After 7 years of being anonymous, 1.5 million words written about beer, and preaching the gospel of Barleywine is Life, Don't Drink Beer's Alex Kidd gets into the deep, dark world of podcasting. Joining him are his co-hosts, comedy writers and performers Stephen Loh and Michael Gabriel. Together they explore the absurd underbelly of the craft beer world while also discussing movies, music, video games, pop culture, and their sad, basement dwelling lives.

This isn't a beer podcast, it's a life podcast

I feel like this podcast buries the lede. The Malty Bois talk about it like it's a beer and comedy podcast, reviewing whales and doing bits. But really, on a deeper level this is a personal journey. It's a shared look into what would normally be a deeply private transformation. We are all witnesses to Michael, the Yale-educated PMG, becoming a real adult. He's learning vocabulary from Alex at the beginning of every episode. He's being educated in basic life lessons, like the meaning of "licking your chops." Malt Couture is like a coming of age sitcom, except Michael is Mork learning about humanity. It's beautiful.

“You are not your cellar!!!”

So true... everything I have ever learned about being... and not being.... a craft beer snob has been from this podcast. Turns out that standing in lines under low-flying news helicopters for fermented sugar water is actually quite hilarious! I traded B1 Atrial Rubicite for a non-variant Dark Lord, and I’m ok with that! Thank you guys for drinking beer so that I don't have to.

I quit drinking beer

I was spending hundreds of dollars per month driving to bottle and can releases and Razzling and trading my grandmas 401K for trub and adjunct sugar. But now, I no longer have to worry about drinking because I get my Sustenance through my ear holes now. 420 Blaze it n00bs
