Is John Legend's wine actually worth buying, or are you just paying for the name? The crew tests the 2023 LVE Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon from LVE Wines by John Legend, a North Coast, California bottle priced around $20 with 14.5% ABV, as part of their celebrity wine challenge under $30.Aaron explains why this bottle stood out among the many celebrity wine options and why the LVE lineup caught his attention. The hosts also discuss the partnership with producer Jean-Charles Boisset and whether that background should raise, or lower, expectations.Later, the episode shifts into a quick Cabernet Sauvignon lesson in the “Wine Drops” segment, focusing on how tannin shapes the texture and experience of the wine before the group delivers their final verdict.Subscribe for weekly wine conversations.Support the show and help keep the wine flowing!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.

Dr. Hoby Wedler, a PhD organic chemist and sensory expert, is back on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell. He has been on the show before, the last time was this episode back in August of 2020. His Instagram has almost 480,000 followers as of today’s show date. Hoby was born sightless, and was raised to have high expectations for himself. He was inspired by his great high school chemistry teacher who has worked at Petaluma High School for a while. He thought he might study history because the prospect of needing an assistant to perform manual jobs in a chem lab. But his graduate advisor was a computational organic chemist. This subject provided an avenue for him to study chemistry with more independence. His original goal was to teach freshman chemistry at the college level. He is an inspired teacher and wants to make his subject more than a requirement. “Hey maybe this is something really interesting that I never thought I would love.” He taught several freshman chemistry courses while at UC Davis. He prepared lessons and study materials carefully, but found that many students just wanted “the minimum knowledge value” to simply pass the class. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date Pliny the Younger 2026 information. Then Hoby met Francis Ford Coppola, who asked to organize truly blind tastings at his winery. Hoby then trained his palette by tasting and smelling things, day after day. He was at UC Davis where the brewing program was going on right next to where he was getting his PhD in computational organic chemistry. Professor Charlie Bamforth, “The Pope of Foam” worked nearby, so did Michael Lewis. An Intersection of Art and Science Hoby thinks of wine and spirits and beer as a very fine intersection between art and science. Science gives us the tools and art gives us the way we want to use those tools. Herlinda first met Hoby Wedler at one of his Tasting in the Dark events. Guests were encouraged to take their time and focus on taste and smell. They use the blindfold “…so people can focus on their other senses even more.” Today they will taste two brews, a barleywine and a Tripel from CuVer Brewing in Windsor. Herlinda admits that as a beer judge, she begins by looking at the beer. Is it clear? What color is the foam? Hoby says you can smell the carbonation. Hoby points out that you can hear the carbonation too. When he smells the cuVer, he tastes clove, allspice, a bit of nutmeg and orange peel. These elements are coming from the yeast, which produces esters. Belgian yeast is special and produces esters that carry these fruity flavors. He can also taste the malt. It has a low-to-mid hop profile but the flavor is dominated by grain and malt, and the ester compounds coming from the yeast. He also knows that the water in Belgium is special, it's very pure. Herlinda smells coriander and also the alcohol. Tasting in the Dark Hoby promotes his tasting experience called Tasting in the Dark. It works with many kinds of foods and beverages, including wine, beer, spirits, olive oil, vinegar and even beef. He did a tasting experience of scotch, gin and bourbon for the launch of a new kind of freshwater fish bait. The bait is designed to be attractive to the fishes' sense of smell. Hoby's Instagram has grown explosively in the last year. He put a few reels online from their tastings and they proved to be very popular. Some of them were from Hawaii about tropical fruit. They went from 3000 followers to 480,000 followers today. The second tasting is a Barleywine called Bigfoot from Sierra Nevada. Hoby knows Ken Grossman who started Sierra Nevada out of the back of his pickup truck in 19790. Barleywine uses light hops and so much malted barley that the beer has a similar alcohol concentration to wine, 9.6% ABV.

