American Pale Males

Memories. A very special episode. Jeremy takes a walk down homebrew memory lane, by having what was perhaps the last Drinkenstein's Monster. Michael had a St. Bernardus Tripel. Next, we celebrate our 5th Anniversary with some stats! But then, the episode becomes even more specialer. Get ready for some classic callbacks and recollections. Hop on the lawnmower with Nic Cage and Stephen King while munching an apricot and head to the set of Cheers. There is plenty of beerosity and bourbonity  at that foodrinkery as we wait for jabroni summer. We then get back to business, starting up the FDR. What liquid surrounds the bubels in the Duvels? (see below)Beer in this episode: Delirium TremensCheers!

A Shattered Dreams production... Jeremy says he has no fear getting back onto the bike, despite his reptile brain. He then reveals he tried a Saint Archer Gold and tells us all about it. Michael discusses some famous SOLVED mysteries, including Umbrella Man, Bigfoot, Anastasiaz, The Bloop, and the Bermuda Triangle. But all that stuff is bogus, the real mystery is what is in bag "C"? We try it, read two 5 star reviews from BA, then rank & rate. Pip pip, I salute you President Kennedy.Beer in this episode: NaturdaysCheers!

Michael attempts to bring up Wu Tang, but Jeremy is not biting. Instead, Jeremy transitions to his beer brag, Stone Scorpion Bowl. Somehow Slipknot comes up. Michael asks some intro questions to bring up childhood stories, including the weirdest place to fall asleep and the best lie. Jeremy declines a headcheese sub sandwich. We then get into the FDR, continuing the Magical Mystery Brew series. Jeremy opens bag "B" and is dismayed. Fortunately, Michael has some experimental tricks up his sleeve in an attempt to make things better.Beer in this episode: Icehouse EdgeCheers!

The Magical Mystery Brew is dying to take you away... but more on that later. Jeremy has a sneak peek at Big Grove's birthday treat. Michael gets Jeremy to say a "swear" for his beer brag. And then, Brews News, NEW BUD PRODUCT ALERT... but we are rather jaded. After all, "The dorks will always have the street cred that Bud will never have." Then, it's time for the FDR. About a month ago, Michael handed Jeremy a box of "brews" all wrapped in brown paper bags. Today, he finds out what one of those drinks is.Beer in this episode: Steele Reserve Alloy Series Tropical StormCheers!

The lads wrap up the dark hole series, commenting that a dark hole is not a black hole, so light can escape. Jeremy has a poorly aged peanut butter porter, while Michael has a delicious and robust peanut butter stout. Jeremy then entices with peanut butter whiskey. Michael then launches into some "intro questions" for Jeremy, which bring up tails of yore about terrible defeat and playgrounds. Finally, we get into the FDR, where a variant of a previously lauded brew takes it to the next level.Beer in this episode: Peace Tree Triple BCheers!

We start on time(.gov). Michael explores the dark hole outside the podcast, enjoying Trois Pistoles. Jeremy gets into Hazier Things at Big Grove. Michael then launches a quiz about dark black holes in fiction, specifically film, which brings up movies of yore. We then get into the FDR, where a chocolaty brew hits one note well, somewhat catching us off guard.Beer in this episode: Atwater Decandent Dark Chocolate AleCheers!

Uh oh. Jeremy has put in hair extensions and is hopping and spinning around up on the stage. Michael ponders on Spotted Cow. Jeremy rocks out to Sleigh'r from Ninkasi. Next, a new segment "Would You Do It?", a spin-off from Brew News. Items include Session IPAs vs new generation light IPAs, Bulk pHaze, and a seltzer fest. Does this beer reek? Finally, we get into the FDR, where a Imperial Stout causes our wheels to spin. Oh no. Are we too far down the dark hole? Diddy Kong, save us!Beer in this episode: Central Water Satin SolitudeCheers!

