Episode 90 – Sing a Song of Ale

Posted on by

Thanks to questions and beer tastings – we’ve had a bunch of feedback, so we dig into what everyone thought. And after tackling that we stop for another beer as we talk to Matt Van Wyk of Denny’s favorite brewery – Alesong in Eugene. And of course, questions, brew news, ingredients and more!
