Today's daily comedy episode proves two things: kids are expensive, and karaoke should absolutely require a permit.We kick things off with an email that had the entire studio arguing like a courtroom drama sponsored by Fisher-Price. A military family's kid chucks a Lego at a friend's 75-inch QLED TV (because of course it was a 75-inch QLED), leaving a tiny but permanent “oops” mark. They do the right thing and offer to replace it — $1,200 later — only to find out the “damaged” TV is getting relocated to the daughter's room. Wait… what? Is that justice? Is that capitalism? Is that just the cost of letting children exist in your home? Rizz, Moon, and King Scott debate responsibility, friendship, and whether the real solution is simply moving to a new town and changing your identity.Then we dive into the wildest dating trend we've heard in a while: “Alpine Divorce.” It sounds like a seasonal IPA. It is not. It's apparently when someone strands their partner in the wilderness as punishment. Romantic! Nothing says “I love you” like abandoning someone mid-hike because they forgot a water bottle. We unpack the psychology behind it and question how this is even a thing. Ghosting? Bad. Ghost-lighting? Worse. Alpine Divorce? Congratulations, you're on a watch list.And then — because we care about the people — we establish the official list of karaoke songs that should be considered arrestable offenses. Whitney Houston? Jail. Bohemian Rhapsody? Straight to court. “My Heart Will Go On”? Emotional felony. The crew breaks down the crimes, the charges, and the sentencing guidelines for murdering everyone's ears at your local bar. It's the kind of public service announcement only a true daily comedy show would dare to provide.Between parenting disasters, dating red flags, and musical war crimes, this episode has everything you expect from your favorite St. Louis daily comedy chaos factory.You've been warned.

Tanner Rainville isn't really a talker, he's a pro skier who lets his skiing do the talking. And while his skiing started with contests, he graduated to the big screen and for 23 years he's put out a video segments with the major players in the ski film business. Tanner Rainville is all about passion and skiing, he doesn't self promote and getting him to want to do this podcast wasn't easy.

Beer collaborations are a particularly effective way for brewers to share and learn, but what if you could take that experience and share it with a wider audience? That's the idea behind this episode, recorded shortly after the brew day wrapped on a forthcoming collab brewed by Kelly McKnight at the pilot brewery of New Belgium in Fort Collins, Colorado, along with Ashleigh Carter of Denver's Bierstadt Lagerhaus and Natalie Rose Baldwin of Wayfinder in Portland, Oregon. Throughout, these three accomplished brewers discuss: finding common ground in a recipe and ingredients diving into each others' brew sheets exploring modern techniques such as cool pooling (even with German hops) understanding what qualities of subtler European hop varieties come through from the rub into the finished beer And more.

