Next it's Part 1 in an 8 part Ken Burns series of reviewing the new Netflix show Brew Brothers. This week is Episode 1. Some people think it's awful. Some people think it's passable. Hear everything wrong with it and the few thing(s?) right with it.

The duo of Kasey has returned as Kelsey helps Steve and Adam send Katie off as she goes to serve the military overseas once again. It's also the start of Year 4. They drink coffee beers about it. COVID-19 has made the news unpredictable, so they take the time to shout out who's providing the best up to date info on breweries such as Cans PGH, Breweries in PA, and Hop Culture. They also pick apart a terribly written beer article and everything wrong with it. Then it's the history of coffee beer and coffee in the second segment. Finally, it's a new game called Sip, Shotgun and Drainpour which is harder than Sophie's Choice, because she only had to choose between two.
