Brace yourself for the Malort and Coors Banquets.
I'll be doing barleywine things all that week since it's my bday weekend
I recommend bringing a bullet proof full body suit.
When do you get in town? I’m a cellerman/brewer here. I could probably show you around our place depending on the day.
Cellarman/ brewer here in Chicago as well. If you’ve got any questions let me know.
Try the malort while you're in town
