The Beerists 93 - Olde Mecklenburg Brewery Jan 09, 2014

Listener Sean Grogan sent a huge box full of enough beer for 2 shows. First up are 5 beers from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, which somehow sent Rubio into a mean, somewhat surreal drunk. This one got a touch raunchy.

Ah, Goose Island. Once the darling of the craft beer community, the brewery has come under criticism after being purchased by AB Inbev. So how's the beer doing? We dig into some of their vintage ales series to see.
