To shore-living Marylanders, the humble, blue-collar Natural Light is more than just cheap beer. Five years ago, nearly to the day, we published "My Old Friend Natty Light." In her story, Mickie Meinhardt firmly staked the claim that a certain part of Maryland is "the South" while also paying tribute to Ocean City locals and their dogged devotion to "shore champagne," aka Natural Light beer. What does a food or beverage (or in this case a beer) say about a place and the people who live there? Mickie explains in this conversation and reading. Cheers to Episode 15 of BATCH!
