Hey everyone - I'm going to run this LIF round as well. All of the beer is coming from Bryan Turner (spdyfire83) and a few 'slightly' well known brewers who have stepped in to help!
A few quick notes before Bryan's message. For those of you who don't know Owen, Owen is an amazing 3 year old who was diagnosed a few months ago with B Cell All Leukemia. It's a 3 year treatment plan that comes with a lot of ups and downs. You can read Casey (his mom's) post about the spinal tap that he just underwent on the youcaring site 'updates' tab.
This round will be open to anyone worldwide! However, like last round, i could use the help of two or three volunteers to pick up shipping if any boxes are won internationally.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Please take a moment out of today's celebration to make a donation and help Owen with his fight!
