Season 2 :: Episode 4 :: Smoke 'em if ya got 'em


We're back from a long break, and glad to be drinking and talking about beer again. This time around, Hog Dawg treats us to 2 smoked beers - an authentic Bavarian Rauch Beir, and Alaskan Brewing's Smoked Porter.

To pick up where we left off, we read the results of our Hoserama 2.0 brackets, and give out the results that others posted on our web site. We discuss the Imus fracas, and how this affects freedom of speech on the internet. It's rare when we have serious discussions, so bear with us. What Imus did was too much.
