185: Yams. I Want Yams.

Heellllllloo. Welcome to the show. Jeremy starts off with an Oktoberfest beer brag, talking about Reunion Brewing's Oktoberfest offering. Then he reminiscences back to Simpler Times, the beer, in a foray into the Trader Joe's store brand offerings. Michael retorts with a brag on Central Waters' Oktoberfest. He then provides a brief overview of some brews from his trip to the Upper Peninsula, including Bell's Oktoberfest, Breakfast Stout, Ore Dock Brewing, Blackrocks Brewery, and a coconut brown (coconut brown). After all beer talk, we switch over to coffee talk, as it was vital to Jeremy's success in the Film Scream horror movie marathon. Jeremy summarizes the films and his experience. Finally, we move on to the FDR, where a beer that was "set up for failure", manages to impress. Within the conversation, we postulate a bourbon apple pie and recall that time we all had cigars.

184: Take Our Quiz!

Michael kicks it off with an event brag on attending a talk from the author of The State of Beer, a book about breweries in Wisconsin. Then, on the exact opposite side of the spectrum, he "brags" about having Goose Island Oktoberfest and a Virtue Cider. Jeremy mentions a Double IPA that he had from Peace Tree Brewing. Next, we have a meandering discussion on horror movies and adaptations/remakes/reboots etc. Finally, it is time for the FDR, where we remain the Germany for yet another brew.

183: Trebuchet!

Jeremy and Michael both have event related beer brags. Jeremy went to a wedding reception at a beer garden in... Omaha? Where he indulged in Germans such as Hack-Pschorr and Warsteiner, as well as indulging in some La Trappe. Plus, an auxillary brag about Carlsberg Elephant. Michael went to a Pumpkin Chuck that was sadly cut short, but he managed to have an oktoberfest and an scotch ale. Also, he finally gets to add an addendum to Jeremy's beer brag from last year for Atomic Pumpkin. All this talk is sprinkled with Red Hots, Hot Tamales, and other cinnamon candy. We open up the American Pale Male Mail Pail to some Brews News about declining sales in American macros followed by Jeremy issuing a "correction". Finally, we get to the FDR, where we step outside Bavaria for a different type of German beer.

182: A Little Bit of Juge

Remember the days of pre-big head Baldwin? I barely did. Jeremy brags about Octobot 3000, an imperial Oktoberfest of sorts. Michael plays catch-up by also imbibing the Sierra Nevada/Weihenstephan Oktoberfest collaboration. We then get into homebrew talk. Michael gives an update on the recipe that Jeremy devised for him then discusses a sweet, husk-ridden treat. Finally, it all devolves into zymurgy. Michael pulls a quiz from the internet, where we do not remember remember the Fifth of November. And lastly, it is FDR time, where an ancient Irish legend lends its name to a brew.
