Shownotes Transcript

This week we're talking about the origin of Cinco de Mayo - the victory of Mexican troops over the French army at the battle of Puebla in 1862 during the Second French Intervention in Mexico. We also discuss the commercialization of the holiday by American beer companies and the delusional plight of the hipster emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. Plus, we're tasting/smelling some Mexican cervezas.