Celebrity wines can be a minefield. This week the crew kicks off a new challenge to find the best celebrity wine under $30, starting with The Dreaming Tree Crush Red Blend (2023) from Dreaming Tree Wines, a collaboration between Dave Matthews and winemaker Steve Reeder.The wine comes from California, costs about $15, and sits at 14.5% ABV. The hosts discuss what celebrity wines get right and wrong, why California red blends often surprise drinkers, and who these easy drinking wines are actually made for.They also break down common misconceptions about “jammy” wines and how warm climate fruit and modern winemaking shape approachable red blends.Plus a Dave Matthews Band lyric game and the first score in the celebrity wine challenge.Subscribe for weekly wine conversations.Support the show and help keep the wine flowing!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.

Sometimes you just need to chill. Sometimes you need chili. Thats what this Episode is all about. We go deep into the whole in's and out's of how to make chili and Going to Andalusia Whiskey co. Hope you enjoy. Be BlessedAndalusiawhiskey.comPatreon.con/offtopicwhiskeyBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Chili and whiskey make a great pair because they share bold, complex flavors that can either complement or balance each other through chemistry and taste profiles.Scientific & Sensory ReasonsCapsaicin Solubility: Capsaicin, the compound that makes chili peppers hot, is soluble in alcohol. A sip of whiskey can "pick up" the capsaicin, providing temporary relief before redistributing the heat, which can lead to an "explosion of flavor" as it releases aromatic oils from the spices.Flavor Amplification: Higher alcohol content (ABV) acts as a flavor carrier, intensifying the perception of heat and making the spicy sensation last longer on the palate.The "Burn" Synergy: Both chili and whiskey provide a "warming" sensation. The heat from the peppers and the "burn" from the alcohol can create a combined sensory experience that many find satisfying.Pairing StrategiesBourbon for Balance: The natural sweetness, caramel, and vanilla notes in bourbon help temper the heat of a spicy chili, acting as a counterweight to the spice.Rye for Intensity: Rye whiskey often has its own peppery, spicy profile, which can be used to "double down" on the heat of a very spicy chili.Scotch for Smokiness: Peated Scotches have a smoky, earthy character that pairs well with the charred flavors of roasted peppers or smoked meats often found in chili.Irish Whiskey for Smoothness: The smoothness of Irish whiskey makes it an excellent partner for milder, bean-forward, or even creamy white chilies.Cooking BenefitsMany people also add whiskey directly to their chili recipes.Deglazing: Using whiskey to deglaze the pan releases caramelized sugars from the meat and vegetables, adding depth and preventing burnt flavors.Finishing Touch: Adding a splash of whiskey near the end of cooking provides a "spark and a lift," maintaining the spirit's character and adding unique depth to the stew.Here is a robust recipe for Bourbon Beef Chili that uses whiskey to deglaze the pan and add deep, complex flavor.Bourbon Beef ChiliPrep time: 15 mins | Cook time: ~1.5 to 2 hoursServings: 6–8IngredientsMeat: 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20) and 1/2 lb ground pork or Italian sausage.Aromatics: 1 large onion (diced), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 bell pepper, and 1–2 jalapeños (seeded and diced).Liquid: 1/2 cup Bourbon (e.g., Buffalo Trace or Maker's Mark), 1 cup beef broth, and 12 oz dark beer (optional).Base: 28 oz crushed tomatoes, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 2 cans (15 oz) kidney or pinto beans (rinsed).Spices: 3 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp oregano, and 1–2 tbsp brown sugar.The "Secret" Boosters: 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce..

Send a textA light beer just earned a perfect ten and knocked our old favorites off the throne. We opened Pabst Light expecting a throwback macro and found a crisp, balanced lager with real flavor, clean finish, and the same 96-calorie footprint you expect from an everyday sipper. We pulled it apart next to Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, talked sweetness, mouthfeel, and price, and asked the only question that matters: would you actually buy a 12-pack and live with it? Our answer surprised us.Between pours, we headed to the kitchen for the ultimate crowd-pleaser: a Big Mac meatloaf that nails the fast-food memory without the drive-thru. Ground beef, shredded cheese, chopped dill pickles, whisked eggs, ketchup, mustard, and torn sesame bun for the bind, finished with a quick hit of grill smoke. On lettuce with an easy house sauce, it is weeknight-simple and backyard-worthy. We share why whisking matters, when to choose fresh bread over crumbs, and how a clean lager slices through rich, tangy bites.Then we flipped the script with a Maumee Bay peanut-flavored Kolsch. Think peanut brittle up front, a whisper of salted caramel, and a maple finish that lingers as the glass warms. At 5% ABV and 25 IBUs, it is playful and polished—great for ballpark vibes or a dessert pairing—but best in singles, not a marathon. We closed out with spring on deck: warmer days, grills firing, camping trips lining up, and golf season calling. That is the real reason we chase dialed-in lagers: they keep pace with sun, smoke, and long days outside.Hit play to hear why Pabst Light earned a rare perfect score, grab the Big Mac meatloaf blueprint, and decide if the peanut Kolsch earns fridge space. If you enjoy beer talk, backyard cooking, and a little chaos, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so we can keep the taps—and the recipes—flowing.Support the showwww.anotherreasontodrink.com

