Who are the Buckeyes prepared to exceed expectations in 2023, to elevate their games beyond what most fans anticipate? On this Kings of Columbus, Doug Lesmerises, Bill Landis, Austin Ward and Jeremy Birmingham all pick an Ohio State player they believe will go over and above this season. There's a pass rusher, a ball carrier, a potential pass catcher, and yes, an offensive lineman thanks to Landis.Then Doug and Bill wrap it up with Whatcha Watchin', Eatin' and Thinkin' on hot chicken, bacon, socks, Swamp Kings and the start of the football season.And don't forget to join The Podcast for a live show on Monday, Aug. 28 at Land-Grant Brewing in Columbus, starting at 6:30.

This week Gary drinks a bourbon from Uncle Mike's private stash, and let's just say that the 131 proof Stagg Jr. Batch 18 almost breaks him. David also drinks a higher ABV beer as he cracks open Land-Grant's We Should Start a Podcast.Stagg Jr. might be the son of George T. Stagg bourbon, but it packs a punch. It's unfiltered and uncut, and it ages for nearly a decade. And it's not for the faint of heart. Some say that the bold character is reminiscent of Mr. Stagg himself.Land-Grant Brewing in Columbus always puts out some unique beers, and this week David tries their We Should Start A Podcast Double IPA. It's packed with citra, strata, and Columbus hops and comes in at a heft 8%. It's dank, fruity, and smooth. The guys from Land-Grant also have their own podcast, called Beers With the Brewers.This week we also chat about Athletic Brewing and Super Coffee teaming up for the world's first non-alcoholic pre-workout brew, breweries using ChatGPT to write beer recipes, and discuss whether the bourbon industry in Kentucky deserves a tax break.Make sure to visit Beers and Beards Podcast for a full list of our episodes.Use our NEW code “BeersBeards10” for 10% off at Rivalry Brews as well as 10% off at BeardOctane.com with code BeersBeards10.We also have a new sponsor in Athletic Brewing Co., the largest maker of non-alcoholic craft beer.

For this week's episode, we are joined by Walt Keys and Mark Richards from Land Grant Brewing Company (Columbus, OH) and talk all about beer! We discuss beer's long history, explore the brewing process, and learn what it's like to operate a brewery.

