The Beerists Craft Beer Podcast

The Beerists Craft Beer Podcast

Every week, John Rubio and his co-hosts, Grant Davis, Pam Catoe, and Mark Raup, meet to taste, discuss, and judge five different beers from all over the world. Part beer appreciation, part drunken comedy, it’s the only beer podcast the A.V. Club calls, “consistently illuminating and amusing.”

It's Pam's birthday! And to celebrate, we're trying a bunch of beers her husband David gave us! Or is it Richard? Not sure. I'd ask Pam, but a rat carried her off while we weren't paying attention. Might have to look at his hairstyle for that one.

We're super excited to get these Ohio beers from listener Joey Borders– mainly because it'll be the 1st time in a long time we've had Fat Head's Head Hunter on the show– which by every measure is the current best IPA in the world. But is it?
