The mug pictured isn’t my treasure, it belongs to my sister. It does allude to an apparent family legacy that I do treasure, however — rumor has it that our German roots can be traced back to the original brewers of Becker Bier (Brauerei Becker) in St. Ingbert, Germany. Becker’s became a Carlsberg brewery in the 1990s (I think), but I’m not sure if it’s still around. I’ve never tried it. Maybe someday…

It always comes back to beer with you…
