Fine hops, top-fermentation, small batches. So far, the beers offered at bi-weekly Pub Nights in Loker Commons have been missing all of these characteristics. Brews in Loker start with one dollar drafts of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and reach their pinnacle at Heineken, Newcastle, and Corona. As a member of the Harvard Beer Society, the sorry state of the beer selection at Loker Pub Nights has watered down my enthusiasm. People go to bars because of the variety and quality of the drinks. And seeing as Pub Nights only serve beer, and not mixed drinks, better beer will attract...
That’s why I was excited that Senior Pub Night this Friday would serve 12—count ‘em—house brews, based on votes conducted in each House. But I had my reservations. Popular rule is great for government, but in this case I was a little worried about the tyranny of the majority.

Creating a student pub on campus is probably a good idea, and other intramural fixes are possible. But there again Harvard students would mingle mostly with each other, as in the creepy Final Clubs, and the possibilities for non-elitist, non-competitive fun will probably leave much to be desired. Maybe Harvard students are unhappy because they spend too much time at home, that is, at Harvard? Go out into the world, or at least to Boston, and your college experience will be richer, although you might not remember as much of it the next...
Having already assisted Corker in planning events like Pub Night, Haan proposed the creation of a centralized, web-based calendar of events that will effectively publicize campus happenings...
