Why I love Beau’s – Part 2

Yup, it’s that time again.  I haven’t stepped up on the old Beau’s Soap Box.  So what’s the deal?  Well, for one, a while back Beau’s hosted a great event at Volo, with a variety of their brews on cask, and the whole team was out and cool to hang out and chat.  I tried […]
