Bio/beer Philosophy:

’Lo, there do I see the Stouts. ’Lo, there do I see the IPAs, and the Barley Wines, and the Abbey Ales. ’Lo, there do I see the line of my beers, back to the beginning. ’Lo, they do call to me. They bid me drink them in the halls of Valhalla, where the brave may drink forever.
