Let's not prolong this, We talk about mead.

For The Craft

You Talkin' to Mead?

This episode we drop some knowledge on the local scene. Or rumors, or spicy takes. It's really all just up for grabs right now in the local beer scene. Lots of noise, lots of movement, but is there legitimate, substantial growth? These two morons speculate on beer while drinking beer. WHAT A CONCEPT!

Hard Hitting Local News

Dan and Dave, two episodes in two weeks?! What the hell guys!? Are you trying to give us expectations of regular content only to disappoint us again? Yep! This week, FTC does the hard-hitting investigative journalism you never asked us to do. We hit up RELEVANT TOPICS about the beer industry and give you our SPICY TAKES on it all. Can you believe it? The nerve of these guys, right? We wanted to post this one ASAP because it's one of our least "evergreen" episodes, and listening to it 6 months from now may not make any sense. For example, we recorded this before the Boston Beer/Dogfish Head merger, so nothing in this episode about that.. Live comes at you fast.

Hard Hitting National News

Just when you thought Game of Thrones had a long hiatus between seasons... Are you reading any more at this point? Great! Dan and Dave catch up on life, beer, and where things have gone wrong in their lives. This is the first of seven releases in this chapter of the podcast, releasing Monday mornings, just in time for your commute, or ritual sacrifices, whichever you do first in the week. Also, Dan does a BLIND BEER TASTING!!
