Maine Beer Geeks: Hardball & Hops Richard Bateman

In this episode we taste a selection of craft beers picked up along our travels this Summer/Fall.  Check out which ones made the cut and our thoughts about each.  And listen in on some more riveting baseball talk from two unbiased fans.  😂😜

In this episode we turn our attention to the west coast with a tasting of beers from Russian River Brewing Company.  Many of you are already familiar with some well-know craft beers from this iconic brewery - such as Pliny the Elder, Blind Pig, and Pliny the Younger - but we dive into the barrel aged end of the spectrum to sample some treats a bit our of our lane.  Check in to hear our thoughts.

We're baaaaack!!  After a Summer hiatus... yeah, we took off the entire 2023 MLB season much like the Boston Red Sox... we're back in the recording studio and doing our thing.  And that "thing" would be talking baseball and drinking tasty craft beer.  Being that this is a milestone episode for us - #100, in fact - we are tasting a selection of beers from our all-time favorite brewery - Hill Farmstead (Greensboro Bend, Vermont).  Listen in to hear our thoughts and to also find out who we've dedicated this special installment to.  Cheers!

In this episode we taste some Massachusetts craft beer send to us from one of our loyal  listeners, Chase Castner @chaseboat77.  He was kind enough to send us three NEIPA varieties from Coastal Maine Brewing in Beverly, MA.  Listen in to hear our thoughts on these hazy treats.  We also review the projected roster for the Boston Red Sox as they enter the 2023 MLB... and we give our fearless forecast on the win total for the hometown team.

In this episode we talk baseball and Kevin is presented with a new craft beer from a familiar family of beers we both happen to love.  Listen in to find out what we're drinking!

In this episode we revisit a few Maine craft beer favorites and taste another from a recent Maine Beer Geeks roadtrip.  We also talk about scheduled and possible beer festivals coming up here in Maine later on this year.  Lastly, we discuss news coming from the Maine Brewers' Guild.  We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we did recording it.  Cheers!