Jenna Bautista from the Pink Boots Society, also a Senior Quality Analyst for Lagunitas, joins Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha. Jenna Bautista joins Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha, with Adam Bosch from Parliament Brewing Co. also in studio. International Women's Day is Sunday March 8, this year. There is a whole weekend of Pink Boots Society collaborations to check out. Lagunitas has made Glass Breaker, using Nectaron, Simcoe, and O-33 experimental hops. It has pine and stone fruit flavors and is a little over 8.5% ABV. It will be released this Saturday. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date Pliny the Younger 2026 information. The Pink Boots Society North Bay has partnered with CuVer in Windsor to brew a Belgian IPA called By Her Bootstraps. HenHouse is releasing The Coven, a botanical rice lager flavored with sage, grapefruit and lemon peel and lavender. They are releasing it at Fort Point Valencia on Sunday. Jenna was just in New Orleans for the Pink Boots Society conference. They had a couple hundred women and non-binary people working in the beverage industry. They had a speaker from Europe who talked about advocating for yourself in a tough industry and how to advocate for others. Friday there is a performance of Werewolf on Holiday at Lagunitas, too.

What do a rockstar and a surf legend like to drink? Tigers Blood, of course. Marc and Walden are back with another killer favor, Black Cherry. Its a scary beverage if you've ever had a Black Cherry seltzer because it taste just like it's non-alcoholic counterpart except Tigers Blood is 5% ABV.

We finally made it to one of Malmö's oldest drinking establisments. Bullen was founded in 1897 and has continued to sling beer and simple dishes. Over the years it's evolved into a Malmö mainstay. We've been going for years. It never fails to provide a good time. They specialize in importing beers from Czech Monastery Zeliv. Based on their website, they are the only bar in the world where you can get these beers on tap. We start out with Poutovy Special Jirikovo Videni a 5% ABV Polish grodziskie. We never see these anywhere so of course we had to try it. Falco 14 is a 5.5% ABV dark larger. It's light, roasty and always a treat. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #grodziskie #darklager

We know from various beer festivals that Ohio has a pretty incredible craft beer scene, and this show courtesy of listener Ryan Lamb focuses on Cincinnati beers that take it easy on the ABV. We try six beers from three different breweries - including one now-closed legend - and find ourselves mapping out a road trip by the end of the episode. We also get our minds (and appetites) freaked by the Criss Angel Breakfast Lunch and Pizza (CABLP) menu, comment on those Arnold Palmer rumors, appreciate the art of the subtle pastry, and try not to lose that grain feeling.  Beers Reviewed Listermann Brewing Company - Losantiville Pre-Prohibition Lager Sonder Brewing - Voss (Kölsch) Sonder Brewing - Divot (Lemonade & Iced Tea Ale) MadTree Brewing Company - Legendary Lager MadTree Brewing Company - Queen City Pale Ale MadTree Brewing Company - Dreamsicle (Orange & Vanilla Ale)  

