Bottom Dwellers Bierclub

By Armando Gonzalez

A podcast for the lover of food, beer, history, and culture. Part educational, part nonsense, but a good time no matter how you pour it! We visit our favorite restaurants, breweries and anywhere that has some form of libations! We are two working commercial divers that know nothing about nothing. We work hard in a risky environment below the sea and like to spend our time on land at the best spots for food and drink! Follow us as we get the inside stories from the brewers, restauranteurs, servers, workers, and patrons. Beer snobs, wine snobs, food snobs, this show is not for you!
