The good news: Sheila is now working full time.  The bad news: We don't have as much time to go out for lunch anymore (since she's on midnights and is usually asleep while all the lunch specials winnow away).  But, we are going to make an effort to put the podcast out at least bi-weekly, and we recently took a trip to Toronto!

This week's episode is a pubcast - as such, listener discretion is advised.  There are a few eff bombs, and we are podcasting from a pub discussing adult beverages, so use your judgement when choosing to listen. 

We discuss the documentary Beer Wars, which discusses how microbrews are fighting for space on shelves with the Big Three (Budweiser, Miller, Coors) in the USA.  We also discuss other trivia, so pull your favourite pint (or other beverage) and tune in!
