"A friend of the show went to Iowa and brought back a couple of fuit-based brews which prompted us to track down a couple more and give us the theme for this edition. Recorded down at Hopvine Brewing in Aurora, with Mark and Phil are Chuck Fort from Church Street Brewing, and Hopvine's very own head brewer, Ken McMullen. Rounding out the guest list is Alex Zapata from Fox Valley Homebrew and Wine Supplies, who has opened up their store right next to Hopvine. We try 5 fruit-based brews, and also three varieties of Ken's Ukranium Krusher, and while we taste and cogitate on these fine samples of Russian Imperial Stout, we have a somewhat confrontational discussion on the beer can labels from Gun Craft."
