All We Are Are Just Ales In The End

Another cautionary beer tail this week as one of us doesn’t take his own advice and buys some un-dated IPAs from a certain place; it could only end badly.

Also, will anyone make a beer-flavored seltzer?

Did you know that beer is NOT a good hydrator?  Yeah, well, a listener found out the hard way.

And Sierra Nevada is pulling back production on a classic beer.

This and a lot more when you listen to episode 415!