In an era of low-and-no headlines, one contrarian wine brand leaned into flavor high ABV. It scaled to 2.5 million cases in just three years.In this episode of Business of Drinks, Erica sits down with Kaitlin Silva, Director of National Accounts at Tri-Vin Wines & Spirits, to unpack how XXL went from roughly 85,000 cases in its first year (2023) to 2.5 million cases in 2025, while much of wine was flat or declining.The story isn't just about virality; it's about execution.XXL didn't start by winning Walmart. It was built in independent markets first - including roughly 100,000 cases in Maryland and about 300,000 cases in New York in year two. Consumers were actively looking for the brand. That pull-through gave Tri-Vin leverage when approaching national chains. Kaitlin offers a rare inside look at how national accounts actually function, with two reset windows a year and six-to-eight-month feedback loops. It's a “hurry up and wait” cycle where you're pitching into fall's reset before knowing your spring results. We also discuss how data is the real language of chains. Kaitlin talks about living in SKU rankings, flavor segmentation, and state-by-state performance slicing. As she says, you may not be top 100 overall - but you might be top 5 within a specific subsegment in that region, and that's the conversation that opens doors.Perhaps most interesting for trade listeners: Velocity is currently winning over pure margin optimization. Many chains are focused on moving units and driving incremental shoppers in a value-conscious environment. XXL's ability to turn - and to bring new consumers into the wine aisle - has been central to its expansion.If you're building a beverage brand, pitching national accounts, or trying to understand where wine's real growth pockets are emerging, this episode offers perspective on how independents create momentum, how data earns scale, and why sometimes the biggest opportunity comes from zigging while everyone else zags.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:YouTubeLinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

From cleaning kennels to crafting Sonoma Cabernet, Chris Louton's path to winemaking wasn't planned. A UC Davis class changed everything. Now at St. Francis Winery & Vineyards, he's shaping wines that stay balanced, affordable, and true to place.Chris shares how he went from veterinary ambitions to overseeing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Bordeaux varietals in Sonoma County. We talk vintage differences, protecting quality at scale, and why he refuses to “make wine for trends.”We taste the 2023 St. Francis Merlot and 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (both around $15–$16, 14.8% and 14.5% ABV). Chris breaks down vineyard strategy, blending across Sonoma County, and how they maintain control from vine to bottle.If you care about value wine done right, this one's for you.Subscribe for weekly wine conversations.Learn More About the St. Francishttps://www.stfranciswinery.com/Support the show and help keep the wine flowing!Buy us a glass!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with the show.

How did Noon Whistle Brewing create a West Coast IPA with bold hop flavor but none of the harsh bite that turns skeptics away?From late hopping techniques and water chemistry to managing bitterness perception and “yeast afterbite,” the Noon Whistle team discusses how drinkability became their competitive advantage. Paul Kreiner (Co-Owner & Brewmaster), Mike Condon (Co-Owner), and Joe Condon (Marketing & Creative Director) share how that philosophy helped them win gold with an amber lager, experiment with wild fermentation (including beers that “sucked for a year”), and build a brand that balances hype with approachability.0:00 From Session Beers to Gold Medals at Noon Whistle3:20 The Story Behind the Noon Whistle Name6:22 Why They Started With Low ABV Session Beers8:50 How Drinkers Think About ABV vs Taste9:56 What Is “Yeast Afterbite” in Beer?10:36 How Paul & Mike Decided to Open a Brewery11:59 From Homebrewer to Siebel Institute Graduate13:58 Does Chicago Have the Best Water for Brewing?14:54 Would You Taste a Water Profile Change?16:43 How the Craft Beer Business Has Changed in 10 Years18:34 How Noon Whistle Built Wide Distribution in Illinois19:50 Joe Condon's Branding Strategy & Costco Packaging23:44 Describing the “Baby Case” 24-Pack Box29:49 Hop Prism Blue: A Less-Bitter West Coast IPA38:48 Bruski Amber Lager Wins World Beer Cup Gold39:57 Amber Ale vs Amber Lager: What's the Difference?43:06 What It's Like to Win World Beer Cup Gold45:39 Funderen Wild Sour & FOBAB Silver Medal55:08 How Important Is Barrel Aging to Noon Whistle?57:43 Barrel-Aged S'more Nutz Stout59:28 Does Every Chicago Brewery Need Barrel Aging?1:03:32 The Intense R&D Behind Their Tavern-Style Pizza1:07:00 Pause & Pause Plus THC Sparkling Water1:16:26 The Final Four Questions1:22:47 Favorite Beer & Food PairingsAbout Noon Whistle Brewing: Noon Whistle officially opened its doors in 2014 with the original production facility and tasting room in Lombard, IL.

