This Week In Craft Beer News: Alabama Blood Brother Battle, Ripped Off In Hattiesburg, Wayward Owl, Garrett Crowell, Tom Acitelli
Hunter Lake is suing Coby Lake. The two brothers are co-owners of Avondale Brewing Company in Birmingham. Last year we had a remarkable barrel-aged Saison at this brewery. It was outrageously expensive but delicious. Details on the blood feud
