A strange show title but these are the names of the two breweries we are sampling in this show. From opposite ends of the country, Mad Swede is out of Boise ID., and Barrel of Monks is down in Boca Raton, FL.
Our panel today comprises the entire staff of the Brit and Yankee pub, Brewmaster Mark, Cellarmaster Lingo, and of course The Brit – the band’s back together! And joining us for the biggest panel we have ever had is tavern owner John Karwoski, and listeners Tim and Tom (fresh from the barleywine tasting in the last show), and to add the subtleties of the female palate, we welcome Lisa G.

Freya’s Pale from Exertion, ABV:5.5% IBU: 45
Longship IPA, ABV 6.2%, IBU 65

Hello, my name is Kevin Abbott and I am the Director of Operations for Barrel of Monks Brewing. I wanted to thank you for featuring our products on your podcast and for the kind words you had for our beer. Please share with Mark that the next time he is in the area we would like to have him as our guest at the brewery. He can reach out to me via email. I would also like to extend that invitation to anyone of you that is connected with the podcast should you ever find yourselves in our neighborhood. I would very much look forward to sharing a pint. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about BOM or you just want to chat about beer. Thanks again, cheers!
