In this episode, the podcasters discuss one of their favorite styles of beer - brown ales! After reviewing the history, Alex and Will sample Newcastle Brown Ale and Smuttynose Old Brown Dog. Other topics include whether bars should cater their glassware to the specific styles of beer being served, the tragic wild fire in Fort McMurray and how Labatt is stepping up to help, and some news from Dogfish Head. Alex also ponders whether or not he may be Beerstradamus. Music is 'Son of an American' by The So So Glos. Thanks for listening and cheers!
