Happy Halloween from your bestest friends at thespeakpodcast! Adults and children alike will be out this evening enjoying the fresh-air and taking candy from strangers. Why not have an adult beverage ready to hand out to those trick or treaters over the age of 21 the combines both booze and sweet chocolatey goodness? Maybe Yuengling Hershey's Chocolate Porter is just the ticket! Tune in to get out thoughts on the the beer and comment below what you think.

It's been too long since we've offended the public at large. In an effort to remind you all of the profundity and brilliance of our beer knowledge we have decided to discuss one hop across three styles. Make sure to take detailed notes as this episode will surely help you pass your Cicerone Certification Program.The offerings in this episode all contain mosaic hops. We start with Small and Soft from Bare Hands Brewery. This New England Style Pale Ale offers great utility and artwork that left Adam nearly speechless. Next up was was an American IPA; Pompeii from Toppling Goliath Brewing Company. Clocking in at 6.3% ABV it's not even close to one of their strongest offerings, but this one stood out with strong pineapple flavors. To finish out the episode we sampled one of Destihl Brewery's Deadhead IPA Series, Touch of Haze. Juicier than the Pompeii it hid the 7.3% ABV quite well.Let us know what you think about mosaic hops and let us know what other hops you think we should explore! Cheers! 

It's finally happened! We located an Indiana brewery that we haven't previously offended and was not aware of the inherent risks associated with the mere presence of Adam in the building. Cedar Creek Brewing Company opened the brewery doors and collaborated with us on our first ever commercial beer release, Revival! This pre-prohibition lager is an all-day drinker with an earthy and hoppy finish that is so clear, you could read a book through it! Not that we at thespeakpodcast endorse reading. You know, because effort and stuff. Special thank you to Sugar Creek Malt Company for providing the finest in local malt products and helping making our beer the refreshingly outstanding product that it is. If you want to try it, hurry to Cedar Creek Brewing now. Or, for you folks further up North, Brewdog Indy should have some as well. Oh, and a very special thanks to Kevin from Indy's second favorite podcast, OHHAP :)  Cheers!  

That's right, a Halloween episode in May. It just so happens that we sampled Adam Has Two Moms from Sun King brewing back in October and that particular American Amber comes out seasonally in the summer. So this all makes sense... Just really going to need for you to go with it. Two American Amber Ales, a Rye IPA, and a whiskey. Enjoy!

Hey Boos, check out our newest Shorty featuring INterspace. INterspace is an Out of This World (puns are great) collaboration with Cedar Creek Brewing and Indy's (second) best podcast, Out Here Having a Pint. They kept it local featuring malt from Sugar Creek Malt Company and hops from 812 Farms. As space was involved, we knew we needed to keep it brief; lest you all wanted to hear Adam's dissertation about Star Wars in a post-modern America. You may just want to take our word for it, nobody wants to hear that. Let us know what you think about our Shorty series. Feel free to give us a rating as well. Oh, and tell your friends!

Every now and again we're gifted some beverages from brewers or friends of the show. Usually these are limited type releases and not everyone can get their hands on 'em. While we don't always encourage scouring the secondary market for beer, we do have to say... the beers same on this episode were mighty fine.  If you're fortunate enough to have some Scheming Demons from Deviate Brewing or a bomber of Feu De Camp from Black Flag Brewing Company sitting around, feel free to play the home game with us. Or, if you've had them before, let us know what you thought of them! Either way, here's another 45 minutes of mindless entertainment XOXO thespeakpodcast PS - Special thanks to our pal, Nate King for stopping by to share a beer with us. If you find yourself if need of a fine smoking pipe, check out his stuff!
