It's the unluckiest numbered episode of your favorite podcast about beer, geekery, and everything in-between! In this installment, buff your sci-fi reading list with Matt and Marcel's low-brow-pretending-to-be-high-brow novel selections.

Things will get interesting as Frank Herbert is worshipped and then discarded, IPAs are reviewed (warning: faux-PAs might come up), and Ian M Banks novels are stolen.

Tune in for more beer, more geekery, and the answer to the question: Why is the world a dystopian hellscape?

Craft beer geeks. Regular geeks. We combine these in a mind-blasting explosion of nonsense that every craft beer fanatic, geek, and homebrewer can connect with. Join hosts Marcel and Matt as they explore the weird world of beer and geekery. Beers will be reviewed. Science fiction will be mentioned. Homebrewing will be scrutinized. And we will almost certainly argue about who shot first.
