    Trial by Wombat

    On the 15th episode of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, the Drink of the Week is Trial by Wombat. This is a hazy/New England IPA that comes in a four pack with 16 oz cans. Trial by Wombat is brewed by Thin Man Brewing. They are located in Buffalo, New York and it's something we haven't heard of before. Brewed with copious amounts of Australian galaxy hops and flaked oats, this 7% AVB beer isn't bad! It also has a prominent peach and pineapple flavor with hints of orange or maybe even grapefruit. You definitely get some fire can art with this one. Trial by Wombat has a close-up picture of a wombat showing those wacky teeth! How We Rated Trial By Wombat Rob's Rating: 5.9/10 Kev's Rating: 6.4/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website to find out all of our episode posts.

    Mr. Waterbury

    On the 14th episode of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, the Drink of the Week is Mr. Waterbury. We have an American IPA today, a common theme on the 4th season here. Mr. Waterbury is made by Big Tree Brewing Company out of Waterbury, VT. We chose this drink because of the name of the beer alone. The Waterbury reference hits close to home, literally. We live in the Waterbury, CT area but we didn't know that there was also a Waterbury in Vermont. Apparently Big Tree Brewing is a side project made by Mark Frier. He's a popular guy in the Waterbury, Vermont area who is known for restaurants. However, he makes beer too, by doing local partnerships. You can read more about him and the partnership here. Mr. Waterbury is a hazy citra hop IPA. It has a pale, goldish color with a white foam head. It has a strong aroma of tangerine and grapefruit. This beer has an ABV of 6% and it's fairly easy to drink. It also had a fair amount of bitterness along with the strong fruity flavors. We felt like it was hard to give this drink an identity. Overall, not bad but it's hard to see this one standing out compared to other IPA's on the show this season. How We Rated Mr. Waterbury Rob's Rating: 5.4/10 Kev's Rating: 6.2/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website to find out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode.Here's how the episode goes down with Mr. Waterbury. Show Notes Wedding season: Rob just went to his sister Laina's wedding and we talked about the greatest moments from a wedding celebration. Kev makes it a point to hit the dance floor literally the entire time. Pesky things that bother you: We about how minuscule things could really ruin your whole mood! Whether it's a popcorn kernel stuck in your mouth, a loose collar hitting your neck, or a piece of rubber dragging on the bottom of your shoe. Dave Chappelle: He recently had his own comedy special drop on Netflix. Netflix is taking lots of heat for backing him up with his controversial content. Looking for More Beer?

    Flexural Strength

    On the 13th episode of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, the Drink of the Week is Flexural Strength. We have a Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy drink on our hands, not something that we've ever heard of. Flexural Strength is made by Reverie Brewing Company out of Newtown, CT. Flexural Strength is a slightly hoppy ale, medium in color, and has an ABV of 7.7%. We found this beer tucked way in the back of our beer stash. While we never heard of this brewery before and any beers that they have, this was surprised us. It's complemented by peanut butter with a malty taste to it. Overall, we embraced this delightful surprise with a positive review because it's repeatably drinkable. Well done! How We Rated Flexural Strength Rob's Rating: 7.7/10 Kev's Rating: 8.7/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode. Here's how the episode goes down with Flexural Strength. Rating People We're baffled how humans rate each other whether it's based on looks or personality. We score humans on a scale of 1 through 10. Your whole existence! Rated with this bare bones scale. Would you want to know what other people are rating you if you could? Throwback Segment! We went back to old-school "Would You Rather?" questions. It's been a while since we did this. Would you rather not eat fruit again? Or would you rather not eat meat ever again? Would you rather give up Chinese food? Or would you rather give up Mexican food? Movie Plot Idea As the Flexural Strength was flowing through us, we got even more creative. How about this for a movie plot? The main character could manipulate the dreams of others. Similar to Freddy in a way. But it's much more subtle for a super power. You can influence the decisions of others and control their dreams! This spun off into thinking about the subconscious and how you can condition it. Looking for More Beer?

    Karate in the Water

    On the 12th episode of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast in Season 4, our Drink of the Week is Karate in the Water by Beer'd Brewing Company. It's a New England style IPA meant to be smooth like Karate in the Water with Australian Enigma hops. Each sip is like a burst of fruit (maybe pineapple?) and it has a 6.1% ABV. It's an orange shaded beer and pours with a bright white head. The can says it's brewed with flaked oats and flaked wheat. We both had a pretty similar tasting experience with this one. So much that we actually came up with identical scores. We agreed that the initial sip is definitely good. However, the mouthfeel and what comes afterwards kind of turns into more bitterness than we would like. Beer'd could be hit or miss on drinks. Although it is a pretty cool place to be out of Stonington, CT. This limited release was nice to try, but probably could pass if we saw it again compared to the competition of NEIPA's out there. Pretty cool can and beer title though for sure. How We Rated Karate in the Water Rob's Rating: 5.8/10 Kev's Rating: 5.8/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode. Here's how the episode goes down with Karate in the Water. Halloween or Thanksgiving Some holiday talk as we kick off October. Which of the two holidays do you like better? Is Halloween more exciting than ever now that we are adults with costume events? Mop Slander There's a bit in this episode honestly just blasting mops. Why are they still a thing? There are Swiffers out there that actually clean the floor. Mops just take in dirt and redistribute the dirty water on to the floor. The Dating Game We talked about greeting somebody on a first date. Right from the first glance. Do you play it safe with a hug? Or even pope-level conservative with a handshake? There's also the kiss on the cheek if you're feeling bold. A good portion of this episode is about dating experiences and how it's about having fun and reading signals from the other person.

