Any phrase that encourages beer-making is fine by me.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com" rel="nofollow">Great Lakes Brewing Co.</a>Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254821416020296674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051744883907551402.post-69118052964870100222010-01-02T15:01:56.083-05:002010-01-02T15:01:56.083-05:00The need for editors is more apparent each day.

The venues are changed, but the battles are similar. The effects are less evident, but in some cases they may be longer lasting.
