This week is a very action-packed episode. We give you some tips and tricks on how to properly taste a beer. John talks about a great new place for BBQ in central Texas and the very sad loss of Phil Rosenthal's father Max. Nick finds some fridge treasures while finishing up his remodel. We also discuss the importance of a very overlooked ingredient in beer, water.  As always we talk about interesting beers from the last week, some good stories, and at least one dad joke. Thank y’all so much for listening.
