It was a quieter week of content, but we still put together a great show for you. The one and only DIPA Josh joined us this week as we discussed all manner of things such as finding something to bet on other than picking a team to win the Super Bowl, no one cares if Diagio sells Guiness, not making it through Dry January, and FAFO-ing.  **The music used in the NFL Deathmatch Challenge is by DonRock the Imposter on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqKSIaE_QE8 @donrocktheimposter912 Superb Owl Week : Picking number of total sacks in the game without going over cause none of us wanted to pick the Chefs Gnome's Pick : 0 Marco's Pick : 5 Julia's Pick : 3 ----- This episode covers the following shows : Barstool Perspective - 1/31/2025 Craft Parenting Podcast - Ep 238 - Is Craft Beer Culture Dying In America?

P&C drink and review Troeg's Hop Horizon IPA, then discuss the need for strong men. One side of the culture war wants to tell boys they're toxic, potential rapists, and the best they can do is sit quietly and not get in the girls' way, because the future is female. And if you won't sit quietly, we'll give you drugs to make sure you do. On the other side of the culture war, Sen. Josh Hawley recently wrote a book to encourage boys to grow in the manly virtues. From a Roman perspective, these are the classical virtues. 1. Virtus (Manliness) encompasses bravery, courage, and strength. A Roman man was expected to display valor on the battlefield and face adversity with resilience. 2. Pietas (Piety) referred to a sense of duty, devotion, and loyalty. A Roman man was expected to fulfill his obligations to the gods, his family, and the state. 3. Fides (Good Faith) was the virtue of trustworthiness, reliability, and honesty. A Roman man was expected to keep his promises, be true to his word, and honor his commitments. 4. Gravitas (Dignity) denoted a sense of seriousness, self-control, and responsibility. A Roman man was expected to conduct himself with dignity, maintain composure in challenging situations, and exercise self-discipline. 5. Industria (Industriousness) represented diligence, hard work, and perseverance. A Roman man was expected to be productive, industrious, and committed to achieving his goals. 6. Clementia (Mercy) referred to the virtue of mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. A Roman man was encouraged to show leniency and kindness, particularly in positions of power and authority. 7. Honestas (Respectability) encompassed moral integrity, honor, and a respectable reputation. A Roman man was expected to lead a virtuous life, maintain his family's honor, and contribute positively to society. The cardinal virtues, according to Roman Catholicism are prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. What's wrong with these things? The boys also review a horrible article by Silva Neves from Psychology Today.

The boys drink and review Troeg's Nugget Nectar, then discuss how men are stealing all the top places in women's rankings. While thinking about transgender ideology, the boys look at ... * Contradictions in transgender ideology * What "transgender" means * Can people be "trapped in the wrong body"? * Examples of how men are stealing women's thunder * Where have all the feminists gone? The gender fluidity / trans perspective is internally inconsistent, illogical, unscientific, and mind-bogglingly stupid. Pigweed and Crowhill try their best to inject some sense and logic into the debate.

To kick off Valentine's month, we're doing “Whatever You Like” (or whatever we like, in that case). This is nowhere near our favorite song, but we sure had a good time! Listen in as we develop the germ of a parody idea, talk about too much chicken, go off about fast food restaurants, government cheese, Blockbuster Video WOW what a difference, ballin' brownies on a budget, and more! This week, we had whatever we liked. Lauren has Mad Elf from Troeg's Independent Brewing. John has Cold Brew Coffee Pumpking Nitro from Southern Tier Brewing Company. Cheers! Beer'd Al is a ballin' on a budget member of the OddPods Media Network. Our promo this week is for the Infectious Groove Podcast!

WE ARE BACK with a new series and new episode! This holiday season, we're focused on inappropriate holiday movies paired with our favorite Christmas Ales. To start things off, we're drinking Troeg's Mad Elf while watching "Office Christmas Party" and talking far too much about Fortune Feimster, Denzel Washington and Jillian Bell (one of which is not in this movie).

It's cold, its the dead of winter. So how do we warm up? Every January, Troeg's Independent Brewing releases an Imperial Amber Ale that'll do just that: warm you up… and give you a chance to celebrate one of the many good things in life. Take a listen as Jefferson the Craft Beer Guy meets up with Troeg's Co-founders Chris and John Trogner, to talk about this very special beer...

