We are pretty excited to announce that Boxcar Brewing Company brewed a delicious Mason Porter (a beer that is) recently. We got to enjoy some at Maysie’s Farm Fest. We are not sure what their plans for the future of this beer are, but we are hoping to see some more in the future. Much thanks to Jamie Robinson and the folks at Boxcar.
