The Show Goes SOUR during the Stout Hunt

It's a special night on the World's Top 10 Beers Podcast. Old Nation's M-43 was rated on the Slooijer Scale as "This Might Be Magic." That means the beer earned its chance to take on the World's Top 10 Beers list. Bob & Doug evaluated M-43 as a match to take on #8 New Belgium's "Abbey" and take it from there. Beat Abbey and it goes up to take on #7. Lose to Abbey and it will have to take on #9. Will M-43 WIN TO GET IN?  Good Luck to Old Nation Brewing!
