Let me be the first second to admit it: I’ve fallen off the beer blogging bandwagon. I’ve been missing Session deadlines left and right. Heck, the last time I participated was way back in August. Why the lack of posts?

Spaten (which is German for ’spade’) is brewed in Munich by the same people who make Franziskaner. Can’t make it to Munich for a tour […]
