"CBR 0.9: Double IPA","On Thursday, June 3rd, Jeff and I produced our <a href="http://craftbeerradio.com/episodes/CBR-000.9-20050603.mp3">first ever podcast of Craft Beer Radio</a> [9.71 MB].  It was intended to be a small, short test episode to make sure all of our equipment worked and that we could actually fill up time.  To our surprise, we ended up with over 40 minutes of non-horrible material.  We still consider <a href="http://craftbeerradio.com/episodes/CCBR-000.9-20050603.mp33">this</a> a test episode, as we are still gaining our podcasting legs, but we offer it here as an example of what our show will be like.<br /><br />

On this edition, we cover two examples of <em>Imperial</em> or <em>Double India Pale Ales</em>.  We describe the genre, including its history, and discuss two excellent beers:<br /><br />
