drink local, eat local

one of the joys of craft beer is that it encourages folks to drink locally produced beer
so if you're on that bandwagon
how about jumping on the eating local bandwagon too?
and make it organic too, where possible

avoid over-processing, fructose and gmos
support your local (organic) farmer!
