    Red, White, and Blue: Two Ways

    With the impending 250th anniversary of this country of ours (AMERICA), we celebrate the only way we know how: by drinking three IPAs and three Belgian Trappist beers that are only united by three common colors. We sample the Reds, Whites, and Blues of Lombard, Illinois' Noon Whistle Brewing and Chimay, Belgium's Brasserie de Chimay in a side-by-side that frankly makes no other sense (and creates a real boondoggle in rankings.) We get a bit nostalgic in a different way as we feel some 2012 coming back to us; we get some real superstars for our own patriotic backyard wrestling celebration; we entirely ignore proper chalice use; and we're just looking for someone to validate our chocolate.  Beers Reviewed Noon Whistle Brewing - Hop Prism Red (Red IPA) Noon Whistle Brewing - Hop Prism White (White IPA) Noon Whistle Brewing - Hop Prism Blue (American IPA) Brasserie de Chimay - Chimay Première: Red (Belgian Dubbel) Brasserie de Chimay - Chimay Cinq Cents: White (Belgian Tripel) Brasserie de Chimay - Chimay Grande Réserve: Blue (Belgian Strong Dark Ale)

    Hot Days, Cold Times

    You can thank the lager renaissance for allowing this nerdy and delicious mixed 12-pack to exist, and Revolution absolutely knocks it out of the park with this one. Along with the four different lagers under the "Cold Time" brand, we add in a throwback Wit just for kicks - and we can anticipate many coolers full of Rev this summer. But also, we debrief on the first ever tornado delay on the podcast (and the legion of dads keeping an eye on it); we introduce Chunky Boy Lagers™ into the mix; and we create our ultimate dream mixed Revolution 12 pack. Revolution Beers Reviewed Cold Time (American Lager) Cold Time Dry (Japanese Rice Lager) Cold Time Amber (Amber Lager) Cold Time Extra (Export Lager) Bottom Up Wit

    Tales From The Kettle

    While more and more craft breweries streamline their releases to reflect what's popular and marketable, we're happy to see when others make weirdo quick sours that include unconventional ingredients - and we're here to celebrate four of those types of beers. For this one, we try to abandon our fears and embrace the tart while learning a bit about what we prefer off of these quickly-made abnormal sours. Also, Ryan's ready to market an invention that'll change how you wash your face; Craig was secretly hoping for a smoothie; and we relive the horrors of that one Genesis music video. (You know the one.)  Beers Reviewed Mikerphone Brewing [w/ Xul Beer Company] - Land of Transfusion (Fruited Sour w/ Concord grape juice, lime juice, and ginger) Neuronova Brewing - Solstice Fires (Berliner Weisse w/ blueberry, marionberry, and loganberry) Dokkaebier - Kimchi Sour (Sour w/ Kimchi culture, ginger, and gochugaru) Stillwater Artisanal/Freigeist Bierkultur/Meinklang - Organic Ancient Grain Sour

    Hop Roundup: Taste The Summer

    Bare knees and tight tees on patio dads call for some hopped-up brews to pair with that carefully-curated summer vibes playlist, and we're here sampling a half dozen interesting locals. We're also considering what makes warm weather food vs. cold weather food; we're having a hell of a time ranking our favorite hops; and we are admittedly a little biased against gazpacho. Four out of five dentists agree - and we don't even like that fifth dentist.  Beers Reviewed Revolution Brewing - Anti-Zero (Non-Alcoholic IPA) Old Irving Brewing Company - Billy Goat (IPA) Saint Errant Brewing - Rivers of Suggestion (IPA) Brutalist Brewing Cooperative - Aisle of Pine (IPA) Half Acre Beer Co./Allagash Brewing Company - Daisy Cutter Crown (IPA) Half Acre Beer Co. - Double Daisy Cutter Evergreen (Double IPA)

    Supermoon Cellar Society 2025

    It takes a certain level of trust in a brewery to join a membership program - and we have full faith in everything Milwaukee's Supermoon does, so Craig's re-upping every year he can. We get to sample the four quarterly, limited releases for members of Supermoon's Cellar Society from last year, and it's downright spooky how good they all are. Also, Ryan just might have to fight a bird, Craig is uncertain about mushrooms, and we are proposing that next year Rob make a bad beer, just to see what it's like. Beers Reviewed No Sudden Moves (Flanders Oud Bruin-style Sour aged in oak w/ Montmorency cherries) Golden Teacher (Mixed Culture Saison w/ Sencha Green Tea & Chanterelle Mushrooms) Zig Zig (Mixed Culture Saison aged in French oak w/ red currants and red wine grapes) Cellargeist Reserve (Gin Barrel-aged Mixed Culture Saison w/ Tahitian Vanilla Beans)

    London Pouring

    While American craft breweries are cycling back to showing English appreciation, what's going on with craft beer from England? Thanks to friend & listener Ryan Lamb, we get to sample beers from five London breweries that prove that there's no loss of quality across the pond. We get the stories behind each of these producers while appreciating the subtle differences in their presentation that make us respect the British way. But also, Ryan is mad at Guy Fieri for tarnishing the name of dad jokes, so it's still the same old ABV Chicago.  Beers Reviewed Signature Brew - Studio Lager (Pilsner) Bianca Road Brewing Company - EASY (Session IPA) Anspach & Hobday - London Black (English Porter) Pretty Decent Beer Co. [collab w/ Apollon] - Spinning Plates (NEIPA) The Kernel Brewery - Export Stout

    Tennesseein' is Tennedrinkin'

    It's been a long while since we've celebrated some of the great breweries of Tennessee, but thanks to Craig's Dollywood trip we have a lineup of solid and surprising options here from The Gulch and beyond. We study up on the breweries, which includes a "World's First…", and then we learn more about chestnuts than we expected. Also, we wonder if the music industry is de-valuing the album anniversary; Ryan's found the robustanut; and Craig shares the truth about Knoxville's Sunsphere - and why you really shouldn't jump in its elevator.  Beers Reviewed Yazoo Brewing Company - Daddy-O Pilsner Tennessee Brew Works - King Chestnut (Brown ale w/chestnuts) Marble Fox Brewing - Ghost Runner On 1st (West Coast-style IPA) Pretentious Beer Co. - New Kids (Double IPA) Yazoo Brewing Company - Sue (Imperial Smoked Porter)

    Lactose Tolerance

    Some might say that using lactose is antithetical to good beer, but there's some distinct purpose in using milk sugar in certain beers despite it causing all us 40-and-ups some real tummy troubles. For this episode, we try four lactose-enhanced beers to see how it impacts mouthfeel and sweetness, and we are a little surprised by the all-bangers lineup that results. But also, Craig's got a new dog-walking mystery, we're trying to find the right pairing for meat crepes, Ryan's SNL audition was a little one-note, and we're popping those bungs through the ceiling with some Lemon Milk™. Beers Reviewed Hop Butcher for the World - Blazed Orange Milkshake (IPA w/ oranges, vanilla, and lactose) Pipeworks Brewing Company - Cow vs. Unicorn (Double IPA w/ lactose) The Explorium Brewpub - Carver's Peanut Butter Stout (Imperial stout w/ peanuts, chocolate, and lactose) More Brewing Co. - Rye Tide (Rye milk stout w/ lactose aged in rye whiskey barrels)
