What is it like being in a game where you are losing 79-0, or it ends 100-12? What's it like being in the AF1, your floundering sponsorship from the Hulkster holding you hostage, forcing you to watch your team get obliterated by a QB who completes 10 passes, 7 for touchdowns, for a robust 110 yards? Do you look at everything that led you to this moment: the tears on the HS practice field, the brutal Summer training sessions in college, the letdowns on practice squads with the NFL, the XFL, the UFL? Now you're here on the field for the East Kansas Pork Butts and you're losing by 100 points. Where did it go wrong? You fell into that well that one time and hit your head and discovered a bunch of 70s porno mags. Maybe that was it? It was after you'd done really bad at figuring out the Untappd ratings for a bunch of grocery store beers or something? Maybe that was the moment. But now you're in the locker room of the Buttman Arena and no one is there to interview you after the game. A gen AI model  generates some quotes that you didn't say and slaps them into a shitty article by a fake man named Lyle Biscuit.

What if there were a super league for the NCAA Tournament? Like, they took 8 teams that were just too good for the real thing and faced them off against each other. That would rock, and we did that today on the Beer Engine Pod.Also, we took down the dead pope and absolutely did not make it political! I made a live bet on the Nuggets. And some of our favorites are now top 50 breweries due to attrition. Tony is stuck in the well all week?? What's he gonna do down there?!? ★ Support this podcast ★

Greetings fellow pizza eaters and beer drinkers. Ah, mine pizza needeth 10 more minutes! Shan't we enjoy a flagon of ale to cure our ails? Thine titular ethos are becoming quite the pedant in thine pantaloons! (Is that something?)This week - some basketball had to be recapped as some of the basketball teams of great engines of the Beer Episode past had to be covered. The Arena Football season trudges on with an all Kansas showdown.  Griff wins the pizza group by eating the world's thinnest “pie” and “za” and Tony goes full woke mode with prosciutto. Ultimately, they reach the final showdown and most important question the podcast has ever asked - which beer is better? Toohey's Extra Dry or Hahn Premium Special Dry Light??? We'll never know. ★ Support this podcast ★

Well, I'll be! That is one extremely low rated beer by the Miller Brewing Company. Congrats! Today we talked about Tony's time at GABS, how to order food for takeout  for the future and Australian triple doublers. Griff is back on the pastry stouts and Michael's Pizza, it's like 2018 all over again on this show! Then there is this week's bracket, which features some of the saddest beers you can buy at the Dollar General.  ★ Support this podcast ★

Looks like the Beer Engine Pod wasn't the only ones out there doing a bracket. The fine City of Chicago and their elusive Mayor have selected their favorite pizza place and it is the Pizza Group's most beloved spot. You'll just have to listen to find out. Anyways we also had some beers this week, Griff went psycho mode on Beers of the Week and a fun region in the bracket game that will have you enjoying some precious memories. ★ Support this podcast ★

The bracket contest is BACK! Everyone's favorite segment returns at the end of this show. The well is stocked with magazines and toys and Tony is doing his “very best” to keep out of there as he has to guess which is better: Michelob Golden Ultra Light Gold Bock, or Natty Daddy ICE Baddie? Good luck binch! Anyways, Tony and I spent way too much time on Bulls crap and we had a highly disjointed AF1 update of the week - it seems like the league has been around for years and yet they've only played 6 games and one team has somehow been in 3 of them? Also, the show has a bad and dangerous text message leak and we are sent to the gulag. Tony revisited some of his favorite Maffcos and Mountain Cultures and I tried to figure out if Luka Modric's brewery is as good and cool as him. Next week! The bracket returns with the RETRO BEERS!! Do you like Natty Boh? Do you like Old Style?? Do you like STAG?!?! Then tune in!!!! ★ Support this podcast ★

