Prose and Bros

S2: E12 Mariachi 10 and "The Titanic"


Listen Later

As all things must begin so must they end, and the Bros end bad beer month with what may be the worst beer of all time. Forcing themselves to sit through Brouwerij Martens' Mariachi 10 lager, we'll learn how this  disavowed beer technically came to be, though it's hard to prove since Brouwerij Martens' does not officially acknowledge the brew. Paired with this truly awful beer is a truly awful poem "The Titanic" by "The Beast 666" Aleister Crowley. We'll explore Crowley as a poet, not a magician, including his famed feud with Prose and Bros alumnus William Butler Yeats, his misadventures in the east, and much more to deconstruct the mystique of one of history's most mysterious men. Enjoy the episode, even as we don't enjoy the beer and poetry.

Cheers!
