Let’s Talk About Beer

Yes, beer. I am a woman who loves beer, and I’m not talking about the mass-marketed crap sold by skinny chicks in bikinis. I love beer so much I brew my own. In fact, I used to blog about beer. I gave it up for a few reasons, not least of which being that in order to write about beer …
