Good morning. “If you can’t fly then run, If you can’t run then walk, If you can’t walk then crawl, But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Today, we pause to honor a man who moved our country and our society forward in so many ways. As we celebrate victories, moments and stories in each and every Brew, let us remember those who helped pave the paths before us. 

This morning, we hope you enjoy this mini-sized Bayou Brew. We’ll be back with your Venti-sized edition on Tuesday.
