  • Bring back Michael to mediate

    Bit worried about the format wars that’s developing between Steven and Alex, it’s horrible when your parents fight. Nonetheless, this is the only beer podcast you need, assuming you have that need.

    I sent Alex some uk non alcohol beers but I don’t think they got there as I may have misdeclqred them - oops and sorry

    I’m updating my review from 2018 when I first started listening. I quit drinking a year ago and was loving the NA DDB stuff. I felt inclined to update my review after Stephen’s horrible take about nose blowing. There is no correct way to do that. #doublebarrelgang

  • Humble - - - Heron

    My last review didn’t post because of the - - -. I thought this was America.

    The DDB “Stephen & Friends” Podcast will have you singing dithyrambic chorus to the Humble - - - Heron; the true beer embodiment of Dionysus in avian form (or is it just an Italian Grape Ale? Close enough).

    All should listen to the words of DDB and reject the beer-denying hyperbole of 450 North and their heretical fruit syrup (In the timeless words of Diogenes: “Behold, a fruit lambic!”)
