This podcast is about beer. Drinking it, discussing it, brewing it, and enjoying it. We'll explore different styles of beer, discuss beer history, and muse on the tasting notes. We will have guests most times, we may design and brew beer now and again, and we'll even get a few pro brewers to join us and talk about their experiences; at the very least there will be beer, and it will be consumed. It's also a mirror of my YouTube Channel, so if you want the latest episodes, go to https://www.youtube.com/@robtalksbeer
