What to drink at a murder trial
I’m up in Havre covering the Anthony St. Dennis murder trial. They moved the trial to the Hi-Line because of all the media attention in Missoula.
Nevertheless, Havre doesn’t really have a great beer selection. I was relegated to drinking Kokanees last night, which, besides tasting of sweet corn, are not that bad when you’re exhausted.
But if you really want to celebrate a hard day covering a murder trial, which means hours and hours on your butt in a horribly uncomfortable courtroom chair, I recommend Dupont’s Avec Les Bons Voeux. If you can get your hands on this beer, I’ve seen it in Seattle, Portland, Denver and several East Coast shops, it’s well worth the $10.99 asking price.
This is a surreal beer first recommended to me by Mr. Matt Bonnie of Brouwers and Bottleworks fame. I’ve been looking for it ever since, and I found it tucked away neatly at Portland’s John’s Market.
Anyway, if find yourself working 12-hour days listening to testimony in a murder trial, you’ll want to find yourself a bottle of Dupont.
Prost,
GG
