March 12 – A Conversation with Mike and Matt, hosts of The Afternoon Pint
/RSS FeedIan and Ross have the pleasure of getting to chat with Mike Tobin and Matt Conrad, hosts of ‘The Afternoon Pint’ podcast.

Regardless, the gents drink the Smashing Blonde Ale from Great Roads Brewing, the “Cereal Killer” Oatmeal Stout from Big Spruce Brewing, and the “Malternate Reality” NEIPA from North Brewing.
