I mean seriously sh*t got strange…so strange KMac & Yek need to get some odd ball style beers just to cope with all the crazy that is 1976 Doctor Strange. As our inaugural Strange Brews episode, we had to choose the wackiest Sorcerer Supreme series we know of. You know the one where Ben Franklin total bangs Clea on a boat with his bifocals on!

Stgyro is a man faced sea serpent in Old Atlantis, where’s the New one? I got faith Doc can handle all that’s going on….Ahem, Ben Franklin is totally droppin his electricity line on Clea, there goes the light, there’s the spark, we have Poor Dick’s almanac... “Englehart!!!!, get into my office right now,” snarls Marv Wolfman.  Issue #19 (July 1976): “Hi, I’m Marv Wolfman, EOC of Marvel, please ignore all that founding father bangin’ a sorceress from a demon dimension stuff. Look here’s a new He-Man crossover villain, Xander the Great…F’ you, Englehart.”Beers:KMAC:ZFG, Hidden Springs Ale Works, Tampa, FLStyle: Pale Ale, 5.5% ABV, 0 IBURating: This beer tases like the Zero F*cks Given by Ben Franklin & Steve Englehart! Yek: BEE, Center of the Universe Brewing Company, Ashland, VAStyle: Orange Blossom Honey, 7.2% ABV, 8 IBURating: This beer is like finding the lost chapters of a pork product named philosopher’s anti-establishment work. Hit us up at Email: [email protected], Twitter: @CBCO_Podcast, or Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comicbooks_coldones/
