Bookkeeper Bradford Batten stops by the podcast this week to discuss his passions, which includes a rugby history lesson and advice on overcoming the fear of public speaking

Guest Beer:

Corona Extra - Mexico, 4.6% ABV

"With a refreshing, smooth taste balanced between heavier European imports and lighter domestic beer, Corona is an even-keeled cerveza with fruity-honey aromas and a touch of malt. The flavor is crisp, clean and well balanced between hops and malt, a superior taste profile from superior ingredients." Um......

Angie's Mystery Beer:

Sick-N-Twisted Brewing Co. - Hill City, SD

Naughty Redhead Imperial Red Ale, 8% ABV, 43 IBU

"Righteous hops and cherry aromas tell you this is not your ordinary red ale. A sexy complexion with sweet buttery malts and spicy hops make this exotic brew the perfect union of awesomeness in your mouth."

Bonus Beer:

Lewis and Clark Brewing Co. - Helena, MT

Tumbleweed IPA, 7.7% ABV, 68 IBU

"A TWO-TIME GOLD MEDAL WINNER at the Great American Beer Festival (2001,2014). This is Montana’s Most Award Winning IPA! It’s amber color and incredible hoppy aroma (plenty of Cascade & Centennial hops) along with a strong malt backbone using Montana gown and malted barley work together to create an incredibly well balanced IPA."

September 23, 2019 - The Business Over Beer Journey officially commences with our pilot episode recorded live from Ben's Bottle Shop in Vancouver Washington.  

Angela Surratt, namesake of the "Angie's Mystery Beer" segment on Business Over Beer and patron saint of all things family friendly, joins us to discuss her company, My Family Guide.  

Our apologies to Angie and to our listening audience, we had some audio trouble with the guest mic, which was full of static for the first half of the episode and went out completely in the second half so all we had was the ambient audio from the speaker in the room. Something is bound to go a little sideways when recording Live, right? Thankfully, the hosts all sound great, even Knopp surprisingly.  

Guest Beer / Angie's Mystery Beer - they're one in the same when Angie herself stops by as the guest:

Browar Fortuna, Poland

Komes Russian Imperial Stout - 12% ABV

"A strong, aromatic and complex dark, top fermenting beer matured for 6 months. It is especially appreciated by beer lovers all over the world. The distinct roasted note, typical of the style, comes from roasted barley. The notes of coffee, chocolate and prunes are counter-balanced with a distinct bitterness. A small amount of rye malt boosts the beer's richness and velvety texture. The RIS has an intense flavour and aroma attributed to aromatic Ukrainian varieties of hops(Klonand Slovianka). Despite the beverage's considerable strength, the alcohol is not aggressive but rather - pleasantly warming."
