159: Diagonal Flight

We are (recording) live in Iowa City for this episode, joined by friend of the show Steve. After a triad of beer brags, we get into a quiz about music and movies of yesteryear to much groans and moans. Then we get right into the FDR, which involves a flight of beers that we have wanted to try side-by-side for some time now. The results intrigue to the extent that the ratings system is not robust to handle it.

Beers in this episode: Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA, Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA

Cheers!

158: Hurlometer

Michael cannot beer brag because he has no beers to brag, but Jeremy makes up for it with two brews to boast about. What's Thew with you. Then we have some mail from the American Pale Male Mail Pail about brews at theme parks. After an aside about harvesting yeast, we get to the FDR, which is a beer from a band. Michael drops some knowledge about said band, then we imbibe.

157: Working Man's Chalice

It is our third Anniversary Show! Osmium tuxedos on, Jeremy starts with a segment inspired by a beer brag when he asks, what midwest state makes the best beer? After considering this, Michael chips in his beer brag, White Monkey from Victory. We then move on to a quiz on guessing the value of chase beers, much to our amazement. Michael rattles off the stats from the past year and then we move on to the FDR. We bring the prestige this week and it relates to another beer that we had for another milestone (and a video game journalist named Simone?)

156: Hyper Elite Horserace

We botched the intro. It happens. We recover by going into beer brags, where Jeremy has an imperial stout while waiting for a movie to start. Meanwhile, Michael sampled a variety of brews from Fair State Brewing. Next, we hit the Brews News hard. Cedar Rapids apparently has great water for beer, the Juicy IPA is now an official style of the Brewers Association, a New Belgium releases a new brew with that tastes like that good kind kind, without any of the kind kind in it. Finally, we get into the FDR, which takes a turn for the worse after some deliberation.

155: Dubbel Down

After a subdued intro, we get into beer brags. Jeremy has a root beer barrel aged brew and a new IPA that is out of this world. Michael has a German beer from Schnieder Weiss that exceeded expectations. Next, we Dubbel Down on Brews News with an article about a scandal surrounding a hard-to-get beer and the newly released top 50 craft breweries of 2018. After much discussion and plans to drink a chelada, we get into the FDR, where a strange IPA turns out to be not as strange as anticipated. Finally, we sound the affirmative Dancehall Airhorn to celebrate Jeremy's tenure. Not to be confused with the airhorn of dissent.

Beer in this episode: Omnipollo Schplong!

154: Cards With Humanity

Beer brags starts off with a Run the Jewels brew, but evolves into brew brags as Jeremy discusses Brew Hoo Hoo's next endeavor. Michael responds with a brew of his own, coupled with a maddening quiz. Then, more beer! It's brews news. This week we talk about glitter beers and the glitter itself. Next, it is FDR time, which ironically is the least beer-centric portion of the show because we talk about ska and snowboarding and stuff like that.

Cheers!

153: Tucking the Kimono

We kick it off with a LIVE beer brag from the future in a boisterous brewpub, then snap back to the past. Michael has a quiz for Jeremy, flipping the "beer the band" concept into "band the beer". Then we get right in to the FDR, trying a bizarre one from Austria. Also, discussion about malt liquor.
