ROTATING TAP - CRAFT BEER AND COMEDY

Your host, comedian Steve Vanderploeg invites comedian friends to discuss all things beer with industry representatives such as brewers, owners, taproom managers and bartenders as well as other comedians alike to create an anti-craft beer, craft beer podcast. Regular segments include a beer chugging leaderboard, brewers telling jokes, and forcing owners to read negative reviews about their businesses. You’ll learn about beer, comedy, the parallels between the two, and the industries that surround them both - all while having a laugh!