This episode was originally released March 15th, 2019.For episode 38, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) talk with Matt Hazard (@winedope) about the most recent invitational Vintage tournament he held at his house, and how you can host similar local events.00:30 – Matt Hazard, Magic Man01:00 – Just Because We Haven’t Adequately Tested London Mulligan Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Share Extremely Uninformed Opinions About It08:20 – The Return of the Hazardvitational and How to Host Your OwnTotal runtime: 40:43 Baselessly Speculating About London Vintage (and Magic in general) has been in a bit of a snit recently as players discuss the implications of the London mulligan, which will be tested at the upcoming Mythic Championship II. If the test goes well, the new rules would replace the current Vancouver mulligan rules. In brief, the London mulligan has players continue to draw seven cards for each mulligan and then put a card on the bottom of the library for each time they’ve mulliganed. So if you mulligan twice, you’ll draw seven cards, pick your five favorite, and put two cards on the bottom of your library. We’ve tested with this a few times in Middle School and Vintage pickup games, and it hasn’t made a huge amount of difference in most games. Where you’re keeping seven or six cards, for example, it’s equivalent to the current, or nearly so. At more than four mulligans (keeping three cards or fewer), you’re still so far behind on materiel that your chances are vastly depleted, even if you keep a solid looking trio or pair of cards. So the real test seems to be in keeping four or five cards, where you might have a powerful way to recover—Ancestral Recall, or Workshop-Trinisphere for example. Regardless, even with this potentially strengthened mulligan rule, we don’t think you want to mulligan. Cards are just too powerful a resource. So we don’t think this will be too-too upsetting for Eternal formats. In reality it will just make players feel better when they have to mulligan a long way down. But! In any case, it would be a shame if Mishra’s Workshop or Bazaar of Baghdad to be restricted based on a mulligan rule change, since they’ve been vibrant parts of the metagame for so long. How to Run a Magic Tournament at Your House A couple weeks ago 29 players showed up at the home of Matt Hazard in Columbus, hungry for the competition of a Vintage tournament and the fun of a casual environment. For an average suburban house, that’s a lot of people, particularly if you need them to have enough room between them to comfortably play a game of Magic. Matt and his wife, Trece, have hosted a similar event for four years in a row now, growing in scale each year. The first few years they had three dogs and two cats, and now they have a young kid to contend with among all the hubbub. And they do a great job! This is one of the Ohio Vintage community’s favorite tournaments. There are so many things to take into account if you want to host a similar event, but it can be done. Aspects include: seating, tournament organization, food and drinks, and prizes. Butts in ChairsThe first thing Matt suggested was making sure you have enough places to put the games. His dining-room table only seats six, so with 23 more players to fit, we were spread out at the kitchen island (4), another table in the dining room (6), the living room (4), and the basement (8), including games on an ottoman and some borrowed folding tables. Knowing how many players you’ll be serving gives you a sense of scope for the event. Be realistic about how many you can host, and be firm in capping the event if necessary. It will be more than uncomfortable to cram players in where there’s not actually enough room for them. Names in SpreadsheetsThen you need to put all those players into some sort of tournament organizer software. Wizards Event Reporter is the “official” software but shouldn’t technically be used for events with playtest cards. Plus everyone in WER needs a DCI number. We are more likely to use MtG Arena (not the online MTG game), which is free and uses the same algorithm to calculate player rankings. It requires only a Google ID to login, and the only difficulty is that it’s hard to re-pair if something gets off mid-round. You can print off pairings, or put them on a big TV, or just shout them out. For smaller events, a little yelling never hurt anyone. I’ll also recommend knowing and making clear how many rounds will be played and how a winner will be determined, so there’s no confusion toward the end. Typically you play N Swiss rounds for P players, where 2N – P isn’t negative. So 3 rounds for 8 players, 4 rounds for 8 to 16, 5 rounds for 16 to 32, and 6 rounds for wow, you have a lot of friends. There are plenty of options to determine a winner: Swiss and elimination rounds (usually top-eight for more than 16 players), Swiss+1, or – as Josh suggested for small events – round robin. BeveragesThe Hazardvitational and other events at peoples’ houses (like TSI Steveland, which we talked about recently) have asked players to bring their own drinks. It helps make sure everyone has something they like and takes a lot of burden off the hosts for supplying. Team Serious tends to go through a lot of Jägermeister, Malört, and Hamm’s because we hate ourselves. This year we even imported the “Dressed Hamm’s” from Chicago, which is better than it sounds, really. Food Breaks Are NiceOur home-based events have also typically included a break in the middle of the event for food. The Hazard’s had everyone throw money in a bowl for a big pizza order from Columbus-area favorite Donato’s, ending up with 15 large pizzas in all (almost half a pizza per person). Geoff’s invitationals have ordered in subs or burritos from Jimmy John’s or Chipotle. Coordinating a big grill-fest of burgers and hotdogs has worked as well too at events, in part because someone who’s not playing can serve as grillmaster. Regardless, food helps ground everyone and is another event people can socialize around. Prizes Are Nice TooAnd of course there are prizes to think of. Some Team Serious Invitational series have traditional prize structures that ask for entry fees and then condense those to pay out to the top four or eight players. This can be tricky since the prizes have to be bought in advance with a prospective amount of money based on the number of confirmed players. Often players or teammates are interested in selling cards to this venture, but you have to hope that the right mix of cards comes available at the same time as the money or risk over- or under-spending for prizes. The Hazardvitational bypasses this hangup by skipping the entry fee and asking players to donate prizes, suggesting a value of $20 or more. Cards are frequent additions to the pool, and we’ve had things