This episode, we sat down with Stephen Loh, ⅓ of the acclaimed West Coast beer podcast, Malt Couture (you may recognize them from their other venture, @dontdrinkbeer). If you don't know them, they bring together the perfect balance of improv and beer education (plus some extremely geographic-specific California references), plus drinking beer (so you don't have to).