Released in late 2025 for $124.99 MSRP, it features a 9-year-old blend of 70% standard barrels and 30% heavy-char barrels filled in 2015. Cheers!

We're back with another episode of local Swedish breweries. We have been featuring Smedsbo Slott quite a few times over the past couple of moths. It's always a wild ride. Like all their beers they include no information other than the name, ABV and style. Xocolatl is a 14.5% ABV pastry stout. We'll leave it at that. Benchwarmers teamed up with Amundsen Brewery to create Coconut Fjord. This is an 8% ABV stout made with cocoa nibs, muscovado sugar and coconut. It give Bounty.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #pastystout #stout

This week, we attempt to find the hidden thread connecting Norwegian heartbreak with Brad Pitt's high-octane racing. Adam Beam returns to tackle two Oscar Best Picture nominees, Sentimental Value and F1.  On the beer side, we've got a Banger Imperial Hazy IPA from Saint Arnold Brewing, juicy enough for a cinematic slow-mo montage, and from David's magic bag of wonders, the 2025 Goose Island Bourbon County Double Barrel Stout, an imperial stout (17.4% ABV) aged in two sets of freshly emptied Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond bourbon barrels. Sip carefully, argue passionately, and maybe—just maybe—you'll see why Sentimental Value and F1 kinda work together.

By now, you're no doubt tired of hearing us ramble about season four. So, in this week's episode, it's Producer Sean who does it! We finally got our maestro of Malcontent Media to marathon all eight episodes, and he has some thoughts about…well, pretty much all of it. Liamralt! Larry Fish! Vilgefortz's evil minions! Sex montages! And as if that's not enough, it all happens over a bottle of Proof of Life, a strangely goth non-alcoholic whiskey that we mix up into some mean mocktails. It's a season four celebration that's low on ABV, high on attitude and packed with new perspective. It might not always be clear or coherent perspective, but it's new!

Fresh from a hip replacement, Harry interviews Sam Shahidi in person, the CEO and co-founder of Happy Dad Hard Seltzer. Sam stopped by our San Antonio studio to talk about Happy Dad's explosive growth to 258 distributors, the brutal reality of switching away from RNDC, and why Gen Z just doesn't have money left over for beer anymore — between Zyn, Celsius, DoorDash, and sports betting, the wallet is tapped before they ever hit a bar.Sam also breaks down Happy Dad's new 10% ABV non-carbonated lemonade, the Realtree camo collab, a major Target national rollout, and the hiring of former BeatBox execs.

In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Coney, a creative director, talent manager, and comic book creator who is living proof that opportunities don't just happen, they're created. Aaron's story is one of intentionality, faith, discipline, and a relentless commitment to always bringing value into every room he walks into. Aaron takes us back to his early days in Detroit, where he was surrounded by people chasing big dreams, including his friends Mike Posner and Big Sean. Instead of sitting on the sidelines, Aaron immersed himself in the entertainment industry, learning everything he could and positioning himself to serve. That mindset led to his first major opportunity when he designed and sold Comic Con art prints for the original Blue Power Ranger, turning creativity and initiative into a real business and opening doors into talent management and appearance booking. What makes Aaron different is the philosophy he lives by, something he calls ABV, which stands for Always Bring Value. Whether he's connecting people, solving problems behind the scenes, or helping talent show up at their highest level, Aaron focuses on contribution first. That approach has allowed him to work alongside major names, build authentic relationships, and establish himself as someone people trust. We also talk about the realities of moving to Los Angeles and embracing what Aaron calls the worst car in the lot mindset. Instead of being discouraged by not having the most money, status, or success in the room, he saw it as confirmation that he was exactly where he needed to be to grow. Aaron shares powerful insights into the importance of mentorship, community, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to become better. He talks openly about faith, personal growth, and the moment around turning 30 when he realized he needed to elevate his thinking, his habits, and his life. One of the most exciting parts of Aaron's journey is the creation of Phantom Force, his original comic book universe. Inspired initially by Power Rangers, Aaron received advice from the late Jason David Frank to create something original. That advice led him to develop a completely new world with deeper, more mature storytelling and diverse characters that reflect real life. Phantom Force represents not just a creative project, but a lifelong dream coming to life. This conversation is about more than entertainment, comics, or talent management. It is about becoming the kind of person opportunities are attracted to. It is about bringing value, building relationships, trusting your faith, and having the courage to create something that outlives you. Aaron's story will challenge you to stop waiting and start building. In This Episode, You Will Learn: • Why bringing value is the fastest way to build powerful relationships and opportunities • How Aaron turned his love for comics and fandom into a real career • The mindset shift that helped him succeed after moving to Los Angeles • Why your environment plays a critical role in your personal growth • How mentorship and community can completely change your life trajectory • The importance of authenticity and surrounding yourself with the right people • How Phantom Force was created and the lessons Aaron learned from Jason David Frank • Why success is less about money and more about peace, alignment, and purpose • The defining moment that forced Aaron to grow up and level up his life • How faith and discipline have shaped his decisions and vision Who Is Aaron Coney? Aaron Coney is a creative director, talent manager, and comic book creator. He has worked in talent appearances, entertainment branding, and creative development while building his original comic series Phantom Force. His work focuses on storytelling, creating opportunities, and helping others step into their full potential.