    Double Hop Hop

    On the 11th episode of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast in Season 4, our Drink of the Week is Double Hop Hop by Aeronaut Brewing Co. If you couldn't guess from the title, this beer is a double IPA with an ABV of 8.4%. Double Hop Hop features hazy citrus and mosaic hops out of Somerville, MA. It's also described as having flavors of cold-extracted hops steeped in Aeronaut's whirlpool following vigorous fermentation. Double Hop Hop is a wonderfully balanced beer with tropical flavor. As expected with any double IPA, we tasted to see just how well the high ABV is masked behind the fruitiness. This is our first go with Aeronaut Brewing, and it certainly did not disappoint. Definitely an addicting taste to it that we both agreed that we can stock up on. An absolute killer beer to have! Here's how we rated it. How We Rated Double Hop Hop Rob's Rating: 8.8/10 Kev's Rating: 8.6/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode. Here's how the episode goes down with Double Hop Hop. What to Expect This Fall How could we describe what the first week of Fall means? Seeing people jog while you drive on a crisp morning. Seeing mist or even frost on your car with the heat on. Followed by putting the AC on by the middle of the day. Layering up your wardrobe, yet layering down as the day goes on. We both enjoy the amount of ways you can dress in Fall weather. Fairs, ciders, pumpkin stuff, and all the goods! Oh, back to the people jogging on the side of the road part. How can you not just silently root for those people hustling out there while you drive! Adjusting your Routine Mainly on Kev's side as he lands a new career. How do you set your routine throughout the day? When you have a career, how do you keep that work-life balance? Especially when it comes to staying active exercising and keeping up with your passions and hobbies (aka podcasting!). Solo Dates Have you ever tried a solo date before? Whether it would be taking yourself out to eat or a shopping trip. It could be anything, but it's a fun way just to unwind for a bit. It's also a bit of a challenge if you haven't done it before. One thing about solo dates though, is that you might be more observant of what's going on around you. Looking for more ?

    Baby Kittens

    On the 10th episode of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast in Season 4, the Drink of the Week is Baby Kittens by Fat Orange Cats Brew Co. It's a regular IPA with a pale yellow color. It has a tiny amount of bitterness at the first sip followed by hints of passionfruit and citrus. Baby Kittens is a really solid IPA with a mild undertone of spicy hops. This IPA also sports a lime green can loaded with drawings of kittens of all different shades of orange. It's a fantastic choice for an IPA that deserves at least an 8 out of 10. We pointed out that in Connecticut, you have lots of great IPAs that fall into this range. It's more on the simple side, but at the same time it's a pleasant beer to have. We would definitely buy it again. How We Rated Baby Kittens Rob's Rating: 8.2/10 Kev's Rating: 8.0/10 We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode. Here's how the episode goes down with Baby Kittens. American Culture Destinations You'll always hear us talk about what it means to live in Connecticut. A main advantage that we have is having the opportunity to travel to New York which is famous worldwide. We talked about what Miami is like (especially for breweries). The breweries down in Miami infuse Latino culture within their beer and events which is something uncommon for Connecticut. We also mentioned going down South because you get elements of culture that you can't get up here. In particular, BBQ food down in Texas or the famous partying in New Orleans. Think about how we know what staples of culture are in the U.S. without even visiting there. Wisconsin is known for cheese but we don't know anything else about it. Squirrels Just a quick thought, did you ever notice how squirrels freeze and observe at times? Squirrels actually communicate and sense danger with their tails. They also wag their tail to alert other squirrels of any danger nearby. What Had the Bigger Fall Off? Milk or Blockbuster Video? How did we get to this question? We don't know either. We talked about milk in households over time. Milk was in food pyramids for kids and recommended in regular diets. Now milk has taken a downturn because of HGH and overall just not being good for you. Blockbuster on the other hand, also got crushed by Netflix back in the day. Blockbuster was in nearly every town! People rented movies and games in-store and that's how it was. Netflix started with their mail in service complimented with a digital streaming service. On a side note, Netflix also made cable TV take a hit. A big problem with cable is obviously the price. But also we don't need hundreds of channels with random shows playing for us. Not to mention, cable shows us irrelevant ads that don't keep our attention. Looking for more? If you would like to support the show, take a look at our Patreon page.

    Warheads

    On episode 8 of the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, we are drinking Warheads by Artisanal Brew Works. This special variety pack is based off the popular sour candy with four flavors. The 4-pack features Black cherry, Watermelon, Sour Apple, and Blue Raspberry. Artisanal Brew Works is an artisanal style beer microbrewery out of Saratoga Springs, New York. On their website, Artisanal says that they, "make world-class beer in upstate New York with local ingredients". How We Rated Warheads It was definitely one of the most entertaining things we've done on the show for this episode. You know the usual drill. We usually each take a can and rate the beer. But we felt like we had to try all four flavors in the variety pack. So that's what we did and we rated each flavor. Overall you get a perfectly replicated Warhead smell to each beer. The flavor was very different representing each flavor. We both averaged around a 6 out of 10 for the variety pack, except for Sour Apple. That's where things got interesting. Kev immediately started gagging while Rob enjoyed it. Rob gave this one a 6.2 while Kev gave it a 0! That's right, the first 0 out of 10 ever given on the show! Show Notes This is more like a quick summary of what to expect. Complete chaos. We wanted to try live streaming the episode on Instagram (@boisandbartalk). We found a tripod for the phone and tried to go back in forth between interacting with the live stream and recording an official episode. Not to mention, we have an absolute scorcher of a day which meant sweat. Add a fast moving centipede, our headphones not working, and trying to squeeze four beers into a 30 minute episode.
