He generally uses British hops, which I found easier to take. Larsen says he's more interested in making "session beers"--you can drink several at a time--than...
...admit it. I pity rising Winthrop seniors. The prospect of sharing one cot that rolls out of a basement custodial closet with four blockmates isn’t pleasant. But n-6 housing doesn’t mean we should give transfers...
