Episode 92 - Taproom Cleanliness

It is the season for sickness and in Episode 92 we look at taproom cleanliness and the opportunity for passing harmful bacteria and viruses onto the customer. We also answer the question of whether or not the alcohol in beer can help kill off the common cold or influenza. We also discuss several news articles. So grab a beer and enjoy!
