Surely by now you know the name Ken Schmidt. After all, he's the homebrew mastermind behind not just one of our handsome collaboration beers, but two of em! You undoubtedly recall the glory that was the…
They say all good things come to an end. And as much as it pains me to admit it, I think they're right. Unfair? Absolutely! Especially while some of the most awful atrocities refuse to go away. (Can you believe that Kenny G is still churning out new CDs?) But enough about the bad. Let's focus on the good... the REALLY good. I'm talkin bout…
