This week Ginny and Charlie had plenty to talk about since they did something five nights in a row. Color me Drunk, Avengers Age of Ultron, Free Comic Book Day, a blind IPA tasting, and happy hour in downtown Cincinnati. They discuss how to use twitter as a news source and then try a beer with a 9,000 year old recipe from Dogfish Head. All that and a new song from Ivy Levan. Cheers! 

This week Charlie surveys both a bachelor party and a party full of Ginny's coworkers. They complete an epic neighborhood pub run and still manage to make it into Myrtle's Punch House for a quick drink. A discussion of "Strong Female Characters" followed by a strong yet feminine beer and song by a strong and sexy female artist, just to keep with the theme.

Ginny and Charlie are back to normal this week, which of course means lots of stories about food, drinking, and adventure in Cincinnati. They stop by Django Taco, Littlefields, Lookout Joe, Cloud 9 Sushi, Igby’s, Palm Court and Taft's Ale House then take a break to listen to Charlie talk about what it was really like owning and working in comic books stores. They end with a classic cocktail, the Rob Roy and some great new music.

This week it is a tale of drinking ecstasy in the Windy City. Ginny and Charlie share all the stories of their recent trip to Chicago, including WhiskyFest, the best beer Charlie’s ever had, and cocktails that are a work of art. All that and they manage to go to a museum also.
