The Brew Crew are back at it again with the first episode of Season 02. Aptly named, the Trainwreck Episode things go off the rails pretty quickly as Brian contends with recording issues, camera battery life, and the usual shenanigans from JB and Kristy.

In today's episode, Brian and Kristy discuss apartment style brewing, and make plans to design a mini-brew system for Kristy, which will still appeal to her "aesthetic."  And in a major last minute plot twist, Brian derails the original podcast topic, while Kristy has secured what might become her favorite beer style, a Cold IPA from Carl Stauss/Sierra Nevada called What's Cooler than Being Cool. The main topic? I'm glad you a...

In today's episode, Brian wrestles with an un-constructive YouTube comment and ponders how to respond, while discussing upcoming videos in the Benham Brewing pipeline. But the MAIN topic of the day is extreme beers, and Kristy manages to secure two very different beers to sample, one from PipeWorks Brewing and one from Historic brewing. Spoiler alert... one of them ended up being a drain pour.
