Host Ben Rice travels to Sacramento, CA, to his favorite midtown bar, The Golden Bear, to recap 2023 over a bucket of Miller High Life (among other things) with friends and comedians Stephen Furey (@scubastevefurey), Emma Haney (@ehaneycomedy), and Alfonso Portela (@fonsitocaballito). We'll discuss the ups and downs of 2023, what we're looking forward to in 2024, and what is going on with Alfonso's head. Plus! Psoriasis, being 86'd, the closing of a hallowed comedy venue, the TikTokification of stand-up, and the worst pipelines in Sacramento. We're looking at a pretty solid 2024, y'all, so get on board. All this and so, so much more, on episode 179 of Barley & Me.

Host Ben Rice invites his favorite comedy friends (and lover oh my) Stephen Furey (@scubastevefurey), Emma Haney (@ehaneycomedy), and Becky Lynn (@ohthatsbecky) into his (their) home for his/their yearly winter recap. This year, we're tackling saisons for our year-end Saison's Greetings episode! We go from THE definitive saison, to clones of that saison, to slight variations to wild experimentations, while recapping our years, bickering like old friends, praising the Sacramento comedy scene as being unlike any other in the world (and why that seemingly self-important stance is provably true), and getting, well, let's face it, progressively drunker, as this episode carries on. All told, we drink, discuss, and review ten, count em, 10, different saisons from around the world (but mostly the California area, with a HEAVY emphasis on Peter Hoey/Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse creations). Barbers! Brussel sprouts! Ballpark Hot Dogs! Ben's Condiment Bindle! Biscuits and Gravy! Bleu Cheese! Ben's Infamous Blackout! Being banned from comedy clubs (and Bars!)!(unrelated to previously-mentioned blackouts) Bullying! Beer! Beer donations! Things that don't start with B! (In case things like ASMR, alarm clock harmonies, apricots, ah crap that's all A's, ok, take 2 - in case things like parking tickets, favorite cereals, secondary fermentations, the fickle fortune of fame, disrespectful comics and booking requests (ah crap, booking starts with B), and global domination tickle your fancy)Look, there's a lot to unpack here and maybe we resolve some stuff and maybe we don't. Do some of us have multiple 3rd favorite saisons? Probably. Do we appreciate the art and science of it all? Mostly. Do we do this for us? No! We do it for you. So give it a spin and enjoy episode 168 of Barley & Me.Spoiler Alert: The Beer Dies at the EndFollow Barley & Me across social media @barleyandmepod and be on the lookout for the pending revamping of barleyandmepod.comYou can find Emma Haney on IG @ehaneycomedy or on Twitter @emmaiscool69Follow Becky Lynn across social media (and Venmo) @ohthatsbeckyCheck out Stephen Furey on IG @scubastevefureyAnd be sure to learn more about the Black Is Beautiful Initiative, as featured in Episode 129 with Marcus Baskerville of Weathered Souls Brewing, at www.blackisbeautiful.beerGet your merch or make donations at www.customink.com/fundraising/black-is-beautiful-initiative Ben is also posting #Chugs4Charity videos infrequently on Instagram (@barleyandmepod), to help raise funds for those affected by this shutdown.

On this episode of Barley & Me, host Ben Rice stops in to Sacramento homebrew store Brew Ferment Distill (BFD) with an arm-load of 40s. It's malt liquor madness, as he, owner Tim, and comedians Emma Haney, Stephen Furey, and Dorian Foster do more than keep it 100, they keep it 800. Olde English 800, that is. While choking down some Steel Reserve, Haney ruminates her love of Budweiser. Furey enjoys a Mickey's but hates everyone else's choices, culminating in an unfavorable comparison to a national tragedy. Foster bemoans his podcast history and has his Foster's stolen by Tim. That and an incredible amount more, on this episode of Barley & Me! It's gonna get weird. Intro music is "JamRoc" by Breez.
