happy american beer day!

[Amby 490]

October 27 is American Beer Day - whatever style is on tap, whether lager, ale, IPA, dark or light, just make sure it's a domestic.

Today, we're one nation under beer so raise a glass and chug-a-lug to the stars and stripes.

Founding Father Benjamin Franklin might have said it best: "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Cheers!
