173: Podcast-A-Rita

We get in too deep in this ep, unraveling the conspiracies of the brewing industry. But first! Beer brags. Michael had a locally made tripel and Jeremy had BCBS. This leads into Goose Island chat then subsequently opening the door to the cellar where the walls are covered in bulletin boards laden with photos, articles, and yarn connecting them all. Next up, donuts and the Simpsons. Followed by, the FDR... which happens to be part of our bulletin board. There is no escape.

172: Dunk the 5

This episode is all about beer. Yes. Michael kicks it off with a elite beer brag of Gulden Draak that did not taste like he last recalled. Jeremy replies with his own brag, which is not a dubbel, not a tripel, but a quadrupel beer brag, going through the status Broken Elbow Ale, an update on Brut IPAs, a sessionable Russian imperial stout, and finally ending with a limited edition Kolsch from New Belgium. This leads into two articles, both on tasting and ranking brews: one from hardworking landscapers and the other with brewmasters. Next is the FDR, where a stout from a flat state gives us a debate.

171: Salty, Soury, Celeryey

Things get weird in this one. Michael starts off with a beer brag, finally getting his hands on a Brut IPA, this one from Working Draft. Very interestingly weird. Jeremy one ups the weirdness by having a notable gose from Pipeworks. Michael clocks in as an investigative journalist and attends a weird beer event. Jeremy pitches a couple of podcasts and then talks weird explotation films. Finally, it is time for the FDR and through some weirding, we are having a winter seasonal brew in the middle of summer.

170: Jerembacca in Hell

This is the last episode of our Summerian Summer Series and appropriately Michael starts it off with some summer beer brags. First is a grapefruit radler and next a new offering from New Glarus, Stone Soup. The Jeremy Strikes Back with an infusion update. Hours earlier he infused Old Rasputin with oak chips and coffee. How will it fare against the original? The week in geek returns with talk about SOLO (bolo), leading into an impromptu Jerembacca on the Aisle movie discussion. GLOW is recommended and so are a couple of podcasts as the Podcast Pitch also makes a sudden return. We run some errata on Brut IPAs, then get into the FDR. It was one "Hell" of a time. Blarf.

169: Rullepølse Analogy

Michael has a bittersweet beer brag/lamentation as he scores a victory in the penultimate trivia session hosted at his usual trivia spot. Meanwhile, Jeremy touts supreme on his beer from Oregon, including a new beer style, the Brut IPA. Will it sweep the nation like the Juicy IPA. Next, we check into the American Pale Male Mail Pail, where Mike sparks a conversation about lawnmower beers. Finally, it is time for the FDR. With an arsenal of analogies, we manage to break this one down.
