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.

I think listener Juan Lopez is insane. Why else would he send a box of 6 of the best beers around to a podcast instead of drinking them? Maybe he has a brain parasite.

Aging beer is a crapshot. In this episode, Anastacia presents 5 beers from her collection that we assumed would have benefited from a few years of aging.

Caroline Wallace from bitchbeer.org joins us for an assortment of 5 beers. Everyone pulls weight to make up for Rubio's lost voice, and we talk poop, beer, poop, and poop. Also, poop.

The votes are in, and it turns out our listeners wanted to hear us taste some bourbon! Mike and Rubio are ecstatic, Anastacia hates it, and Grant becomes a man. One that cries a lot.

5 different beers, all with barrels in their past. Rubio needs a doctor, Anastacia tastes blood pennies, Mike is a troll, Grant has a fan, nobody poops willy-nilly, and there's a first time for everything.

Four hoppy beers from listener Sean Grogan and one from Jack Stahl make up the best episode we've had in a while. Anastacia wrestles with expectations, Grant voice betrays him, Rubio is fat, and Mike battles a lion-shaped ghost from his past.

Listener Haig Pilavgian gave us a lineup of beers from Belching Beaver that made us fight, scream, and question each others judgement. Mike is happy, Anastacia threatens to quit, Rubio is a dictator, and Grant bares his fangs. Hang on tight. Me So HoneyEasy BeaverHop HwyRabid Beaver BiteDamned! Rankings Mike1. Me So Honey2.

Fort Collins' own New Belgium has been making beer since the early 90s, and has since become the 3rd largest craft brewery in the US.

In this episode, Belgium gets us drunk. Rubio and Mike especially. Grant is fired more than once, and Anastacia exposes and ejects an imposter in the lineup.

Anastacia is back from Belgium in time to join the rest of us for some of New Mexico's La Cumbre beers. We read some hate mail, get drunk, and argue alot. Oh, and Grant ruins the music.

Listener Joe Bridges dropped another box of Ohio beers on us, plus a new Stone beer makes an appearance. Grant and Anastacia quibble over English, Mike is still fine, and Rubio apologizes for fucking up the pronunciation of acetaldehyde.

This is not a normal episode. We don't even taste beer on it. It's an unedited recording we did at a small Sunday hang out at Rubio's place, where Grant thought it would be a good idea to hit the internet up for questions. After about an hour, we fired up the mics. Recorded July 27, 2014. Be sure to keep those donations coming, and help us get to GABF! You might get something cool in return!

Ok, this is bananas. 6 random beers all turn out to be stellar. Grant debuts his new laugh, Mike is happy, Rubio is old, and Anastacia melts down fierce.

Rubio got a box of 6 fresh Hill Farmstead growlers, so we decided to make a show of it. Mike hates everything, Anastacia likes a porter, Grant makes shit up, and Rubio is at the end of his rope.

Ok, so there are technically 4 fancy stouts, a fancy porter, and a plus one, but screw it. We talk beer, sadness, and Grant's infamous status in Australia. Thanks Brian and Haig!
