The Bros are sampling perhaps the worst beer of bad beer month, which is Icehouse by Plank Road. There's not much history to be explored with this brewery, so we instead take a look at the history of iced beers and the controversy of who has the first! Paired with this disgusting brew is Julia A. Moore's poem "Grand Rapids" which stuns the Bros with the sheer amount of repetition contained within. The life of Moore is enough to make up for this terrible poem, however, as we see another poet who just didn't realize their writing was bad until it was far too late. Join use as we deconstruct these two terrible products, what makes them bad, and all the side tracks we can do down along the way.

Cheers!
