Are hipsters to blame for rising beer prices?

Hipsters get a bad rap from a lot of people, with a recent poll finding that just 16% of Americans having a positive opinion

But now there’s one more thing hipster-haters can add to their list of complaints (besides thinking Grizzly Bear’s boring or fedoras fell out of fashion for a reason): Rising beer prices.

Research Sciences President Chuck Ellis, who has been studying beer prices, has discovered that sub-premium beer prices have jumped 6.8% over the past seven months, with craft beer prices increasing at half that rate. And what does he think the cause is?

“I believe the single biggest driver in sub-premium beer price increases is indeed specifically PBR. It has become quite fashionable.”

As an aside, with all of that said: What the heck is the definition of a hipster anyway?

brightlightsloudnoises:

you’re across the city
and I’m too sober

I don’t know
you all that well
but I’m still
sick for you.

how that can happen.

I’m laughing now
as I get up
to turn off
the
light.

ambulance-artist:

My supervisor literally just asked me if I wanted to stay late and do a 10 hour BLS transport to Pittsburg, PA.

I work for a bunch of comedians, obviously.

So, admittedly, I get nervous when giving radio reports

  • Dispatch: We have a lumbar injury on Lombard.
  • Me: Do we really, or are you just trying to screw up my reports?
  • Dispatch: Both
  • Partner: HAHAHAHAHA REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU SAID PERINEUM INSTEAD OF PERITONITIS?!?!?!
  • Me: That was a long time ago....
medicineisnotmerchandise: Acute myocardial infarction. Two-chamber T2W STIR image (A) in a 34-year-old male with acute chest pain, elevated cardiac enzymes, and ST segment elevation, shows high signal in the mid and apical anterior segments of the left ventricle (arrows) consistent with myocardial edema. Two-chamber phase-sensitive inversion-recovery (PSIR) image (B) in the same patient shows subendocardial scar in the mid and apical anterior segments (arrows). Note that the scarred area is less than the edematous area and this difference is the “area at risk/salvageable myocardium”
