How convenient would it be when packing for a camping trip and not have to find room for a few cases of beer in your trunk? Well thanks to A German monastic brewery, Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle, this may be a reality soon

Producer Special S.3 E 18 – Smoove Move

After some begging and pleading, Producer Cruz has given the podcast’s number one fan a chance at redemption. 
If you have listened to all of our previous content, you will remember the name Trevor Wilhelm who has supplied beers for the podcast in the past, and has even been on a couple episodes.
With the ‘Great Smoothie Beer Mishap of 2022’ in the past, Trevor is back and ready to redeem himself. During the mishap, we learned that Trevor didn’t keep the smoothie beer he purchased chilled and it ended up plastered across Tyler’s kitchen wall. 
Recently, Trevor pitched the idea of a Producer Special about what a Smoothie Sour beer is, while outlining some tips and tricks when consuming. He also planned on purchasing a smoothie beer to sample on the epsiode, so nothing could possibly go wrong this time… right?
