Love music? Love beer? Love sci-fi? Well, we talk (and sing) about it all with our guests Sara Langworthy and Adam Reinwald from Beer Choir. We had so much fun with our guests that we went way overtime....and totally not sorry! Also, for the record, Amy lies about all her musical preferences...

Beershits goes international! Amy and Mel share how they both lost their dignity in Paris. More importantly we're speaking with Amélie Tassin, a French national living in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is the founder of Beer Without Beards and the Women in Beer (WIB) Festival. She's making sure our beer-drinking-babes-in-arms across the pond are fighting the good fight!
Note: This interview was recorded in late February 2022.
What we're drinking:

• Fruition Strawberry Crush, 71 Brewing (Hazy Sour, 7.4%)
• Scottish Ale, Belhaven Brewery (Scottish Ale, 5.2%)

Our longest episode yet is with guest Rick Burkhardt. He is the creator of Indy Beer Week, author of the blog, Indy Beer Sleuth, and a retired police detective. Amy & Mel completely nerd out on true crime, get tips on how to conduct interrogations, and talk about beers from Indiana.