I'm only giving it that title so we can catch some of those beautiful viral downloads. We need them! We kicked off our new segment today, as promised, with the AF1 Update of the Week. Another banger as usual where I had no idea where anyone was and we did a word count check and a BET. Also some amazing St. Patrick's Day content, the return of U*tra R**ht Beer to Fox News (hint: lawsuit), and Chicago Bulls - NBA Champions? Probably not. But we did have some fun with Guinness and meet some new Untappd superstars. All of that on one podcast? Well, if you meander for multiple hours and don't edit, you've got plenty of time!! ★ Support this podcast ★

We have been forced to give up the XFL / UFL Update of the Week. Sadly, losing famous sportswriter uhh…that guy, has left us with no choice. Without 9000 words per week on each of my favorite games, and some of the worst puns I've ever heard, there's really no point. No, it's time to shift over to Kansas's #1 sports league - the Arena Football One, sponsored by Hulk Hogan. We discuss the upcoming format changes coming due to our new relationship with AF1. Oh and also there was a bunch of pizza stuff and Tony went to Melbourne and had 100 beers and pizza. There it is, 110 minutes on WAX for your listening pleasure. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ahh, another week in Boingo's America, or Tony's America? This week we talk about the Tonysphere hitting the USA (“sir, another weird  guy that Tony watches on TV has hit the cabinet”). Griff puts in overtime at the Stamp and pays the price for a few hours. Tony gets super sweaty, and so do some of the beers. And an absolutely unnecessary rant on aging NBA wings.We also participate in a TOTALLY NON-BEER related game called “Ernest Gets a Beer Contract.” or something, I forgot already. Did we ever see Ernest drink a beer? I bet we would have if his movies had come out in the “Dodgeball” era. Ernest makes an IPA. Ernest puts a marshmallow into a his stout. Ernest uses 2000 pounds of coconut? One of these will work.   ★ Support this podcast ★

It's important for us to cover these shelf battles between Hulk Hogan, an “every day carry” gun and holster company, and the Conservative Dad. Who else will give you the updates you need on these weirdos who all made the same cheap shitty beer marked up by 300%? That's right, it's the Beer Engine. We also use our journalist bonafides to cover the newly created “American Craft Beer Hall of Fame” which, coincidentally, did not induct The Hulkster. Who was more influential: Rasheed Wallace or Jim Koch? This is some classic bar chatter right here. ★ Support this podcast ★

A just-in-time “Big Game” preview from the fellas this week, as they break down all of the most important things that happened over just THIS WEEK. Only THIS WEEK was considered! The RECENT basketball trades were discussed as were the most interesting pizza content from THIS WEEK, THIS ONE! Plus, some major fallout from the Drippies that appeared to be loaded with metaphor, unintelligible to our poor hosts. There was a bracket contest in here too, so if you love that stuff, you're gonna be hooting and hollering!!! ★ Support this podcast ★

The rising price of eggs is absolutely maddening, and it feels like an unnecessary burden on everyday people. Eggs, a staple in most households, have become a luxury item for many families, forcing tough choices between affordability and nutrition. What used to be a reliable, low-cost source of protein has been turned into another example of how basic needs are increasingly out of reach. It's infuriating to see prices soar without clear solutions or accountability from those who hold the power to address these issues.While several factors contribute to the problem, including supply chain disruptions, avian flu outbreaks, and inflation, much of the blame falls on corporations and policymakers who fail to mitigate the impact on consumers. Large agribusinesses prioritize profits over stabilizing supply chains, while policymakers seem disconnected from the reality of struggling families. Instead of enacting meaningful measures to curb price hikes or support local farming initiatives, they leave everyday people scrambling to make ends meet. It's a systemic failure, and the lack of action only deepens the frustration. ★ Support this podcast ★

