Two Horse Beer

Last night a local (white collar) band was playing in a more spacious and smoke-free establishment than the downtown rough-n-tumble (albeit fun!) bar and grill: featured for a few songs was our own Miss American Idol. They weren't quite so rock-n-rollsy this time, but the music was still good and they drew a crowd, earning $ for Relay 4 Life.
As we made our way to the bar, I noticed that "Dos Equis" was one of the brews written on their chalkboard wall menu-- which made me smile.
Last week when I announced that I was going to the liquor store for some Two Horse beer, one of Brigg's friends told me I should get some Dos Equis. "I am!" I replied, grinning at his look of confusion.
Last year while Wedding Planning for Bail, her father-in-law-to-be offered a beer (or was this when Brig and Paula were supposed to paint that fence 2 years ago??) Whatever. He had an amusing little tale of his liquor store escapade: Apparently, he'd gone inside, asking for "some of that Two Horse beer"...he'd misread the label previously as EQUINE or something and automatically stored the image of 'horse' in his brain! The poor lady was totally confused, as was he, in trying to describe it..."Well, Dos stands for 2...you know, the two horse beer!" It all worked out in the end, so now we buy it too, I mean dos.
Neigh!
