I have friends that live in Vegas and the BJ's there has one of its specialty beers on tap, a Raspberry Beer.  They have requested me to brew for them for the next time they are down.  Any body?

Bob was kind of enough to send me his recipe.  Thanks Bob.  Now I have to wait till Jim gets more wheat grain in because a certain unnamed party bought all he had on Saturday

That's pretty funny.  I am guessing it was the K&K crew?
