Episode 58 - GPBF vs GABF

In Episode 58 we bring you a ton of content from Ohio brewery tours, to Boise Hoptober Freshtivals, to Seattle Great Pumpkin Beer Festivals to Colorado Great American Beer Festivals...a lot of beer talk for sure! John talks about visiting a few Columbus, OH area breweries and Denny talks more fresh hop beer goodness. Find out what happened at the GPBF this year and we ask the question if there are too many categories at the GABF. We encourage you to participate in our listener tasting notes segment in this episode by picking up a bottle of the Elysian Dark O’ The Moon Pumpkin Stout and tasting along with us.