Emma Callahan is a proud Chicago native who runs a cozy neighborhood pizzeria, lovingly carrying on her late grandfather's legacy of making authentic Chicago-style thin-crust pizza. Her passion for the craft extends beyond her shop; she's an active member of the Facebook group "Chicago-style Thin Crust Pizza We Don't Call It %avern Style," a tight-knit but fiery online community dedicated to celebrating Chicago's unsung hero: the thin crust pizza.Enter Liam Harper, a food blogger and recent transplant to Chicago. Hoping to stir up content for his blog, Liam joins the group with a bold (and divisive) take: Chicago thin crust isn't even the best pizza in the city. His comment sets off a heated debate that Emma can't resist jumping into, defending her family's beloved style with biting humor and plenty of sass.When the group moderator, tired of the constant back-and-forth, suggests a real-life “Crust-Off” to settle their debate, Emma and Liam find themselves reluctantly paired to co-host the event. Their task? Showcase the best of Chicago thin crust pizza to a panel of judges and the community.As Emma and Liam clash over sauce recipes, topping combinations, and the perfect crust-to-cheese ratio, their mutual disdain begins to melt away like mozzarella under a broiler. Liam comes to admire Emma's deep connection to her craft, while Emma starts to appreciate Liam's fresh perspective and enthusiasm for storytelling.But just as sparks start to fly, Emma discovers Liam's initial intention to write a satirical blog post about the group. Feeling betrayed, she must decide whether to forgive him and trust that his newfound love for Chicago thin crust—and for her—is genuine.Set against the backdrop of Chicago's vibrant neighborhoods, A Crust Above the Rest is a heartwarming and savory love story about finding common ground, appreciating tradition, and discovering that some of the best things in life are served thin and crispy. ★ Support this podcast ★

Here's a possible plot for a movie called Bogan Frosty:In the rugged outback town of Frosty Gully, notorious local bogan (Australian hillbilly) Mick “Frosty” Frost lives a chaotic life of beer-fueled mischief, dirt-track racing, and endless brawls at the pub. Frosty is the kind of guy everyone loves to hate—loud, brash, and always at the center of trouble. But when a big-city mining corporation threatens to destroy the town's beloved watering hole and the surrounding bushland to dig for gold, Frosty unexpectedly becomes the town's unlikely hero.Armed with little more than his trusty Ute (pickup truck), an ancient BBQ grill, and his loyal blue heeler dog named Bundy, Frosty rallies the mismatched locals to save their town. Along the way, he faces off against corporate goons, navigates complicated family drama, and discovers a hidden talent for inspiring people—mostly by accident.Through beer-soaked barbecues, high-speed chases through the bush, and laugh-out-loud blunders, Frosty learns that being a bogan isn't just about flannel shirts and mullets—it's about heart, loyalty, and standing up for what really matters. In the end, Frosty may just prove that even the roughest bloke can become a legend.This would be a mix of comedy, action, and a touch of heartwarming redemption—a true Aussie romp! ★ Support this podcast ★

If Alan Jones, the Australian media personality known for his conservative views and often controversial commentary, met Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and founder of Infowars, over a 75-cent beer, it would likely be an intense and entertaining interaction.Here's how such a meeting might unfold:Shared Conservative Views: Both Alan and Alex share right-wing ideologies, though they often express them in different ways. Alan is known for his provocative political commentary and influence in Australian media, while Alex is known for promoting conspiracy theories, such as those around 9/11, vaccines, and government control. They'd probably find common ground on issues related to government control, censorship, and free speech.  Conflict of Personalities: Despite some ideological overlap, their personal styles are different. Alan is more traditional in his approach and less flamboyant, while Alex's theatrics and tendency to embrace outlandish ideas could lead to some friction. Alan may view Alex's extreme positions as over-the-top, while Alex might think Alan is too moderate or constrained.  The 75-Cent Beer: Over a beer priced so cheaply, the conversation could become colorful. A 75-cent beer is not likely to be a premium beverage, and both men might mock the low price as emblematic of the "decline of society" or something to that effect. Alternatively, the beer might serve as a metaphor for the cheapening of media and political discourse in their respective countries.  The Conversation: They could get into debates over globalism, media manipulation, or political correctness. Alan Jones might bring in his criticisms of Australia's political leadership, while Alex Jones could dive into broader, international conspiracy theories. While the beer might loosen their tongues, it could also amplify their combative tendencies, leading to a shouting match about the media or government control.  In the end, while they might bond over their shared distrust of mainstream media, the outcome of this hypothetical encounter would likely be a mix of camaraderie, conflict, and a lot of grandstanding, perhaps with a dose of humor about the cheap beer they're sharing.If Alan Jones, the Australian media personality known for his conservative views and often controversial commentary, met Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and founder of Infowars, over a 75-cent beer, it would likely be an intense and entertaining interaction. ★ Support this podcast ★

