Soproni (#53)

If you ever wondered how I get my beers the answer is "It depends". Often I buy them myself, sometimes I get them from my friends (my dearest sponsors to date). That is why today Girl Likes Beer podcast is sponsored by Bookie who brought a Hungarian lager so I could add it to the podcast. I hope you enjoy this episode, it's pretty funny. You'll see why.


The video is also available on YouTube.
