Beer podcasts should be a mix of informative, entertaining and relatable - Dave manages to hit all three. His research and connections are informative, hit style is light and entertaining, and he expresses himself in a way that we can relate to. Give it a listen!
I just discovered this podcast, and I am already a big fan! Dave's brings an "everyman's" approach to his discussion of beer, but you can tell he has a deep knowledge of the subject. His smooth, comfortable delivery is both contemplative and meditative. I also enjoy the news and notes that he includes, as well as his specific knowledge of the Chicago/midwest beer scene. Kudos, Dave! Keep putting thos beers in front of you!
Dave love your voice and your beer can open sound effect! I do not miss the Chicago cold :)

Sierra Nevada I’m gonna have to look out for!
