In this week’s extra long Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast, we deep dive into George Orwell’s iconic 1984. While drinking three different Rebel IPAs from Sam Adams and Founders Brewing’s Dissenter 2014, we discuss the legacy of the novel, how much Orwell predicted correctly, Norway (for barely explicable reasons), surveillance, and perhaps not surprisingly a certain world leader who is very active on social media.
