Our second Origins episode has finally arrived!  This time Adam takes us to his home state of Iowa to talk about the cold, the drinking traditions, and even a shout out to his high school prom date.  And if that’s not enough, we’re doing another patented Beering Ain’t Easy beer experiment - tasting 2 different Midwest stouts at 3 different temperatures to let you, the listener, know which beer temperature is the most ideal for your drinking enjoyment.  Have your thermometers at the ready!
