One night in 1975, three friends stepped into the desert heat for a few drinks. By morning, one was gone — swallowed by something far more sinister than a simple disappearance. Decades later, Laura Nimoy traces the faint clues down 7 Bridges Road… toward a truth that doesn't want to be found.” Playlist link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5cprFGAHd11gUmybrYVxYi?si=JQaZW73OTxKnf5MH3h1TAA&pi=-7D_sozMRV6OF

What starts as a review of Hathaway's Heroes IPA from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery quickly turns into a time capsule of hockey playoff anxiety, craft beer nostalgia, cigar festivals, brewing science, and one surreal story about unknowingly hanging out with Sam Calagione years before realizing who he was. Recorded during intermission of a Flyers vs. Penguins playoff game — immediately after Garnet Hathaway scores — this may be the most emotionally compromised beer review I've ever done. Inside the episode: A full BJCP-style breakdown of Hathaway's Heroes IPA Live playoff energy and Flyers fandom chaos Stories from early-2000s cigar festivals and discovering Dogfish Head A nostalgic dive into the lost brewing TV series Brew Masters Brewing talk about stalled fermentations, oxygenation, specialty malts, and resin-heavy IPAs A review that openly admits the score may have been influenced by hockey emotions This episode is part beer review, part brewing rabbit hole, part sports panic attack — and somehow it all works.

In Episode 36 of Matt Likes Beer, I dive deep into Philadelphia Pale Ale from Yards Brewing Company — a beer that comes with some serious expectations after Dave declared it his favorite beer in the entire Philadelphia series. What starts as a simple review quickly turns into one of the most detailed beer breakdowns I've ever done on the show. We get into: BJCP Category 18B American Pale Ale judging Orange zest, floral hop aromas, grapefruit notes, and lingering bitterness A fascinating discussion about hop backs and how Yards may be using them in production Why pale ales are one of the most important styles for understanding both breweries and your own palate Final score: 46/50 — Outstanding Beer Along the way, I also rant about flights, defend pale ales from being called “boring,” and probably say “this is Dave's favorite beer” way too many times. If you love craft beer, brewing mechanics, BJCP-style analysis, or just hearing someone obsess over a really well-made pale ale for half an hour, this episode is for you.

The Philadelphia Months series rolls on, and this time Matt cracks open something unexpected: Tech Blonde Ale. What starts as a casual pour quickly turns into one of the biggest surprises of the series so far. Brewed by Ship Bottom Brewery but branded under 215 Libations (yes, that 215), this episode dives into a fascinating look at contract brewing, joint ventures, and the sometimes confusing business side of beer. Oh—and there's an NBA connection you won't see coming. But let's get to the real story: the beer. Matt—self-proclaimed tough critic of blonde ales—finds himself genuinely impressed by a brew that delivers far more complexity than expected. From bready, biscuity malt character to delicate floral hops with a hint of lavender and subtle peach/pear esters, this one hits a rare sweet spot: balance with personality. Along the way, Matt breaks down the beer BJCP-style, shares why blonde ales are harder to nail than they seem, and reflects on his own brewing journey—including the story behind his medal-winning “Miscalculated Blonde.” Final verdict? A near-top-tier score and a new favorite from the lineup. If you think blonde ales are boring… this episode might change your mind.

In this episode, Dave discusses the movies Whistle, Black Cab, Get Away, Hallow Road, and Mom and Dad!

This is report of the first episode of our new series "Rocked". This repost includes an extended introduction that sets the stage for the series and little bit more about our host, Larah Nimoi. In every small town, there's a disappearance people still whisper about — a name that lingers, a moment that changed everything. Rocked follows one woman's relentless journey to uncover the truth behind those who vanished under unsettling, often overlooked circumstances. Each episode digs into a different case: the people who went missing, the secrets left behind, and the communities forever shaken by their absence. Through interviews, investigation, and a deeply personal search for answers, Rocked explores how these mysteries ripple through families, friendships, and entire towns long after the headlines fade. This podcast series is about the stories that refuse to stay buried — and the determination to finally bring them into the light. EPISODE 1 — “Whatever Happened to the High Plains Hottie?” A young woman vanished from a bar outside St. Paul in 1982 — and her case has haunted me for years. In our debut episode, I return to the disappearance that started it all, reopening the mystery of who she was, what happened that night, and why her story never let me go.

The Philadelphia beer tour rolls on! In Episode 34 of Matt Likes Beer, Matt cracks open Blow the Whistle IPA from 2SP Brewing Company—another sports-inspired selection courtesy of Dave. With a nod to Philly's die-hard fan culture (and a little Eagles energy mixed in), this IPA sets the stage for a deeper dive into what makes the style so beloved… and so polarizing. Along the way, Matt reflects on his own IPA-heavy lineup and tackles a question many craft beer fans have encountered: why do IPAs seem to attract so much criticism? From social media jokes to real-world beer conversations, he explores the love-it-or-hate-it reputation of the style while making a strong case for its diversity and creativity. Of course, the heart of the episode is the beer itself. Expect a full BJCP-style breakdown, highlighting: Bright citrus-forward aromas with lemon and lime zest A layered hop profile featuring Idaho 7 and Cashmere A smooth, slightly sweet finish that bends (and tests) style expectations A final score of 42, making it one of the standout beers in the series so far It's part tasting, part rant, and part love letter to one of craft beer's most debated styles. Grab a pint and join the conversation—especially if you've ever had to defend your love of IPAs.

The Philadelphia beer series rolls on! In Episode 33 of Matt Likes Beer, Matt dives into another selection from the stash of 16 beers sent by Dave from NeoZaz—this time featuring a surprising entry from Weyerbacher Brewing Company. Known for their massive, high-ABV beers, Weyerbacher takes a sharp left turn with Cerveza Bueno Latin Lager, a crisp and easy-drinking 4.5% brew that couldn't be further from their usual heavy hitters. But does lighter mean lesser? That's what this episode sets out to discover. Along the way, Matt shares: A behind-the-scenes story of a very ambitious beer fridge cleanout Memories from visiting Weyerbacher's Easton location A candid discussion about “beer mansplaining” and the evolving culture of craft beer Insights into judging a Latin lager under BJCP guidelines (spoiler: it lands in International Pale Lager territory)

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, the Philadelphia Months series rolls on with a look at Phandemic Brew Tailgate Lager—a beer inspired by one of the most unique fan movements to come out of the pandemic. Matt dives into the story of the “Phandemic Krew,” a passionate group of Philadelphia baseball fans who gathered outside the stadium during the empty-seat days of 2020, bringing energy, noise, and spirit back to the game when it was needed most. It's a perfect backdrop for a beer built around the ballpark experience. From there, the episode shifts into a personal and nostalgic reflection on pandemic-era beer culture—supporting local breweries, the explosion of homebrewing, and the makeshift traditions that helped keep community alive during a strange and isolated time. Of course, no episode would be complete without a full BJCP-style review. Matt breaks down the Tailgate Lager as an American Light Lager, exploring its appearance, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel—while also comparing it to macro classics and discussing where craft versions elevate the style. It's part beer review, part storytelling, and part time capsule of a truly bizarre era—all wrapped up in one easy-drinking episode. Grab a beer and listen in.
