According to Moonalice legend, beer goes really well with hemp. Tribe members in the upper Midwest discovered this in the 19th century, when a bunch of European immigrants with funny names moved into the neighborhood and started brewing. Blatz, Schlitz, and Miller settled into the Milwaukee area. Their insistence on the use of hops instead of hemp surprised the local Moonalice tribe, but their disappointment didn't last long, as the symbiosis between beer and hemp quickly became obvious to all. Pretty soon thereafter, the tribe discovered German sausages. Hmm-mm good.
