Great show and you and Margaret are a great team, which adds to the show. What about – “Beers for you”? Have a great week. 32 days and we’ll be back in the US (from Moscow).
The beer caps fly way better when they aren’t bent! I want one of those openers.
Great show. Never heard of a Wee Heavy.
“Rating our Favorite beers for you” is my catch line for now.
I wish I could rate you on Itunes but I ain’t going near that place again. I could prolly put you over the top of the hops so maybe I’ll try again soon.
I’m guessing you might have been calling me out for the Scotty Karate thing…
Story is that at a tasting at Brasserie Jo in Chicago, I came up to the Dark Horse table to ask for a pour, and I realized the guy pouring looked oddly familiar, and it occurred to me that the guy on the Scotty Karate label could be a caricature of the guy in front of me.
So I asked, “Are you Scotty Karate?”
He answered, “Yeah. You got any weed?”
Had to disappoint the guy, but at least I got a laugh out of it, and the beer.
