Full Pours

For this week’s episode, we were onsite at the Blind Rhino in Norwalk, CT for our first ever live episode as we covered the 2018 Connecticut Blind Beer Awards, hosted by our good friend Ken Tuccio. Max Finnance, Nicki Vinci and Erik Ofgang join Pat as the panel of expert judges for the event. Follow along for their thoughts on the beers, good discussions, and random guests leading up to the awards ceremony as the winners are crowned. If you missed out on the event yourself, don't miss this episode

And to wrap it all up, we have a guest One for the Road this week.

In this episode, we mix up the format and are joined in studio by Ken Tuccio as a guest host. We talk about beers we are drinking, events we've attended, some current things in the news and tell a whole bunch of random stories along the way. Ken even decided it would be fun to make us drink Natty Ice on the air, so in retaliation we put him on the spot for this week's One for the Road.

In this episode, Pat sits down with Austin Japs, head brewer of Five Churches Brewing in New Britain, CT.

In this episode, we mix it up a bit while we get back to our roots.  We talk about a few of the current trends out there as well as get into a little bit of brewing technique.  Joe has One for the Road for you and all throughout the episode we banter, mainly because we like to banter.
