Jon Abernathy has posted the roundup for The Session #54: Sour Beer. I must confess I was absent. (I only managed a post for #IPADay because I wrote it before hitting the road.) But I enjoyed the roundup and plan to further investigate the links when I’m back on U.S. soil. Meanwhile I will be [...]

Jon Abernathy has announced the topic for The Session #54: Sour Beer. A little hard to believe that this many rounds into The Session that the theme of the month has not focused specifically on sour beers, isn’t it?

Put your beer and cheese shopping shoes back on. Jay Brooks has already posted the roundup for The Session #51, which is full of cheese and beer ideas for a special mid-month session.
