Devil's Backbone Kabong & James Taylor Top 6

03/08/16 • 104 min

This week Mike and Chas take on two heavyweights. First, it's the Kabong Triple IPA from Devil's Backbone Brewing Company. With an ABV of 11.1, this is one serious high gravity beer that could take Mike and Chas to the limits of their beer tasting abilities. And if you've ever wondered about the mysteries of high gravity, we'll dive into that subject during our segment of Brewery School Dropout.

Our other heavyweight is on the musical side, as Mike and Chas take on the legendary James Taylor in our first official Top 6 Artist Profile. Mike and Chas look at Taylor's amazing career and unveil a Top 6 list of James Taylor songs that have been most influential to them.

All this plus some live performances by Mike and Chas and the latest craft beer news in What's The Buzz.

At The Hops would like to thank these artists for their wonderful background music:
