7/24 isn’t exactly a huge day in history. But from among the events listed for today’s history, my discerning eye took note of the following notation:
1487 – Citizens of Leeuwarden, Netherlands strike against ban on foreign beer.
It’s not exactly Constitution / human rights material. But it only seems proper that a person would pull out the battle-axe and fight for a mug of the quality beer of his or her own choosing when the medieval nanny state interferes. Especially if the local ale sucks. I’m just sayin’.
