Bonus: Copa Cerveza, Judging, and the Madness of October

In this bonus episode of Bean to Barstool, I reflect back on my recent trip to Mexico to judge at Copa Cerveza Mx and the great beer and chocolate I had while I was there, and discuss what I love about beer judging and what you should and shouldn't take away from beer award results. 

The Copa Cerveza Mx awards list can be found here.

I also briefly talked about the upcoming Midwest Craft Chocolate Festival. You can listen to my full preview of the festival here.
