Beer Mistress Microbrew Review

This week the gang each gets a beer selected just for them! The Beer Mistress has BarBar a Belgian ale brewed with honey, the Professor has Barrel Aged Narwhal, and Jasen goes for Pizza Boy Simcoe Samurye. The combination as boisterous as the stories about Ian’s 30th birthday bash in a blizzard!

The build up has been epic, but this week the Beer Mistress and Cousin Max join the Professor for his big THREE - ZERO! The gang makes old man jokes, and recalls past years when breaking open the traditional Dogfish 120. Also enjoyed are: Surly Brewing Company's Eight Ale, Boulevard Brewing's 2014 Imperial Stout Aged in Whiskey Barrels, and DuClaw Devil's Due. Thanks to our listeners for coming along on this milestone celebration - hopefully we'll be around for his 40th too.

The Beer Mistress, Ian, and Jasen come face-to-face with the reality of their 2014 New Year's Resolutions while setting new goals for 2015 (worry not- more trivia is NOT one of their resolutions).

The crew drinks Delirium Noel, 2011 Mad Elf, 2012 Mad Elf, Rude Elf’s Reserve and St. Bernardus Christmas, and Great Lakes Christmas Ale.
