We ki...

Episode 13 could not have worked out better if we planned it... because this time, we’re taking the show to Salem, Massachusetts. That’s right: our spooky-numbered episode just happened to be about witches, Hocus Pocus filming locations, old New England buildings, tourist shops, breweries, chowda, fried shrimp, and one very dark beer that looked like it came straight out of an oil pan. In this epi...

Episode 7 -  We hit The Wandering Tortoise in Phoenix for their Sour Fest, and things got deliciously out of control.
