Stout Month, Valentine's Day, and Trees!

Hey, Reader!
Lately, our emails are few and far between, but hey, we're still here, alive and kicking. So much so, that we're changing our lifestyle up a bit.
So what does that mean for you? Really, the only difference you'll see is less emails in your inbox, and can one really complain about that?
We're just slowing down a bit...a lot bit, actually!
Some of you have heard rumors - rightly so, since we've been the instigators of said rumors π€£ - that we have found some roots. In the form of a tree or two or three.
Those trees are in Buena Vista (BV), Colorado, a quaint mountain town of 3,080 - now 3,082 people. And those roots are what we are looking to expand upon. Roots as in a community hub centered around - you guessed it - craft beer and food.
Our happy place is with friends, beverages in hand, feeling like we are hanging out in our backyard no matter where we are.
Everyone is welcome in our BV Backyard!
Now that you know a bit more of the scoop, let's get to the Valentine's Day scoop and the month of love...and STOUTS! It's STOUT MONTH, baby!
