Episode 490 - Hawkeye Homecoming

Ryan's a University of Iowa graduate, and in the 15 years since his last visit, a few breweries have popped up and thrived in the area. After a weekend with the family in Iowa City, Ryan brought back five beers from the area to talk about what's been happening with beer in the decade-and-a-half since. Also, Craig's aghast to share Tom Emanski with an uninterested party, we're both a bit confused over TMNT villains, and Ryan's not mad about the algorithm figuring out he likes Mortal Kombat videos. We hope you like nostalgia with your beer reviews, this week.  Beers Reviewed Big Grove Brewery - Tailwind (Golden Ale) ReUnion Brewery & John's Grocery - Thrilla in Amarilla (Hoppy Wheat) Backpocket Brewing - Slingshot (Dunkel) Lion Bridge Brewing Company - Compensation (English-Style Mild) Iowa Brewing Co. - Cookie Oja (Baltic Porter w/ chocolate sandwich cookies)