Wrapping up a week of non Ballast Point beers with Jeff and David from Ballast Point as they've been shocasing thier "friends" beers leading up to The Art of Beer happening on March 14th. We end with a beer that has traversed space and time to arrive in the glass we're drinking out of. Societe Brewing's The Visitor is a bright IPA that still has hits of pine with a clean and balanced finish.
For White Cane week in February, this year we have a discussion with Elizabeth Lalonde about the recent completion of her Masters Thesis: --An Interpretive Analysis of the Effectiveness of Non-traditional or ‘Structured Discovery' Blindness Rehabilitation in Canada from the Perspective of Blind Service Recipients and teachers This week on Outlook we're speaking with Elizabeth about building confidence as a blind traveler and the difference between route training and the “structured discovery method” we've often spoke about on this show and of which Lalonde teaches at The Pacific Training Centre for the Blind, which she founded and runs on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. She tells us: Structure discovery, it can include routes. Sometimes that's the best way to get somewhere is you wanna learn the route. So it doesn't mean that it excludes more traditional forms of rehabilitation. It just means that it opens the door for other ways of perceiving your environment, learning to perceive your environment in a more holistic way." Elizabeth shares her lived experience of blindness growing up and connecting with an opportunity to “learn blindness skills” training which led her to want to bring the same sort of rehab program to others closer to home. She tells us about the non visual skills they offer at the PTCB and the “Blind People In Charge” program she launched with the help of a grant from the provincial B.C. government. Elizabeth recognises with non visual learning: “When you have sight, you just tend to use it, (you can't help it) so it can distract you from using your other senses to get around and to do things.” We talk about the hesitancy, whether new to blindness or not, for many of us to be afraid of wearing things like sleep shades to remove the distraction of any level of seeing when we're learning how to explore our environment, with all our senses and perceptions, during blindness rehab. We reflect on the types of messages on blindness and early O and M instruction we were given and training we were taught, we highlight the common sense and lived experience in the expression “the blind leading the blind” as sister/co-host Kerry relates that back to her most recent memory of the community and confidence-building that can come from traveling in a group of blind people, and we examine ways of adapting “structure discovery” for the individual and their specific intersectionalities and unique learning styles, Regular Outlook co-host Barry says: “We're getting taught static navigation for a dynamic world,” when it comes to how blind people receive orientation and mobility instruction. This conversational, truly from an international perspective along with our focus on Canada (with the thesis we're featuring for its historical significance to blindness rehabilitation anywhere) episode provides a fairly comprehensive bunch of topics that return, always, to the subject of Elizabeth Lalonde's thesis and our lived experiences with it. We at Outlook want to thank Elizabeth Lalonde for her hard work on presenting us all with a wider window on the landscape of blindness skills training here in Canada, on some more particulars around this thesis, and by doing this on completion of a Master's degree in Community Development from the University of Victoria. Your work on this topic will be an important study and resource of rehabilitation for the blind in Canada and beyond. Through multiple modalities: including literature study and interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA, a qualitative methodology) ) with interviews she conducted with both students and teachers of the “structure discovery model”, Elizabeth paints a clearer picture of the landscape of Canada's attitudes and offerings of blindness skills training.

The boys drink and review Dogfish Head's Sixty-One, which is an IPA brewed with Pinot Noir grapes, then discuss the idea that AI will make us all wealthy while Pigweed's cat prances around the studio. Elon Musk recently said that AI + robotics will eliminate scarcity to the point that there's no real point in saving for retirement. We'll have "universal high income." It's like the Star Trek vision of the future where all your needs are provided for. Does that make any sense? Can an economy function like that? Will "AI abundance" arrive simultaneously for every human need? Who will pay the taxes? What does "lack of scarcity" really mean? There can be an abundance of food, or healthcare. AI isn't going to make more beachfront. How do we get from here to there? What happens to property rights? Will the people who own the AI share their wealth with everybody else? Why? Who will make them do it? When people start losing jobs (by the millions), how will they live? The idea that we'll tax AI to pay the people who are laid off doesn't make sense. If you tax the AI to pay the displaced workers, what have you gained? The internal contradictions in the optimistic view of an AI-driven future are mind-boggling. The boys try to parse through it all.

That's the rhythm of it. The delivery truck's just pulled away, the sun's already dipping behind the silos, and someone's realised the tap list never got updated. Again. It's the feeling of sprinting toward something that's already halfway gone — but laughing anyway because there's a cold one in your hand and that counts for something. Foam clinging to the glass, condensation sliding down like a slow apology. You missed the moment, sure. But you didn't miss the pour.It's the soundtrack of small-town Fridays and half-finished plans. A day late and a dollar short… beers beers beers. The mates who show up after the raffle's been drawn. The keg that kicks just as the best story starts. The bar light flickering like it's in on the joke. And somehow, despite the timing, despite the short change, there's abundance in repetition. Not perfection — repetition. Another round. Another crack of a can. Another chorus of “cheers” rolling across the room like it's always been right on time. ★ Support this podcast ★
With the plethora of tropical IPAs out in the market today I was surpised to see Pizza Port throw their hat in the ring with Coastin' but in true Pizza Port form they make this IPA true to style and focus on the hoppiness of their beer with a hint of tropical-ness.
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.

