Squatters will be releasing an array of Belgians, RedRock will be pumping out more with the help of their new facility, Bohemian brewery is slowly producing more seasonals, Hoppers has got a bottling line and Bud Light Golden Wheat has managed to take a fat hot carl on us all.

Radio Free 91 KRCL
From Issue 16, April 1990
