Happy Friday the Thirteen to you all, hope your spooky June day goes well.

There is one thing I want to talk about before I start today’s Round-Up, there’s been some rumblings as of recent that I’m in cahoots with certain retailers or breweries when it comes to posting information. Let me just say that’s patently false. I credit the person who provides me the information first. Some people are more active about providing information and I think it’s only fair to credit them.

This is a free site and I run it because I love beer. Anyway, on to the Round-Up
