Monks: The Original Hipster Entrepreneurs

To keep monasteries operational, monks have started artisanal side businesses more often associated with another, trendier and more hedonistic counter-culture group.

I've had a bottle of Spencer Trappist Ale. It's not as good as the Belgian and Dutch Trappist beers, but it's better than most of what other American microbrewries are trying to pass off as abbey ales.

jlb self reported long ago...

In other hipster news, I had to go buy some crap yesterday and was in kind of a time crunch, and I didn't account for the weather conditions driving through Clintonville. It was warm enough for the hipster to get out and ride theie fixies, but the hipster still didn't want to drive through the large snow melt runoff/puddles on the side of high street or Indianola. Talk about adding time to my trip.

I find that most hipsters that I know actually dislike other hipsters. It's almost like there can only be one per peer group. Then again, they would probably argue about who liked which obscure ______________ first, and then a 145 pound slap fest would ensue.

Hipsters definitely travel in packs in certain neighborhoods and at certain establishments. I'm not that kind though. I'm sort of a hipster daywalker.

Hipsters would never get into a slap fight. They are more likely to just blog about it and then argue in the comments.

Must be a regional thing, as I only know the hipsters in Portland-Portland, Maine. The ones in Oregon are too mainstream.

It's like emo kids. They start as pubescent confused teens like everyone else. They don't go to cutting and suicide until after they congregate in large groups of four that they realize death would be better than listening to their three other friends complain about the same shit.

Just to clarify.....the hipsters here in Portland OR are imports--mostly from the midwest but Austin and Asheville seem to be big pipelines. I've got a hipster rental house two doors down from me and the bi-annual rotating license plates are mind boggling: Kansas, OH, TX, WI, Missouri, Indiana....Every six months there's a box of free polyester pants out front. Mostly the local kids are granola's or rednecks (with, of course, the ironic disdain of the imports).
