American Beers
July 17, 2009

I hope everyone enjoyed last month's tribute to foreign-brewed beers. Now let's flip the coin and show the rest of the world what the United States of America can brew. In celebration of the birth of our nation, July is "American" month. The rules are simple: we're drinking anything brewed and bottled domestically.
