Feb 23 : Larger : Epic Brewing Co. : with Special Guest Tim Mather from Untappd

This week the Beer Mule brought New Zealand to us delivering a Larger Lager from Epic Brewing Co. A delicious example of an Imperial Pilsner, inspired by Panzer Pilsner from Julian Shrago, brewed with a wonderful combination of New Zealand and US hops.

Stephen teaches the internet about imperial whatevers .. John's pretty sure that New Zealand beers have New Zealand Hops, Matt is uncomfortable with beer butts and Tim destroys our dreams about our check-in entries.

We announce a very cool international competition from Epic Brewing Co .. it involves checking into beers on untappd, with a picture, and t-shirts. Luke explains it better.

On Master Pairings, John brings Bill a bottle of Larger which he masterfully pairs with a huge cracked crab. It was big, and scared Stephen who had to leave the room. John's a cracked crab virgin and enjoys the experience of having to work for his food.

After Master Pairings we finally get around to talking about the beer, which we determine to be delicious, and dangerously easily to drink at 8.5% ABV.

So remember, starting March 1st. Get yourself a bottle of Epic, check yourself into Untappd and post an epic picture of yourself with the beer for a chance to win a t-shirt.