like Dual Lands, Jaces, Commander decks, complete sets, and various user-created packages. Jake Hilty put a complete Middle School deck in the pool for this event, which was awesome. We’ve also had non-Magic prizes like alcohol (including Josh Chapple’s prize of bitters and a cocktail recipe book) and even a Sawzall, which went highly in the structure. Recent additions to the prize pool have been “mystery box” prizes, which are pretty much what they sound like. The sky’s the limit, and part of the prize is the fun of opening an unknown quantity. Ben Perry consistently outdoes himself in this category, as this year’s “Do Not Open” box included a choice of keeping a Tundra or one of two further mystery packages. The chosen prizes were intended to be given to other players of the winner’s choice and turned out to be more Middle School cards. In the end there are lots of ways to put a home tournament together. These are just basic ideas, and you can feel free to modify as necessary. In Case You Want to StreamI also didn’t get a chance to mention this in the podcast, but I devised a much-improved streaming rig for holding a camera above a game of Magic. Instead of using two vertical posts with a crossbar, I got a boom stand with a single counterweighted arm, like this. What an improvement! The stand can be put to either side of the table, or even behind one of the players, and is so much stabler than the previous crossbar. I was able to glue the camera to a section of dowel and use the protective cap as a method of attachment to the end of the boom, so the camera screws on and off and angles can be adjusted. I didn’t have sand to weigh the bag, so obviously I used basic lands. I’m really pleased with this new setup and am looking forward to using it in the future. Working With Land Grant In the last episode we talked about an upcoming (now past) Old School event run alongside Magic Fest Cleveland, hosted by the Cleveland Rocs at BottleHouse Brewery and Mead Hall. The event ran smoothly, everyone had a great time, and the event organizers were able to donate more than $1,700 to Providence House, a Cleveland-area family crisis center. This episode we talk about contacting Land Grant Brewing to help us make a more fun event by providing fine liquid refreshment to players. Josh Chapple operates under a policy of “Don’t ask, don’t get,” so he asked and we got. In this case we told them that Land Grant is actually a Magic card, and they asked for one for their trophy case. A fair exchange, for sure. There’s a lot of power in the Magic community, even among smaller groups like local Vintage or Old School scenes. Charity events are wonderful opportunities to combine the people-power and (let’s be honest) money inherent in these groups and put them to good use. It’s an attempt to make a difference where it’s needed. So many Magic events are inward looking, with players essentially giving back to themselves. Charity events are outward looking, good for everyone involved. Following the Hazardvitational, we contacted Land Grant again to set up what I hope will be a longer-term relationship, presenting the opportunity to do a similar charity event to the Cleveland Rocs partnership with BottleHouse. Magic players get a place to play and a chance to help out their community, and a local business gets a similar chance to give back, some promotion, and a captive audience of consumers for an afternoon. Land Grant was excited about the option, even offering to donate 20% of their day’s profits to the charity as well. Sounds pretty win-win-win! I’m really excited about this, hoping we can match the Rocs’ results. Right now we’re looking at an event on May 18, with more details to come. Look forward to it! So What Happened at the Hazardvitational? Jaco won the Hazardvitational playing four-color Paradoxical Outcome, beating David Lance on Survival. Other Top 8 decks were Ravager Shops, Paradoxical Oath, Humans, Grixis Xerox, and Griselbrand Oath. You can see these lists as well as plenty of photos from the event on The Mana Drain. Enjoy, they’re fun! Matt Hazard, our gracious host, played a mono-red aggro control deck with lots of Blood Moon effects and Null Rods. The idea is very much to hinder your opponent’s mana, empty your hand, and attack with aggressive creatures like Lupine Prototype and Bloodrage Brawler. Not one to shy away from interesting cards, he also included a maindeck Hellspark Elemental and a sideboard Pardic Miner, which gets talked about in the audio. I’ll let you look them up. Josh Chapple played his usual: BUG Control. It’s a typical looking list, one that you hope is metagamed properly for the event you’re playing. That’s difficult at a lot of Team Serious events where you might face Matt Hazard Mono-Red or a deck that includes a bunch of cards with “Predator” in the name so it can coordinate with the player’s donated prize. Anyway, when the right answers for your opponent’s strategy find their way to you in time, your game will go well. Otherwise, it’s a fun battle. I played Turn-One Tendrils (a.k.a. SX or Meandeck Tendrils), a deck that’s more of a thought experiment than an actual competitive deck. There has been much written about the archetype, but it doesn’t show up because it’s weak against so many kinds of disruption and is tricky to play well, let alone perfectly. I had fun and had a lot of time to eat and talk to people and hang out between rounds. I died once to Spoils of the Vault. Questions for Discussion What’s the best prize you’ve ever won playing Magic: The Gathering? Would you rather have a known prize or a mystery box? Would you have guessed 30 people would each eat an average of half a pizza? “Dressed Hamm’s” or “Spiced Hamm’s”? Have you tried one? They’re better than you thought, right? Did you have to look up Pardic Miner? Concluding Remarks Thanks for listening! We definitely believe that friendship and fun are the primary reasons to play Vintage, so we’re glad to make friends with our fans. If you want any advice about hosting a tournament in your own private space, invitational or otherwise, please feel free to reach out. We’ll look forward to any questions or comments here or The Mana Drain or on Twitter. You can also email us at seriousvintagepodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode we connect (remotely) with Dan Eaton who covers the beer and food industries for Columbus Business First. Dan shares his thoughts on the impact of the corona virus on the business of beer in Ohio, while Mark gives a first hand account of its impact on Land Grant Brewing.  We also touch on topics that include acceptable work attire and flattening the weekly beer consumption curve in these unprecedented times. Those who listen to the end will be treated with timely beer recommendations should the end times be upon us.

