Internet Beer Users

Have you ever had one too many beers and thought to yourself "Hey, maybe I should start a podcast"? Us too! We love technology, so we figured we'd get together about once a week, crack a bottle of good brew, and shoot the breeze about Apple, the future of mobile computing, and the differences between East and West Coast IPAs. Join us on a quest for the fastest pings and dankest hops this side of Silicon Valley, cheers!

Here it is: our never before heard lost episode! We recorded this Tuesday, May 29 and we give our predictions for the NBA Finals and announcements for WWDC 2018. Given that Apple’s iPhone event is tomorrow, September 12, it’s very interesting, and super funny, to listen to our thoughts from back in May.

We hope everyone enjoys this bonus episode and thank you again for your support!

This episode's show beer is Mockeries by Monkish Brewing.

Producer’s note: This is a rough version of the episode. As you will see, there is quite a bit of pre-show talk and I left out intro and outro theme music just to give our loyal listeners what it sounds like when we actually record.

Have you ever had one too many beers and thought to yourself "Hey, I wonder what the last episode of the Internet Beer Users podcast would sound like"? Us too!

On our final(?) episode we congratulate Apple on a historic milestone, welcome Nick to the modern age of laptop computing, and recount the fateful night that the concept for the IBU podcast was conceived.

As we raise up our pours of the second batch of the Cellarmaker X Trillium X Other Half collab Juice Gymnastics, we toast each and every one of you who has tuned in to the show during the past year and a half - cheers!
