    Trillium Visit, Then We Chased Tree House Beer in Boston… and Ended Up at a Kiosk

    Episode 12 - In this episode of The Adam & Dedra Show, we’re taking the Boston beer adventure back to Massachusetts with a trip to Trillium Brewing, a surprise Tree House Brewing beer garden, and one dangerously smooth 10.7% quadruple IPA: Tree House Haze Infinite. We break down the hazy IPAs, porters, barrel-aged stout temptation, brewery food, and the chaos of trying to experience Tree House without actually making it to the brewery. We also dive into our Boston food stops, including Trillium’s empanadas and Asian spare ribs, a massive crab and shrimp BLT from Faneuil Hall, live music in the rain, questionable brewery hats, missed merch regrets, and the kind of travel planning mistake that ends with buying 20-something cans of beer from a Tree House kiosk. If you love craft beer, brewery travel, hazy IPAs, Boston food spots, Tree House Brewing, Trillium Brewing, and husband-and-wife banter with a side of food-fueled chaos, this episode is for you. Featured Beer: Tree House Haze Infinite Brewery Stops: Trillium Brewing and Tree House Brewing Food Stops: Trillium Brewing, Faneuil Hall, West End Strollers Location: Boston, Massachusetts Come for the beer, stay for the experience, and leave with new food places to try out.

    Episode 11 - Adam and Dedra take The Adam & Dedra Show to Boston, Massachusetts for a craft beer-filled visit to Sam Adams and the Boston Beer Company brewery in Jamaica Plain.

Along the way, they talk Boston food, rainy weather, late-night pizza at 21st Amendment, getting skunked at Cheers, hunting for a real Boston accent, and why the craft beer experience is always about more than just what’s in the glass. If you love brewery tours, craft beer travel, Sam Adams, Boston food stops, hazy IPAs, barrel-aged beer, and funny husband-and-wife podcast banter, this episode is for you.

    Arizona Wilderness Pregame: Hazy IPAs, Surprising Barrel Aged Program & Episode 10 Chaos

    Episode 10 - In this milestone 10th episode of The Adam and Dedra Show, we head back to one of our favorite downtown Phoenix spots, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. on Roosevelt Row. We stopped in before a Diamondbacks game for a little pregame action, which of course meant hazy IPAs, food, laughs, and Adam using “due diligence” as an excuse to order a full flight of specialty barrel-aged beers. We kicked things off with Mini Super from Societe Brewing Company out of San Diego, then dove into our Arizona Wilderness visit, including Every Day is Earth Day, Death to IPA, a few Co-op specialty releases, and a surprise barleywine that Dedra actually enjoyed. We also get into their Wicked Chicken sandwich, duck fat fries, homemade ketchup, and why their downtown Phoenix location is such a great spot for beer, food, and patio time before a game. Of course, because it’s us, the episode also takes a few turns. We talk Memorial Day weekend, shout out breweries supporting veterans, celebrate episode 10 with spirit fingers, deal with allergy voices, and somehow introduce “Glado” (the guy version of the smoking, New Jersey born voice character of Dedra called "Gladys") to the world. It’s craft beer, food, baseball, and ridiculous conversation... exactly the kind of chaos we love. Come for the beer, stay for the food, and leave with another Arizona brewery to add to your list.

    We Pregamed the Podcast… Then Talked Bone Haus Brewing and Our 65-Mile Drive

    Episode 8 - We pre-gamed it on this episode which shows especially at the end of this episode.  Haha.  Great times!! In this episode of The Adam and Dedra Show, we take a very worthwhile road trip across the Valley to visit Bone Haus Brewing in Fountain Hills, Arizona... a brewery packed with killer beers, amazing views, spooky pirate-skeleton vibes, and one dangerously competitive scavenger hunt. We talk through our favorite beers from the visit, including hazies, West Coast IPAs, stouts, prickly pear ales, and the standout Octavo Año collaboration with Wren House. Plus, we kick things off with an “Old Fashioned Friday on a Thursday,” debate whether a chocolate peanut butter stout pairs with bourbon, and share why Bone Haus is absolutely worth the drive from Buckeye. Cheers to great beer, great people, veterans, bone dogs, and breweries that feel like a full-on experience. Click here to send us a message! We’d love to hear from you!

