The Beer Report

Edit free show…  Added some them music and closing can pop… But we rushed this one for Craft Beer Week 2013.  Who says we can’t bust out a show on short notice? Enjoy… Unless your Jim Koch…  Head of Sam Adams.  Then you will probably think we are A-Holes for not knowing your name and making fun of your commercials! Beers on the show donated by Superfan Radd and Kevin M (http://harvestcafedelavan.com/) Direct Link:    

Kevin Myszkowski (Yeah, I had to copy and paste that) from The Harvest Cafe in Delavan rolled out the red carpet after asking us to do a show from the adjoining Wine shop, Hometown Wine & Spirits. Ashley “Bird” Burdette (Hometown Manager) joins us to give us a brief education on Wine during the show as well. Surprisingly good sound from the Groucho’s travel set-up. Sorry Groucho is over-modulated initially… Dont worry… I over-modulated Kevin and CHUD later in the show. We do ring this show up to 85 Minutes… Sorry! We were having too much fun and there is not a lot of waste here. Kevin is like a top… Wind him up, and let him go!
