Kolsch for My Buddy's
One of several beers I plan on having ready for June 2002 when my friends that moved to Las Vegas come back home, (to Pittsburgh), for a visit - (I'm bottling an APA tomorrow & brewing an American Brown next weekend). Might even have time to get two more batches ready before they get here - (they can drink)!!!!!
