Sarah and I are in Cologne, Germany! Our plan was to drink our way through the local specialty, Kölsch, but when we heard that there’s been an emerging craft beer scene, we reached out to a certified cicerone named Linus (@koelschbeertour on instagram) to talk about the hardest part of convincing Germans to open their mind to new things happening in the the beer world.
What we thought would be a short hang out, ended up being the forming of a new friendship solidified by our mutual love of beer that lasted late into the night.
Recording Location: Cologne, Germany

Everyone’s heard the phrase “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” but why the hell is it so hard for us to destroy stereotypes that are ingrained in our perception of the world? Craft beer is for bearded guys with tattoos right? Speaking of tattoos, if you’re going to get one from someone who knows what their talking about, make sure they’re a dude with tattoos covering their arms and neck right?
I sat down to get, what ended up being the most bad ass tattoo I’ve ever gotten, from my friend Bobbie (@noizecricket on Instagram) in Frankfurt Germany today.
The funny thing is, if you ran into her on the street, you’d never guess she packs a punch and could through some massive ink-pain your way.
Turns out she’s alot like this this city I love, Frankfurt. Feel free to visit it thinking it can fit in a nice box, but be prepared for more complexity than you could have planned for.

My body’s telling me to crawl into my cozy hotel bed, but my search for Frankfurt’s ‘Aphelwein’ takes me to the streets as I try this magic elixir for the first time.

Whatever happened to that Minneapolis homeless encampment (or “Tent City” as it became known) before it’s population seemingly disappeared overnight? Is it Indian… Native American… First Nationals… what’s the proper term nowadays? Speaking of modern times, I keep seeing blond girls showing up to music festivals wearing traditional headdresses and bikinis, what’s the Native American society feel about that?
This week, Rob sits down with Patina Park over coffee to talk about these thing and much, much more in possibly the most important conversation he’s had yet.

In Question 49, Ian Allison talked about the freedom of traveling with limited gear and clothing and washing your laundry in the sink. I went out and bought some of the clothes he like, wore them multiple days in a row, made Sarah smell them each day, and washed like he does... here's what I think...
