Just like kickin’ back with beers and buds

Great podcast, feels like you’re hanging and drinking beers with some buddies. Always brings a smile and gets to the point on good beer. Cheers!

Benj the Belge ,

These guys are the best duo!

I friggin love this podcast! Mike and Brendan make me smile and laugh with every episode I listen to. As a beer enthusiast, this podcast is great to discover some new brews reviewed by 2 pros, yet without the bro-ish snobbery. Just a couple of good dudes with great topics to discuss while drinking some heady brews. Highly recommend!!

I’m enjoying the lighthearted, fun, yet informative nature of this podcast! It’s both an easy listen and something that makes you think long after it’s over. Loving it so far.
