150 years ago the only interesting thing to do in Winterset was get drunk and look at a bridge. Some things never change.

I think they uncovered one in IC a year or two ago. There must be hundreds of them dotting Iowa. We've always liked to get drunk.

I heard they took the 150 year old beer and threw a Busch Light label on it and called it good.

They found something similar in Decorah recently also.
