Punxsutawney Phil has made his prognostications on the weather, but who is he picking in the Big Game on Sunday? That’s right, it’s Super Bowl Week and the 50th playing of the NFL’s championship game has the sports (and beer) world dizzy with excitement. Who will win? Will the commercials be funny? With which cold, frothy, delicious, hoppy beverage will you wash down those Super Nachos?
