The Bottleopeners

2. To Helles and Back


Listen Later

The science of shotgunning a can of beer and what Rory witnessed when John didn’t get it right, how Helles lager got its name, plus the fictional beverage that appears across US hit TV shows vs the one we all know from The Simpsons. It’s all here in the second episode, starting with a few minutes of John checking in from his car while he waits to see if his dog has mauled the groomer. Then usual audio quality is resumed as we enjoy another Dungeons and Dregs (this time in a science fiction setting) and then let’s dive into a bit of beer history along with this episode’s tasting - if you want to taste along, prepare yourself a glass of Helles lager in time for the second half.
