Reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated. Okay, so nobody reported it, and like we really need a reason to drink some good beer! Dick, Rick, Mike and Chris explore new realms of beer deliciousness in this show.

Rick and Mike recollect their visits to GABF and the Beer Bloggers get together. Rick also waxes philosophically about the BrewDog End of History that he almost got to drink - but he did get to rub the stoat...

 Show 149 - The Politics Show [55:57m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

It is not our nature to discuss politics, but its been getting too weird in Mempho. Dick and Mike go offsite (to Mike's house) to mull over the craziness that is southern politics. And to drink a couple of beers!

It's not just the heat, its the humidity. Maybe that's why there are so many lunatics in Memphis Politics. We cover the lows (cause there ain't that many highs) and diverge into a few misstatements of facts about currently living craft brew icons (sorry I thought you were dead Fritz).

Music Samplings:

• Is You A Viper - Alex Chilton
• I Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl - Bessie Smith
