Episode 148 – The Hops Challenge Continues
Posted By John on July 10th, 2009
Brian M was kind enough to bring a couple beers we hadn’t tried, the Orange Blossom Cream Ale from Buffalo Bill’s Brewing and the Blue Star Wheat for North Coast Brewing. Both beers of summer.
Week four of the hops challenge came in. We are starting to see a change in perception of hoppy beers.
