Beer News and Notes – Weekend Edition
Here’s some light beer news reading for the weekend.
Not light beer news, because that would be confusing.
Because we know that you’ve got nothing to do between now and 1 pm, here’s a little taste of what’s going on in the beer world this weekend. Of course, if you’re looking to get out and do something, check out This Week in Georgia Beer and This Week in Alabama Beer.
Cheers!
