The Beerists Craft Beer Podcast

Listener Kevin Hicks brought us 5 beers from Louisville's Against the Grain Brewery.

Barreled beers are everywhere these days. These 5 seem pretty promising, if we don't black out first that is.

We'd never heard of Vermont's Four Quarters Brewing before listener Scott Adams sent 6 of their beers to us. We also never thought Bill would be back on the show.
