"Part 2 of our Central Illinois beer show, plus we hear about FOBAB winning Holy Moly, and raise our glasses for our traditional Christmas toast. Finally, we play the Pub's rendition of The Night Before Christmas which we hope will bring the spirit of the season to the entire family. We will see you again after the holidays, so until then Happy Holidays and Cheers!"

"We have a different episode this week where we visit the Naperville Red Arrow Taproom, and learn about self-serve craft beer. Owner and founder Joe Tota is our host and with my co-host, Ken McMullen, we learn about how it all works and how they embrace independence and support local brweries. Candied bacon strips make a welcome appearance and a great pairing for our samples, while we chat about craft beer topics and trends. If you haven't been to one of their two locations, you need to try it out!"