We've done it. We went too close to the dark hole and got sucked in past the event horizon. We are speghettified. Before that though, Jeremy had a Super NES, along with some Oscar trivia. Michael had Guinness Stock Ale. We go back and talk more about the Oscars, seeing how well we did with our predictions. Jeremy recalls seeing a woman in a dress covered in pseudo-mirrory stuff. Then we get into the FDR. In an attempt to go foreign and dark with the beer, something bad happens (that's the dark hole thing I was talking about earlier).Beer in this episode: McAuslan St. Ambroise Oatmeal StoutCheers!

Michael laments a Beer Bomb that Jeremy can also confirm, but it at least has some semblance of relevance to the FDR later. On the contrary, Jeremy enjoys a PB porter from Contrary. We then get into THE BIG GAME stuff, mainly focusing on the beer commercials that aired. We then take a historical look back at a few products. We cap it off by discussing different Bowl. Finally, we get into the FDR, where an offering from the East proves to be the darkest brew that we've tried so far in the Dark Hole series. How will it fare in the taste department though?Beer in this episode: Nitachino Nest Espresso PorterCheers!

Jeremy brags about a growler fill of a much lauded creamsicle version of Juice Factory. Michael talks about Something Dark once again. Then, buckle up, we talk Oscars, picking Jerome's brain on the nominees in the big four categories. Who do we want to win? Who will win? Will Jeremy get mad? Then we move on to the FDR, where we continue down the Dark Hole Series and have a traditional style that we do not have often on the show. Unlicensed Darth Vader shows up too.Beer in this episode: Next Door Darth PorterCheers!

Alfred Hitchcock's silhouette looms as we get into beer brags. Michael has a limited run peanut butter stout, which was most superb. Jeremy has a Berliner Weiss that tickled his fancy. Going from beer, we make an abrupt turn into the AI Dungeon, which throws a few abrupt turns back at us. Join Ser Gumbel as he faces the dragon,  gamblers, and his own family. With that nonsense out of the way, we get into the FDR, where we spray a tanker truck full of milk stout into the wrestling ring.Beer in this episode: Confluence Milk ManCheers!

An ad-hoc intro leads to some B-level band talk. Like that band that sang about a chair in the room... or something? Did that lead singer die? For beer brags, Michael celebrates with a Celebrator and Jeremy Keeps 'er Movin'. Jeremy has the inside track on Bud Light Seltzer. Prepare to be inundated. Michael then puts a halt on the interesting topic in order to bring back the Painstakingly Detailed Oblivion Recap, where we learn Jeremy liberated Krotch. Finally, we get into the FDR, where we awaken an ancient one to see if it is still a contender.Beer in this episode: Schell's BockCheers!

Welcome to IL Dope Boyz. Before that though, beer brags. Jeremy has a bevy of brews in Wisconsin, noting one from Ale Asylum. Michael has a little uzi vert ical "flight" of Yule from Boom Island. We then talk about the legalization of recreational cannabis in Illinois, using our crystal ball to predict its future and impact on beer. Finally, it is time for the FDR, where we have a brew that was previously sampled on the show about two years ago. However, things have changed, and that might make all the difference. Did they "Poochie" the beer?!Beer in this episode: Newcastle Brown AleCheers!

Michael has an Oddball beer, which was supposed to equate to a regular brew, but turns out to be odd anyway. Researcher Jeremy puts his thoughts on Backpocket Brewing to the test and comes out with significant results, rejecting the null hypothesis. Meanwhile, it turns out that England is no country for hard seltzer. Then, the FDR. We throw down a foamy brew, but we probably botched it, leading to some wanginess.Beer in this episode: Reunion HefeweizenCheers!

Welcome to the end of the year episode. We cut right to the chase, reviewing the beers we had on the show this year and picking our favorites for various categories. Starting off with the lighter "awards", we pick the best beer name of the year, the adjunct of the year, and best bottle/can artwork. We then pick the brewery of the year, worst beer of the year, and then pick our Beer of the Year for 2019. Finally, we go through some highlights for our 2019 episodes and end with our annual New Beers Resolutions.Cheers!

