Short Time Shots

So I'm a craft beer guy. I wasn't always a craft beer guy. It took me to move to Pennsylvania at age 25 to realize that there were good beers out there that weren't named Natural, Beast or Bud. But I also have a very diverse palate when it comes to the types of beers […]

So it's been a few weeks since we downed a few shots, and no, I'm not talking about your double imperial homebrewed egg nog.
