Ep. 15: The Beer in Review

In episode 15, Ed Grohl, Easy Pretzel, and Bearcat welcome back “friend of the show” Jeff Kupko, to do our year-end review of some of our favorite beers from 2017. We also took the time to discuss trends we would like to see end, strategy when playing the board game Risk and which of us is the Wilt Chamberlain of Untappd.

We went really long so no After Show this week.
