Shutdowns aren't all bad

MillerCoors Becomes Casualty Of Minnesota Government Shutdown
Miller, Coors and other popular beers may disappear from Minnesota stores and bars within days because brewing giant MillerCoors lacks the proper licenses due to the state's government shutdown.


MillerCoors has 39 "brand label registrations" with the state that expired last month, and the employees who process renewals were laid off when state government shut down July 1 in a budget dispute, Doug Neville, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said Wednesday.


The affected brands include not only the Miller and Coors lines, but a long list of regional and craft beers such as George Killian's and Blue Moon and imports such as Pilsner Urquel and Molson.
Miller and Coors would not be a problem - never drink them anyways.  Blue moon - wonder if they could selectively process those renewals.
