Coming Up from Beer Guys Radio

On this week’s show: The 12 Beers of Christmas. This week we drink 12 Christmas beers while sharing our thoughts on each one, some info on Christmas beer cocktails, and a Christmas beer festival in Belgium. At the end of the show, we give our Top 5 and why each beer got our #1 spot. We’re joined by Tim Cailloux, winner of our Catlanta art auction.

Next week: We’ll talk with Dan Kleban, co-founder of Maine Beer Co. Dan will share some info on his brewing philosophy, giving back to the community, being consistent in your brews, and current issues craft brewers face.
