The Weekly Scramble

The Weekly Scramble features Mike Frattallone and Chris Reuvers’ light hearted look at daily life in the State of Minnesota. Twice a week they bring their unique, common-sense conservatives approach to the current headlines. Logical and witty, funny, smart and maybe a little too opinionated, Mike and Chris are here to help make sense of the nonsense facing Minnesotans.

I was today’s years old when I learned. . .

I did not know the Weekly Scramble had its own feed! Fun to listen to, join the Fratt Pack, Cheers!

Elite Guests, Incompetent Hosts

If you want to hear 2 Michelob Golden Light Drinkers interview craft brewers not knowing a thing about the brewery, this is the show for you! It must be exhausting for the Elevated Beer, Wine, and Spirits staff member to cover for the hosts’ ignorance. In the episode interviewing Sociable Cider Works, the host loved the taproom but didn’t know Sociable also brews beer and also asked how Rose (wine) differs from pink ciders (apples). Total incompetence.

Give us more Mike G.!

Just listened to the Drekker episode and loved the angle of questioning from Mike, the guest host. Beer needs that kind of intelligence and inquisitiveness exploring the people and processes behind it!

Outstanding show

Fun, informative and awesome guests
ElevatedIsTheBest

Yes! I love Elevated BWS!

So happy the Beer Show is now on iTunes now! I'm usually working when it's on live and it's so much easier to get it on the podcast later that day! Also love the staff at Elevated in white bear! The best!

Omg, I love it. It's like Jesus giving me a wet kiss in my ear.
