Before we get into the new beers that are out there, we’d like to share this message on behalf of Stark Brewing Company owner Peter Telge, who asked that we share a link to a fundraiser to help Stark Head Brewer Paul Davis, who has been in “pretty bad shape” due to medical issues. He’s been on a ventilator for the past couple of weeks, Telge says.

If you’re inclined, please take a look at the fundraiser on Facebook to see if you can help ease the burden from Davis’s hospital bills. So far, generous donors have raised over $7,100.

Thanks. Now, let’s take a look at what’s on tap.
