wimes A Plant For The Florida GOP?
Our post yesterday on Nikki Barnes (on left) has cause quite a stir. Our traffic has gone through the roof and we have been banned from her Facebook page, so much for free speech. The other young lady in this image (On right) is Leslie Wimes, a registered Democrat who supports Rick Baker and writes for the right wing Sunshine State News, the news service that frequently praises Republican Gov. Rick Scott and routinely trashes Democrats and the mainstream media. Which begs the question why doesn't she just switch her party affiliation since she gets paid to be a mouthpiece for the GOP. here
--------------------------
Here she is attacking Peter Schorsch. Called him a serious stalker, and said this:
"Perhaps Rick Baker didn't invite big Pete to his watch party. not sure if there would have been enough food."
She needs to get her vanity under contrOl.

Florida Dem Nikki Barnes At GOP Rick Baker's Election Party In St. Pete
Democratic National Committee Member Nikki Barnes at the Florida Democratic Party hangs with Florida GOP Rick Baker.
-------------------
"Why in God's name is an elected Democratic National Committee member from Florida celebrating election night with the Republican candidate for St. Pete Mayor?? Nikki Barnes needs to resign immediately, go far away from the FDP and take her buddy, Leslie Wimes, with her. This is beyond outrageous!" Bryan Farris
