I basically lifted this post from the AiP announcement. Beer Pairing! Need I say more? I will. All the proceeds go to our scholarship foundation for students currently enrolled.

Reunion Invitation

By norm | Published: November 13, 2009
Recently my boss has been telling me about her upcoming 20th high school reunion.
