First off my apologies to the state of Indiana and Any listener who has sent us beer that we didn't drink in a timely fashion. This show is a hard learned lesson that most craft beers are intended to be drank fresh. The plan was to do an Indiana Spotlight show, but we had one spoiled beer after another. It was one for the books.

This was a bad idea because there was a gremlin in the machine that ruined the audio. We were able to salvage the show with some fancy audio filtering but now it sounds like we were in a large sewer tube instead of outside in the open air. Oh, The beers, FAN-TAS-TIC!
