But on this night I was not off to the pub, it was &#8217;round to the bar with some like minded friends to talk politics.  And a proper bar needs some neon signs (sadly, bar stools have been outlawed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar-990x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar-990x1024.jpg 990w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar-768x795.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar-1484x1536.jpg 1484w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar-1979x2048.jpg 1979w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I loved that they had hung these two signs together, Coors, a Colorado beer, with it&#8217;s triangular indication of mountains and a triangular piece of neon pizza.  And the pizza from this bar is freshly made to order and quite good so it&#8217;s an appropriate indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"947\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar1-1024x947.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar1-1024x947.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar1-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar1-768x710.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar1-1536x1420.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar1-2048x1893.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I suppose this sign appeals to the patriot opposed to them there foreign beers.  I was born in the shadow of their brewery, and have perhaps drank my share of this product when I was younger, but I can&#8217;t say that this is my favorite today.   (I do like me a foreign beer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar2-1024x820.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar2-1024x820.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar2-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar2-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar2-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar2-2048x1639.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any bar has to have sports memorabilia, because presumably beer is the beverage of choice for sports fans.  I am not a football fan (or a Bud Light fan), but this is a rather attractive bit of neon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1018\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-1018x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-1018x1024.jpg 1018w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-768x773.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-1526x1536.jpg 1526w, https:\/\/flytippings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/bar3-2035x2048.jpg 2035w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1018px) 100vw, 1018px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So one of the other breweries made in the state had this lighted sign supporting the ice hockey team.  It&#8217;s readable, but doesn&#8217;t have the minimalist charm of the neon signs.  I don&#8217;t suppose that any of these signs influence a person to try their wares, but it wouldn&#8217;t be a proper bar without them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I go to the pub, as it is imported from England, everything is quaint and vintage (even the new bits).
