Random Beer Roundup - Don't Forget to Spring Forward on Sunday edition

Being a life long Hoosier, I'm still getting used to this whole Daylight Savings Time deal. Springing forward, falling back, its all silliness. You still get the same amount of daylight! What savings is there? Grumble, grumble, grumble. But what do I know, I'm just a 105 year old man. Remind me to tell you about how I fought the Red Baron during the Great War sometime...

Twenty-two skeedoo! Here is your weekly Random Beer Roundup. Remember, if you have beer news or jazz era references that you want to share, drop us a line at hoosierbeergeek@gmail.com.
