Hi everybody and welcome to Episode 5 of Season 2 of Red Wings Rant hosted by the Brothers of Discussion and brought to you by the Hockey Podcast Network.  Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings, finally, have a home.

Let’s talk about World Juniors and how you can get prepared as a Red Wings fan! The first games start this weekend, so let’s get ready!

We are also continuing our Rochester Mills 12 Days of Christmas sampling with the triple Layer Imperial Decadence Stout, ‘Paul Woods’ returns to play Who is That Pokemon, and play Be the GM.

Rochester Mills 12 Days of Christmas - Triple Layer Decadence Imperial Milkshake Stout 

The Brothers of Discussion are excited and proud to present their first beer tasting of the network. We’re going festive for the holiday season and decided to sample Rochester Mills’ 12 Days of Christmas Beer Package. The Brothers will be tasting the beers for a flavor match to the beer’s name, drinkability, the packaging, and provide an overall score (weighted by the drinkability).

Rochester Mills is a Michigan Brewery, famous in the state for its 12 Days of Christmas Box Set. Released on an annual basis, the brewery tinkers with the list of 12 beers, but always follows through with a smooth, milk-like base. 

Triple Layer Decadence Imperial Milkshake Stout

On top of the Milkshake feel is a new list of twelve beers.
