27 APR 2018 · So Amanda has been bustling around Sunday River, a ski resort in Maine, shredding up the Spring Brew Fest. With a set of five questions—all ski related, of course, she finds out what kind skier and snowboarder these beer drinkers are. And the most important question of them all: what is your favorite après ski beer? If you’re an unlearned fellow like myself, “après ski” means after skiing, and what beverage you choose after such an activity can say a lot about you. So grab your lift ticket, strap your boots on, and head up the mountain. For links to all of their social media be sure to hit up the show notes by going to http://greatbeeradventure.com/113
