Vikings exhibit

Andy and I left the kids to fend for themselves tonight while we went to the Field Museum to view the new Vikings exhibit and have a light dinner. We met up with a couple we know from church and had a nice time talking. We didn't realize it at the time, but we were drinking the Field Museum's own beer, Tooth & Claw. This is an interesting part of the article about how the beer got its name:

Okay, so we have the beer, now what should we call it? No one will argue that the Field Museum’s most recognizable and most famous object is Sue, the largest, most complete and best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex. Discovered in South Dakota in 1990 by what would be her namesake, Sue Hendrickson, the Field Museum acquired Sue and introduced her in 2000. She’s been the main attraction ever since. Aha, Sue Brew! That would be a great idea except that Sue has a myriad of fans way under the legal drinking age and naming a beer after an object beloved by school children throughout the world might not go over so well. Alrighty, so what makes Sue Sue? Taking a look at her, she’s a bit on the ferocious side. That gal has some serious teeth and claws. And there you have it. Tooth & Claw debuted with the Field Bistro in November 2013.
