I'm a traditional conservative.
I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, have tats, keep domestic animals as pets, or do anything that we traditionally consider wasteful.

I certainly do my job supporting NH breweries

Is the Tavern closed for the winter? Where can I buy Dancing Rabbit Vodka?

Yes it has been an interesting winter. We thought we would close for the season but every now and then we find ourselves missing the good people we’ve grown to love and will spontaneously open for the day. We are not the same restaurant due to lack of staff. At this time it’s just Leslie and I serving drinks and a very lite offering.

There is a message on the door in regards to Dancing Rabbit with a QR code. When you capture the QR code on your phone a text is delivered informing us that someone wants vodka. We will respond ASAP.

That is the short list.

When I saw your initial comment, I said that sounds like Xxxxx & Yyyyyy, a couple we play some golf with. Your short list describes their lifestyle to a tee, and we have a ball with them. (Not sure of the wasteful bit, but that doesn't matter to me)

Because this area was a lot more rural than in the past...
School and home lessons always had a dose of the stoic, frugal, New Englander of old... so ''waste not, want not''.

Lots of items come from that group, but we digress when times feel easier. I always remember there is another down market right around the corner, another winter that may not be as easy as the ones we remember...

Old farmers would drink hard cider... but that was more about ''saving'' the apples rather than let them rot (or at least that was what they would pretend).
They smoked... but at a time when tobacco was not so costly.
I don't remember any near me on drugs, and tats were mostly military service in a younger life.
Domesticated animals had a purpose. Cats for rodent control, dogs for critter control... to hunt... or help with livestock.
We seldom dined out... and even then it was mostly at our own restaurants.

Sorry I'll keep buying my Corona Premier, I don't like most "local" brews... To "heavy" and "strong" for me...

If you are totally set in your ways, I get it, that’s your prerogative. If on the other hand you have an interest in being proactive and getting out in front of an issue likely to impact the region I encourage you to ask in-state breweries if they have an alternative.

I’ve served many Bud Lite drinkers☹️ who have the same opinion of local beer having to much flavor and to high an ABV. Such a preconceived notion has preventing them from adventuring out to explore the possibilities. I personally like full flavor and high ABV (more bang for the buck) but I am aware of 2 NH breweries that feature a liter option. Moët Mt has a Czech Pilsner and Burnt timber has an American Larger. Also I believe Twin Barns has attempted to satisfy you but I am not sure of the name/style.

I guess I'm a traditional Libertarian.

I used to drink and smoke but gave both up for health and expense reasons.

I did psychedelics in college and am a regular cannabis user.

No tats or piercings, thank heavens, but I do have a "Joy for All" robotic cat.
