>Wow, where do I begin? First, I must apologize. I have been so busy lately with writing a review for the Philly Beer Scene Magazine, booking and attending Tastings on Tuesdays, and setting up an every Thursday night event at the Craft Beer Outlet.

Each week, Scoats and I will chose a person or two to join us at the Grey Lodge on Tuesday night … [Read more...]
