Thanks to a couple of Virginia state legislators, residents of the Old Dominion state can once again enjoy a fanstatical summer treat -- frozen beer on a stick.
See, this restaurant in Arlington had an amazing idea last summer: Brew Pops -- frozen beersicles.
But then it turned out that it's illegal to serve frozen beer in Virginia for some reason, because freezing beer turns it into a food. And it becomes illegal. Or something.
Anyway, now the state has changed its liquor laws to make room for Brew Pops.
Viva Summer!