Episode 129 : And So It Begins… We're back on our shit for 2021. Nick, Alex, and Jake are back this week and we start off with talking about blood. After the opening, we announce an exciting partnership with Fueled By Hops! (Our affiliation code : theweeklyrecap is good for 20% off at www.shop.fueledbyhops.com) This announcement jumps us off into sponsorship and merch talks on the podcast. Next up is the annual release of Troeg's Nugget Nectar and we spend some time on memes. Alex and Nick reminisce about the First Squeeze experience and how great the atmosphere is at those events. We talk about Troeg's new offering Double Nugget Nectar (which is a brewery only release). Nick then pivots to talking about Grist House and their new releases including a black IPA and a milk stout. After Alex tries to talk about LaCroix we talk about Dry January and the next beer Jake and Alex are gonna have when they're back on the wagon. As we wind down, Nick shouts out Old Thunder's False Kingdom as his IPA of 2021. Jake and Alex celebrate sobriety and they want to bring back the Twin Episode this year.

Last year, right around this time, I visited Troeg's Independent Brewing in Hershey and met with Co-Founders, John and Chris Trogner and in a wide ranging conversation, talked about their careers, the brewery's history, their beers and their team. Now that we are well into the holiday season, I thought it would be the right time to revisit that meeting and put the spotlight on Mad Elf Ale, their amazing Christmas Ale, and talk about their process for developing recipes. Cheers! -Jefferson

What's that causing havoc in the Prose and Bros studio? It's Troeg's "Mad Elf" everyone's favorite (maybe) high octane holiday brew! The bros discuss the history of this delicious treat including a little bit of controversy surrounding the mischievous ale. Paired with "Mad Elf" is John. K. Bangs "The Little Elf" but don't let the size of this poem fool you, it packs a punch! Join us as we once again delve into the history of this poet and learn a little bit about humor in the late 1800's which, yes, did exist.

Tis the season for Netflix holiday movies!! Today we pair Troeg's Mad Elf with Netflix's new Christmas movie Jingle Jangle. But first Harley gives us a brand new podcast she is loving while Mike ranks all of David Fincher's film. Then they dive into this grand movie musical including what worked and what didn't but overall the duo enjoyed this magical invention! #GirlsWhoCode are we right??!!

In this month's Patreon Picks episode, listeners selected a timeless classic, Cool Hand Luke (1967) for the film. They also select new beers from Troeg's Brewing and one from Founders Brewing. Tony & Eddie are no strangers for this film, having both watched it before - but does it stand up to the test of time? How does it fair under the 2020 lens? There's a lot of social commentary to unpack here. There's a lot of weight to this film. Even when you consider Paul Newman's big beautiful smile.

In this episode we taste a Troegs Haze Charmer and a Tree Search from Madtree Brewery. Both very tasty! The growler shop also gave us a fun mad lib from Troegs Brewery to try will be tasted our tasty brews. Enjoy!

Comedian Derek Minto jumps right into guest hosting in Ed’s place as Day opens a care package from Troeg’s and Derek shares his envious thoughts. Fittingly the two comics welcome a third, nationally-touring Felicia Gillespie who opens up about her start in comedy at age 8! Listeners will enjoy the vibe created when three stand-up acts sip on barrel-aged beer and reflect on their approaches to the art of comedy. Even more interesting is when Felicia discusses being a “road comic” and what comes along with that choice, especially as a woman. The conversation never slows and the jokes continue to flow as Derek seamlessly co-hosts, and the emphasis stays true to the comedy half of the Drinking Partners show. Looking for a hint on how to be a good stand up comic? Derek tells listeners that you have to know how to perform, have a unique delivery, and be able to be concise. Felicia shares her own greatest advice: Not to take advice. A fantastic hour of entertainment to keep you sane during this trying times.

