Episode 8 - Freshness Matters

Episode 8 of Tap the Craft focuses on beer freshness.  Learn about oxidation and “skunked” beer and how to prevent these conditions from ruining your craft beer drinking experience.  We also discuss the news of 10 Barrel Brewing being bought by big beer company Anheuser-Busch InBev.   Prepare for Ep9 listener participation tasting notes with the North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout...so grab a bottle or two!  Check out Ep76 of the @PlatformJunkies podcast where we guest host and talk more about craft beer.
