Trouble brewing: Herald features writer Andy Rathbun has spent the past year sampling the seasonal beers of regional brewers. He wraps up his hop and barley musings with a look at "five summertime beers.

With all that time to ponder what was inside the bottle, Rathbun also cast a bleary eye on the labels -- and he doesn't like the "hip, flashy colors and names Pyramid Breweries is using.

We hear ya, Andy. We're still kinda suspicious of those newfangled twist-off caps they're putting on bottles of beer these days.

What a piece of work is a man: Ashland, Ore., the city known for its annual Shakespeare festival, is considering "a law against public nudity after a 66-year-old man visiting the city started walking around town wearing only his tennis shoes. The man suggested Ashland needed a public nudity day where everyone would be naked.

Yes, all the world's a stage, but some of us should never go near the stripper pole.
