whos got two thumbs and is brewing this weekend? this guy! Texas Blonde from AHS is next on the list. Ordering three more batches of various styles next paycheck :tank:

I've got a Texas Blonde Ale from AHS being delivered tomorrow or Monday, been brewing darker beers as of late so its about time for a session beer. :ban: excited.
