Three Drinks Down

Greg and Nate enjoy an NEIPA from Foam Brewers in Vermont, a fruited sour beer from Casey Brewing and Blending in Colorado, and a MYSTERY SPIRIT that is the subject of the segment "Now That's The Spirit."Brew News too... A fun episode to listen to. Cheers.

I try to stump Greg on one of the internet's newest quiz segments (okay, dramatic and not needed)... Now That's the Spirit.

Here...we... GO! Show #2 on YouTube, and Episode #19 overall. DRINKS ENJOYED THIS SHOW Cocktail - 2 oz Buffalo Trace Bourbon + 3 oz lemonade Beer: Arkane Aleworks and Woodwright Brewery collab "Living the Wood Life" - DIPA with Citra and Mosaic Beer: Black Project Roswell MJ12 TWO NEW SEGMENTS - FEEDBACK WELCOME BREW NEWS Beer Release of Note: Fundamental Observation - 6 per person... Proxies Allowed Big Dummies of the Week - Walking Tree Brewing Shame on You Award - Stone Brewing THAT'S THE SPIRIT Can you guess what the spirit being described is before Greg?

Here is a quick promo of a NEW segment we are adding to the show called "That's the Spirit!"Three clues... Greg gets unlimited guesses... Will he get it right? 1) Made from grapes, typically from Western France2) Twice distilled, and spends at least two years in barrels3) Common cocktail you would find this in: Side CarThink you know? Tune in to our next episode to find out!!!

So many feels...It was great to be back in the saddle. We had not recorded in over 6 weeks. Between a refocus on equality and Black Lives Matter, COVID-19 , full time work, and trying to get YouTube set up, we really had a lot of stuff to chat about. Though we chose to focus on the former of the two topics in the first two segments. And of course the drinks get their time too, DUH!Here is what we drank this episode:Big Top Lemon Shandy collaboration with Monkey Toolbox - 3.0% ABV INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bigtopbrewco/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/BigTopBrewCo/ WEB: http://www.bigtopbrewing.com/ Corporate Ladder Brewing Company Blackberry Lemon Push-up Pop - 6.0% ABV INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/corporateladderbrewing/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/corporateladderbrewing/ WEB: https://www.corporateladderbrewing.com/ New Riff Distilling Single Barrel Selection - FL-orehound - Barrel #16-9653 105.3 Proof (52.65% ABV) INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/newriff/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/NewRiffDistilling/ WEB: https://newriffdistilling.com/ We would be remised if we did not put in a word or two about the content that we discussed while drinking in this video. This podcast truly has more weight that we usually get into, but honestly, it felt great. Black Lives Matter is something Greg and I feel adamant about. And it's really not open to much debate to us. Systemic racism is not tolerable anymore. PERIOD! COVID-19... well its a reality as this video is posted. Our feelings... its such a little thing to wear a mask when in public to protect others when asked to by either the local business who is trying operate according mandates in place (right, wrong or indifferent), or, more importantly, another human being. If you don't have enough respect to do that, you shouldn't be out in public to begin with... it's basic human decency. Clearly, folks have pointed out exceptional cases, but that's the point, they are exceptional, not the rule. Don't feign being in an exceptional case if you are not, it just further proves how much of an a$$hat you are being.Greg and Nate (aka The Show Idiot)P.S. Things I learned in the production of this particular video:- Syncing audio is an art, not a science. This video is not perfect, and it annoys me. I'm very sorry. - Check your output resolution when hitting record. 720p is great, but not when you have 1080p at the press of three button clicks.- Spell check, spell check. I did so FOUR times, and I still probably jacked something up. - LET IT RIP! Perfection can be the enemy of progress.All comments on the content of the video, beverages, content, or video production welcome!!!CHEERS!
