We are more than excited to welcome a new addition to the Beer Geek family. Just yesterday, Knight Jason and wife, Dani, welcomed a new baby girl into the world. We can't wait to meet her! In other good news, Mike and I are on vacation this week. We've had a great time visiting Columbus, OH for a Crew game, Cedar Point, and Chicago. I could use one of these about once a month.
So we all know Obama chose Bud Light, but hey, no one is perfect. If you have news for the next edition of the Roundup, submit it to hoosierbeergeek@gmail.com.
