Let Me Drink About It

We we sat down with the amazing Jay Jones. This episode goes everywhere. From Wu-tang to horror movies. From stand up comedy to government cheese. From Mark Harmon to Che Guevara. Oh...and we also talk about the feeling of growing old in the San Diego beer industry. Take a listen, we had a lot of fun on this one.
