This is the only explanation I can come up with because at their last meeting they announced there would not be a property tax increase.

Golden Fleece Maibock by the Erie Brewing Company received a glowing review in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Dave DeSimone gave the amber beer a ‘Highly Recommended.’ I suggest you conduct your own research to confirm the rating.
