Digital camera-equipped reader Bruce Warren emailed in to comment on Kinzy Janssen’s recent column on Wisconsin's drinking culture. Bruce is anonymously quoted in the column, telling a story about seeing quarts of “FAMILY SIZE” beer upon moving to Eau Claire. From the column:

• I wasn’t ready to confirm the existence of a distinct “drinking culture,” even when presented with first-hand accounts of Wisconsin “culture shock.” A customer at a café told me that, upon moving here, he found beer emblazoned with the words, FAMILY SIZE.

And he was kind enough to send some pictures to prove it – taken at Galloway Grille, were a family size Walter’s Beer quart bottle is on display. Thanks Bruce!

Also, note that this is a bottle that once contained “beer ... that is beer."
