When we spotted the top 50 craft brewing companies list over at Beer Advocate last week we decided to use it as a measure of our progress. Rough Draft was born back in October of ‘08 and we’ve tried a lot of new beers and learned a lot in that time. So treating our six month [...]

It’s Monday morning which means it’s time to reflect and share your stories and beers from this past week. Did you do some lights-out beer drinking Saturday night?
