So Fun and learning all the beer things!

Ok, so am craft beer nerd, but sometimes my tummy tells me hard NO! I literally vicariously live my life through these 2 (plus guests) they are REAL, they have a great vibe and I feel like I understand what they are drinking even if I cannot always partake myself! They have fun sharing what they think of beer and trying all the awesome things! They have made me laugh, they have inspired me, they have reminded me of friends I have and conversations I have with those friends and I think they are what a podcast SHOULD be! Thanks guys...yall sure are making my long drives sweet!!!

Bluegrass_bible ,

CraftBeerBucketList AWESOMENESS!!

Listen to my brothers biggest ray and medium mike. This is my absolute favorite and ONLY BeerCast to listen to. Not only because I was honored to be a guest. It’s pure beer talk no fluff. Only thing I would add is a beer news segment and certain someone who’s not the “BIGGEST” or “MEDIUMEST” guy. 🤓🧐😏🤪

MrsMomStone ,

Fun facts and all things beer!!

This has been a great podcast to listen to, and I’m not even a beer drinker! The insight they offer to the areas that these craft breweries serve, but also give very detailed descriptions of the beers they are discussing! The question of “would you add this to your bucket list” is a different and fun way to have a rating scale. Definitely an engaging and interesting podcast to follow!!
