#BeerswithBorrie

We are done! Day 24, Christmas Eve, and it's NOT what I was expecting. A festbier. Oh well. Maybe next year we get to finish with a Doppelbock? I don't know. Regardless, here are my thoughts on the beer, and my ideas going forward for the podcast. I hope you all have a great holiday season and I hope you enjoy the last episode of this calendar. Cheers and Prost!! Music by artlist.io Joley - Pine

Well, well, well. Did I call it or did I call it? :facepalm: Day 23 brings us another Helles lager, 5% abv, but it turns out to be the best of the lot. Who would've guessed it? Not me, that's for sure. Listen in to hear my thoughts on it. I hope you all enjoy! Cheers and Prost!! Music by artlist.io Aves - Vegan Chicken Nuggets

We made it to Friday and Day 22. Welcome to my review of the Der Schwarze Bock. A very nice beer to finish out the work week. It is a repeat beer from last year but it is still a very good beer and I enjoyed it last year as well. I hope you enjoy and have a great holiday weekend! Cheers! Prost!

Welp, another episode served as a double serving. Day 20 and 21 bring us 2 similar looking beers but both being vastly different in every other way. Sorry again for the missed day but please enjoy the 2 beers and the episode. Cheers and Prost!!

Welcome back to Day 19. We have today an export lager, Alpen Stoff 5.6% abv, that teases you all the way until the end. Unfortunate for a Taco Tuesday. Hear my thoughts inside today's episode. Cheers and Prost! Music by artlist.io Aves - Golden Bells

Well, I got one of my wishes from yesterday's episode ha! Weininger Hoamat Weissbier, 5.6% abv. It's a repeat from last year's calendar, day 13 to be exact, but still a solid offering for the last week of the calendar and heading into the holiday weekend. Listen in to hear my brief thoughts. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers! Music by artlist.io T. Bless & The Professionals - Auld Lang Syne

Welcome to Sunday Funday and it's a good one, beerwise, at least. Schwarze Tinte Collab Stout, 6.3% abv. This is a repeat from last year but better. Much better. I didn't like last year's at all. Smelled like carbonated Coke soda. Not good. This year? Leaps better. Hear my detailed thoughts in today's episode. Cheers and Prost!! Music by artlist.io Lalinia - [ctrl]

Double feature/trouble yet again. Day 15 and 16 brings us a Ying and a Yang of beers. 15 is Schlossbräu Rheder Märzen which was the Ying and 16 was Klosterbräu Bamberger Rauchbier and that is the Yang. Which one did I enjoy of the analogy? Listen in to find out. Cheers and Prost!! Music by artlist.io Seth Parson - The Sun Is Out

Day 13 and hump day! Boy what a day it was. I'm glad it's over and I'm even more glad today's beer is a new one. Bären Weisse was the perfect way to end today, personally. "A rough day" would be an understatement. Listen in to hear my thoughts. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it. CHEERS! Music by artlist.io Skygaze - Open Air Kiss

Double treat for you all since I was too tired to record after work on Monday, Day 11. Flötzinger Hell was Day 11 and Fürst Carl Kellerbier was Day 12. Tune in for my thoughts on both. Spoiler, I don't have music in the background as I need to download more tracks for you(my) pleasure. CHEERS!

Day 10 for Sunday Funday was a winner. A lovely way to finish out the week with a 7.1% abv Weiss Bock. Great color, aroma, and flavor. Listen in for the rest of my thoughts. CHEERS! Music by artlist.io Orian Rose - Drunken Love

Happy Saturday or weekend! Day 9 is upon us and we have a repeat beer from last year, Turbo Prop Imperial Pils. I had my concerns with this one but it ended up being ok. Listen in to hear the rest of my thoughts. CHEERS and PROST!! Music by artlist.io Shai-li Paldi - Wakening

Evening, afternoon, or morning? Day drinking is perfectly fine as long as you are napping as well. Day 4 brings us yet again another repeat, Kirta Dunkles Weissbier or Dunkleweiss.

Hi everyone. Welcome in any new listeners and welcome back to continued listeners. Day 1 starts with an Export Helles from Falter. Listen in on my thoughts and also on why this bier calendar is extra special. Thanks for listening! Cheers!! Track from artlist.io Shai-li Paldi - Point of View

I finally did it. I edited the Porter episode. This was, again, recorded live during my live stream of the same title almost 1yr and 1/2 ago. This was 2 weeks after the Stout episode, which was the last Podcast episode I uploaded. You following me? Lol. I discuss the history of the style, I don't remember if I had a beer to go with the discussion so the episode picture may not be accurate. I basically looked for a nicely edited picture in my albums that was of a dark beer, that could resemble a Porter. Regardless of that, please enjoy the episode. Cheers and Prost!!

