071: Freaky Deaky

Hello everybody, and welcome to American Pale Males, our nerdy beer tasting podcast! Today's episode starts with Irish memories as Michael mentions a few more brews he tried in the Emerald Isle. Next, Mike jumps in with a recent tasting done with Friend of the Show Doug. Michael then steals one of Mike's old Week in Geek entries, while Mike blathers a bit about the Olympics and a new board game acquisition. Then, it's a trip to the Pale Mailbag for a few postcards/tweets from Friends of the Show Jeremy and Steve. Finally, the FDR: a beer that may force us to add an "Explicit" tag to our podcast!

070: Barbecue Reachability

Michael kicks off today's episode with some exciting details from his recent trip to Ireland! It's a regular coup as Michael combines his Beer Brags and his Week in Geek with info from Ireland before Mike has a chance to give his own additions to the segments. Next, the fellows open the old Pale Mailb(r)ag, and are pleasantly surprised to find quite a few pieces inside! Finally, the FDR: an Irish beer that Michael had to return to the States to find.

069: I'm Pipsy!

Today's episode kicks off with a very friendly attitude, which carries through the rest of the show. Michael regales everyone with more Beer Brags from Colorado (The Golden Chalice State), while Mike also throws back to last week's tasting for his own brags. Next, Michael peaks with his Week in Geek Brag, while Mike talks about some geeky acquisitions that were made possible with his Amazon Mechanical Turk money. Then, Mike finally gets off his rear end and gives Michael a short quiz that leads right into the FDR- a beer that you might expect to be mixed in a metal cup!

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.
