Located next to the Carter Volkswagen Stage an array of entertainment takes place before your eyes" • The Tap House Grill Buxom Beer Garden: "Buxom means big in the Tap House Grill Beer Garden located within the Stranger Microbrew Tasting Garden....

There should be equal schnitzel representation.

On what grounds then do you make such a demand? The boobs+beer equation has always worked just fine without your notions of equality.

Because, of course, we must try to preserve some semblance of authenticity. Ah, those crazy krauts and their love of beer served over cleavage...

I don't understand why I'd go to the Stranger's beer garden. $20 for 20-oz of beer seems a little steep.

Now I am not saying that no women drink beer, I am sure quite a lot do, but traditionally beer has been a male dominated market. What do men like? We like boobs!! (except you Mr Poe) Now if you persist in asking for this level of equality I will begin a petition to install pole dancers on "The View" and soft core on "Lifetime". It isn't discrimination to have events that are catered to certain sexes. Where were your cries of outrage at the lack of hot chicks at every firefighter charity calendar event?
The press release is right, if you don't like it, don't go!! Oh but it is so much easier to bitch, isn't it. Are you that lazy that inaction is actually to much work?

Tap House is sponsoring the Buxom Beer Garden. Clement is saying they are installing an 'all manner of cleavage' within the Stranger Microbrew Tasting Garden. This isn't hard to figure out.

The chicks can stay, but it would be nice to see some meat. Preferably Dan Savage meat. Just sayin'.

And frequently, nothing else, other than socks and shoes.

I'm sure such traditional garb would be welcome at the Fremont event.

If the Stranger is sponsoring the beer garden this year, does that mean no fence and moat?

That list of sponsors sounds good for the Seattle Center, but Freemont? How does the chamber of commerce that (probably?) put this thing together think this is the kind of foot traffic that will behoove (OMG pun!) local businesses?

Not against the cheesy themes, just wondering "why?"

Yeah, that works for me.

Which, I realize, requires them to actually do something.
