In Episode 20, the final episode (more on that below), I am joined by friends of the show Ed Grohl and Easy Pretzel (Dave).
In this episode, Ed works really hard not to say awesome four-thousand times, we discuss if Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall is greater than Thriller, Harrisburg Beer Week’s Little Big Beer Fest, Dave considers barnstorming Hunapuh Day in Tampa, and Bearcat waxes philosophic about the ephemeral nature of short lived beers and sourcing the local culture into beer.
What were we drinking:
Dave: Saison Dupont, Bourbon County Bourbon Stout (2016) by Goose Island Beer Company
Ed: Tired Hands + Omnipollo Pineapple Milkshake, Florida Ave IPA, Mega Mix IPA
Bearcat: It’s Complicated Being a Wizard by Burlington Beer Co., HopSlam Bell’s Brewing and Nugget Nectar by Troegs Independent Brewing
