On this episode we drink Paperback Brewing's Everyday Zombies West Coast IPA.  It's a West Coast IPA with enough hop flavor to wake the dead.
For the second half we imbibed on Aborigen's Clandestino Tinto red blend wine from Baja California, Mexico.   The wine is a syrah adn grenache blend with notes of currants, medium jammy-ness, and dried herbs and pepper.  This was a very fruit forward wine and quite enjoyable.  

Today we finish up our conversation of Bad Sisters following the series finale.  Did you watch?  Did you enjoy it as much as we did?  Tell us your thoughts!  
And finally, we wax on about Halloween and its associated miscellanea like trick or treating, candy, scary movies, and costumes.  Hope you enjoy!
