Ryeghteous Brown Does it Again
Ryeghteous Brown Ale does it again, bringing home a Round One win for the Mellody Home Brewery. Faithful followers know, this is a favorite beer of mine and one I actually haven’t brewed in over two years. I have been too focused on perfecting the Patersbier and a few others, that the Ryeghteous became the forgotten child of the family, sitting at the mall alone after it’s Dad left without him.

They only listen when we talk
Folks, I won’t berate you too much regarding the little PLCB issue I wrote about yesterday, but I know we are all busy and lazy by nature. So, here’s an email you can copy and paste to send your local State Senator and Congressperson. Edit as you see fit, as I’m sure there are some typos or grammer errors in there.
Seriously, they will only listen if we are talking and they will only talk to anyone if there are a lot of us. Help make being a brewery a little bit easier and see if we can begin to… Read More
