The droogs speak

Hi all, Paul G here. Just wanted to drop a brief update about recent recording sessions. We haven't forgotten about you, and have actually recorded several eps in the past weeks. Due to general busy-ness and some extra work needed in editing, they've been a bit delayed.
As a teaser, it might be worthwhile to read up on Italian wine. Or not, as our special guest for the next ep goes into great detail.

And We're Back! episodes 6 - 8

After a brief holiday hiatus we have returned to round out our three part Ayinger series. The three beers reviewed in this series (in episode order) were the Oktoberfest Märzen (I could drink a Litre-Hosen of this!), the Celebrator Doppelbock (Merry Drinkin' Christmas), and this week's the Weizenbock (Like it or Not, we're back!). All are pretty easily available in Edmonton, except the märzen, wich as we pointed out is seasonal.

 Look for brand new episodes coming soon, until then, check out this series.
