Hey Beerwerks Trailblazers! We’ve got some new trailblazers in town with some decidedly selective tastes. Meet the newest Trailblazer – can you relate?
Marcus and Conrad are the snobbiest of snobs… when it comes to beer. They are self-appointed beer inspectors and they WILL judge you on your choice of beer. Don’t believe us? Listen to this: Conrad claims lite beer has never once touched his lips and Marcus didn’t partake of the toast at his sister’s wedding because they served the beer in the wrong glass. They still haven’t spoken. Trust us, though. The Beerwerks Trails is ready for these two. Will they find a beer that’s worthy of their taste buds? Definitely.
While a full-length itinerary is coming soon, read on for some Beer Snobs’ favorites, fine establishments that will please even the pickiest self-appointed arbiters of taste.