Welcome back friends and family. The long awaited but not anticipated Stout episode I recorded over a year and a half ago is here. I review Guiness's Chocolate Mint Bourbon Stout from the Maryland brewery just outside of Baltmur(Baltimore for you foreigners hehe), and I also discuss the history of the style as written in The Oxford Companion to Beer. I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think of the episode. Cheers! Music by Samurai Royal - "Coffee Break" Licensed by Artlist.io

Listen in on my thoughts on Day 24, Ladenburger Weizenbock Hell, and my recap on the entire advent calendar. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Mansij - "Easy Escapes" Licensed by Artlist.io

Fri Day 23...yeah that didn't work. Friday and it's Day 23 of the calendar and we have another repeat and another helles. Flotzinger Hell. 5% which is on par as most Helles Lagers. Tune in to hear my thoughts on it as we approach the final day of our Advent Calendar. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Nobou - "Feeling Good" Licensed by Artlist.io

Day 22 for Thirsty Thursday is a repeat from Day 3 last year. 5.3% abv Pale Lager brewed in the style of a Marzen. Really really solid beer. Sort of bummed it's a repeat but still really tasty. "How tasty is it Borrie?" Listen to the episode to find out JIMMY. Cheers and Prost! Music by Fat Banana - "Kicktracks" Licensed by Artlist.io

Welp, I stand corrected. We got a new beer from a repeat brewery instead for HUMPDAY! Perlenzauber German Pale Ale, 5.4% abv, also from Privatbrauerei H. Egerer. And much like the IPA from a couple of days ago, past it's prime. Literally....just listen to the episode. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Yestalgia - "Stylish" Licensed by Artlist.io

Welcome back and for Taco Tuesday, we have another repeat....sigh, Erlbrau's Erl Hell, 5% abv. A solid beer and Helles lager, not taking that away from them but it's looking like I may have jinxed myself over the weekend in saying we should be getting "new" beers for the last week...Take a listen in for further details lol Cheers and Prost!!

Welcome back to the home stretch. Day 19, Monday, and it's not a great start. Perlenzauber IPA, 6% abv. It is a repeat beer but it's well past it's 90 day IPA threshold. No bueno. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Cheers and Prost!!

Finishing the weekend with a nice beer but a repeat beer from last year's calendar. Privatbrauerei H. Egerer Wiener Lager, 5.1% abv. Great looking beer, delivering solid aromas and taste. I could drink this all day. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Cheers and Prost!!

Day 17 starts the weekend and it starts with a repeat beer from last year's calendar(day 11, which funny enough, was also a Saturday), Familienbrauerei Schwarzebrau Helles, 4.8% abv. Another short one as this was had last year and nothing has changed. Tune in for my quick thoughts and hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Cheers and Prost!!

Day 16 sends us off into the weekend with a fest...bier. Herrnbrau Tradition Festbier to be exact. 5.5% abv. Let's see how we get to start our weekend shall we? Tune in for the details. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Lolek - "Cruise Control" Licensed by Artlist.io

HELLO THIRSTY THURSDAY! Sorry for yelling. Day 15 is upon us and boy is it exciting. New brewery this year, UberQuell and their Bambule Pilsener, 5% abv. Wild label art which had to be paired with one my coolest glasses. Listen in for my thoughts. Cheers and Prost.

Humpday! Day 14 brings us a new beer from a repeat brewery. Kauzle Helles Lager, 5.2% abv. Last year we had their German Pilsner on day 9. Not much to say about this one but I still do ramble on like normal. It's fun haha. Cheers and Prost!!

Day 13 for Taco Tuesday is as good as the day itself. Wieninger Weissbier, 5.6% abv, and it's lovely. A repeat beer from last year's calendar but it doesn't matter. Still a great beer. Listen in to hear my thoughts and hear me ramble will ya? Cheers and Prost!! Music by Peter Spacey - "Future Groove feat. Floating Anarchy Licensed by Artlist.io

Day 12, this year, is a repeat beer from last year's calendar(Day 5) from Teisnacher 1543 Festmarzen, 5.4% abv. Unfiltered Marzen's are very rare as most are presented clean and crisp. This brings new character to the style, which I love. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this year's edition. Cheers and Prost!!

