Cocktailing at home can sometimes be complicated especially with a lack of ingredients. Luckily, you can just crack open a beer and it doesn't have to be that complex! We are back with our Sunday Spirits. This week is a simple twist on boozy punch but with BEER! The weather is getting warmer and the season is changing, who doesn't love a refreshing "spiked" punch? Our local feature this week is Lavery Brewing Company.  

Cheers and stay well everyone!
