Jen
In this episode, we review the Washington Hills late harvest Riesling and Samuel Adams 13th Hour Stout. That’s right, our first beer!
Who was there:
Bryan, Kate, Tim, Jen, Chris and Tribble
What happened on the show: We find out what everyone was doing in 1988. Kate says smorgan … a lot. Jen coughs … a lot. We discuss famous Germans (besides Hitler). Bryan and Chris vent about work, Tim vents about laundry, Jen vents about her cold. We talk about “How booze made America.”
