Thunk Tank Podcast

While we absolutely love our craft beers over here at Thunk Tank Podcast, we're certainly not adverse to other fine genres of booze. Enter the cocktail and explore the delicate art of mixology with our very special guest this week, Kevin, who teaches classes on how to craft the classiest of specialty drinks. From martinis to manhantans, and many more, we dive deep into the tank on this episode in order to learn exactly what level of heart and spirit(s) goes into making a truly delicious cocktail of your dreams!

"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.'" We couldn't agree more, Mr. Vonnegut! As such, why not crack a beer and join us in episode 10 - Kurt Vonnegut! In this first of many double digit episodes to come we discuss the late, great dark satirist author of the 20th century, none other than Kurt Vonnegut. Featuring plenty of classic quotes, literary discussion, and of course great beer, dive into the tank with us and explore the wonderfully thoughtful mind of one of modern history's most cutting and cunning social commentators.

Also, check out our eclectic brew lineup, inspired by Kurt Vonnegut (How so, you might ask? Listen to find out!):

The good news? We made it through 2017! The bad, well, we drank all the beer. But no worries! 2018 is almost here, and as such, there's plenty to be proud of and look forward to in the coming year. What reflections should we meditate on? What changes can we make within both ourselves and in society? What beers should we crack come January 1st? Explore these questions - and hopefully answers - in our end of year episode, "2017 Year in Review". 

Lastly, please check us out on our other platforms! Thank you all so much for a fantastic 2017 - we couldn't do this without all of your support, and we can't wait to continue bringing you great beer, cheer, and thunking in 2018. Happy New Year to all, and to all a good drink!
