Season 2, Episode 38:The Palate Wrecker Rampage: A tale of two extremes!

In this rambunctious episode, we cover two far ends of the palate spectrum...1.) Barrique Double Barrel Dream Walkin' which by their own words "began its life peacefully resting in Willet six year “High Rye” barrels but was rudely awakened and transferred into an ex-bourbon barrel that previously housed Ghostown Barrel Ventures maple syrup for 9 months." Aaaaaaaaand then, to take things to another extreme, 2.)Parish Brewing's Strawberry Mochi Sour Fruited Berliner Weisse....because, why not!  You know, we do this to ourselves all for you...hope you enjoy!
