Good morning, Bloomington.

Casper Brewing Company in Bloomington revived a 19th century German lager recipe — inspired by Meyer Brewing Co.— that is now on tap; the brew brings a taste of local history to residents.

Meyer & Wochner Brewery, later Meyer Brewing Co., made German lager from the 1870s until Prohibition closed the business; its historic site now is part of Highland Golf Course on south Bloomington.

Photos capture residents gathering downtown for the annual Christmas tree lighting, a holiday tradition that brightens local spirit (the event marks a festive start to the season).

Kyle Jackson's hat trick powered the Bison to a 5-1 win over the Kalamazoo Wings on Saturday, Dec.
