Summary

Einstok is an Icelandic brewery located just a skip away from the Arctic circle, and we're trying 4 of their beers on this episode! We become completely baffled by shelf life, question the brewer's intent, and almost give up and buy a whole country.

  • Arctic Lager
  • White Ale
  • Arctic Pale Ale
  • Toasted Porter

Theme Music by Adrian Quesada

End Credits Music: Top Funnel by Ooyy

Additional music licensed through Epidemic Sound
