Episode 100 - Holiday Party 2015

For the big 100, we threw a little holiday party and invited our friends - and to our delight, they came bearing gifts of beer! On the show, we drink with them and give our usual reviews while catching up with them and taking many topical detours. Joining us are Kim Leshinski (Hail to the Ale), Ken Getty (from CHAOS Homebrew Club), Nick Burica (of Middle Brow Beer Co.), Chris Betts (of Transient Artisan Ales), Marie Cummins (Down the Hatch beer blog), Dennis Lee (of The Pizzle), MC Johnsen (Worth 1000 Beers) and Matt Johnsen (of Horse Thief Hollow and The Beer Cellar). In addition to thrilling excerpts from Secret Agent Santa (Harlequin 2015), we talk about kettle sours, sensuous languor, the troubles with opening a brewery, fingerless gloves, and much more. Thanks for listening and happy holidays!   Beers Reviewed:   Kane Brewing - Cortijo (Agave Nectar Saison Aged in Tequila Barrels) OEC Brewing - Malefactus (Wine Barrel-Aged Stout) Transient Artisan Ales - Black Raspberry Maigre (Berlinner Weisse) Lake Effect Brewing - Imperial Stout (Bourbon Barrel-Aged) BrainDead Brewing - Bent De Garde (Wine Barrel-Aged Biere de Garde) de Garde Brewing - L’Hiver Melange No. 2
