Podcasts about best beers

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. This is America in 2025 - enjoy the Beer Engine Podcast. ★ Support this podcast ★

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 ★

We talk the pros and cons of this Royals team 5 games in, new NFL news coming out of Jacksonville and what is the best beer their is? Not brand but place. Shower beer, yard beer etc.

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 ★

GDP Script/ Top Stories for March 20th Publish Date: March 20th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, March 20th and Happy birthday to Fred Rodgers ***03.20.25 - BIRTHDAY – FRED RODGERS*** I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. GGC expert offers recession insights and strategies Gwinnett prisoner convicted of selling fentanyl to fellow inmates, who overdosed on the drugs More than 5,000 enjoy annual Suwanee Beer Fest Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: GGC expert offers recession insights and strategies Dr. Philip Vinson, economics professor at Georgia Gwinnett College, explains that recessions are triggered by unique, unpredictable factors like tariffs, political instability, or technological disruptions, rather than predictable cycles. He highlights current risks, including global instability and a potential AI bubble burst, which could lead to declining sales, layoffs, and rising unemployment. Inflation complicates Federal Reserve responses, as lowering interest rates could worsen it. Vinson advises individuals to prepare by building savings for potential unemployment and avoiding panic stock sales, suggesting downturns can offer long-term investment opportunities. STORY 2: Gwinnett prisoner convicted of selling fentanyl to fellow inmates, who overdosed on the drugs Harry Fomby, 54, was convicted of murder and drug charges for smuggling fentanyl into the Gwinnett County Correctional Complex, leading to the overdose deaths of inmates Corey Bryant, 22, and Ian Longshore, 36, in September 2021. Evidence included surveillance footage, X-ray scans, and recorded phone calls linking Fomby to the drug distribution. He received two life sentences. District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson emphasized the dangers of fentanyl and the need for prevention efforts, mourning the loss of two lives that could have been turned around. STORY 3: More than 5,000 enjoy annual Suwanee Beer Fest The 14th annual Suwanee Beer Fest brought 5,000 attendees to Town Center Park on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, featuring 400 craft beers from 107 breweries. Ranked the No. 1 beer festival by USA Today Readers’ Choice Awards, the event included live music, costume contests, and interactive activities like axe throwing and inflatable beer pong. Attendees voted for their favorite brews, with StillFire Brewing’s Black Mask Imperial Stout winning Best Beer in Georgia. The festival celebrated craft beer culture with vibrant costumes, engaging vendors, and a strong sense of community. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 3 STORY 4: GBI: Towns County firefighter shared photos of scene where Lawrenceville twins died Towns County firefighter Scott Kerlin, 42, was arrested for obstruction after allegedly sharing photos from the scene where 19-year-old twin brothers Qaadir and Naazir Lewis were found dead on Bell Mountain, Georgia, on March 8. The brothers, who had gunshot wounds, were initially ruled a murder-suicide by the GBI, though their family disputes this claim. Kerlin was fired following his arrest. Autopsies are complete, but the final cause of death awaits further forensic tests. The twins’ family is calling for deeper investigation, believing the deaths were not self-inflicted. STORY 5: YMCA of Metro Atlanta Opens Registration for 2025 Summer Day Camps The YMCA of Metro Atlanta has opened registration for its 2025 summer day camps, offering children ages 5-15 a chance to build confidence, develop character, and stay active. Camps, available at 18 locations, include traditional activities like games and outdoor exploration, as well as specialty options like cooking, basketball, drama, and STEAM. Programs run Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with extended care options. YMCA President Lauren Koontz emphasized the camps' focus on fostering friendships, curiosity, and personal growth. Families can register online or at local branches. Break 3: And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food *** INGLES ASK LEAH (FAST FOOD)*** We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Ingles Markets 4 Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

All hail the golden age of beer! Today there are nearly nine thousand breweries in the US alone, brewing an enormous range of styles from imperial stouts to double India pale ales, golden pilsners, briny melon goses, and much more. But while this breadth can delight the taste buds all year, how does one choose what to drink without feeling overwhelmed or defaulting to the same brews again and again? Acclaimed beer expert Tom Acitelli presents a fifty-two week guide to choosing the perfect beer to complement every week of the year. With tasting notes, brand recommendations, a guide to how to best serve, sip, and savor, plus fascinating backstories and trivia, Acitelli unearths what beer lovers actually care about and reveals how to appreciate the best that the golden age of beer has to offer.You can get a copy of the book HERERecorded at Notch Brewing - Brighton( Boston) March 5, 2025  

Best Beer gardens in Michigan? Jumpman Cheeto?

