Also, we learn about his past as a bass player in a hardcore band, and talk a little bit about Lionel Richie. What a show!  http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast.

We welcome celebrated journalist, author, and beer judge, Melissa Cole - all the way from ol' Blighty. Thanks to Catfish, we had the chance to sit down and talk with her in front of a wonderfully live audience (they were all so live) and get into some pretty... interesting... topics. Come for her unique insight into the world of beer, stay for the anecdote at the end. Trust me.  http://aleofatime.com/category/podcast/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to GABS for 2018, where the beers are full of lactose and vanilla, and the stages aren't on top of the containers anymore.
