Episode 621 – Let The Fun Be Gin

For the first time in Barrel-Aged December history, we have a whole show of gin barrel-aged beers – and we’ll tell you why that’s something of a rarity. With an all-star lineup of breweries, nothing here is a letdown – but there are still plenty of flavor surprises to be had. Also, we’re drawing up some jukebox strategies given unforeseen circumstances; we’re ready to bring back the horse blanket; and we’re letting the gin make us more poetic. And then there’s the introduction of GinBot 3000, the worst character we’ve ever created.
