Re: Local Breweries

I hear you on granite city, and I certainly wouldn't fault you for not including them. I haven't been to Jaipur in ages either, and I only recall their jalapeño beer. But checking lcc website, they have paid taxes on 750 gallons that they have brewed this year. Speaking of the lcc (liquor control co...

Re: Menards (Stony Brook)

When Menards built in Fremont at first there was no lumber yard. All the lumber they had was inside the main store. That was at the original store, which was a repurposed WalMart. When they built the new store down the road, it included the lumber yard. I recall the reasoning for not having a lumbe...

While I can't say that certain air based missions wouldnt leave, the 55th wing is mostly responsible for running the entire base.

Not that I know of. If you stick to lower alcohol beers, those will typically be lower in carbs because of lower starting gravity (sugar content).
