Episode 53 - Topic Roulette

It’s Episode 53, our first show of our third year and we bring you a few news articles covering a wide gamut of topics such as some questions brewer’s wish you would ask, four must try saisons this summer, more craft beer takeovers and a new beer historian job opening at the Smithsonian.  We encourage you to participate in our listener tasting notes segment in the next episode by picking up a bottle of the Ballast Point California Kolsch and tasting along with us.
