I was on the way to go grocery shopping recently when I realized that I hadn't had lunch yet. Shopping on an empty stomach is bad, I'm told, so it seemed like a great opportunity to get lunch. I'd been watching Escape Velocity Brewing try to get established for a while. But in the last year, I've only gone there to get growler refills. It was time to check the place … [Read more...]