We're going a little more local this episode with a couple of Swedish breweries you might not have heard of before. Shapes and Objects is from Karlstad. They've been around for a couple of years and are just getting started. Sun Trip DDH Hazy IPA is a collab with Spanish brewers Malandar. Coming in at 6.2%, this IPA is filled with citra, mosiac, nelson sauvin and manalita hops. Malmö based Perfectly Squared has been expanding across the city more and more. Strawblime is a collab with Bottenvikens from Luleå in far North Sweden. This is a 4.5% ABV sour beer that's going for a strawberry daquiri experience. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sour #ipa

With the San Diego sunshine (most of the time) it's hard to beat this go-to Smile Spirits cocktail, Lemonade Tea is the perfect mixture of Black Tea with Lemonade with just the right amount of carbonation. At 7% ABV this does not drink like it!

Allen and RD are trying Eclipse IPA by Saint Arnold Brewing Company out of Houston Texas.7.5% ABV 55 IBUFrom Untappd: "Brewed with Eclipse hops from Australia and Citra hops from the Pacific Northwest, Eclipse IPA features tropical fruit notes of mango and pineapple with juicy stone fruit notes of peach and apricot. At 7.5% ABV, this citrusy, bright, and mildly bitter IPA is truly a sight to behold."Thanks for watching!#beer #craftbeer #saintarnoldbrewingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strikeout-beer--2992189/support.

Send a textA beer that smells like dessert and drinks like an espresso martini? We crack open a white chocolate espresso coffee stout from Boss Dog and it absolutely sings—silky coffee, a touch of sweetness, and an easygoing 5.5% ABV that keeps conversation loose and lively. Then we switch gears to a hazy IPA from Collision Bend that threads the needle between fruit-forward aroma and a clean grapefruit finish, landing in that sweet “all day” zone while still bringing a sturdy 6.2% punch.Between sips, we follow the sun to Houston. Picture an open-air ice house with 55 taps repeated across three stations, food trucks circling like friendly satellites, and a massive outdoor screen sharp enough to make the Super Bowl look new. The vibe is pure spring-in-Texas: a breeze through the picnic tables, big fans spinning overhead, and menus that leap from lobster to funnel-cake mashups. We swap travel snapshots, talk about how weather shapes beer culture, and confess how quickly a good tap list can turn into a long night of favorites and firsts.Back home, the conversation gets geeky in the best way. We compare ABV and IBU without the jargon, debate whether a projector beats a TV for movies and gaming, and admit that scale changes everything—from a screen that fills a wall to a stout that fills the room with coffee-chocolate aroma. The stout earns a rare “keep it stocked” from both of us; the hazy secures a solid eight and a spot in the weeknight rotation. And because craft beer runs on discovery, we're opening the door for non-local suggestions—send your under-the-radar lagers, saisons, and hazies our way and we'll put them to the test.If you love beer that tells a story—Cleveland craft pride, Houston's open-air tap scene, and the small joys that follow a great pour—you'll feel right at home.

