  • CBR Review

    I've been a listener for over a decade now & have never tired of this show, including the pre & post show episodes. Always remaining fresh & relevant to the evolving craft beer industry giving their thoughs & reviews of the latest, greatest, & not, that craft beer can offer. Nothing pretentious, always funny from a couple of ordinary guys sharing their love of craft beer.

    Check them out, highly recommended.

  • PLEASE CHANGE HOW YOU MIKE UP!!!

    The content of the podcast is great, the guys know their stuff, they stay on topic, etc.. But, I can't take the sound of them gulping into the mic . . . you can hear every sniff, gulp, mouth gurgle, throat gurgle, etc. . . I can gut a deer no problem . . but I can't listen to them gulping beer, it's digusting. C'mon guys!