If Sammy "The Bull" Gravano played for the Chicago Bulls, it would definitely make for an interesting and unlikely scenario. Instead of basketball plays, you could imagine Gravano pulling off "plays" in a much different way—using his street smarts and strategic thinking, honed from his time as a notorious mobster, to outwit opponents.On the court, Gravano's toughness and ability to stay calm under pressure might translate into a gritty, no-nonsense style of play. He might not have the leaping ability of Michael Jordan or the finesse of Scottie Pippen, but he could probably be relied on as a gritty defender or a mastermind behind setting up others—using his "mob" mentality for team cohesion, always looking to control the game behind the scenes.Off the court, his presence could change the team dynamics entirely. With his notorious history, he might bring an intimidating aura that could either galvanize the team or create a culture of fear and secrecy. And of course, his connections to some of the most powerful figures in the city might make for some very interesting off-the-court drama.In a way, the Chicago Bulls could have used his underworld connections to strike deals or garner additional support in ways that went beyond the basketball court, but that might also lead to plenty of trouble, both legally and morally, for the organization. In the end, Sammy might be a legendary figure, but definitely one who would have brought a ton of drama and controversy to the world of professional basketball! ★ Support this podcast ★

In Shoe'd In, two quirky best friends, Tony and Griff, hit Vegas with dreams of striking it rich at the blackjack tables. Tony is a hopeless romantic who's always been unlucky in love, while Griff is a thrill-seeking gambler with a penchant for wild ideas. Their trip takes an unexpected turn when they encounter an ancient, sentient blackjack shoe named Ace at a run-down casino on the outskirts of town. Ace is no ordinary casino artifact—he's a wisecracking, smooth-talking shoe with the ability to predict card outcomes, but with one goal in mind: helping Tony find his soulmate.Ace immediately takes a liking to the duo, recognizing Tony's romantic woes and Griff's reckless ways. He devises a plan to guide Tony toward Cassandra, a blackjack dealer at the casino who's equally disillusioned with Vegas and its fleeting nature. As Tony fumbles his way through awkward interactions with Cassandra, Ace coaches him on what to say and how to play it cool, much to Griff's amusement. The three form an unlikely team, bonding over their shared goals of love, luck, and winning big.Cassandra, unaware of Ace's sentience, starts to notice Tony's increasing charm and their mutual love for the game. As she deals hand after hand, she begins to see that there's more to him than just another tourist looking for a quick win. Meanwhile, Griff embarks on his own quest for riches with Ace's guidance, but his hot streak quickly turns into a series of chaotic, comedic misadventures across the Strip, highlighting the madness of Vegas life.Tension arises when a rival gambler discovers Ace's powers and tries to steal the shoe for his own gains. Tony, Griff, and Cassandra must band together to protect their new friend and keep him out of the wrong hands. Through a mix of hilarious hijinks and heartfelt moments, Tony grows closer to Cassandra, realizing that sometimes love, like blackjack, is about more than just the cards you're dealt.In the end, Shoe'd In is a charming and offbeat buddy comedy about friendship, love, and the unpredictability of Vegas. With the help of their magical, sentient sidekick, Tony finally wins more than just money—he wins Cassandra's heart, proving that fate, and sometimes a little bit of magic, plays a hand in everyone's luck. ★ Support this podcast ★

Peter Symons, author of True Blue Brews - The Origins of Australian Beer, seeks a looser definition of "lager."

An Australian beer festival starts today in Sydney and then it's off to Brisbane and Melbourne. At the very end, the highlight is a world record attempt — a World Record Beer Tasting Session.

