Overview
Episodes

Details

Beer gurus Augie Carton (Carton Brewing) and John Holl (author of Drink Beer, Think Beer: Getting to the Bottom of Every Pint) get to the bottom of the day’s most pressing craft beer issues with help from opinionated brewer friends, know-it-all barkeeps, and smarmy industry insiders. For each episode, Augie and John will blind-taste and dissect two beers on air (provided by that episode’s guest) while discussing current beer topics, news, and styles.
