S4E169: Swedish Death Cleaning

Andrew and Rob tackle the concept of "Swedish Death Cleaning" , leading to the unearthing of a treasure trove of vintage beers, including a decade-old Westvleteren and a forgotten Dogfish Head Noble Rot.
Tune in to hear which aged beer is a win and which is a "failure".

The hosts also dive into the politics and complexities of beer competitions, from the Great American Beer Festival to local awards ceremonies, sharing insider tips on what makes a great beer judge. Finally, they cover the local awards moving to Mesa's The Post and Rob's solo travel plans for Oktoberfest in Munich.