It brings us a lot of joy to continue to shine a light on the amazing craft beer scene in Australia here on the pod, and the latest returning Aussie legend is Mirek from The Mill. First appearing on the podcast back in 2018, Mirek joined Cee to catch up on what's been happening for the last 5 years, the growth of the beer scene in Collingwood (a suburb of Melbourne where The Mill is based), their move into a production facility, how their brewpub has developed and the importance of their food partner, why it's key for them to deliver beer that everyone can enjoy, the state of the Aussie beer scene, a deep dive into both the Australian and New Zealand hop growing world, and their barrel program. Mirek crushed their Solana West Coast Pilsner and Haze NEIPA, while Cee cracked open a bottle of their 2018 variant of The Great Russian, a Starward barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout.

Whenever the pod comes full circle, it's a beautiful thing. We first had Brendo on the pod back in Episode #29 of the original series when he ran The Public Brewery in Melbourne, Australia. When we reached out to get Dereck of Bad Shepherd back on, we were stoked to learn that Brendo had joined the team. Dereck and Brendan hung out with Cee to chat about landing their Double Choc Hazelnut Brown Ale in the LCBO in Ontario, how the Aussie beer scene has grown over the years and comparisons with Canada, they broke down the voluntary administration process that the business recently went through, how Aussie consumer brands are commoditizing and how it relates to beer, and whether there will ever be a Bad Shepherd in Canada. They got into the Double Choc Hazelnut Brown Ale, of course, and two versions of their Alkonost Russian Imperial Stout - one from 2019 (Cee) and one from 2021 (Dereck and Brendo).

In 2023, the Australian Beer market was shocked by the announcement that a beloved brewery that had been awarded close to 40 medals for their beer was shutting down.  After 9 years blazing the path of Australia's craft beer scene, Exit Brewing was planning to exit the brewing industry.  Around 2010, Grum & Frase had been inspired to start a brewery after spending time in Europe immersed in their beer culture. 4 years later they released their first beer, a saison. As their company grew, they expanded to an off-site taproom, followed by national and then international distribution.  But, like most of us, they couldn't seem to find whatever rock profitability was hiding under. They tried rebrands, new beers, new partnerships. Frase left to get a real job.  I sat down with Grum to find out what happened, what went wrong and what the future of the Australian Craft Beer scene looks like. Hint: Grum exited it.  So open your minds and ears and listen to the story of Craig "Grum" Knight and Melbourne Australia's Exit Brewing. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exit Brewing website⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exit Brewing Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exit Brewing Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exit Brewing X⁠ Uitgang Bar website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Exit Brewing Opening Announcement⁠⁠ Exit Brewing Closing Announcement⁠⁠⁠ Episode Sponsored by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Accubrew⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brewery Direct⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simpson Motorcycle Helmets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Made To Measure Communications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Somnifix⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (use DAMNBREWERY at checkout for 10% off) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to get my Damn Book⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/damnbrewery/support

One of our fave breweries back home in Australia is Banks Brewing (formerly known as Mr. Banks Brewing), and since it's been a few years since we last touched base, we were well overdue. Founder Chris and Cee chatted about Banks' recent name change and rebrand, the state of the Australian craft beer scene, why quality is the new hype, whether Australia has "hype chasers" like North America, the origin of the Oat Cream IPA in Australia, why LUKR pours are amazing, how the Aussie excise tax works, their shared love of third wave coffee, why breweries in Australia are closing, and how beer distribution works Down Under. Cee got into two beers from Banks - 60% Of The Time It Works Every Time Triple IPA, and Don't Chase Me I'm Full Of Chocolate Pastry Stout. Chris didn't drink as two double-digit ABV brews at 1pm wouldn't be so good on a work day. This was fascinating - cheers!

Why does beer flavor matter so much? I mean, as long as it tastes good, what else is important? Can we actually get a sense of place through flavor? My next guest seems to think so and is here to share this, and Australian culture through the flavor of beer.    In his book “Tasting Beer”, Randy Mosher tells us, “Like any aspect of a consciously lived life, enjoying beer to the fullest takes education, experience, and a proper frame of mind.” That's why educators like Briony are so important. Without them, a beer is just a beer, which would be a shame, because it is so much more.  We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.
