This is a LONG one.
I think of it like a mullet. I tried to edit it to be a tight discussion at the front and let it flow a little more loose in the back. Thanks to What The Hops and Buffalo Beer Reviews for hanging out at Big Ditch for the shuffleboard tournament to kick off Beer Week.
Buffalo Beer Week is in it's 10th year and we're right in the middle of it right now. Check out BuffaloBeerWeek.com for all the events heading into this weekend!
