SB’s own Robert Merryman discusses his upcoming trip to the Pianetta Birra fest in Rimini, and Brewfist’s Pietro di Pilato admits Brother Dan is the guru of Italian brewing.

Mark Roessler, Managing Editor for the Valley Advocate in Northampton, is called in for a grilling after publishing an article suggesting American beer trumps that of Europe!

The SBs get Prairie Artisanal Ales brewer Chase Healey on the phone and badger him with questions about noodling, Oklahoma tourism, corn palaces, and even beer.

After reading yet another annoying beer industry editorial, the boys ring up Greg Engert, of Washington DC’s Churchkey, to rant on every aspect of the business.

The Bros welcome Robert Merryman-importer, Spanish craft beer insider, and master porn-dubber- to the company as their Mediterranean specialist and media guru.

Dan and SB lackey Kevin share the dark secrets of Belgian breweries Orval, Vapeur, and Cantillon with Tom Peters of Monk's Café in Philadelphia.

The Brothers pay a harassing phone call to Jolly Pumpkin’s Ron Jeffries, then turn on Spuyten Duyvel’s Joe Carroll about his drink prices even as they consume complimentary beer and skin-fermented draft wine.

Leaving their recent earthly troubles behind, the Bros launch into a round-the-world holiday warp-speed beer-orbit with colleague (and former Space Camper) Christian and his alien girlfriend Jordan.

A “podunk” southern grocery chain finds itself embroiled in the Westvleteren brouhaha, and the boys check in with Heather Blisard, cicerone at the Birminghom, Alabama Piggly Wiggly.

Nationwide bedlam has ensued as a result of the infamous US release of Westvleteren 12, (the world’s “best beer”) and the Sheltons are forced to place an emergency call to the monks.
