6: Chicha Brewing

Ever heard of Chicha? Neither had today's host Carolyn. She and Katie (who's making her BL debut!) learn all about Chicha, and the women who brewed it from our resident history buffs: Christina and Lisa.

Expect to learn a bit about the history of Chicha, it's standing within Incan society, and how it's linked to sacrifice. Christina even has a homemade non-alcoholic variety (Chicha Morada) for tasting tonight.
After Chicha, the ladies chat about beers they're looking forward to for the upcoming season, Bram Stoker, and a few other funny historical tidbits. You know, the usual mix of planned and unplanned ;)
