Nothing Under 10% ABV – Podcast
Posted By John on May 22nd, 2009
Trying three beers at 11% and higher ABV is probably a questionable practice, but we did it anyway. In order of ABV and tasting; Quadrium Ale from Urthel Samaranth (11%), Belzebuth from Brasserie Grain D’Orge (13%), and The Beast from Avery Brewing (16.31%).
For music we pulled a band that we’ve enjoyed many times. The Dust Rhinos and their song Here’s to You. Think Budweiser’s real men of genius ads in catchy song form. Good stuff.
