Episode 603 – Pittsburgh vs. Chicago: Blind Hazy Throwdown (with Aaron Keefner)
When one of our oldest friends and beer industry vet, Aaron Keefner, came back into town from his adopted city of Pittsburgh, we knew we were going to have to throw down – with a blind hazy IPA tasting, of course! We each chose three of the top examples of hazy beers from our respective cities and enlisted the help of the excellent staff at Beer on the Wall in Elmhurst to arrange a blind tasting of all six to determine whose juice is the juiciest. Surprises abound! But also, we talk a lot about Aaron’s experience as a Chicago expat adjusting to life in Pittsburgh – mostly in the areas of beer and food. Also, there’s a few gooballs floating around; we discuss the perils of eating grapefruit; and we learn perhaps the most shocking fact about Pennsylvania Costcos.
