009 Fall Whiskey and Rye IPA pairings by HopHeadSaid
Easter and 4/20 collide in this episode that features old and new friends, peeps, and cocktails - not necessarily mixed or in that order. No on-air herb enjoyment! Rick Haught, fellow beer geek and the guy responsible for making Curtis a HopHead, joins Joby, Curtis, and Jason in this special Easter edition. Unfortunately, audio/video technical problems plagued the first 5 minutes of the show so the show begins mid-thought while we are contemplating whether or not Hop Devil (the first hoppy beer Rick served to Curtis) is still as hoppy as we remember.

Joby and I are back behind the mics together after a break that included a scheduled off week, family obligations, and a root canal. That is a lot to cover and recover from but we get it done in style with a flight of beers from The Bruery.
