About Rob Kasper
Rob Kasper, a features columnist, has been writing about beer for 20 years, and he remembers when Anchor Christmas and Noche Buena were about the only beers at a holiday tasting and Sisson’s was the only brewpub in Baltimore. A collection of his columns, "Raising Kids and Tomatoes, Amusing Tales and Appetizing Recipes," was published in 1998. He lives with his wife, Judith, a professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, in a downtown Baltimore rowhouse. They have two grown sons, who come home from time to time and drink their father’s beer.

Here's a terrible one:
A young man walks into a Dublin corner local one Saturday morning and orders three pints of the black nectar. He sits there, drinks them by taking turns sipping from one, then the other.
He does this for several Saturdays, and the publican finally asks him why he doesn't drink one at a time. He explains to the publican that he has a brother in Canada and one in Australia that he misses very much, and he likes to imagine that he is having a drink with his brothers. The publican and the regulars agree that this is a fine tradition, and laud him for being a good brother.
This goes on for several weeks, until one day, he comes in and orders two beers. The publican, startled, pours the two and goes back to the bar to discuss matters with the regulars. They mutter amongst each other for while, and finally, the publican approaches the lad and says "We just wanted to say we were very sorry for your loss." The lad looks confused, then smiles, and says, "No, you misunderstand - I've decided to quit drinking."

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi walk into a bar.
The bartender hollers, "What is this--some kind of joke?!?"
