I must accession this beer and then process it

Yesterday Josh won the husband of the year award for stopping at the store on the way home from work and bringing me not only surprise roses for no reason, but also a delicious six-pack of Archives Beer! Okay, so they actually don't call it Archives Beer, they call it Independence Pale Ale, and it is brewed by the Independence Brewing Company right here in Austin, along with a few other brews. Not only is this beer quite tasty, it also features the remarkable Angelina Eberly, heroine of the 1842 Archives War that kept Austin (and not Houston) the capital of Texas.

She might look a bit familiar to Austin residents as she is featured on a statue downtown on Congress (photographed here by the lovely Jo). She also graces a series of Archives coffee mugs that the student SAA chapter put out when I was in library school.

So raise your glass to Angelina, and drink up for the Archives!
