068: "Pretty Good"

Welcome back! How have you been? Michael's been on the road recently and relates quite a few tasty brews he's had during his travels for his Beer Brags, while Mike stays close to home with a recent beer tasting. Next, Michael relates some buzz marketing he did while at pub trivia, and Mike attempts to stay relatively current with a Netflix recommendation for the Week in Geek. The boys then take a trip to the Mail Door vis-à-vis the Pale Mailbag, with pieces from Friends of the Show Jake and Jeremy (and some person on YouTube). At last, it's time for the FDR, an old gateway beer for both of the hosts during their early beer drinking days.

067: How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?

Today's episode starts with Mike speaking in French, for whatever reason. (Maybe a hint towards the location of today's brew?) Mike begins the show relating a Homebrew Beer Brag, while Michael mentions a find in his fridge of unknown origin. Next, Mike's Week in Geek involves computer operating systems and TV in bed, while Michael speaks on a British Broadcasting Corporation show. Then, our heroes take on the machine once again in Mikes Vs. Machine (spoiler: it doesn't go well). Finally, the FDR: a brew from the Southern US that may have something in common with a greyhound.

066: Beerosity

Today's episode begins with Mike almost immediately derailing the podcast with a thought experiment. Afterward, Michael starts out the Beer Brags with a "hot" drink, while Mike relates a Pre-eer Brag. Next, Michael regales his time during a sitcom-themed trivia night for the Week in Geek, while Mike speaks of his experience doing some cheap labor. Then, Michael shares some information during a recent Wikihole dive which has a tenuous tie to today's FDR/New Deal, a brew that definitely breaks the streak of recent reviews in the three and four star range.

065: It Wouldn't Be This Show If You Hadn't Mispronounced Something

Today's episode begins with a decently-sized tangent about Fourth of July fireworks before diving into Beer Brags. Michael starts the segment talking about a nitro porter, before Mike jumps in to reminisce about a brew featured on the show. Next, Watch The Thrones makes its return to the show as the boys discuss the recent finale and the season as a whole. Then, will it be a Rise of the Machines in Mikes Vs. Machine, or will humans reign supreme? Finally, the FDR: a classic American beer with the name of a patriot.
