La. lawmaker: Free beer from barbers should be K
Houston Chronicle
— A Louisiana lawmaker wants to give barbershops the right to serve their customers free glasses of beer wine and liquor. Jerry Gisclair said he has constituents who run hair salons and told him the state ffice of Alcohol and Tobacco Control was unfairly cracking down on their practice of serving complimentary drinks to customers. Gisclair said his bill is an attempt to put into law specific rules so that all cosmetology businesses — barber shops salons day spas — can serve a limited amount of alcohol while still allowing children in their businesses. “I’m not pushing or promoting alcohol” said Gisclair D-Larose.

The beer of choice? ld Style of course. But the brand hip with poor college students and working-class sippers has undergone a makeover that’s upsetting some Nebraska fans of the blue-collar brew. ld Style producer Pabst Brewing Co. is following a national trend among beer breweries. It’s updating its 100-plus-year-old brand – often mockingly called ld Bile for its bitterness – to make it more appealing to younger hipper drinkers. The marketing ploy is polarizing. Some at ‘Rourke’s were unaware of the change to ld Style beer.
