Ding ding ding. We have a winner
Cape, are you still offering one free beer to HTB members? I thought I recall that being said some where in this thread.
absolutely... but only on the barleywine. If you're going to go, go big right?
The county's new congressman, U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, will be in the Berkshires on Thursday to announce a grant for Reid Middle School and offer a plan to help the region's burgeoning micro-brewery industry...
In the afternoon, the congressman will meet with local craft brewers from around Western Massachusetts and from the eastern part of the state at the Barrington Brewery in Great Barrington.
Bills in the last Congress attempted to cut the $7 per beer barrel excise tax on small brewers in half on the first 60,000 barrels, and raise it to $16 on production above that, for breweries making less than 6 million barrels annually.
Neal as a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee has again introduced bipartisan legislation in the new Congress that seeks to calibrate the federal beer excise tax to promote industry growth.
According to 2010 figures from the Beer Institute and National Beer Wholesalers Association, Massachusetts employs some 27,000 in beer production and sales, with a total economic impact of $5.5 billion a year.

The "Long Shot" associated with The Bog is long term economic viability.
My shed is breathing a sigh of relief.
Hey, I stood on the roof carrying a bundle of asphalt shingle on my shoulder and didn't punch through like a finger through wet toilet paper. That shed is like me, solid as a rock.