    The Wandering Tortoise Sour Fest: 15 Beers, Ceviche, Poke Banh Mi & One Giant Straw

    Episode 7 -  We hit The Wandering Tortoise in Phoenix for their Sour Fest, and things got deliciously out of control. Between smoothie sours, hazy IPA palate cleansers, Nelson’s Fish Market ceviche, a poke banh mi sandwich, and Dedra freezing in perfect Arizona weather, this episode had everything we love: craft beer, great food, questionable decisions, and plenty of laughs.  Before diving into the beer lineup, we stopped by Nelson’s Fish Market next door for their Peruvian-style ceviche and a poke banh mi that almost ruined our drinking day in the best way possible. Then it was off to Sour Fest, where we tasted our way through beers from Great Notion, Drekker, rAr, WeldWerks, Trillium, Toppling Goliath, Everywhere, North Park, and more.  Our big winner of the day? A tropical smoothie-style sour from Great Notion that was so good we had it more than once, shared it with friends, and brought a can home.  Dedra debates buying a Nelson’s Fish Market hat, we discuss why fries will always beat salad, and a giant paper straw nearly becomes the main character.  In This Episode   Sour Fest at The Wandering Tortoise Food from Nelson’s Fish Market Peruvian-style ceviche with hake  Poke banh mi sandwich  Noble Bread temptation  Great Notion smoothie sour  Drekker, rAr, WeldWerks, Trillium, and more  Hazy IPA breaks between sour beers  The mimosa slushy and the giant paper straw  Why Dedra was freezing in 75-degree Arizona weather  Our love for craft beer taprooms done right  Featured Stops   The Wandering Tortoise  Phoenix, Arizona  Craft beer taproom and home of the Sour Fest we visited in this episode.   Nelson’s Fish Market  Phoenix, Arizona  Fresh seafood, ceviche, poke banh mi, and dangerously tempting merch next door to The Wandering Tortoise.   Beers Mentioned    Great Notion — Tropical smoothie-style sour  Great Notion — Jammy Pants  Great Notion — Blueberry Muffin  Drekker — Chonk Peach & White Chocolate  Drekker — There Will Be PRRRT  rAr Out of Order — Who Got Spirit  rAr Out of Order — Rang  WeldWerks — Bam Bam Rubble Rubble  Casey Blending — Ghost Note  Bottle Logic — Upside Down  Trillium — Daily Serving Peach & Apricot  Toppling Goliath — Fire, Skulls & Money  Everywhere — Tracing the Departed  Everywhere — Nothing in the Way  North Park — Aroma Constrictor  Craft beer, Arizona taprooms, sour beers, smoothie sours, hazy IPAs, Phoenix food spots, seafood, ceviche, banh mi, brewery road trips, and couples trying to make responsible choices while ordering “just one more” sample pour.   Follow The Adam & Dedra Show   Cheers, everybody — and please like us on all your stuff.

