Four Brewers: Craft Beer and Homebrew


Jan 12, 2015

Season 2, Episode 2 This week, we’re altering our palates and sacrificing some great beers in the process, all in the name of fun!

This week, we’re altering our palates, be it for good or bad, to experience what’s like to taste different styles of beer after eating “Miracle Berries”. Miracle Berries are known for their ability to basically make things that are bitter taste sweet, and things that are sour to tastes even sweeter than if it were bitter. They come from West Africa, and Jason and Greggot some as part of Cards Against Humanity’s “12 Days of Holiday Bullshit” promotion.

Without giving too much away in the blog post, the results were quite interesting. Johnwas not a fan of this little experiment going into it, simply because he thought it was a waste of time and (great) beer. But we all know that John can be a bit of a party-pooper at times…
