As Jason and I will do full episodes every two weeks or so, I want to make sure listeners have some content inbetween our ramblings. So, once or twice per week, I'll record 5- to 15-minute "podquickie" reviews covering a single beer and a little news, if there is any.

This first podquickie looks at Founders Dirty Bastard out of Michigan. Cheers!
