This week we have two amazing guests! We have Ann Gillon from Supernatural Cafe, and  Brit Mo from and the band Pardon Me, Devil. They are a kick ass metal/punk band who recently released their album Reverence. You can buy the album at www.cdbaby.com. They both also work at Dr Jeckyll's Beer Lab, a local Arlington bar that serves excellent craft beer and holds insanely fun trivia nights on Mondays. We discussed everything from bartending to pumping gas. All in all an adventurous podcast.

We did a thing and Rohde hosted a challenge. See if you can get the cartoon intros before we do!!

We're starting the new year off right! We all share our new year eve shenanigans, or what we recall from them. David updates us on how the brewery is going. TKO Libations gets a visit from some of the show members, and we regale you with tales from Division Brewings 2nd anniversary. So sit back, grab a drink and lets toast to a great 2018!

Home brewers unite! This week we were joined by beer blogger, beer judge, certified Cicerone, and Home brewer Robert Scroggs of Brewing Matters. We went through a typical home brew club meeting with the Cap and Hares (Fort Worth), tasted and reviewed a homebrewed IPA from New Main superfan Ron G., and talked about why Rohde’s “certification” is about as rare as Bud Light at a Buffalo Wild Wings. If getting Casually Lit is cool, consider us Miles Davis.

Ever meet someone at a taproom that you just connect with over craft beer? This week we're joined by Dirk Hryekewicz from the Grand Prairie Mavericks rugby team, who we met just recently at a brewery.We chat about camaraderie, teamsmanship, drinkeration, and just plain tackling the sh!t outta someone. You don't need pads and helmets to get Casually Lit.

What happens when hard working people are passionate about sharing their love of craft beer? On Tap Arlington, that's what. We sat down with founder Drew Campbell to talk about what they've done this past year to contribute to the foundation of the Arlington craft beer scene. We explored what craft culture looks like from the other side of the bar, how key people continue to make North Texas one of the most dynamic markets in the country, and we hinted at the earth-shattering lineup Drew has in store for his upcoming 1 year anniversary on January 27 & 28. It is a damn good day when the conversation is deep, the beer is great, and the people are Casually Lit.

THE Michael Harper joins us finally, lays down some mad sound bytes (suck it Rohde), David shares the latest updates with New Main, Michael shares TWO versions of the beer he and David brewed together, we reminisced of the early days of our craft beer bromance, Michael Harper, Michael Harper, had some delish Troegs beer, and then Michael Harper loses an article of clothing. All in all, it was a Casually Lit night.