In the penultimate episode of the year, we take the time to sit back and... do what we usually do every episode. Starting with beer brags, Michael has a Polish bock, with a purportedly secretive process. Jeremy gets down with a coffee brew from Bell's. We then get into some big news (which due to some timey wimey stuff, we are a bit late on) that ripped through the craft brew world a few weeks earlier. Don't worry, our keen insight makes up for the delay in discussion. Right. Next we get into the FDR, which has nothing to do with any of the above, because it is simply the final brew in "The Uniques" series of beers. How will the last contender from mid-Illinois fare?Beer in this episode: Matthiessen English MildCheers!

Welcome to the podcast, with your hosts Michael and Jinglebell Jeremy. JBJ brags about a brut IPA from Firetrucker that he had while watching the Lighthouse. (It is a movie.) Michael recommends "It Was a Fine Luncheon". Due to our lack of wintery beers on the show, despite being in season, we talk winter warmers and hypothesize one of our own. We then discuss "The Bride of Drinkenstein" as a potential sequel to a previous homebrew. Finally we get into the FDR, where we have another one of The Uniques. Do we lambaste kraisins? Listen and find out?Beer in this episode: De Stihl Hawaii Five AleCheers!

Michael immediately enters the Tailgates of Hell (the final one for the year), asking Jeremy about Corona. The insipid beer talk is worthwhile though as we get a good tip for cooking chili. Jeremy brags about having the ultimate freshly hopped beer care of Iowa Brewing Company. Then, prefacing a new miniseries, Michael brings up a list of various unique brews that the lads discuss. Jeremy must decide to put it down his gullet or put it down his terlet. Finally, we get into the FDR. Craisins of the Show gifted some brews to us, calling them "The Uniques". This beer is the first in that series of brews.Beer in this episode: Tangled Roots Belgian WitCheers!

Jeremy rocks an iron intro. Michael's remembers Grandpa's Got a Gun. Jeremy also shares a beer brag of his own (can you tell that I forgot what it was by that generic statement?) Then we commence to DESTROY ART quiz. God, that doesn't work, but I am not up for thinking of better wordplay. Look, these all can't be winners as you may have surmised and I am just not feeling it this week. However, we were feeling this week's FDR, which got a lengthy review.Beer in this episode: Untitled Art Brut Rose IPACheers!

Note: Audio is a little wonky in places, but should not be too disruptive.2nd note: Zwan was a relatively short-lived band headed by Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame.Jeremy starts playing Oblivion and talks about. Michael is surprised that Jeremy started playing the game and more surprised that he actually made the joke segment a reality. Either way, it is good. Michael brags about having the original German eisbock, while Jeremy has a couple of saisons from Wake Brewing. Inspired by Mike's check in, Michael reports on choice pumpkin brews for this year, in a retrospective, why-didn't-we-do-that segment. Perhaps they are suggestions to think about considering the mixed/lackluster ones we had on the show. In the FDR, it's the final pumpkin beer of the year and it comes from a macrobrewery... could the answer been in front of our faces all along?Beer in this episode: Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin WheatCheers!

Uh oh... secrets of the wrestling ring revealed with this ep. Wrestler X Jeremy spills all the trade secrets before bragging about Radicatz, a NEIPA. Meanwhile, Michael had Jeremy's wedding party gift beer, Snowball Saison, and brags about it. Next, we have questions for Jeremy. Does he wear a hat? Does he like Attack on Titan? An encounter with a drunk scandalous Luigi (that should have been the episode title) is revealed. Finally we get into the FDR, where high hopes might be dashed upon the rocks of the shoreline. It is hard to get the spices just right.Beer in this episode: Lexington Brewing Kentucky Pumpkin Barrel AleCheers!

We are doing pretty, well... well this ep. Michael recovers from a nasty nasty "brew" that he had, while Jeremy mirthfully recalls the flight he had at the Peace Tree taproom. Next, we get into a long overdue Brews News segment, focusing on Founders and then transitioning to the FDR brewery, which made its own newsworthy waves earlier in the year. Clean the biofilm from your mucus membranes, because we have another pumpkin beer to try.Beer in this episode: Dogfish Head Punkin AleCheers!

