My Current State of Craft Beer
When I first started in the craft beer industry, I was working as an associate at a craft beer and wine carryout store. This was a time when craft beer was at its height. It was a time of bottle allocations and sometimes having to sell a case of Zombie dust from 3 Floyds by the bottle so everyone could get one.

Some pairings slap, some are questionable, and one is absolutely a joke. Welcome to Turkey on Tap — your next favorite (and slightly chaotic) holiday tradition.
