Another show with the ladies…  God help Groucho!

On this show, Groucho, CHUD, AB, Sly and Margaret share some of the basics of where beer comes from.   Consider it a review for those who know it all.  Fact check our fact-less show.  Hope that our slight knowledge informs a few of the macro masses and can influence just one drinker into the fold of craft beer fans.
