Ep. 4.03 "Work is the Curse of the Brewing Class"
What is beer, anyway? Why does it pair well with ponderous thoughts?
Jeff Baker hosts fellow philosophers Tyler Doggett (who actually teaches philosophy at University of Vermont) and Kenny Richards (who thoughtfully produces ginger beers at Halyard Brewing) in a mostly coherent quest for some answers.
What's in the Fridge:
Baker is joined by co-host (and fellow heavy thinker) Jason Strempek for some warm-weather elixirs, including lemon-heavy Del's Shandy from Rhode Island-based Narrangansett Beer (4.7 percent ABV); Pink Lemonade Shandy (4.4 percent ABV) by UFO Beers; and Volcano Juice (4.1 percent ABV) from South Burlington-based Halyard Brewing.

Customer Reviews
Beer Talk, try not to like it!
OK, so I love beer. There I said it. Also, other hobbies include sound production.
I think this podcast has very useful, concise info regarding multiple styles of beer. Their fully involved, yet illuminating reviews of coffee tinged beers, was masterful.
However, the sound levels are all over the map. The primary host is exemplary. He knows when to speak and when not to. He really has mastered the Podcast "Voice".
My problem lies with this, Jason Strempek. He has the voice, and the looks of a good to great podcast partner. My issue with him is that he disrupts the sound levels each time he speaks on the podcast. I suspect that he has a lot of body hair. This will often times mute or alter his voice. Sometimes to his detriment. He clearly knows his stuff, but his voice is being squandered.
That woman at the beginning.....
I don't know if they changed this, but one of the reasons I couldn't get into this show was that woman at the beginning saying "welcome to It's the Beer Talking." She sounds like she has a fake southern accent, or is trying to sound like she has a northern Vermont twang. Stop it. We don't all sound like that. It's irritating and offensive.
