This episode we speak with a brewer who is truly symmetrical with his balance of hops and malts. Next, while a$$holes are hoarding TP we become renegades and fill our carts with some of the best ingredients at a brewing supply shop. Finally, in a world where you thought there were too many craft breweries along comes some brew folk in a cowboy town who are keeping the beer tradition from becoming a dying breed. That, and our usual craic in this episode of Life in 16 oz.
