Michigan Bans Traditional Beer with Hair Cuts

It makes logical sense, but seems lame. The Michigan State Attorney General hath decreed that barbers may not serve a courtesy beer to their clients for concomitant consumption without a license to serve liquor. The barber claims this is an old time custom and will pursue his right to serve beer during a trim.

“I’m glad we finally got clarity on the issue,” Thomas Martin said today. “Offering a complimentary beer is not something that we created, it’s an old-fashioned service that was done years ago. We just brought it back with the other old-fashioned services that we provide.”

He said he would work with state legislators to legalize the practice.

His barbershop sure seems cool.
