In between full length episodes of Cheers Charlotte you’ll get these 10-20 minute episodes of Weezie’s 12. Each week is a different person sometimes suggested by a previous guest of the show, but always someone interesting and creative.

This week Weezie talks with Sam Fitz from D.C. based Anxo Cidery. Sam did a zoom talk on his cider in 2020 with Weezie in attendance and his knowledge of the segment is astounding. So he thought he would be great to have on and get his answers to the 12 questions. Look for Anxo ciders all over North Carolina and if you dont see it, ask for it.
