10 years kids!  Who would have thought that Groucho and CHUD could start a little show in July 2005 and keep it going consistently (fairly) for the last ten years.  Certainly not us!

One last shoutout to Jeff and Greg at Craftbeer Radio…  And a promise to podcast longer! Now… If you listened all the way through, you might be questioning the resolve of the owners of this show to be the beer crazed nuts that we have been in the past.  We still love beer… We still love hanging out with each other…  But the fact of the matter is…  CHUD now has a life as well!  Its going to be hard to pretend that we can get away with this much bad behavior forever!  We will still be out and about.  We will still hang and record.  But, events and launches are back burner events at this point. PLEASE GOD…  Isn’t there anyone else in Peoria Beercasting to fill the void???  Kinda shocking that there is not!  There seems to be a beer podcast in every town over 30,000 people! Beers purchased at some cool co-op in Vermont.  Thanks to the “dude” for help grabbing some cool beer!

Bianca is back!  Adopt A Podcast dot Org is really helping this show come along!!! We had picked a bottle of Red Hot Mama last winter down in Florida at Total Wine in Fort Myers Florida.  For those of you who don’t remember…  It was skunked!  So much so that we threw out a tweet stating that fact.  Well, Sweetwater was not going to let that stand…  They quickly contacted us and asked to get a new bottle out ASAP.  Wish we could say we got a new show out that fast! Finally, we had the opportunity to taste this one on air…  It was worth a second try!  Great beer with a much heavier feel than we expected along with nice tart hops. Beers on teh show:  Dank Tank Replacement of Red Hot Mama via Sweetwater Brewing Company. On the show: Look at those nails! Replacement Beers. Red or Pink?  Do these nails match my BMW? CHUD’s thinking very clearly Dank Tank, scratching their itch! Getting PDiddy on the show?  Go Bianca’s dad!

Groucho and CHUD are back with a new audio podcast!

Also new to the show:  Bianca.  Our Adoptapodcast sponsor. Enjoy this first episode with Bianca as we get to know the woman behind the NEW TBR. Beers on the show:  Unimportant.
