Good morning! And Happy Independence Day! Long weekends are great, but you know what's even better? A long weekend followed by a short workweek followed by another weekend.

This morning, we hope you enjoy this mini-sized Bulldog Brew. (Think of it as a single shot of the Dawgs.)

We’ll be back with your Venti-sized edition tomorrow.
