<p>I don’t know why Colby is receiving all this attention for serving beer and wine at dinners for a price, when Bates already has beer available on tap at the Bobcat Den, any time the Den is open (Coors Light and Killian’s Irish Red). And I believe Middlebury serves beer at The Grille. Any comments on this? Finding out that they have beer on tap just makes my transferring to Bates more awesome.</p>
<p>Remember - this is Bates! The ladies behind the counter have a list of all students 21 and over. If you're not on the list, or don't have proper ID, no brewskis.</p>
<p>Also, the Den isn't exactly a rip-roaring place. Think of it as a place where staff eat by day, and students fraternize and study by evening. A nice place, music occasionally, but no massive party scene that I know of in the Den.</p>
<p>I'll be 21 for 2/3 of my Bates experience, so I won't fret. True the Den is more of a meeting/chill spot, but it's beer on tap, on campus! And it's Killian's! Eiranne Go Brach!</p>
<p>I'm about to have one! See ya in the Den... :-)</p>

<p>There's a lot of envious words I could use right now but I'm pretty sure they'd be censored.</p>
