058: I Think I Saw Hulk 2

The boys start things off quickly with some Beer Brags from their recent respective travels, with Mike inadvertently bragging about one of Michael's chase beers. Next, Watch the Thrones makes its return to the Week in Geek/Geek Stuff section, and Mike also reports on his trip to the theater for Captain America: Civil War. Then, the fellas open the Pale Mailbag with mail from Friend (Enemy?) of the Show Jake and Friend of the Show Aaron. Finally, the FDR: a brew that may have more in common with your tea cup than your beer glass!

057: Emergency Show

Episode 57 kicks off with a new title for both Michael and Mike (#milknation)! The boys discuss a few Grand Beer Brags, and Mike potentially introduces a new segment called Beer Bargains. Michael gets in touch with Mother Earth for his Week in Geek, while Mike uses his Geek Stuff spot to talk about rewatching Marvel movies and recent developments in video games. Michael challenges Mike with a chemistry twinged quiz and Mike does really well. Finally, the New Deal- a Belgian brew that seems to split our heroes.

056: That Was My Sy Snootles

Episode 56 starts with a failed attempt by Mike to recreate Michael's wonderful intro from Episode 55, but only gets better from there!

Next, Mike takes to the stage for Geek Stuff, while Michael sides with cider for his Week in Geek. Then, Michael tests Mike's comic book knowledge with a Green or Flash quiz (have you guessed this week's brewery?). Finally, the New Deal- featuring a possibly discontinued brew!

055: I Always Thought Raphael Was a Little TOO Rude

After a flowery intro by Michael, the boys jump right in with a few Beer Brags, both very local and foreign! Next, Michael shares a video game themed Week in Geek entry, while Mike talks about a geeky exercise challenge. Then, they open the Mail Door to grab the Pale Mailbag, starting off with a possible poop joke and only getting better from there! Finally, it's New Deal time: a(n explosive) turtle-themed brew that Michael selected with Mike in mind!

054: Maybe a Famous Bison Died

This episode, the fellows jump right in, starting out with a Beer Brag from Michael that hails from the Southeast and one from Mike that hails from friend of the show Aaron! For the Week in Geek, Michael reports back on Mike's Podcast Pitch from Episode 51- was it a home run or was it a swing and a miss? Then, Mike discusses a few video games for his half of the segment. Next, Michael tests Mike's knowledge on a particular US State (and is very generous with considering Mike's answers close to being correct) that hints towards this episode's brew. Lastly, after an intro to the brewery by Mike, the boys quaff the selected brew for today's FDR!

053: I Don't Think They Should Have Done This

Episode 53 begins with a quickly abandoned inside joke, but gets better from there! Mike's Beer Brag encompasses old brews and new, and Michael has a Terrible Beer Brag. Then, Mike calls a last minute audible.com for his Week in Geek, and in a power move, Michael changes the format of the segment slightly and performs a Geek Brag. Next, the boys head to the door and grab a few notes from the Pale Mailbag. Finally, the FDR- where a remix from an established brewery leaves the co-hosts baffled!

052: APM: Year One

Against all odds, the boys are celebrating one year of American Pale Males. After some Beer Brags hailing from Iowa City and Belgium, the fellas discuss both analog and digital gaming for the Week in Geek. Then, Michael digs back through the year with an analyst's eye and hits Mike with some data regarding the beer ratings and brewery locations that have been featured on the show. Finally, the FDR- a beer that is seemingly a mixture of Michael and Mike's favorite beer types. Will this jack of all trades be a master of none? Only one way to find out!
