The Bowling Goat Beercast

In this episode of the podcast the boys try something old and something new: They start off with show favorite Pulp from RAR Brewing, and then explore the world of non-alcoholic beers with IPNA from Lagunitas Brewing.    They also discuss the goings on in the beer world, including dissecting the lists of most popular cheap beers in America as well as the favorite beers in each state. Erock tells us all about his foray into the realm of NA beers, and finally they announce a new project that's coming soon. Cheers!

West Virginia! In this week's episode Erock gives us a rundown of his trip to West Virginia and all the new beers he tried, and Jay tells us about his favorite WV breweries.  Of course the boys couldn't talk about West Virginia beers without trying some West Virginia beer, so in this episode they drank two: Porter from Big Timber Brewing Company and Nibiruan Nectar from Weathered Ground Brewery.

In this week's episode we catch up on everything that happened during our brief hiatus with a beer that's all about setting your Out Of Office and getting away from it all: Getaway Message Pina Colada Hazy IPA from Duclaw Brewing Co. It's a great conversation that runs the gamut from what's going on in the world of craft beer to the best techniques for grilling a steak. 

In this very special episode we're excited to try the new collaboration between Heavy Seas Beer and Royal Farms: World Famous Pilsner. World Famous is a beer that was specially designed to be drank alongside Royal Farms fried chicken, and that's exactly what we did. We also talk about some of our other favorite foods to pair with beers, and what companies we'd like to see do a similar collaboration.

In this episode we talk about one of our favorite subjects: drinking local! We discuss our favorite local breweries, and our favorite local beers.  Of course we had to have this conversation while trying a local beer, and this week's choice didn't let us down: Thirst Monster from Union Craft Brewing in Baltimore MD.

We're back! In this episode we catch up after a few weeks off, and with no agenda in place we talked about everything from comic books to amusement park rides to beer release lines. This week we tried one of the best reviewed beers in the world: Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds Beer.

In this episode we talk all about session beers: what makes a beer a session beer, what styles lend themselves to session drinking, and what are some of our favorite session beers?  You can't drink one beer and call it a session, so for this episode we tried three: Kolsch beers from Früh and Schlafly, and Clockwork Tangerine from Brewdog. 

On this week's episode we explore the history of high alcohol beers, and talk about the ongoing battle to be the brand with the highest ABV beer on the planet.  You can't have a conversation about high ABV beers without drinking a high ABV beer, so for this episode we enjoyed a "25" from Heavy Seas Beer. As always, reach out to us and let us know what you think! You can find us on Facebook and Instagram @ "The Bowling Goat", or via email @ thebowlinggoat@gmail.com
