The Afterparty Podcast /w Strip Club Concierge Las Vegas! show

Summary: The Chicago Tribune's Josh Noel sits in for Alison Cuddy this week as we interview Ray Daniels, the creator of the Cicerone beer serving certification program and original gangster of craft beer. We find out if Daniels anticipated that less than a decade after launching, his program would be the worldwide gold standard for beer knowledge. We also discuss the Small BREW Act versus the Fair BEER Act and other beer-related legislation currently pending. We drink Can-Can red wine barrel aged quadruple from Westbrook Brewing Co. We recommend Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter IPA and Sketchbook Brewing Et Tu Saison. We also reference this article Josh wrote about the Cicerone program in 2010: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-07-11/lifestyles/ct-sun-0711-cicerone-20100711_1_craft-beer-beer-lovers-beer-service
