    1. [INMONROE] Home Brewed Beer Being Made

    3. Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, August 2, 1919, p. 1. KICK, OR BE KICKED. Home brewed beer is now said to be one of the chief concoctions of this community. The stuff is said to have enough kick in it to make the consumer stop kicking. It is intoxicating, but not exhilarating. The oldtime "suds" made a fellow feel jovial, but the substitute makes a fellow feel like fighting. It is made of yeast, and starts stomach trouble at a lively gait. Home brew is supposed to cure the thirst for a stimulating beverage, but the cure is worse than a disease. One fellow says, "I don't know of anything worse than to imbibe it freely, unless it is to get drunk on dandelion wine." The writer has not tasted it, but is simply giving the experience of a prohibition supporter. Constance T.
