What a fantastic game – Congratulations to the Denver Broncos on their victory. I cherish the time spent with family and friends more than the game itself. Of course, I enjoyed all of the terrific food and the selection of beer.
North Dakota had a victory in the beer scene this past year too…..
Fargo Brewing Company won a bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. The guys took home the first medal ever for the state of North Dakota with its Fargo Original Lager. Even better, Fargo Brewing Company invested in a larger lagering tank to support the demand for this product. What does this mean to all of us? A larger lagering tank translates into a lower price for the beer! (win/win)
