This week on Business Over Beer, "The Professor" Ethan Edwards, Certified Cicerone from Ben's Bottle Shop stops by the second biggest podcast in the Pacific Northwest. Ethan proves that even for us avid beer guys there is still so much to learn about beer and about drinking beer. 

Also, this is the first episode of our new partnership with Ben's Bottle Shop who is sponsoring the Angie's Mystery Beer segment of our program. We are so excited that this gets to be the first episode of the sponsorship because Ben's truly has been a home base for us and we recorded this episode before any of the sponsorship talks. We really do love to hang out at Ben's and if you find yourself in Vancouver, we know you will too. Check out below for a special discount from Ben's for our listeners.  

Guest Beer:

J.W. Lees - Manchester, UK

Harvest Ale, Barleywine, 11.5% ABV

2002 Vintage

2015 Vintage

"Our limited edition vintage barley wine is made but once a year. It's brewed with the first hops to be harvested, and then we add the very finest British malt. Each vintage brings different flavours, which then evolve as they age, so it's no wonder it's gained a cult following among ale enthusiasts. Pop the date in your calendar."