Let’s run the numbers: 28 Black brewers, 75 vendors, 45 collaborations with local brewers, 4 deejays, 6 music acts, 15 visual artists, 20 food stations, and one very special Drinking Partners podcast. Welcome to Fresh Fest 2019, which happens this Saturday, August 10th at Nova Place in Pittsburgh. Mike Potter, Fresh Fest cofounder, joins Ed and Day to talk all things Fresh Fest, which he describes as, “a festival which we just happen to bring beer to.” What makes Fresh Fest unique and history-making is its collection of stories and its offerings: 70+ beers that have been specifically brewed for Fresh Fest and never tasted before. Even better is what the festival represents: a brand new approach to beer by making it accessible to a new audience. This latest interview shines a light on how the festival began, where it might grow, and what makes it so special. What is new for 2019 is the festival’s expanded schedule, which now includes a Friday night beer exchange and symposium (hosted by Ale Sharpton) at Ace Hotel and a Sunday brunch with the brewers at Savoy Restaurant in the Strip. Some exciting beers that will be featured are: a collaboration beer from Warcloud Brewing and Eleventh Hour, a triple threat brew from the team of Troeg’s Brewing, Apis Mead and Winery, and the Drinking Partners, and more than forty other collaborations, from fruity sours (Syla Pgh and Aurochs Brewing) to a juicy New England IPA (Nappy Roots and Dancing Gnome) to a blueberry pancake inspired stout (Hardo and Union Brothers Brewing). And SO MANY more. Like music? How about Starship Mantis, BBGuns, Elias Khouri, Flow Band, MidKnight Rose, and Nappy Roots? Want to dance? Deejays Arie Cole, DJ Femi, DJ Bamboo, and DJ Nate Da Barber will be on deck. Included with the VIP ticket is access to the next Drinking Partners live podcast with Brooklyn Brewery’s Garrett Oliver and complimentary food provided by the award-winning Chef Kwame Onwuachi. Fresh Fest is THE place to be August 10th, 2019. For more info and tickets, visit: www.freshfestbeerfest.com.

Tonight the boys drank Tito’s, Troeg’s Nugget Nectars, and Bell’s Lake lagers, and its Red wine Fridays. Hoover joined to produce and they talked about Bob Kraft and his tugs, Incels, sex robots, Ja Rule, and Zombie deer. So yea please, DO ATTEND.

As the Drinking Partners enjoy a holiday sampling from Troeg’s, they welcome DJ Nate Da Barber, whose tag sums up his professional passions as an owner of two barbershops and a popular Pittsburgh DJ. An insightful conversation revolves around the importance of barbershops in the Black community, succinctly explained by Ed, “The barber knows it all.” Having been active in Pittsburgh’s hip hop scene for the last 20 years, DJ Nate offers up a reflective view. Midway through, the group talks about Fresh Fest, the country’s first Black beer festival, hosted by the Drinking Partners and featuring Nate Da Barber in the VIP area, an event that significantly changed the vibe around beer culture. In the episode’s concluding minutes, Nate discusses his career in entertainment and the DJ industry in general. A fun listen that gleams with excitement for things past and things future. To learn more about Nate Da Barber, visit his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/djnatedabarber1/

The Drinking Partners open their latest podcast with a care package from Troeg’s Brewing Company, which included Nimble Giant, a Double IPA. With beers in hands, they welcome Sam Leonard from Pittsburgh Local News and Shannon Harris, a Texas-based beer blogger and award-winning home brewer. The early conversation focuses on Sam’s take on the happenings in and around Pittsburgh and the role of media and free speech. Shannon – known as The Brew Brotha – is highlighted midway through as he offers his thoughts on the beer scene in Texas and Black beer culture across the country. He explains in the latter minutes how he collaborates with breweries across the country, including Dancing Gnome, where he created an “aggressively hopped” styling for Fresh Fest 2018. Listen until the end as the group loosens up and jumps between the beers that Mr. Harris has brought with him and hilarious stories, an unsurprising conclusion for loyal listeners. Hear Sam on the Epicast network with his podcast Pittsburgh Local News, and find Shannon Harris at www.thebrewbrotha.com.

In Episode 4 we watch one of the most famous matches of all time to see if it holds up!  We pair that with another Troegs' Brewing beer called "Nimble Giant!"  Also hear about Troy's Bachelor party weekend, Nick's two match night and Mark's weekend alone with some Treehouse beer!  Find out whats on TAP and go in depth on the bigget wrestling match of the 80's and hear more about a very seasonal DOUBLE IPA from Troeg's.  Join in on a NEW drinking game as well!  All this and more on episode 4 of "Off The Hop Rope!"  

In Episode 3 we want to make sure you are ready for some WCW!  We start the show talking a little bit about who we are as WRESTLERS and then get into the MAIN EVENT!  We pair Troeg's "First Cut" with Buff Bagwell vs. David Flair in a DNA first blood match from Halloween Havoc 2000.

