Customer Reviews
The best beer education out there
I love attending CBC and watching BA, ASBC and MB webcast seminars, but IMHO, this is the most educational 30 - 40 minute investment a pro brewer can make. Episode after episode is packed with valuable information.
Amazing
Great pod, love it
Sound quality
An informative technical brewing podcast but the sound quality makes it unlistenable.
