Celebrate Freedom: Drink Local

To many, the best way to celebrate the Fourth of July is to invite over some friends, fire up the grill and pop a few beers. So, if you're a fan of craft beer it's a good idea tomorrow to try and drink good beer from your local brewers.

I know that some of the liquor laws here in Pennsylvania are among the most ancient in all of America, but there has appeared to be a light at the end of some of those tunnels over the past two years. We aren't there yet, but for this state it's definitely progress.

Your local brewers exemplify what freedom and independence is all about. They put more into their products than what the American majors do. Despite what your television will tell you during commercial breaks all day, knocking back an ice cold Budweiser or Coors Light isn't exactly the American way anymore.

Other than that, there's nothing more American than watching the Ghostbusters make the Statue of Liberty walk through New York Harbor
