[From Jonathan Nicholas' column in the Portland Oregonian]

  Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve is kind of a funny name for a beer, don't
you think?  Sounds more like a place to hunt partridge.  Or a discreet
bordello.  A Republican lunch club.  Or a remote ranch where rich Texans go
to get their tummies tucked.

  But it drinks, and sells, just fine.  So nobody at Blitz-Weinhard
complained as company president Fred Wessinger mused at some length, so to
speak, over the christening of his newest product.  "Blitz-Weinhard Blue
Boar Brand Ireland Style Premium Light Ale" is quite a mouthful in more ways
that one.

  Following discreet, and successful, test marketing in California, Henry's
Irish made its hometown debut Tuesday evening as a crew of River City
quaffers gathered to "pore" over the brew.

  The ale will be launched next week with a series of the kind of splendid
TV ads we've come to expect from the brewery.  Shot in Waterford, Ireland,
the ads feature a cadre of Irish codgers supping in the local pub.  The good
ole boys certainly look the part, but I couldn't help asking Wessinger why
there were no young folks in the ads.

  "We wanted some," he said.  "But we went all the way to Waterford for an
authentic Irish look only to find that all the youngsters there have blue
and pink spiked hair."