The Fort Point HenHouse merger is the subject today with Justin Catalana of Fort Point Brewing and Colin MacDonald of HenHouse Brewing, on Brew Ha Ha with Herlinda Heras. Justin is calling in on the phone today while his friend and colleague Colin is in the studio at Wine C0untry Radio with Herlinda Heras. Fort Point Beer Co. has been featured on Brew Ha Ha before, the last time was this episode. Colin has been on the show before, most recently this episode in 2024 about the Freshtival that year. Recently HenHouse and Fort Point breweries joined forces. Although they still produce beers under the two brands, Colin describes them as having complimentary strengths. HenHouse is rooted in the North Bay and Fort Point has grown to be San Francisco's biggest craft beer. The first beer tasted today is an alcohol-free KSA from Fort Point. SF Beer Week is happening all over the Bay Area. Fort Point makes KSA which is a non-alcoholic Kölsch style beer. They also make other NA beers. Herlinda will be with Fort Point at the Dim Sum Brunch at the Hong Kong Lounge on Saturday. KSA is the beer they are most known for. Kolsch style beer comes from Cologne, Germany. They will be serving this beer tonight in the same style as a brew pub in Cologne, in the same kind of glasses. The event on Saturday is a huge Dim Sum service with Fort Point beers. This is one of Herlinda’s favorite SF Beer Week events. 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. Big Chicken Big Chicken is a double IPA that HenHouse makes once a year. It is also a statement about freshness. They want it to be the freshest beer it can be. You can buy beer that was packaged the same day. Fresh beer is so much better and makes enough of a difference that they founded the brewery on that principle. They used to do a promotion called the Freshtival, where they brought beers in that were no more than a week old. This Sunday Mar. 1 they have an event to promote the end of Big Chicken this year. Colin compares its flavor to a tropical fruit bowl. That then begs the question, what do you pair it with? Something big and intense, so fried chicken. The Big Chicken fest this year closes with the Fried Chicken competition at Palace of Barrels in Petaluma, from noon to 4 PM. They will have 5 food trucks there serving to the people and a distinguished panel of judges. There will also be a separate hot sauce award. There will be a distinguished guest list and plenty of great tasting fresh beer.

The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.Dogfish Head Craft BreweryCalling all hop heads!

Last week, we hosted a series of three webinars focused on different aspects of nonalcoholic brewing. In this episode of the podcast, we share an excerpt from the first session—focused on formulation—featuring Notch founder Chris Lohring, Halfway Crooks cofounder Shawn Cooper, and Abstrax Hops technical sales manager Craig Thomas. Through the course of the conversation, the trio discuss malt choices and process for NA beers, hop usage and different formats, dialing in bitterness, building body without sweetness, adjusting chloride content for fullness, and much more. If this piques your interest, the full webinars are available for viewing on our website: Formulation Fermentation Finishing G&D Chillers A quick word for the brewers out there staring down a broken chiller.

Rowan van Dijk of Moersleutel interviews Davide Callegari of Brew York.This Episode is Sponsored by:Berkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.SennosSennos is redefining fermentation intelligence.

Ben and I discuss why we're pausing the podcast a bit for his upcoming paternity leave and how he planned for his leave. We cover factoring paternity leave into revenue planning and hiring timelines, balancing team autonomy with structure during his leave, and initial nerves telling the team (despite everyone's full support). We also share that while Revenue on the Rocks is on a break, I'll be the cohost of another podcast - GTM News Desk with Mark Kilens. GTM News Desk also talks about buyer-first best practices and interviews marketers who are experts in them in their day-to-day.

