Boos And Brews Podcast

What have we done to ourselves?!? This week’s beer inspired stories were harder to find than anticipated, so each of the gals did two smaller stories. MORE STORIES FOR YOU! Melissa pops her bottle first with the tale of the Velvet St Melon Heads and how they are all descended from a Dracula who loved cantaloupe a little too much, and then reads us a small but deeply troubling selection from “The Haunted Vagina” which has no hauntings and waaaaaaay too much vagina. Melissa was given Firestone Walker Brewing Co’s Velvet Merkin English Oatmeal Stout as her beerspiration. Then Vanessa fills her glass with the story of San Antonio’s Ghost Tracks where dead children will push your car because their bus driver was too lazy to push theirs, and then takes us to Wisconsin where a old lady haunts a Subway... with her farts. Vanessa was given Karl Strauss Brewing Company’s Red Trolley Ale Irish Red as her beerspiration. Who will win in the battle of pet bones VS child ghosts? Listen and find out!
