Having a fireside chat with a Square Nail Pale Ale. Crankin’ up the wattage at the cottage. Today square nails are what manicurists do. But way back in the day, when there were square nails and snail mail, I remember as a kid building the cabin down by the lake with...
Editor’s Note: It appears that our craft connoisseur RA is on scoop and poop detail in the back yard, and once he gets his shit together, his reward is a pint. Dog shit done. Beer me. Smells like beer but will I enjoy it?* Now I have to find my magnifying glasses to...