Episode 23 of Matt Likes Beer features Dolly Hole, a hazy IPA collaboration between Tactical Brewing and Sideward Brewing, two of Matt's most frequently visited and personally meaningful Orlando-area breweries. Gifted to Matt by a fellow homebrew club member, the beer marks the first local brewery review of 2026, setting the stage for more hometown highlights throughout the year. Matt opens the episode by explaining his approach to note-taking, clarifying that while the show is unscripted, he keeps minimal reference notes to ensure accuracy—especially when discussing unfamiliar breweries or beer descriptions. That leads into a discussion of Tactical Brewing's intentionally minimal website descriptions, which prompted Matt to dig slightly deeper than usual, confirming that Dolly Hole was a recent rebrew rather than an older release. The beer itself is evaluated strictly under BJCP Category 21C: Hazy IPA, eliminating the ambiguity that often surrounds modern IPA substyles. Appearance-wise, Dolly Hole pours an opaque, butter-yellow color with a dense, mousse-like head, though Matt notes that the haze borders on murky, a technical fault under BJCP guidelines. Aromatically, the beer bursts with orange rind, citrus juice, and tropical fruit, supported by subtle esters and a faint herbal note. While expressive and inviting, the aroma lacks sufficient malt presence, costing it points in the judging process. Flavor-wise, the beer leans heavily into sweet, candy-like citrus, fruit punch, and lemon-lime soda character, with only a fleeting bitterness appearing late in the finish. The mouthfeel is one of the beer's strongest attributes—soft, silky, and medium-bodied, perfectly aligned with the hazy IPA style. However, excessive sweetness and minimal bitterness ultimately hold the beer back from higher marks. Matt scores Dolly Hole 32 out of 50, placing it in the “Very Good” range while emphasizing that the score reflects stylistic evaluation—not overall enjoyment. With no one-star reviews to read, the episode transitions into a detailed breakdown of the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP). Matt explains what the BJCP is, how judging works, and demystifies the certification process—from the notoriously difficult online entrance exam to the tasting exam and the various ranking levels. He also shares how becoming a BJCP judge has made him a better brewer and more thoughtful beer drinker. The episode closes with an invitation for listeners interested in judging or learning more to explore structured study resources, reinforcing one of the podcast's central themes: beer appreciation improves with education, curiosity, and community involvement.

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.

Generally speaking, there's some correlation between brewery scale and lager quality, and while there are plenty of exceptions to every rule, there's no denying that honing lager beers into the best versions of themselves requires repetition, time, and access to the best ingredients. But over the past few years, an ever-increasing number of very small craft brewers have found success in the major competitions not despite their size, but because of it. Ferndale, Michigan's Urbanrest firmly sits in that group, and their recent gold medal in the American Pilsner category at GABF is further proof that careful process and thoughtful beer design aren't dependent on scale. The beer itself, Kaiser, started as a Franconian-inspired kellerpils, but over the years has morphed into what they now call American pils. And funny enough, it contains only Vienna-style malt from small craft maltster and none of the pils malt that most would expect. But that's not the only way they've strayed from the classic narrative. In this episode, founder and brewer Zach Typinski discusses how they: ferment German lager with a dry 34/70 strain while fermenting American pils with a liquid 34/70 blend various base malts in both lager and IPA find the perfect amount of “rusticity” in American pils manage direct-fire kettle caramelization in lieu of decoction krausen lagered beer for carbonation since the brewery doesn't own a carb stone build texture and retain foam through the krausening process source and contract great hops despite their small size And more. G&D Chillers G&D's biggest edge isn't just the equipment—it's their deep understanding of brewery operations. From layout to production flow, they bring real-world expertise and build reliable systems that last, whether it's a single-stage 5H or a Vertical Air Chiller.

Wilbur concluded the Vietnamese were the most successful propagandists, effectively delegitimizing the South Vietnamese government as a US puppet, which made the 1968 Tet Offensive a psychological victory despite military defeat. He explained that communism relies on a messianic eschatology, promising a utopian future. Wilbur also addressed modern threats, noting that AI increases the vulnerability of open societies to personalized disinformation, compounding the challenge of combating propaganda due to people relying on fast-thinking heuristics.

