Beer For Thought beerforthought

And we're back! This week we showcase a full show on something we've never done, traditional German-style lagers. We also welcome back long time friend of the show, holder of the record for most guest appearances, Nick Abeyta. We have a great time discussing the brewery that does this style best (in the U.S.), Bierstadt Lagerhaus out of Denver, Co. Hope you enjoy and Till the Last Drop!



Beer Line-up: Helles, The Slow Pour Pills, Dunkel, Snupinator (Doppelbock), and Tmavé 13 (Czech Dark Lager), all from Bierstadt Lagerhaus.

Local Spotlight: Sick Invite (Sour Hazy DIPA with Coconut, Palo Santo, and Lactose), a collaboration from Ex Novo Brewing Co. and Gravity Bound Brewing Co.

Bonus Speed Round: Pilsner and Kolsch from Prost Brewing Co.

AND. WE'RE. BACK. It's been about 11 months since our last podcast released, but the people spoke.. all five of them. So we're back to talk some beer and have a good time. For our return we decided to drink some of the best beer in you can find in the cold state of Alaska, from a little brewery called Anchorage Brewing Company. If you've ordered off Tavour you've probably heard of them. We decided to drink four of their offerings and highlight a local brewery in between. Hope you enjoy and Till the Last Drop!

Beer Line-up: Good Night, Sleep Tight (DDH IPA - All Citra), Incantation (Sour Ale with Passion Fruit, Guava, and Apricots), Doomed (Imperial Stout with Klatch Coffee and Madagascar Vanilla Beans Fermented in Age Missouri Oak) and The Sacrifice (Imperial Stout with Coconut).

Local Spotlight: Sunday Traffic - Bosque Brewing

We had this episode in the bank and decided it was time to drop it. We are joined again by Nick Abeyta as Tasting 70 goes to Denver and the great beer scene they have. We drank five beers from five different breweries in Denver, CO and enjoyed some great laughs. Due to the current pandemic we are facing as a human race, this may be the last Tasting we have for awhile, as we adhere to the demands of physical distancing.
As always thanks for listening, and Till the Last Drop!

Beer Line-up: Hoplite from Black Project Brewing Company, St. Bretta Citrus Wildbier from Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project, Manannan from Tvre Brewing Company, Hazelnut Mocha Forever Awake from Cerebral Brewing Company and Shadowman II form River North Brewing Company.

Tasting 68 certainly had its ups and downs, but that didn't take away from the great time we had with guests Nick and Andres. Turning Point Beer was a brewery that we loved visiting their GABF booth, so we were excited to showcase an episode on them. This little brewery from Bedford, TX was fun to dissect and even referenced one of the best shows of all-time.
Thanks for listening and Till the Last Drop!

Tasting 67 will go down as one of our favorites yet. This highly regarded, yet vastly underappreciated brewery is located in Seattle, and is simply known as Fremont Brewing Company. We were joined by our buddy Nick Abeyta and a new guest and friend, Jonathan, to enjoy these delicious offerings. We drank some high ABV beers so the night quickly got out of hand, but we had a great time as usual.
Thanks for listening and Till the Last Drop!
