Jonathan Shikes - Big Beers, Barleywines and Being Blitzed

Chris Washenberger - Distillation And Why I Love It
Distillation has a long and storied history and liquor has left marks on cultures throughout the world. In the States, we have our own interesting and controversial relationship with booze and its production and it has given us things like NASCAR and the iconic hillbilly at the same time modern craft distillers could not be more fashionable. The history is cool and I want to toss around my take on it.

Sara Downey - Beer makes me a better mommy. Wait. Who's THAT baby?
Parenting is hard work. Babies are total jerks most of the time. Crying, screaming, whining, shitting all over the place, peeing on you. Ugh. Sometimes Momma just needs a drink. And I think some of my best parenting ideas are hatched with the help of my good friends Bud and Sam Adams. Kidding, I only drink good beer.
