Who knew so much went into what beer ends up on restaurant menus and store shelves!

Steve Quartell, the beer director for Lost Dog Alexandria, does and he joins Roche and Lashelle to discuss the balancing act of buying beer for restaurants and stores. How does a person's height play a role in what they buy? How many IPAs should a restaurant have on the menu? What about how beers are listed on a menu? These are just some of the factors when deciding how to stock and display beers.

Everybody loves pumpkins beers, right?

RIGHT!?!?!

Actually, pumpkin beers aren't as universally loved as the big pumpkin media would have you believe. But that doesn't mean brewers should just brew bad beers and throw a pumpkin label on it.

Lashelle and Roche are joined by Blaine of Sinistral Brewing Company for a frank discussion of pumpkin beers, the good, the bad, and the very ugly.
