CRAFT BEER CRUSADERS
Beer, It Should be on the Menu
Today, luckily for beverage aficionados and
amateurs alike, it can be difficult for diners to find a bar or restaurant without at least one craft beer on the menu.

Think quinoa with pine nuts instead of rice and tarragon purple potato salad over their mashed cousins.