We are back, both Michael and the Evergreen Jeremy. EGJ opens with a "King" brag before transitioning to the obligatory beer brag, which involves a light beer that clocks in at over 8% ABV. Michael then puts a bow on the previous month, getting into final thoughts on the Oktoberfest style and bragging about two that he had. We then switch gears, getting into a topic literally adjacent to this week's brewery... ancient pyramids hidden under a lake in Wisconsin. Michael introduces sources that go deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Before going mad, we escape to the FDR, kicking off an entire month of pumpkin beers! (exclaimation point)Beer in this episode: Tyranena Painted LadiesCheers!

Welcome to a very special live edition of the podcast. Jeremy and Michael hit the road, recording while going to an Octoberfest [sic] celebration. On the way, Jeremy recaps his experience at Film Scream, the late night horror movie marathon. Afterwards, we arrive at our destination. What lies within the the Octoberfest [sic] tent? Many brews to sample and review?Beer in this episode: Genesee Ice BeerCheers!

Jeremy has a new IPA from New Belgium (apparently voted in by the crowd) which he gives tepid accolades. Michael recalls imbibing an Oktoberfest as the two lament the bizarre examples of the style they've tried so far this year. We talk local GABF winners, which devolves into complaining about conventions. Then we get into the FDR, where another Oktoberfest graces our studios. Like the others, this one gets weird.Beer in this episode: Erdinger OktoberfestCheers!

For a change, Michael has a German beer that does not get lauded, while Jeremy says Aloha to pineapple. We then tear open the tailgates of hell, going over Jeremy's informal poll and lambasting new products. Could some of these cans be taken in at work? Probably not. We then get into the FDR, where something does not sit quite right.Beer in this episode: Odell OktoberfestCheers!

Yes yes, bad evening to one and all. Jeremy has a trivia misadventure while confirming last week's rating. Michael tries Ruthie's balancing act. Dark Lord is not so lordy. Ok, now that the chungus is out of the way, onto what we've all been waiting for: The 1st Annual Lawnmower Man Awards. We pick a winner after much ricititude, debate, and... 3-2-1 contact! I can't tell you the winner here though, you have to listen. We then get into the FDR where one of the Big Six straddles the style line to deliver a nicely balanced triangle of flavor. O'zapft is!Beer in this episode: Paulaner Oktoberfest WiesnCheers!

After a seamless absence, we are back. Jeremy and Michael regale all with tales from the wedding, including a beer analysis, both financial and flavorful. Jeremy also details into his botanical booze bonanza that he received for wedding gifts. Interior crocodile alligator, Jeremy went to a new movie thee-ater. He had Stone's NEIPA, but brushes it aside to laud the new film digs. Michael teases the upcoming 1st Annual Lawn Mower Man Awards. We then get into the FDR, where a transcontinental collaboration attempts to harmonize American and German Oktoberfests. Does it succeed?Beer in this episode: Sierra Nevada OktoberfestCheers!

An impromptu intro spurs a discussion on full "blank" breakfasts, which degenerates into drinking blood. Beer brags saves the day with Michael trying a brew innoculated with Kviek yeast. Jeremy introduces The Tailgates of Hell before describing the lupulin laden Hop Bullet that he had. We then turn to the machine for some respite. In the FDR, we go to an old classic from the old world. No, the other original old classic.Beer in this episode: Guinness Extra StoutCheers!

Jeremy does a Victory Dance and sings the praises of Single Speed Brewing. Michael has an ice cream make brag instead of a beer brag. Jeremy then masterfully engages with a Simpsons quiz related to the country of origin for our beer this week. This evolves into big studio talk. Next we get into the FDR, where the APM Pod World Tour continues through Europe. Will the land of pure beer save us from the "mehs" of FDRs past?Beer in this episode: Krombacher DarkCheers!

