Saturday Brew Review

Beer Reads

It is an exciting time in the world of craft beer. Brewers are experimenting with new styles and refining old established standards. Having a beer once meant drinking an ice cold lager. Now beer drinking can range from light kölsches to heavy Imperial Stouts, from fruity wit beers to sour tangy Saisons. The styles and flavors are wide open!

So, on this rainy weekend, find someplace warm and comfortable, crack open a beer to savor while perusing over some interesting articles from the craft beer nation.

Cheers!
