Cold Hearted Love

Just in time for Valentine’s Day the Should I Drink that Team has put together some thoughts on some lovely beers with miserable names.

Check out their latest podcast – Love Stinks – where they review the following beers – Rogue’s Brutal Bitter, Erie Brewing Misery Bay IPA, Bells Two Hearted Ale

If you haven’t had a chance to visit & listen to Should I Drink That – you should – Sick Puppy and Father Spoon (who are really great people – don’t let the serious names deter you) have an award winning podcast about all things beer and they live right here in Pittsburgh so they visit many local watering holes.

Help A Pittsburgh Blogger Support MDA

Doug Derda, more commonly known around the Pittsburgh blogosphere as Father Spoon from Should I Drink That is working to beat his fundraising goal from last year for the MDA. Should I Drink That is an excellent podcast that is popular here in Pittsburgh and with beer drinking fans beyond Pittsburgh. The Should I Drink That guys have done a great job with their podcast and they do a great job supporting local businesses.
I have had the opportunity to get to know Father Spoon and Sick Puppy from PodCamp and from some of the beer festivals around Pittsburgh. I think they are awesome podcasters and Pittsburghers and I happy to help Doug support the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Doug is trying to raise $2000 by the end of November (yes, today). I hope you will visit his fundraising page and make a contribution.
