WHAT’S IN OUR GLASS

Studio Beers
Piedmont brought us some of their new, sexy cans and we debated which logo we liked better. Eric from Southern Barrel stopped by to chat and sip some of their brews.  Melvin’s Heyzeus smells like straight up weed, but drinks damn good.  We popped our last SoPro Selfie Destruct, and enjoyed some Wild Heaven Emmylou and SweetWater Belgian Rose.
