I'm lucky to have 4 different breweries brewing in my little hometown! I have been to all, (Knee Deep brewery, the Auburn Ale House, Moonraker Brewery, and most recently, Crooked Lane brewery.and there are so many more around the region. I have my favorite, but I love them all!!! Yes I've been...

I always seem to fill my glass as opposed to just haveing 12 oz. guess I need a smaller glass. Lately I seem to have trouble motivating myself to keep the kegs full.
