    Well done this month with the mag, which came in the mail earlier this week for me. I've only been subscribed since February's issue but the improvement is significant regarding content that is both increasing and getting more in-depth. The piece on the Southern Africa craft scene in particular was really top-notch which I knew nothing about as I had thought that macro-owned breweries were pretty much all that was over there.

    To add from personal experience on the ballpark section, the Phillies have done nice work in getting a bunch of local crafts into their beer program. In addition to the ones mentioned, I've seen Flying Fish, Sly Fox, and the two major city breweries in Yards and Phila. Brew Co. all offered there. Even tiny start-up Prism Brewing with their Shady Blonde for the past couple seasons.

    that's awesome - excited to see my local brewery in college (east end) featured in the mag, they're very good. snagged this one a la carte and will be subscribing when i have a permanent address.

    I enjoyed this month's issue greatly, keep up the good work. I found it amusing in the "not your mother's may day party" article the author suggests wrapping your bong in colorful ribbon to have a festive centerpiece. Should we just assume that most BA's have a bong?