What’s better than getting beer shipped to you from Troeg’s while sipping on beer from Mindful? Not much, the Drinking Partners decide in their latest podcast release. Happy and well-lubricated, Ed and Day welcome noted Pittsburgh blogger, and, according to Day, the daredevil of journalism, Virginia Montanez. Ms. Montanez shares a unique perspective as she relates her history of being “outed” as a once-anonymous political commentator, which caused her to lose her job with a non-profit, which leads into a conversation about the consequences of free speech. Several, Drinking Partners-esque detours offer laughs as the trio muses about deer as vermin, privacy concerns, and the political happenings in and around Pittsburgh, all within a few breaths. After years of blogging as Pittsburgh’s preeminent and wittiest voice, Ms. Montanez now shares her thoughts on Twitter. To follow her and her latest thoughts, find her @janepitt.

Welcome to the York Story Slam podcast, where we feature select stories from our monthly open mic storytelling events in York, Pennsylvania.  On October 18, 2016, 10 storytellers shared their stories with our audience at Holy Hound Taproom in downtown York. Our theme for the evening was Unmasked. We heard stories about both literal and figurative masks people wear. Michelle Macera won with the story about how she exacted revenge on her on-again, off-again high school boyfriend.  Next up is Matt McDunnell. Matt, a regular at York Story Slam, recalled the time he saw a little girl - and an older one - get scarred for life. Our final story on this month’s podcast comes from Billy Krouse, who shared a story about a night on the job as a limo driver. Our next event is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15th, and it’s our Grand Slam. All the winners from this year’s open mic story slam events will return to compete for the title of Best Storyteller in York. We’re excited to host this culminating event in the beautiful Capitol Theatre. Our podcast is produced with support from The Beer Ace.  This episode comes to you with support from this month’s featured brewery partner, Troeg’s Brewing Company.

In this episode, we falsely claim that Troeg’s Brewing was acquired by one of the brewing world’s big guns, but this is not true. Not at all  Here’s the story.  This makes me incredibly happy, even though I wasn’t initially super stoked by the label-art redesigns.  They are beautiful, though. (If you’re ever in/near Hershey, it’s absolutely worth your time to stop at the brewery, eat at the exceptional and amazing “snack bar,” which is an understatement of epic proportions, and take the tour.)  Sometimes I’m a crotchety old traditionalist, though…particularly when it comes to big things that I used to know and love when they were considerably smaller.  So, Troeg’s.  We had Nugget Nectar tonight (7.5 ABV, 93ish IBU).  We did this post Lagunitas Hop Stoopid and Imperial Pils, which is becoming a bit of a tradition for us.  Get buzzed on the Lagunitas, hit record, and bring that buzz to a drunk with a new brew. So, what is the topic today? We talk about absurd Twitter battles (…I know, the word “absurd” is entirely unnecessary and is implied by the following two words…) and misinformed bro-beefs. First, B.o.B. versus Neil deGrasse Tyson regarding the following question: Is the world flat? Really.  It wasn’t a joke.  I mean, it’s a fucking joke…but it wasn’t to B.o.B. (His Twitter profile leads me to believe that he also believes the moon landing was faked.  Perhaps by Stanley Kubrick.  Yikes.) This is a real thing that just happened.  A fairly popular hip hop and pop music artist, that being B.o.B., claims that there is NOT irrefutable evidence that the earth is round; that, in fact, there is much conspiracy-theorist-nut-job-driven data pointing in the direction of human beliefs circa 300 BC.  An actual scientist and also popular culture icon, that being deGrasse Tyson, argued with him.  And the fall out includes several songs.  Here’s B.o.B.’s.  Here’sTyson’s.  I don’t know, maybe we should prepare for the Armageddon. Next, we try to interpret the Wiz Khalifa/Kanye West Twitter battle.  Think about that.  A friggin’ Twitter battle.  Not a physical fight.  Not a drive-by shooting.  Not even a verbal confrontation.  Just two dudes, presumably of average intelligence, arguing with each other over a social media platform.  About…really, it’s entirely unclear; or at least not worth any additional cognitive energy to explain here.  Is this what we’ve become?  When hip-hop hatred needs to be modified and telegraphed to fit the character constraints of an application?  I guess. And through this entire thing, Jen ends up becoming a fan of B.o.B.’s flow and the producers with whom he works. Here we go…presenting to you, “#HipHopisDead.” Oh, the music!  At the beginning, “Blues Music” by G Love and Special Sauce.  At the end, “Hip Hop is Dead,” by Nas.  And just below, the iconic image of the iconic Notorious B.I.G.       B-I-G…P-O…P…P-A
