Episode 012 – Viewer’s Recommended Brews

johnnyb — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:14:00 +0000

In this week’s episode we take some suggestions from our viewers. All of you have been recommending beers to us and we answered the call and tried some. Although some of the suggestions were seasonal and unavailable to us at the moment, we went with the appropriate beers for the summer season from the breweries suggested.

Most notable of these was the Victory Prima Pils recommended by Arkhamresident. We also sample Harpoon Summer Beer and Rogue’s American Amber Ale. Compared to last week, all of these beers were great but some left us unimpressed. Enjoy the show and enjoy some beer!