Breaking Action News! There is a beer brags desk. I repeat, there is a beer brags desk. Jeremy's been lugging it all over the globe to supply us with a beer brag. But first, trivia. Jeremy has a question that seemingly nobody that he knows has gotten 100% correct. Can you? We talk sports books before Michael proposes an experiment to get to the bottom of green bottled beers. Jeremy opines on sloshy over-foamed mugs. Then we get into the FDR, where after a history lesson, we split some hairs and pick some nits to parse a so-called French beer.Beer in this episode: Kronenbourg 1664Cheers!

In the much awaited sequel to Rullepølse Analogy, Jeremy explains his consumption of marshmallow flavored energy drink and ponders his caffeinated future. Then he brags about Big Eddy and some other schweppe IPAs. Michael has found the pinnacle of summer beers. The plane lands in Denmark (that bit is still going) so Jeremy shares some info on Danish delights and beard growing contests. We get into the FDR, which is a bit of a throwback as we go into the country, brewery, and beer a little more than usual, since it is our first foray into the area. Facts abound, will this European pale lager raise or furrow the brows of these malty drinking night drinkers?Beer in this episode: CarlsbergCheers!

We botch the world tour again. We kick it off with some seltzer... brags? And speculate on the future of the beverage, noting some new players in the field, leading to the Akira-like growth of the marketplace. Jeremy almost falls for a 17% ABV hoax. We then get back to beer with the FDR, but is it good enough to save us from seltzer talk? What is happening to the world?Beer in this episode: Sapporo PremiumCheers!

Beer brags. After a live podcast show, Jerome has a brew that combines multiple styles and... wine grapes? Michael has another yella beer, this time a kolsch. Next, we embark on our new series, The American Pale Males World Tour. Ditching the roads of Iowa, we take flight, trying major beer brands from around the globe... or at least seemingly from around the globe. First up is Japan. Michael starts the festivities with the Big in Japan Quiz. Despite sumos, earthquakes, and movies, the digressions start. For example, did you know that Jeremy worked at ShopKo? They continue into the FDR, where a "first press" beer tries to impress.Beer in this episode: Kirin IchibanCheers!

A follow-up episode to Jeremy's bachelor party, Michael and Jeremy regale listeners with tales of beer brags, party buses, and breweries - specifically Thew, Quarter Barrel, Lion Bridge, and Big Grove. Michael dumps on an energy drink as it impaired him playing The Resistance. Boozy cherries and zipper flies enter the mix. We finally move on to the FDR. Within, Jeremy attempts to invent a new unit of measurement (instead of simply converting ounces into milliliters), we discuss Malort, and remember Blue Razz? It's back, in Pog form. Oh, and we also have the largest disparity in beer ratings of all time.Beer in this episode: Deschutes Da Shootz!Cheers!

Jeremy has a grisette beer. Do you know what that is? I did not. Michael's Diet Starts Tomorrow, leading to Karben4 chat. We then talk about a revealing article written by Josh Noel on hard seltzers, which leads to griping. Then we get into the FDR, where a hefeweizen flexes its unexpected muscles.Beer in this episode: New Glarus Dancing Man WheatCheers!

We get off to a roaring start. Michael conducts an investigation on post-apocalyptic Goose IPA. This triggers Jeremy to rant about the Pitchfork music festival (there is an apt connection). Jeremy then brags about Reunion IPA. Next, we head to the last stop of our Iowa Roadtrip Series. Of course, we first stop at a few places along the way, including the Statue of Liberty*, the Sword in the Stone*, and the Tom Jones Tribute Bathroom (this one does not require any asterisk). Finally, it is the final FDR for the series finale - where a brut legend from beer brags of yore genteelly glides in and makes its mark.Beer in this episode: Confluence Brute's BestCheers!

