We also read through 5 new listener reviews (thanks everyone!), includi...

It's time for a new episode of GBNTB! We've made it one month into 2021 but we are still recording remotely until it is safe to get together face to face.

Then, we talk a little ab...

We did it!! We have made it through 2020 and we've made it one full year here at Good But Not the Best! Thank you for listening and we are on to a brighter year in 2021. We are still recording remotely due to the COVID numbers but are hopeful we can get back to recording together again once the spring brings back some warmer weather. We begin this episode with Andrew sharing some exciting per...

It's the last month of 2020 (yay!!), so it's fitting that we are back to recording another socially distanced episode of GBNTB. Andrew joins over the phone as we start off with a look back at November which featured a lot of non-hoppy beer offerings, along with the destruction of their outdoor garden tent by Mother Nature. We then look ahead into what December 2020 will bring, plus an up...

Summer is winding down and we are heading toward the best (IMO) time of year and with that comes another episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast. At the beginning of the episode, we read some new reviews submitted by listeners, two of which include acronyms that we guess the meaning of at the end of the show. Andrew reviews a quiet August in the world of Dancing Gnome, includi...

Reunited!! I'm happy to say that we are back together for the June episode of Good, But Not the Best! We were able to record in the taproom (from a safe distance, of course) and were joined by Rob Dillman, of Old Thunder Brewing, after 2 episodes without a guest. We start off by reading some of the new reviews submitted by listeners since the last episode, including 2 reviews that included ac...

Thanks for checking out the latest episode of Good But Not the Best! We're sticking with the socially distanced set up for this episode but are hopeful that we will be back recording in person for June. We switch things up slightly at the start of the show by first looking ahead into May 2020 which will be dominated by Lustra variants. Unfortunately, Lustra day can't happen this year but...

We're back with a socially distanced episode of Good But Not the Best. Due to the ongoing coronavirus measures, we were unable to record this episode in person, but thanks to the miracle of technology, we were still able to get an episode out to our listeners. We don't have a guest on this episode, for obvious reasons but with everything that has happened since we last recorded, we had p...