Malmo Taproom had a tap takeover with Saez and Son from the Valenciana region of Spain. They had lots to try from TIPA to Pastry sours. It was tough to pick so we went with the two more interesting beers. Twisted Mary is a tomato gose that tastes more like vegetable or tomato juice than beer. Produced by their side project LOKO*, this beer will be really devisive. If you don't like tomato juice, you'll want to give it a pass. Palm Beach is a 6% ABV pastry sour with mango, platano and coconut milk. This is a rich delicous brew that you want to keep drinking.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gose #pastrysour

Episode 22 of Matt Likes Beer focuses on one of Matt's all-time favorite beer styles: the Strong Bitter. The featured beer is Trooper, the iconic Iron Maiden collaboration brewed by Robinsons Brewery in Cheshire, England, a beer Matt has been drinking—and defending—for years. Matt opens by clarifying a common misconception: while many drinkers refer to beers like this as “ESBs,” that name is technically reserved for Fuller's ESB. Under BJCP guidelines, Trooper is properly evaluated as 11C Strong Bitter, the strongest subcategory within the British Bitter family—though still very much a low-ABV, balance-driven beer. The episode explores Matt's long history with Trooper, including how its rarity and style alone made it an instant purchase when he first encountered it years ago. That history leads into a fascinating discovery: the vast global Iron Maiden beer lineup, brewed with multiple partners worldwide and spanning everything from lagers and IPAs to stouts, sake pilsners, and imperial beers—far beyond the single Trooper label most fans recognize. Using BJCP 11C Strong Bitter guidelines, Matt conducts a full judging breakdown, highlighting the beer's brilliant clarity, deep copper color, caramel-forward malt profile, restrained earthy hop character, and deceptively dry finish. While the beer hits many stylistic markers, excess sweetness and slightly muted bitterness hold it back in competition terms, resulting in a final score of 34 out of 50 (Very Good). As with many episodes, Matt emphasizes the distinction between judging to style and drinking for enjoyment. Despite the lower-than-expected score, he makes it clear that Trooper remains a beer he will gladly continue to drink whenever it's available. The episode then delivers a collection of savage one-star reviews, ranging from stale malt complaints to over-the-top Iron Maiden insults, providing some much-needed levity.

As you know we love gueuze. It might be our favorite style. We don't get to review them very often but this episode we have two of them. Both of these are special editions. Oud Beersel Oude Geuze Vieille - Barrel Select Foeder 21 is from 2022. Aged on white wine barrels, this geuze was blended with two other lambics also aged on white wine barrels. Boon Mariage Parfait 10 Golden Anniversary Edition is a 10% ABV geuze released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Boon.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gueuze #geuze #lambic

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Send us a textTwo beers, two moods, and one very honest split. We crack a Masthead Midwest Red IPA expecting a hint of caramel, only to be met with a grapefruit surge and a stubborn bitter finish that divides our panel. One of us gets a sharp, almost chemical edge and heavy carbonation; the other appreciates the hop punch and rides with it. If you've ever argued over an IPA at the table, you'll feel seen here, especially when we unpack how “red” sets malt expectations that “IPA” promptly bulldozes.Then we reset with a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Toasted Stout that eases in hot and settles into something rich and balanced. Oak, vanilla, a touch of marshmallow, and that warm bourbon finish deliver the kind of slow-sipper that makes sense on a cold night. We both land at 8 and talk through why “toasted” reads smoother than some barrel-aged bruisers. It's bold at 10% ABV without turning into syrup, and it pairs perfectly with stories about winter commutes, snow berms at the end of the driveway, and the simple victory of getting home for a well-earned pour.Between tastes, we veer into real life: salt shortages near a giant lake salt mine, whiteout clippers that follow you on Route 6, and a Queen tribute in a velvet-seat theater where you can actually sit, snack, and sing. That's the bigger theme—context flavors everything. Stress can make a bitter IPA feel harsher; a warm stout can feel like a blanket. Come for the tasting notes, stay for the banter, and leave with a short list of what to buy for your next storm night.If you enjoy candid beer reviews, subscribe on YouTube, follow along on your favorite podcast app, and drop your own scores.