Day 11 brings us to the end of the week with a new brewery but not a new style. Schlossbrauerei Hohenthann's Helles Lagerbier, 5% abv. Very classic aromas, flavors, and presentation. Tune in to hear my thoughts. Thanks for listening everyone! Cheers and Prost!!

Happy Saturday and welcome to Day 10. Unserbrau's Alpen Stoff, 5.6% abv. Available almost everywhere in Germany, yet I never bought it. Shame as it's really really good. Listen in on the rest of my thoughts. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Anchor's background music engine.

Friday!! Day 10!! LET'S GOOOOOO!!! Schloss Brauerei Herrngiersdorf Hallertauer Hopfen Cuvee, 5.3% abv. Winner. This is a great beer. Listen in to hear my more detailed thoughts on it. Enjoy your weekend, stay safe, and we'll see ya on Day 10! Cheers and Prost!!

Day 8 is a quirky one. Maybe mislabeled? Maybe it's lost in translation? Either way, this isn't what it's labeled as. 5.6% abv is where it comes in at. But my thoughts? Well, click play and listen in. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Curtis Cole - "Get in There" Licensed by Artlist.io

Lucky No.7 or is it? Langang Brauerei Helles was a new beer from a repeat brewery, which last year's day 21 was their Pils, isn't so lucky. 5% abv but you'll need to listen to my thoughts as to why it wasn't so lucky. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Yestalgia - "Ask Me Anything" Licensed from Artlist.io

Day 6 on Taco Tuesday brings us our 2nd repeat beer from last year's advent calendar. Graminger Weissbrau's Dunkle Weissbier. 5% abv and it's exactly the same as last year. It goes to show that Germany culture strives for consistency in at least their beer. Tune for my super quick thoughts on it. Cheers and Prost!!

Welcome back to a new week and a new Day 5. Schwarze Tinte Collab Stout, 6.2% abv. Not really a stout though. Tune in and see why that is. Cheers and Prost!!

We are grooving into the calendar and day 4 brings us one of my favorite German styles, Kellerbier. This is from Kurpfalz Brau at 5% abv. Just a beautiful beer. Take a listen for my thoughts and hope you enjoy! Cheer and Prost!! Music by Mac a Demia - "Fire Loop remix" Licensed by Artlist.io

We're grooving right along to day 3 and it's another beer from a brewery we had in last year's calendar as Day 23. Day 3, this year, is Schloss Brauerei Ellingen Furst Carl Unfiltered Pils, 4.9% abv. Nice solid offering, of which, I was excited for as last year's beer was really good. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Cheers and Prost!! Music by Choke - "Simon" Licensed from Artlist.io

Grumpy German Helles for day 2. Grumpy is spot on as this episode is late so the beer is not happy. Grantler Helles from Schloss Brauerei in Herrngiersdorf. Take a listen and I hope you enjoy, at a minimum, the selected song as it just spoke to me. Cheers and Prost! Music by Novembers - "Last Train Home" Licensed by Artlist.io

We start almost the same way we left off with last year's Advent Calendar, with a Helles lager. Listen in for my thoughts of the beer and my apology for my absence from the podcast. I hope you enjoy the episode either way. Prost and cheers!! Music by Oliver Dodge - "Doozy" instrumental version Licensed from Artlist.io

Merrry Christmas Eve everyone! Day 24 is upon us and it gave us a terrific final beer to end the box set. A 7.5% abv Dopplerbock Dunkel. Super delicious beer.

Thirsty Thursday Day 23 beer!! YEEESSS! Furst Carl Kellerbier at 5.1% abv. Kellerbiers are so tasty and this makes me happy to get another one as the 2nd to last beer in the calendar. Makes me even more hyped for tomorrow's day 24 beer. Sit back and enjoy in your own Keller or just while having a bier. PROST!!

Day 22 HUMPDAY hype!!! Matrix Resurrection release day HYPE! Today we get Schlossbrau Rheder Original Pils, 4.7% abv, and man this is good stuff. Checks all the boxes as a Pils. I hope you enjoy this episode right before you take the red pill or just after you return after the blue pill. PROST!!

Day 21 and I'm getting trolled. Another helles. Wittmann Urhell, 4.9% abv. Like the previous 14 Helles lagers, this one is no different. Listen on as I say my peace because the can is right. "Urhell"... my hell... PROST!!
