Sometimes, a drink is really worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
As lockdown restrictions begin to ease across the world, people are clearly excited to get back out and celebrate. One pub in Britain decided to take advantage of the moment and raise money for an important cause.

The most expensive pint in the UK is going to be poured near Bath on Monday (May 17).
Ask the Cuban-born, Chicago-raised guitarist and singer Eddie Turner how he ended up in Colorado about five decades ago, and he says, “It’s actually pretty simple. I saw the band Zephyr when I was in high school, and I was just like, ‘Wow, what an amazing band! I just kind of said to myself, ‘I m going to join that band one day.’”
In the early ’70s, Turner moved to Boulder to study liberal arts at the University of Colorado, and after playing in the band Mother Earth, he did finally get that guitar spot in Zephyr in 1980, four years after the death of guitarist and co-founder Tommy Bolin. Turner appears on the band’s final album, 1982’s

Once eyed as part of the baseball stadium proposal in Shockoe Bottom, the former Weiman’s Bakery property at 127 N. 17th St. is being pitched for a 12-story tower.
Developer Louis Salomonsky filed plans with the city Friday for a redevelopment of the roughly half-acre site.
Plans call for an approximately 124-foot tower with 145 apartments at the corner of 17th and East Grace Street. The building would rise beside the existing Weiman’s structure, which would be incorporated into the development.
The rest of the site would be filled with a new two-story parking deck with commercial storefronts along 17th Street. The development would include a total of 85 parking spaces.
