Listener Sean Grogan sent a huge box full of enough beer for 2 shows. First up are 5 beers from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, which somehow sent Rubio into a mean, somewhat surreal drunk. This one got a touch raunchy.

Tis the season for Christmas and holiday beers. Santa’s brought us 5 of them this time, but are they what we asked for, or lumps of coal?
