🍻 Beerducation
Wencee reviewed Slow Lane Brewing's "Check in the Dark - Czech Dark Lager." Will this dark beer Czech all the boxes? We'll find out if it's a 'pint-sational' experience or just another 'hop-less' attempt. Wencee rated it 84 out of 100 Blurtstars.
The Kegsta reviewed Behemoth's "Chur IPA." With a name like Chur, we're expecting a brew that's totally 'behemoth' in flavour. Will it be a 'hop-tastic' delight or a 'keg-endary' disappointment? The only way to find out is to tune in! The Kegsta rated it 78 out of 100 Blurtstars.
🏆 Great People That Did Stuff
The Kegsta will be "Radical," and we're not talking about his beer choice! He chats about the story of Sergio Juárez Correa, a Mexican teacher who transformed a neglected school with his unconventional teaching methods and, in the process, discovered some amazing students. The movie “Radical” is available on Stan, link below.
Wencee will chat about Tim Friede, a man who, quite literally, put his life on the line. By injecting himself with venom from some of the world's deadliest snakes, he's paved the way for a universal antivenom that could save countless lives. He's not just doing good stuff, he's doing 'venom-ous-ly' good stuff for all of us.
