Special guest stars! Our longest episode yet! Batman! Okay, that last one isn't in this episode, but the first two definitely happened. We invited Greg Baker to talk about those delectable delicacies, Cellar Beers (or Aged Beers, if you prefer). Greg comes to us from Aurora Brew Works, a haven of craft beer. With him, we sample a Fuck Art… The Heathens are Coming by To Øl (2015), an Old Embalmer by Widmer Brothers (2013), a Curmudgeon by Founders (2014), and finish the recording with a vertical of Victory at Sea by Ballast Point (2015, 2016). Between the brews we ponder psychology and the proper naming of beer, and Greg leads us on a journey of beer history during the late 18th century, and then his own personal history with the beverage. The hosts make sure to take full advantage of Greg… as a craft beer bartender with extensive industry knowledge. Also, we find out Dan and Alex are firmly #TeamWaffle, we discuss the next big style in craft beer, and then we share war stories from drinking Ghost Face Killah. The episode ends with our segment "What I’ve Been Drinking," which, to be honest, Greg flat out OWNED.