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 ★

Send us a textIn this episode we go over Untappd's 2024 Community Awards which spotlights the top beers of the past year in each beer style. Tom and Dan go over the national awards won by some of our favorite local breweries and then talk about some of the top beers in each style in the state of New Jersey. Some surprising results but of no surprise - New York and New Jersey dominated by winning many national awards, but not necessarily winning the categories you may have expected.Also in this episode, we bid farewell to Brotherton Brewing who announced their closing after 10 years in the craft beer game. Sporting a 3.85 Untappd average on their beers, there is still time to visit the brewery before the end of the month. Also - Chase from Top Beer Drops stops by and goes over the top new beers in the country according to Untappd - a list that is led by a collab of two local breweries that we love. Tune in and hear us slug back some barleywine and talk about the new releases from local breweries that caught our eye, including the many breweries participating in Forest and Main's March Mildness. 

Join us on our latest episode where we talk about all things alcohol, with a special emphasis on alcohol history in the United States.  And of course we try a new beverage during our discussion.  Another one from Side Project Brewing out of Maplewood, Missouri.  Featured beer: 10 Year Barleywine, a 17% barrel aged English Barleywine from Side Project Brewing.  Per the description from the brewery, "More than 2 years ago we began brewing in anticipation of this day, focusing on a blended Barleywine for this release and showcasing a truly special beer, M.J.K. in a new light. This beer consists of single and double barrel-aged M.J.K. finished for 18 to 27 months in Willett Family Estate Bourbon Barrels. A thoughtful splash of Längst reigns in the intensity and finishes the character of this special blend of deep, rich, luxurious English Barleywines."What kind of alcohol did America prefer throughout history?  How much do Americans really drink? Why can Side Project (rarely) do no wrong?   Only one way to find out...https://www.sideprojectbrewing.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop2Y1TZ5o91gVE3s8U8JwVearVY3dQNm2hgjxFFyu3KlQkdbciwhttps://untappd.com/b/side-project-brewing-10-year-barleywine/5543191#newrelease #craftbeerreview #merica #beer #sideproject #barleywine #barrelaged #bourbon #drinkreview #podcast #isitworthit #arsenicculture  Go Home America, You're Drunk (and Side Project part 3)-E104https://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

A San Diego county family is asking for help, finding the driver who hit and killed a marine veteran. Frustration growing in City Heights, as businesses say a major construction project is hurting their bottom line. A local pub gets national recognition, dubbed the "Best Beer Bar" in the country. NBC 7's Steven Luke has what you need to know to start your Thursday.

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 ★

HVAC still isn't working great. We go through things Boomers do better than Millennials. Next, we talk about some great examples of "F*ck around and find out." Then, we discuss who we think is going to die first. (01:08:36) In the next segment, we snake draft the best types of beer. We end with one fun fact.Check out the Patron Choice Awards!

In this hour Chris and Amy are joined by KMOX Democrat Political Analyst Michael Kelley to talk about the St. Louis primary and President Trump speaking Tuesday night. Where is St. Louis when it comes to the best beer city. KMOX Sport Open Line Host Matt Pauley joins to provide an update on Jordan Walker. Few spots being fought for in camp, Albert Pujols wanting to be a manager and the Blues fighting for a playoff spot. Finally the egg beat.

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 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 ★

Everyone takes a shot, grimacing playfully at the bitter bite, followed by cheers and stories about their first encounters with the infamous spirit. The camaraderie grows as the group toasts to the perfect day, the combination of laughter, llamas, and a touch of Malört creating unforgettable memories under the fading golden light. ★ 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 ★
