Podcast recommendation: Draught Punk

Draught Punk is a great new podcast from my hometown of Austin.  It's hosted by the same guys who put out the Austin Beer Guide, which is a free publication that you can pick up at the best pubs in Austin.  Basically, if you're out in Austin and you see a stack of Beer Guides, you know you're in a quality establishment.

Draught Punk is different from so many of the other beer related podcasts available because of its marriage of mostly local brews with the hosts' music selections.  Great beer is best paired with great music, and it's an ideology that I clearly endorse on The Grain.  Also, Draught Punk is pretty hilarious and just gets funnier as its hosts continue to drink throughout.  I usually have a beer cracked open when I post on The Grain, but the effects just aren't always the same in written word.

There are four episodes of Draught Punk currently available on their Tumblr and iTunes (but come on, iTunes sucks).  They mostly run around two hours long, so make sure you have a good-sized chunk of time available to listen, or at least a lot of work to do as it plays in the background.  Or maybe just get buzzed along with the hosts and screw off on the internet as you listen; that's what I usually do.
