The Beerists Craft Beer Podcast

In our second of our two show St Louis extravaganza (thanks to listener Andy Richter), we taste 5 beers from Perrenial, Side Project, and 4 Hands. Rubio comes up with a way to make money, Grant is unreliable, Mike is probably high, and Anastacia gets medical insurance.

We didn't know what to do with this oddball mix of 5 beers, so we lumped them into one show. Plus, I have no memory of the ending. Shit got weird.
