Last week, I took a trip to
Jersey City to visit friends. While my wife went up to the top of the
Empire State Building, my buddy Kepic and I decided to kill the time drinking pints in the
Heartland Brewery on the ground level. Later, around the table for lunch,
Kepic noticed a card with interesting beer tidbits. One talked about the history of the term, "Mind your P's and Q's." Back in Ithaca, I looked it up and found out that Heartland's claim is one of many, but there is no refutable evidence that it's true. The brewery claims that it comes from pints and quarts, the two main measurements for drinks. When things would get rowdy in bars, you would often hear "Mind your pints and quarts!" I like the idea and hope it's true.
