Episode 54 – No News means Beer News

It’s a slow news week in regards to nerdy things but that doesn’t stop Mike and Shaun from trekking through and discussing some upcoming beer fests and brewery tours. They scrape together a bit of nerd talk but for the most part this is a fairly beer centric conversation.

Sit back, pop open a cold one and hit play!
