Before you head to Winterfest, or maybe before you head home for your own local beer fest, stop by Thomas Liquors to start the weekend off right with Ben Poupard from Flat Earth. He’ll be pouring this Friday for the February edition of FFF. As usual, Fitty will also have a few other interesting beers up his sleeve to share.
