About this podcast
We are 3 friends that started off as beer enthusiasts. Through our love for beer a podcast was created. After some time we became gainfully employed in the beer industry and our time did not allow for us to record on a normal basis.
Now, many years later we believe it’s a good time to revive this old podcast because our opinions and views of the beer industry have greatly changed over time. We are older, somewhat wiser, a good deal angrier and did we mention older?
