Randall and a friend of his, have started a brewery in Paris! I have been so excited since I have heard about it and I probably talked Randall's ear off about it at the shower! He even brought a sample of what he is brewing right now! Brian came and had some too! It was yummy! I am so excited for them, for Paris AND the surrounding area! This will be the first brewery since prohibition, in this area! I told him so much how he has 2 of the biggest fans in Memphis! :) I will try my darnest to be at grand opening! Just because I am so darn excited, and it will give me another reason to go home! :)
