All the Pumpkin Beers

We sample beers that Dustin picked up on clearance (I'm sure you can guess how they taste). We also drink the greatest beverage known to mankind. Then there is a discussion on aluminum cups and we Randall a white stout (not white, though) with Oreos. Check out our podcasting host, Pinecast.

Pilsners Are Lagers

Sponsors: Kopacetic Beer Factory Guests: Kevin Boyd (West Fork Whiskey) & Damon Banks (Dustin's Friend) We posted the invitation to join us and we had two people RSVP. As usual, Kevin Boyd brought the best of the best beers and West Fork Whiskey’s newest product Old Hamer. Damon picked a hell of a show to jump in on. We assume his mind and palate were blown by the beers and spirits we sampled. It’s two-hours of fun nonsense, exactly as we planned it.
