Episode 7 – The Blind Leading the Blind
This week, we each poured two mystery beers for the rest of us to ‘blind’ taste. None of us knew what the others brought over for this mad experiment. The results made for a hugely surprising, fun show.
Oh, and I’m not posting the beers we drank on the show this week, or the quazi-rankings we rattled off. You’ll just have to go into it as blind as we were.
The Beerists are: John Rubio, Anastacia Kelly, and Grant Davis. With Mike Lambert.
