Innkeeper Part Two

It is a rare thing for me to brew the same beer twice.  To date I have only done this on two occassions.  One occassion being the Uncle Bens and the other occassion being the legendary Innkeeper.  This is a kit from northern brewer and was also the first beer that I kegged.  As we all transition into our new careers I am very excited about Triangle Brew Crews 2012 brewing season.

On an unrelated note I was shopping at Harris Teeter today and noticed that The "Beer Section" has a label over the aisle that I did not agree with.  The title of the section reads: "Beers & Ales"  This initially struck me as strange.  Why would it be labeled this way as it violated beer taxonomy and lexicon.  Perhaps Brian Lupo can chime in here but from a Socratic or Platonian view: All Ales are Beers, but not all beers are Ales thus...... the sign doesnt make any sense.  The sign should read.... Ales & Lagers.  The grocery chain should be getting a letter in the mail.  What do you guys think?