    An 8% Dinosaur Beer, Brunch, and Brewery Hopping

    Episode 6 - Prolific Brewing, Brunch House, and the Sonorosaurus Situation In this episode of The Adam and Dedra Show, we crack open Sonorosaurus from Wren House Brewing, a double dry-hopped double IPA that comes in at 8% but drinks way smoother than it probably should. We also recap our trip out to the Temecula, including a stop at Prolific Brewing Company, where we found a small industrial-style taproom, great beer, quality merch, and one of those back areas where you’re not totally sure if you’re allowed to walk through... but you do it anyway with confidence. Before the brewery hopping began, we grabbed brunch at The Brunch House, where Adam went all-in on shrimp and grits, Dedra took a chance on chicken fried steak, and a very hardworking server fought the patio door while trying to deliver approximately every cup of coffee in California. In This Episode Adam and Dedra talk about:  Drinking Sonorosaurus from Wren House Brewing  Why an 8% craft beer is very different from old-school high-gravity malt liquor  Dedra officially joining the Wren House bandwagon  Visiting Prolific Brewing Company near Temecula Adam’s De Luz West Coast Double IPA Dedra’s Valley Fog Hazy IPA Adam’s Post Pile American Chocolate Stout The cherry chocolate stout that sounded interesting, even though fruit and chocolate is apparently a crime  Buying brewery merch when a place earns it  California driving stress  Brunch at The Brunch House Why smaller breweries make it easier to meet people and get local recommendations Featured Beer Sonorosaurus  Brewery: Wren House Brewing  Style: Double Dry-Hopped Double IPA  ABV: 8% Smooth, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink for an 8% double IPA. This one helped kick off the episode and reminded us why Wren House has earned its reputation. Brewery Stop Prolific Brewing Company  Area: Temecula, California Prolific gave us exactly the kind of brewery experience we love: a smaller industrial taproom, good beer, friendly atmosphere, and a place that feels easy to settle into for more than just one drink. Beers Mentioned from Prolific De Luz - West Coast Double IPA - 8.7% ABVValley Fog - Hazy IPA - 6.5% ABVPostpile - American Chocolate Stout - 5.5% ABVMidnight Luau - Cherry Chocolate StoutFood Stop The Brunch House - Temecula, CaliforniaA solid brunch stop with patio seating, good coffee, and plenty of breakfast options. Adam loved the shrimp and grits, while Dedra’s chicken fried steak was good but didn’t quite hit the craving the way she hoped. Memorable Moments Adam compares Sonorosaurus to old-school malt liquor before immediately making it clear this is much, much better. Dedra explains why California driving is stressful, even when Adam insists Temecula is not that bad. The back area at Prolific creates that classic brewery moment of, “Are we allowed to be here, or are we about to get yelled at?” Adam defends being interested in a cherry chocolate stout even though he does not like fruit and chocolate together in normal food form. Dedra gives credit to the brunch server carrying an entire patio’s worth of drinks while battling a door and coffee spillage.

    Temecula Beer Surprise: Bare Knuckle Brewing + Amazing Empanadas (nobody was harmed during the show)

    Episode 5 - In this episode of The Adam and Dedra Show, we head to Temecula, California to visit Bare Knuckle Brewing, a small brewery with a big personality tucked inside the Vail Headquarters area. We talk about the cozy setup, the outdoor patio, the beers we tried, and why this spot keeps pulling us back every time we’re in town. We also crack open a Monkish hazy called Water Balloon Fight Club, which immediately reminds us why Monkish is one of our favorite breweries for hazy IPAs. And as if great beer wasn’t enough, this episode also includes an unexpected food win from Nora’s Empanada Factory, where we found some seriously satisfying empanadas that paired way too well with the day. From classic IPAs and red ales to hidden patios, brewery conversations, and food detours that completely deliver, this one was a fun Temecula stop from start to finish. In this episode: Opening a Monkish Water Balloon Fight Club double dry-hopped double IPAWhy Monkish continues to impress us with hazy IPAsVisiting Bare Knuckle Brewing in Temecula’s Vail HeadquartersThe charm of small breweries with big characterWhat makes Bare Knuckle such a fun repeat stop for usDiscovering that they serve food tooOur surprise stop at Nora’s Empanada FactoryBeef, chicken, ham and cheese, and pizza empanadasWhy we definitely need to go back for wings and a concert nightBeers we tried, including: Stars and StrikesSeeing StarsRope-A-DopeDown Goes Nelson Featured spots: Bare Knuckle Brewing Company – Temecula, CANora’s Empanada Factory – Temecula, CAMonkish Brewing – featured beer for this episodeFollow along: Find more brewery visits, food stops, and craft beer adventures from us on our website and socials.
