[Panel 1]
[Bell]
It's no good. Steve won't play.

[Nils]
But. Mild. All gone. No more.

[Bell]
Only because we got Elizabeth's
madrigal circle to go along
to the pub last night.

[Elizabeth]
That will NOT be
happening every week.


[Panel 2]
[Bell]
And Steve needs to stock the beers
that sell reliably, not just
when a bunch of loonies come in.

[Elizabeth]
Especially with the way
the tax keeps going up.

[Nils]
Need more mild.

[Bell]
Then why don't you just...
oh no, I'm not going to say it.


[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Why aren't you going to
say he should brew his own?

[Nils]
That's it! Woman,
you're a genius!

Let me just order a fermenter and a
boiler and a sparging-iron and
yeast and grain and bottles and a
mill and crown-caps and hops and a
bottle tree and a hydrometer and a
couple of taps and a capper and
half a mile of plastic tubing and...


[Panel 4]
[Bell]
THAT'S why.

[Elizabeth]
He won't need all that. He
could use the sausage-machine
for milling the grain.

[Bell]
Now he's going to be
taking over the kitchen
for hours at a time.

[Elizabeth]
I suppose he will
be saving the tax.

[Bell]
Yeah right, and Steve will
lose another customer.

[Elizabeth]
Only until Nils gets through his
forty pints and has to wait
for the next lot to be ready...
