Following up on the brewery bills at the legislature
Greetings, all, hope you had fun on this past sunny weekend. It was a fun time, wasn’t it?

Sour beers are the final frontier of the industry for a lot of folks. For some people, they are a unique and cherished style, never to be missed when available. For others, they are a style to be avoided, so different from the rest of the beer universe. And for a third group, they remain…
