Narrated by Richard Dreyfuss, it's very well done and moving.<BR/>http://xrl.us/jtownflood<BR/><BR/><BR/>Also in reply to your email a couple weeks ago, Cream Ale sales are up!<BR/>http://xrl.us/creamale<BR/>High Falls Brewing Co. took out a few full page ads yesterday in local publications urging people to buy local. Not to by "blue". Per the article it seems like the buyout rumors are just that - rumors. Still now word on the brewmaster though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
