Episode 131 – The Guinness Challenge
Posted By John on March 13th, 2009
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day we started the Guinness challenge. We rounded up three versions of Guinness. Two of them were draught. One in bottle one in a can. They were supposed to be the same, but we found out they each were a bit different.
