    (NSFW) In this episode, Ed regales Nate and Chris with tales from his visit to the iconic Rowley Farmhouse Ales in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The studio comes alive with the popping of corks as the trio embarks on a beer-tasting adventure. The first sip is the uniquely crafted "Teosinte," a farmhouse ale where Oaxacan green dent corn, and Teosinte a Mexican grass take center stage creating a delightful symphony of corn sweetness and funk. As they savor the ale, and try to use words to descibe the grassy notes they are tasting. But somehow fall short. Despite John's absence in Tucson, he ensures Ed has a splendid time at Rowley, known not only for its exceptional brews but also for its outstanding food. The culinary highlights, including pineapple upside-down cake, gyro tacos, and red chili fries, become part of the storytelling, creating a sensory-rich experience. The tasting journey continues with "Supernatant," a robust creation featuring Norwegian Farmhouse yeast and Grüner Veltliner lees from Vivac Winery. The beer, bottled with Alfalfa honey, unfolds as a crisp and funky sour ale—a perfect companion for shared moments with friends. The third and final tasting, "If You Must - Tablas Creek," offers a glimpse into the world of lactobacillus Berlin-style weissbier, aged in Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Blanc barriques on fresh Mourvèdre must. The result is a nuanced beer with notes of grape skin tannins, oak-derived vanillin, and a refreshing tartness. This one makes Nate reach for the Tums!

Also on the list is a style not really talked about the Southwest IPA. What is that? On the non-alcoholic front, White Claw makes a surprising move, introducing just a plain old seltzer water. Nate, ever the cider enthusiast, expresses a longing for more hop-infused ciders at Cider Corp. But that's just one mans opinion.

    (NSFW) On this episode of Road Sodas Ed and Chris sit down and try a new brew and go over some old news again. This week the new brew was given to them by Ad Astra Brewing Company to try and give their honest opinion on it. For those that have heard the show before, know that they are nothing but honest when it comes to brew reviews. They go over their adventures after the road trip up to Wren House in Prescott. They got more beer and food in downtown Prescott at Lazy G's Brewing, Park Plaza Liquor and Deli, and Ad Astra Brewing Company. Old Breaking News, downtown Mesa is becoming a beer destination. Chris becomes instantly sad at this news, since he no longer lives near there. Ed gets angry about Stone Brewing's Greg Koch "eulogy" style announcement about Marin Brewing closing. The trend of low calorie and N/A beers continues with Guinness and Deschutes Brewery releasing new brews. Another great source of beer, a health blog, puts out the best beer spot in Arizona.  Road Sodas: An alcoholic beverage (usually beer or perhaps malt liquor) consumed inside a moving vehicle. This beverage can be consumed by passenger, driver, or both. Road sodas are illegal in most states due to open container laws. Still, they are widely enjoyed as evidenced by all the beer cans littering rural road sides.
