Episode 27: Gulden Draak & our Favourite Albums of 2012
Colin & I were joined by Chris Rohling to drink some Gulden Draak and talk about our favourite albums of 2012. Brett was also there for a little bit. Belgian beer was basically the only thing we could find that was both available to Chris in Minnesota and us in Winnipeg and Gulden Draak seemed like a good idea. This episode is our first with episode notes, which is helpful because we covered a lot of ground.