With special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review an IPA from Cape May Brewing, then discuss the homogenization of culture, and how everything is starting to look the same. It's to the point where you're in a town three states away but you see the same stores, the same products on the shelves. Where's the local stuff? The boys discuss the history of this phenomenon, starting with the railroads and the Sears catalog, and moving on to the standardization of building materials and the expansion of chain stores. Some of this is good and logical, but sometimes you want to feel like you're in the South, or the West, or ... something different. A world of identical strip malls teaches us * Every place is replaceable* Nothing is sacred* Everything is for sale* History doesn't matter* Roots are optionalLocal culture anchors people psychologically and morally. It says * You are somewhere.* You come from something.* This place has a past and a future.How do we encourage progress and also encourage local culture?
Through his decades of work in the brewing industry, many spent in R&D and quality at Sierra Nevada, Tom Nielsen has played a critical role in getting craft beer a seat at the broader brewing table. While industry advocacy groups were once dominated by macro brewers pursuing their own narrow goals, Nielsen (and a cohort of craft contemporaries) helped change the bigger conversation, connect ingredient producers and processors with brewer end users, and usher in a new golden age for hops flavor and aroma as well as malting-barley quality. Now Nielsen is tackling a new challenge—scaling down while maintaining the same rigorous approach to quality—as he builds the brewing program for the forthcoming Emberside Brewery in his home state of New Jersey. In this episode, Nielsen discusses: the development of the innovation process at Sierra Nevada perfecting Pale Ale and how the brewery prioritized R&D factors that improve packaged beer stability evaluating quality in crystal malts testing malt quality and consistency with equipment such as the farinator moving beyond visual inspection for barley and hops improving malt flavor with new (and old) barley varieties advances in pelletizing that retain more hop punch blending science, sensory, and a bit of art to achieve great beer And more.

Kaya Turski grew up in Montreal and was the little rollerblader who was blowing everyone's collective minds. While Kaya went ASA Pro at 14, she was known for being a gnarly street skater. One of the best women to ever do it. But the bottom dropped out of skating, Kaya decided to give skiing a try and within a year, she was standing on her first X-Games podium in a sport that wasn't her original calling. From there, Kaya went on to dominate competition skiing. Think 8 X Games Golds, 5 AFP Titles and so many more victories to boot. But her story is not all sunshine, the years of abuse has taken its toll on her body and mind and Kaya and I talk about all the glory but we also talk about the daily pain that is her reality. It's an interesting talk with a legend and Ashley Battersby asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Fritz Family founder Cory Buenning brewed from the mid-90's through the mid 20-teens for Wyoming craft beer pioneers Snake River, but the itch to do his own thing was strong, and after returning to Colorado after a few years in Kentucky, he leased the old Bootstrap brewery in Niwot, installed a new brewhouse and cellar, and got to work making the beers he wanted to make—a variety of primarily lager beer, brewed thoughtfully and carefully. Years later, the brewery has developed a strong following among locals, but is also a favorite hangout for the area's brewers, and you'll often find brewers from neighboring breweries at the Fritz bar for a post-shift beer. It's brewers beer, after all—easy to drink, impeccably made, and unassuming. In this episode, Buenning shares his approach to making refined lagers at a taproom scale, and along the way discusses: how cold knockouts, cold fermentation, and no diacetyl rest make better lagers brewing with an jacketed oil-heated brewhouse rather than steam-heated acidifying the mash using sauergut building body in clear beer through proteins not carbohydrates carbonating naturally via capped tank using forced fermentation tests on all lagers managing gelatinization issues with European malt through modified step mashing ingredient approaches to Pilsner, helles, and Kölsch understanding yeast timing and performance to dial in harvesting and rep itching managing head pressure with 34/70 to reduce sulfur And more.
