And now I would like to introduce you to Kathy Ashe, a recent transplant from Salisbury, Mo. She was born in...

Each time I go to the store I am amazed at the increase in the number of craft beers and the number of flavored beers. I have seen orange, lemon, apple and even iced tea.

Do you think, as I do, that this is a ploy to attract ladies and younger people to try something new that is less harsh than plain beer? There is a very old history to beer as the workers (or slaves) that built the pyramids were paid by allotments of beer. If they worked really hard,...
