dschommer@everydaydrinkers.com (Derrick Schommer) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:22:02 -0500

Perhaps the silliest thing we’ve done thus far, Doug has the great idea to do a podcast on malt liquors, 40s, ghetto wines and other cheap drinks. So, we’ve picked up Thundebird, Smirnoff Ice, Olde English 800, Boones Farm, Hurricane High Gravity, Orange Driver and the good ol’ Colt 45.

All in all, we probably collectively spent $15.00. The end result is a proof positive that malt beverages are not for the faint of heart or…sober.
