405: European legends: Ale to the King

Jason Weiser, Carissa Weiser, Nextpod
About this episode

🍺Meet Cambrinus, things aren't going so well for him🍺

He's a peasant kid with a job that's going nowhere, a crush who doesn't love him back, and no one takes him seriously when he absolutely knocks it out of the park playing the viola. If only he knew he was destined to be legendary King of Beer.

😈 The Creature: The Cocoa
A two-foot-long sparkling cat sounds like a lot of fun. Until it's very much not.
