So I find myself in cosmopolitan Spencer, IA tonight and as a suggested to me by a friend, I went to a "dive" bar, Weasy's. It is less of a dive bar than say Budde's in Galesburg, but it had a much worse selection of a beer. Weasy's is really a townies bar and grille. I went in and found a spot at the bar, along side some of the locals that were out have a couple cocktails after their workday. Weasy's has a varied clientele from families to 20 somethings to the grey haired crowd. So pretty much anyone that is local makes it into this place.
Onto the beer part. I notice as I am taking a seat that they have all of 5 taps Bud, Bud Light, Mich Golden, Amberbock and Sam Adams Lager. I'm sure you can guess what I ordered, yep that's right Sam. As I am looking at the menu to decide on my dinner, I notice on the back page the list of their bottle and canned beer, everything was the mass produced stuff. At least they had Sam Adams. I did notice that they had Millstream soda but no Millstream beer.
As I look around the place I see that it is decorated with softball mementos as well as Miami Dolphin collectibles. So to surmise the owner played softball and is a Miami Dolphin fan. Also I noticed that most of the softball stuff had Budweiser on it somewhere, the local Bud dealer must of sponsored the teams.
Well I made my first adventure into the unknown of the local "dive" bars. I hope this might be a blog that happens occasionally as I make my rounds. Jim, thank you for the idea!
Tomorrow night back to Lincoln, NE unsure where I will go, maybe Yia Yia's ar someplace else. Until tomorrow night.
