Beers and Laughs Podcast

The bracket is set, news was broke, prizes revealed, free raffle ticket ideas and more.  Brace yourself.

Eddie jumps in the co-host seat as we record live in a liquor store.

We talked to random people, chatted with Bob and Rob from @Massbrewbros and promoted the greatest beer event ever, 3.16.19.

Dorchester brewing let us into their tap room and run amuck, we had comedians stop by and drank all their beers!

Beers, Christmas, Jokes, Laugh, Beers and more beers... whats better?

We are back for our holiday annual party! We had a lot of beers through the day so these podcasts get a little out of hand.  We had over 8 different beers this day, including shots of whiskey during the 1pm football game.  As always, I can't describe these episodes, just listen to the madness.

Well if the entire place was rented would not a sign be up advising potential customers that you can purchase anything to go.  Very rude about telling me that it is a private GE party. Won't be returning or would advise anyone else to feel disrespected.
