Beerhalls in _V._

Okay, so what's with all the beerhalls, foax?

There's the bierhalle at the Ezbekiyeh Garden where Hanne, one of 
Stencil's personae, works. Then there's Scheissvogel's in Florence - 
that's two echte Deutsche Bierhallen in other parts of the world. Then
there's Mondaugen's dream of a Munich Bierhalle in Namibia. And 
probably Suck Hour at the Sailor's Grave, not to mention the Rusty 
Spoon, come into it too.

I-i-is this a pattern here, or am I getting paranoid?