All hail Plantor, the world's largest trowel. Jeremy finally gets redemption from his elbow and can see Slayer. Michael is reminded of the Beavis and Butthead/Cher collaboration, then brags about a couple of Kalona brews. Jeremy talks about a band named Jucifer and a beer called Juicifer. We trundle along on the Iowa Roadtrip, stopping by a few BIG sights in Des Moines. Jeremy is watching the Deer Hunter and is inspired to ask a trivia question. Finally, we get into the FDR, where a gifted brew is vetted.Beer in this episode: Confluence South Side Citra BlondeCheers!

Michael brings up some Nu Metal chungus, catching Jeremy off guard. Jeremy has a wacky pack, featuring a gelatinous cube and a nice donuty orange hibiscus brew. Michael experiences Deliria. Next stop: Knoxville! Knoxville! (Iowa) for some road side attractions. We visit the Museum of Traffic Control, see the largest Dutch windmill in the US, and see graves of some government mules. No trip is complete without the obligatory Stephen King digression, as we realize that The Shining is the prequel to Up. Eventually, we meander toward the FDR, where a brew evokes memories of the past and some deep discussion.Beer in this episode: Peace Tree Blonde FataleCheers!

Jeremy briefly checks in on his "Hook's Books" goal before asking Michael for a beer brag. Michael pivots, talking a couple a beer bombs that he barely dodged when selecting for a flight, including a blueberry infused Spotted Cow. Jeremy responds with something that could be even worse - Lemon Tea Bud Light. He then discusses a coffee IPA he had from Single Speed (returning to brags, not bombs). Starting into the Iowa Road Trip Series, Michael throws out a quiz on Iowan state symbols, adding his own bonus question on an Iowan city west of the Missouri River. We continue on, stopping at places in Waterloo and Decorah.  We check out the Galleria de Paco, The Dan Gable Museum, Decorah's Ice Cave, and Pulpit Rock. Finally, we stop the car to quaff this weeks FDR.Beer in this episode: Single Speed/Pulpit Rock Coconut MigrationCheers!

We get right into the beer brags, where Michael uncharacteristically has a hazy IPA and Jeremy characteristically has a double IPA. We then shift to the Iowa Roadtrip Series, stopping by some Cedar Rapids roadside attractions, shouting out the freakish Bart Simpson tree before we depart. In town, we see the Weenie Plane, Crashing Seagulls, and the Seedling Mile. But it is not just with our eyes that we experience Cedar Rapids, as we also can smell it. Five times. We become the weather podcast, then finally get into the FDR (with a few more sidetracks on Paul Hindenburg and the Dandy Warhols).Beer in this episode: Iowa Brewing Company Bohemian RapidsCheers!

And we're back. Michael brags on a locally made quad, exquisitely named Midwestvleteren. J-Hook brags on a bevy of Surly brews including a barrel-hopped, barrel-conditioned, dry-hopped, Mexican-style lager and a spicy Helles yes. Michael picks Jeremy's brain on the top horror movie icon in a fluidly moderated tournament where Jason, Freddie, Pinhead, Chucky, Michael Myers, Jigsaw, Texas Chainsaw Guy, and It all compete for the title. Finally, we get into the FDR, featuring the return of Environmentale. TANG. Will this refreshing summer brew stand up to the test?Beer in this episode: Lionbridge TagCheers!

In a rare occurrence, Michael brags the exact beer that Jeremy was extolling last week, the Confluence Brut IPA. Michael agrees with Jeremy. Meanwhile Jeremy has a confusingly branded UFO Georgia Peach Hefeweizen. Michael drop a bomb by revealing the 0th Annual Lawnmower Man Awards will happen right now. Who will be this, I mean, last year's winner? We then segue to the FDR, introducing our new summer series The Iowa Roadtrip (aka RAGCRY). We talk Solon, Iowa (where the brew hails from), RAGBRAI, the beer itself. It's anything, but a good anything.Beer in this episode: Big Grove TailwindCheers!

