Episode 63 - Best Beers of 2016

Episode 63 finishes off 2016 with our Top 10 Beers of the year.  We also get Top 5 lists from a few of our listeners around the country listing a bunch of great beers urging us to do a road trip. We briefly discuss an article about five cliches people need to stop using as well as an article reviewing the 2016 craft beer year in review.  We encourage you to participate in our listener tasting notes segment in this episode by picking up a bottle of the Full Sail Brewing Wassail winter warmer and tasting along with us.
