At the Country House, you can save the tab you left

Kawkawlin Country House, where beer tabs live on 

Doc’s report:

In the design of the modern beer can, John Updike saw in 1964 an image of technology gone wrong. “This seems to be an era of gratuitous inventions & negative improvements,” he wrote.

He fondly recalled the beer can of old: “It was beautiful -- as the clothespin, as inevitable as the wine bottle, as dignified & reassuring as the fire hydrant. A tranquil cylinder of delightfully resonant metal, it could be opened in an instant, requiring only the application of a handy gadget freely dispensed by every grocer."
