Beer Reads
Early this morning, I’ll be harvesting potatoes from my garden. It is has been hot and dry, so I plan to water as well. Later, I’ll hide away in the A/C and watch a little World Cup soccer: it’s France vs. Argentina, then Uruguay vs. Portugal. Around 5:00 PM, I plan to drive into Baltimore for the Checkerspot Brewing’s Grand Opening. It’s open from 12 PM – 12 AM today.
I’ve discovered a few “beer reads” for your amusement on this 90° plus weekend. Enjoy.