Join us as we find out why Trent Reznor is happy. Jeremy brags about a Reunion Hefe and a Firestone hazy. Michael opens the American Pale Mail Pail to talk eye openers and a new brew idea (remember Belgian IPAs?) Since jabroni summer is in full swing, we bring up lawnmower beers yet again, floating the idea of an annual award. Jeremy blames Michael for the poor FDR selection, but we are shocked when we taste it. Throw in a few pineapple facts, 4 Loko H, and a nun for good measure and you have a perfectly Mikesable episode.Beer in this episode: Steel Reserve Hard PineappleCheers!

We open up with some tornado talk, recalling our post-tornado walkabout from days of yore. Jeremy also remembers an unofficial tornado drink, before bragging about finally getting his hands on a Brut IPA that can stand toe to toe with the Brut IPA legend. After an interruption from some non-RVD rolling thunder, we get into the FDR and the primary hop within, but are immediately sidetracked by Velvet Revolver. Jeremy comes up with a new invention for the Shark Tank before we give our Pick of the Pack Lock of the Week for this sample pack from Stone.Beer in this episode: Hop Revolver IPA (Nelson Sauvin)Cheers!

No taglines allowed. Michael gives a brag upon a lager, but Jeremy brings the cake (?), recalling his experience at Dark Lord Day. He casually mentions a few sweet brews he had and reveals the varient he nabbed. We then move into the final installment of Watch the Thrones, a segment Michael forgot all about. Bidding an old friend farewell, we move onto the FDR, where we have the third brew in our 2nd Spring Sampler Series. We nod to the jabronis, talk about Dyer, then recall party Thursdays of yore... all while enjoying a brew. Something about a ghost.Beer in this episode: Stone Ghost Hammer IPACheers!

Now entering Old Man Corner, it's the APM Podcast. Jeremy goes over the Dark Lord Variants, one of which he will have by the time this airs. Leaving the ghost of future beer brags behind, we move on to the past. Michael brags about a 5-star brew he had along with the 5-star glass it was served in. Jeremy discusses a IBC barrel aged beer made with Vietnamese coffee. Since we are finally on a more contemporary schedule, we talk Avengers Endgame. Then we get into the FDR, where we decide if this is delicious.Beer in this episode: Stone Delicious IPACheers!

After a hiatus that you may have not even known about, we are back. Jeremy, the apt pupil, gets sidetracked into talking about Stephen King. Then we smash cut to beer brags, where Michael discusses the Korean beer industry. Jeremy ponders other international scenes with Michael, before bringing it back stateside with a brag from Reunion, right in his own back yard. Jeremy podcast pitches Disgraceland. Finally, it is time for the FDR, where we introduce the sequel to the Spring Sampler Series, Sample Harder.Beer in this episode: Stone Tangerine Express IPACheers!

If they catch us, we all going to die! Imagine that, but cheerful. That is what Jeremy brings to the table. Michael notes his Trap 8 experiment is taking off. Jeremy hears the Goose Song of Honker's Ale. Then we take an attempt at a quiz about beer. Yes, beer. Finally, it is time for the FDR and the last brew in this round of the Spring Sampler Series. We also discuss the L.O.P. and the pack as a whole.Beer in this episode: Left Hand Juicy GoodnessCheers!

Michael has a maibock. Jeremy takes a ride on the long tail and has a Budweiser Copper Lager. Mix Master Mike messages in with a question about mixing, prompting a discussion on half-Guinness pours. All aboard the dandy horse for a quiz on transportation (most of which winds up on the cutting room floor). Finally, the FDR, where we have the third brew in our Spring Sampler Series.Beer in this episode: Left Hand Travelin' LightCheers!

You are now entering the Twilight Zone (great pinball machine btw). Hairemy had a Sierra Nevada Brut IPA but like time and time again it cannot match his previous Brut IPA experience. ("Time and time" is a running theme in this podcast.) This conjures memor(y)ies of Bud Dry and a fact finding mission. Michael has Leffe Blonde, Paulaner Oktoberfest, and Pilsner Urquell. We continue the random internet quiz series with a Peep quiz that grosses Jeremy out. We continue our Spring Sampler Series with another from Left Hand, exploring Azacca hops and wild tangents.Beer in this episode: Left Hand IPACheers!
