Episode 625 - 12 Year Blind: Feels LIke The First Time

We're celebrating a dozen years of providing our arbitrary craft beer opinions through a half-blind episode focused on six different styles (out of a possible twelve) that include both long-made stalwarts and brand-new (to us) Chicago brews. Craig and Ryan try to guess each other's blind beers while also attempting to solve some hidden themes - with some surprising results. Also, we hold our first ever Cheese Draft (vote in the comments of our social media posts, please!); we say hello to 10 Sack Craig; and we relive memories of infected beers we drank for the podcast. Thanks for listening and helping us get to 12 years. Beers Reviewed, Half-Blindly Crushed by Giants/DryHop Brewers - Patio Padre (Mexican-style Lager) Brasserie Dupont - Saison Dupont Adams Street Brewery - Open Czech (Czech-style Pilsner) Revolution Brewing - Eugene (Porter) Burning Bush Brewery - Broken Pillar w/ Raspberry (Imperial Chocoalte Milk Stout w/ raspberries) Central Water Brewing Co. - Brewers' Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout
