The Monday Beer Break

Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

We've got beer on the brain for a couple of reasons this morning. First, as you may have heard, Wally the Beer Man got busted at Target Field for selling a beer to a minor (it's his first infraction ever in 40 years of selling beer at Twins games). Wally regrets his mistake of course, and we just hope we can all get past this to get him back on his home turf again.

Also, of course, October means the observation of Oktoberfest all around the world, and so in honor of that time-honored annual celebration of all things beer oriented, let's do songs about beer (or prominently mentioning beer) for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Songs played:
Har Mar Superstar "Tall Boy"
The Fiery Furnaces "Restorative Beer"
Willie Nelson "Bubbles in my Beer"
G. Love and Special Sauce "Cold Beverage"
Hank Williams "There's a Tear in my Beer"
Cream "Strange Brew"
