I’m not sure who thought it would be a good idea to taste five huge beers, or why we decided to start with three above 11%, but that might explain the hostility and murder talk.

Listener Andy Godish brought us 5 beers to taste completely blind in this ultra caj episode. It’s so super caj, that at some point, I think we even forget we’re recording a show.

Last year, we had our first taste of TRVE in Denver and immediately fell in love. The only problem was that the only way we could feature them on an episode was to record it at the brewery. So we did. And it was METAL.
