Today is National Beer Lovers Day and it’s so cool that here in Southwest Florida we have a lot of breweries to celebrate, over 20 of them in fact.
It seems these days there’s a silly holiday everyday, however this is one that I can get behind. And if you enjoy beer too, you are literally doing as the Romans do as beer and drinking it dates that far back.
What better way to celebrate than to throw back a cold one and exchange some great beer quotes from some notable drinkers.
