As Americans, we believe in certain unalienable rights. At Rough Draft, we’re not sure what those rights are, but we know we enjoy having them (We kid. We’re not that voluntarily ignorant). So it’s a wonder to us that no one thought to write a beer Bill of Rights until 2009. It took us that [...]

The Rough Draft crime desk sees its share of odd DUIs and celebrities making some drinking related faux pas, but rarely do we get hard hitting homicide news. It’s not because people don’t kill people when they’re drunk, because people do the shit out of that; it’s just that it’s rarely worth your infotainment dollar.
In the [...]

Listen, we’re against irresponsible drinking. Okay, technically that’s a lie. We’re completely for irresponsible drinking; we’re against drinking and putting other people at risk with dumb behavior. That said, it seems ridiculous to be arrested when you haven’t even left your bar stool.
That is, unless your bar stool doubles as a fucking Mario Kart. Kile [...]

Being small has a certain stigma attached. Americans always seem to want things bigger; from cars and value meals to breasts and houses, we even want foot long wieners (it’s okay, you can chuckle). The point is we always want more. But apparently Crown Imports LLC, distributors of the uber-popular Corona brand, don’t necessarily agree. [...]

Craft brewing has been on the rise since laws banning home brewing were repealed in 1978. Since that time, America has seen its number of breweries sky rocket. We’ve also seen the quality of the beers offered shoot through the roof. Unfortunately, despite the quality and variety of brews available, beer still takes a backseat [...]

Apparently even the giants are affected by the slowing world economy. Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, which was formed when Belgium’s InBev bought out America’s Anheuser-Busch in 2008, has announced it will find ways to cut costs across the board. Despite the fact that the combined company posted a positive gain for 2007, merger costs and a [...]

Five dummy Oregon state law makers have proposed to impose an extra steep tax on beer in the state. So, the current tax of over $2 on a barrel of beer produced in Oregon would be raised to $49.61. That’s a 1,900% tax hike. Why not just double it or something and proprose other smaller [...]

Have you ever left a bar and thought to yourself, “God, how did I spend that much?” Well, we’re betting you haven’t ever felt this bad (or this good) about how much you’ve spent at the bar. Y’see, after two local businesses burned down in Decatur, GA, an eBay auction was set up to sell [...]
