Breaking News: SCHROON TO BECOME A DRY TOWN

In what will potentially go down as one of the biggest news days in Schroon Lake history  -- beside the closing of the Severance Store, and the barely mentioned incident involving a former Town Board member wearing a too tight pair of Speedos on a 100 plus degree day at  the beach – Schroon is enacting drastic new restrictions on alcohol consumption and will be re-introducing Prohibition.

And there is huge outrage from those impacted by this new law, passed by the Town Board last night. Chief among them is Paul Mrocka, co-founder of the Paradox Brewery, who told Schroon Laker today he now will be forced to turn the brewery into a milkshake bar.

Paul Mrocka's jaw hit the ground  today when he learned of the news

“We are trying to figure out ways to keep that hoppy taste, but in a milkshake. It's gonna be a little weird, but we are game," Paul said.

Meanwhile, Schroon Laker has learned that a silent partner in the business, Saul Mrocka, has devised a devious plan to keep part of the brewery going.

We have also confirmed with producers from CNN the cable news giant is preparing a report on this draconian step backwards. It is scheduled to be broadcast on Anderson Cooper’s  show tonight, barring Donald Trump putting his foot into his mouth.
