What's Hoppin' this Week? 2/6

Hi and welcome to a chilly edition of What's Hoppin' this week. The thermometer is reading 10º as I write this inside the 509BeerBlog world headquarters, but we've got some indoor events to keep you warm this weekend. Also the winter edition of the Lester Cup brew off has begun and this time the participants have all brewed strong ales which should go down very nice in this weather. I put a post together last week about it, so check that out for more info. Cheers and stay warm everyone!
