This amber was brewed with toasted malt and Himalayan salt giving you a toasted pretzel flavor. We got to have a sample of this during our beer tasting at WWT in Saint Louis. It was really tasty and really did taste like a pretzel. Only 5% ABV, too, so you can have more than one with your tofudog. <a href="https://untappd.com/b/o-fallon-brewery-barrels-salted-pretzel/2977506" target="_blank">https://untappd.com/b/o-fallon-brewery-barrels-salted-pretzel/2977506</a> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> <a href="https://twit.tv/people/leo-laporte">Leo Laporte</a>, <a href="https://twit.tv/people/mary-jo-foley">Mary Jo Foley</a>, and <a href="https://twit.tv/people/paul-thurrott">Paul Thurrott</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> <a href="http://twitter.com/richcampbell" target="_blank">Richard Campbell</a></p> <p>Download or subscribe to this show at <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly">https://twit.tv/shows/windows-weekly</a></p> <p>Check out Paul's blog at <a href="https://www.thurrott.com/" target="_blank">thurrott.com</a></p> <p>Check out Mary Jo's blog at <a href="http://allaboutmicrosoft.com/" target="_blank">AllAboutMicrosoft.com</a></p> <p>The Windows Weekly theme music is courtesy of <a href="https://twitter.com/carlfranklin" target="_blank">Carl Franklin</a>.</p> <p><strong>Sponsor:</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://twit.cachefly.com">twit.cachefly.com</a></li> </ul>