This week, Bone is solo as Beam is already pregaming at Land Grant Brewing for the boys' big watch party on Sunday, February 2nd, 2020. This week Bone talked about a lot of things, but most of them centered around the rebrand of the Crew and the departure of Dwight Burgess.

Walt and Mark from Land-Grant Brewing Company stop by (with beer!) to talk about beer, design, moose lodges, non-beer drink preferences, music and of course their podcast, called Beers with the Brewers, available on all major podcast networks, and right here on their website... https://www.landgrantbrewing.com/lgu/

Brewery cats and the Grateful Dead highlight this week’s News & Brews. After a run of (mostly) malty fall beers, the switch was made this week to a classic golden ale — Seventh Son’s Assistant Manger, named for the brewery’s beloved brewery cat. Did the can art play a role in the beer’s selection? Of course it did. In addition to praising the aforementioned can art of Seventh Son and other local brewers, this week’s talk dives a little bit into wet hopped beers and rotating hop IPAs, spurred by Columbus Brewing Co.’s recent decision to dump a batch of a popular seasonal IPA that didn’t meet its standards. Columbus Business First is launching a Grateful Dead Networking meet-up, the first of which will be Tuesday Oct. 29 at Columbus Brewing. News-wise Land-Grant Brewing has an interesting collaboration beer, Saucy Brew Works provided and update on its Harrison West brewpub and one of Ohio’s largest wineries has a new Columbus-based owner whose name might ring a bell. In News & Brews great tradition of plugging podcasts that aren’t our own, Office Ladies gets a shout-out this week before the discussions turns toward Millennial love for The Office television show, but otherwise tangents mostly stick to the topic of local alcohol news.

Hot days and high temps demand a light, refreshing beer. Pouring this week at the News & Brews bar is Bubbles — a Rosé wine inspired cider/beer thingamajig from Cincinnati’s Rhinegeist Brewery. This intriguing creation is a big seller for Rhinegeist, accounting for an estimated 20 percent of sales, or about 12,000 barrels a year, which alone is larger than most craft breweries. It’s not only an interesting beer on its own merits, but also might prove to be an alternative to the monster in your life who puts ice cubes in their red wine. Does that include one of the News & Brews panelists? Unfortunately, yes. Beyond our wistful assessments of wine-inspired beers, there’s local alcohol news as Franklinton’s Land-Grant Brewing is expanding again, though the newest addition will give guests more to do with their hands than simply holding a beer. Also, for those looking to stock up on spirits either for the July 4 holiday or other summer festivities, the Ohio Department of Liquor Control is putting even deeper discounts on already discounted choices at its Last Call stores. Beyond those actionable bits of looking imbibing intelligence, there’s discussion of drinking craft beers (and vodka) in Russia as well as insights into the Bachelorette and (of course) The Grateful Dead.

Columbus Business First dipped into its archive for this 2018 interview with Adam Benner, co-owner of Land-Grant Brewing. Benner talks about Land-Grant's origins — did you know its original name and where it initially was going to open? What inspired its owners? Land-Grant has been a bit of a "good luck charm" for local sports teams, but how did it get into the area stadiums? Benner also opens up about the challenges craft brewers face from can shortages to an overcrowded marketplace.
