On our way to Dark Horse Brewing Co we got pulled over by a friendly Michigan patrolman.

When we placed our People's Brewing Company, Figure 8 Brewing and The Tattooed Heart bumperstickers on our car (along with the Subgenius license plate frame, though no one usually catches that) I said "We're going to be profiled".

I can't prove that we *were*, maybe we were just the slowest of the fast moving pack. Maybe the bumper stickers gave the promise of an interesting pullover? Maybe he thought we had already had a few?

If we were profiled, I don't think the officer expected a polite-tattooed-crocheting-sober woman and a well-spoken-very-normal-looking-sober man when he got to the passenger window.

License, registration, and a ticket for 5 over.

He was curious about our destination. "Dark Horse Brewing Co"! We got the tip that it was X amount of miles ahead and we should proceed safely to our destination ... and suddenly I felt a little like Hunter S Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...
