051: Are You Supposed to Mix it In, Though?

The boys are back in town! (Or at least, their respective towns.) Mike shares a beer brag and Michael reports back on a visit to the Beer Barn at the Iowa Chop House, as well as a reunion with the fellas from Brew Hoo Hoo. After some Week in Geek, touching on Daredevil Season 2 and the book Packing for Mars, Mike introduces a brand new segment called Podcast Pitch (title subject to change)! Finally, it's FDR time- Michael provides the lowdown on an IPA variant from Wisconsin and Mike makes a potential tasting error.

Beer in this episode: Lakefront Brewery Fixed Gear

Cheers!

050: The Golden Episode!

Can you believe it? 50 episodes! The face-to-face recordings in Wisconsin come to an end with this momentous episode. Michael and Mike get right into it with a Live (on tape) Beer Brag featuring a limited-availability brew from another continent. Next, Michael embarrasses Mike with a Gold Quiz. Then, the main event! For this FDR, the boys get into the celebratory spirit and take in TWO very different but excellent and hard-hitting brews (one provided by friend of the show Lynne)!

Beer in this episode: Bell's Brewery Hopslam, Lagunita's Brewing Company Imperial Stout

Cheers!

049: St. Patrick's Day!

Join Michael and Mike O'Shaughnessy as they celebrate St. Patrick's Day jam packed with all sorts of Irish stuff! After some decidedly non-Irish Beer Brags, Michael challenges Mike to an Irish-themed Quiz. Then the boys get into the FDR and taste a few Guinness brews...and encounter a potential CONTROVERSY. PLUS! An awesome and informative interview with friend of the show Cory, who currently resides in Ireland!
