Beer & Stories

We tasted a variety of beers with interesting stories behind them. From the legendary trip to Paraguay for Palo Santo Marron to Jim Koch's tale of finding his great-great grandfather's recipe for Samuel Adams Boston Lager in his dad's attic, there are some great beer stories out there. We mixed together story time and beer time.
