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.

Episode 5 - Sorry... But We've Been Drinking

In this Weeks Episode: Mikkeller's Santa's Little Helper 2012 is reviewed



The guys talk Philosophy, Metal, and Star Trek. Our lack of conversation about the beer seems to be an indicator of what we think of it. Not monk blowing quality.

Also.... there is no fucking excuse for what you're about to hear. We would not blame you for skipping this train wreck of an episode. That being said, if Liz & Dick was up your alley, this episode is for you. You have been warned.

Beer Specs:
Style: Dark Belgian Strong Ale (quadish)
Country Of Origin: Denmark
ABV: 10.5%