The wine world is changing—and if you're drinking the same way you did five years ago, you're missing something. In this episode, we dive into the 2026 wine trends behind a quiet but powerful shift in how people drink today. Prestige labels and power wines are losing ground to lighter, fresher, more drinkable styles chosen for real life—not status. Heavy reds aren't disappearing, but they are being rethought, chilled, and replaced by wines that feel better at the table and easier to live with. We explore why crisp whites now outsell reds, how chillable reds and "bistro wines" became mainstream, and why forgotten categories like Marsala, sweet wines, and everyday bubbles are making an unexpected return. You'll hear how climate change, health awareness, sustainability, and rising prices are reshaping taste—and why value hunting has gone global, from Southern Italy to Greece and Portugal. This conversation also looks at low-ABV and no-ABV wines as part of intentional drinking rather than abstinence, and how celebrity influence and storytelling are changing the way people discover wine. If your wine preferences have shifted—or you're curious why the rules suddenly feel different—this episode will explain what's really going on. Wine in 2026 is lighter, colder, more affordable, and more human.

Wendy and Rob catch up in the new year and make some predictions for 2026. Predictions were about apples, the trend with IPAs, big releases, effects of consolidation, average ABV on shelves, and packaging formats.We also talk about non-alcoholic versions of styles and what that means when you get into things like beer judging, Untappd, or as a consumer looking to purchase a beer.Is Rob alone in having craft beer singles become rare to find around him?What are some breweries you think could be legacy breweries and how are they changing with the times? (Segment inspired by Beervana)Better on Draft is an independent podcast currently ad-free because the hosts have not gone looking for sponsors! 

Send us a textHit play for a wild mix of fresh YouTube energy, honest beer reviews, and storm-smart survival tips that could actually help when the power blinks. We went from cables and camera confusion to pouring two unforgettable beers: Nugget Nectar, a red-ale crossover that drinks like a friendly IPA, and Death's Tar, a bourbon-barrel bruiser that smacks with baker's chocolate and heat. One earns a rare perfect score on camera. The other? Let's just say if you love big oak and bigger bite, you'll have opinions.We keep it human and a little chaotic—road-trip “workation” stories, the kind of bar stops you only make when someone else is driving, and the humble reality of building a channel while the mics are live. Music heads will appreciate our detour into the Beastie Boys doc and a Puffy profile that raises questions about image, narrative control, and what happens when the camera never turns off. It's the pop-culture breather between tastings, and it sparks a sharp back-and-forth on what ages well, both in beer and in reputation.Then we get practical. With a winter system icing its way across multiple states, we trade no-nonsense pointers: water storage, safe heat, CO detectors, food you can stash outside, and a little terracotta trick for warming a small room if things get rough. Nothing preachy—just the kind of advice you'd text a friend before the roads glaze over. We wrap by weighing cost versus flavor on high-ABV stouts, doubling down on that Nugget Nectar recommendation, and celebrating a clutch golf league night because small wins matter.If you're into craft beer, bourbon-barrel stouts, music documentaries, or simply want real talk about storm prep without fear-mongering, this one's for you.

Luxury shows up in the small moments, not the marble — and that idea sits at the core of this episode of #NoVacancyNews. I spent time with Christophe Baraton, General Manager of Shutters on the Beach, to talk about what hospitality looks like when you lead from the property level instead of a spreadsheet. Christophe runs a 30-year-old beachfront hotel with deep roots in its local community, long-tenured team members, and guests who return because they feel known. We talk about leadership during crisis, how Shutters became a refuge for locals during the Los Angeles fires, and why anticipation—not opulence—defines modern #luxury. What stood out to me is how clearly he connects culture to results. When employees feel cared for, guests feel it immediately. We cover:

After braving the Black Friday crowds outside Binny's and pissing in bottles in now temperate weather, Alex and Stephen have sourced a horizontal of all six of Goose Island's Bourbon Country Brand Stout releases from this year. They'll be goosin' it, they'll be loosin', and they'll be Power Rankin' it to see how this year's Chicago Juice stacks up. Nothing like 14% ABV beers in the AM to kick off the new year.
