Pub Quizzes Must Die

Has this ever happened to you? You’re enjoying a nice beer in a taproom and then a bunch of weird people that don’t look like your regular beer geeks, start gathering around. And then someone asks you to move because they need this table for a… PUB QUIZ!

This week we take on bingo and pub quizzes in taprooms and how annoying they can be. Plus a lot of other fun beer things. Please give us a listen! And Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!

Daylight Beer Savings Time


Yeah, it sucks when we lose an hour of drinking. But let’s think about the positive: more daylight drinking.

Some thoughts we work out this week on our beer show:

  • Drinking in the gloaming hour.
  • Dad bod beer garden.
  • Self Pour beer system sadness.
  • Old beer on the shelf is a problem.
  • B Corp Certified beer.
  • Stacey’s Industry Corner.
  • A new Sierra Nevada variety pack is heavy-duty.
  • Four years for Core4.

All this and more. Thank you for listening!
