Episode 215 - Yazoo: Embrace the Funk

Our hearts are wide open and ready to embrace the funk, but will it embrace us back? Yazoo Brewing out of Nashville, Tennessee has been brewing since 2003, but their obsession with making complex sour works of art started in 2012. We have four beers from Yazoo's funky side thanks to listener Matt Milam, and we can't help but wonder why they haven't taken over the world yet. We also are very confused about this year's Pitchfork lineup and the sudden soaking swell of Wet Daves. Oh...hold on. BRB. Craig's back from his Taco Bell run.
