Three stalwart beer lovers take on the Mount Everest of beer tasting - the Ashley's beer tour. It's 130 beers, 30+ styles and a whole lot of beer love. If you love beers, bars, drinking or even just hanging out with your buddies and shooting the breeze, come see what's On Tap!
Aric Watson, Bryce Erwin, Bill Ticknor and Mike Monan
Today we enter the Pale Ale category with Founders Pale Ale... and then chat about what makes for a great bar!
On the menu today is Arbor Brewing Company's Jackhammer Old Ale - a 9% ABV beer in the old ale style from a local brewing just a few blocks from Ashley's! We talk about about ABC (Bryce is a hater) and try the beer... This week's beer topic - do you have a beer cellar? Do you store beers for later use? You can do this with old ales, but does that mean any of us actually do it? Will beer even last long around us?
Continuing in the old ale style, this week we sample JW Lee's Old Ale - which turns into an On Tap favorite! And we discuss the all important topic of drinking games, and try a few!
Today we try an Old Ale style from Bell's in Kalamazoo, MI - then head to Original Gravity in Milan, MI to talk beer with owner and brewmaster Brad Sancho.
Halloweekend 2010 starts with a very special episode of On Tap - in which we sample a bunch of beers in the Oktoberfest style!
Get ready for a different great show each night, starting Friday and leading to a very special (and very creepy) "ghostcast" halloween night!
This week we continue in the "bitters" category with Ruddles County Ale, from Merry Old England.
The beer tour continues! This week we sample Boddington's Pub Ale.
Another week, another beer! This week we continue in the bitter category with Rogue's "Brutal Bitter"... or is Rogue's "Brutal IPA"?
In the premier episode of our new "On Tap" show we try the Arcadia ESB, from the Arcadia Brewing company in Battle Creek MI
