Sometimes the beer in front of you is the best one yet. I'll talk about some old school beers that maybe you've forgotten about. Some new beers that have the potential to be a classic. I'll also talk to various people around the beer world and get their stories all about beer.

This week, I have my annual Shower Beer and this year I’m having Shiny Math Rocks from Pipeworks Brewing in Chicago. I’ll also have Big Wave from Kona Brewing and I’ll tell you my Maui story.

Good show this week. I talked to Joe Churo and James Bigler over at Go Brewing, the 1st Non-Alcoholic Craft Brewery in the state of Illinois. I also tried a few of their beers and can vouch for them, they were really good! Plus, you get to hear an cloned AI version of my voice in the intro and outro. They removed my Chicago accent and call it Jaygoff! All this and more!

Go Brewing!
