198: Cabbage and Hot Dogs

We open up with with trivia from 2002, though most questions really don't show their age. Topics covered include trigger happy Germans, superfans, and Jeremy & the gang wolfing down hot dogs. Though superficially the result does not sound impressive, remember these are non-cabbage trained individuals and that hot dogs are kind of nasty. For the FDR, hey you, celebrate the season with this seasonal classic.

197: Peops? Peeps? Pipys?

We open up with a little trivia from the 1980s, but not necessarily about the 1980s. Topics covered include the Wu dialect, everybody going to Rick's, Peops?, and more devastating Jeremy injuries. For the FDR, we have the pleasure of trying a former brag that was done by Michael. Bojack Horseman somehow works his way into the analysis of the brew.

196: American Pale Males Lyte

Welcome to the new (temporary) format! As we bank some episodes for an extended leave, we offer condensed weekly episodes. After introducing the format and capturing some "Lyte!" takes, we get into trivia. We face off against know-it-all questions on tiny European nations, horns, and bullwhackers. Right after that, we dive into an FDR where we try a not oft sampled style on the show.

195: The Year in Beer 2018

It is that time of year again. A time to sit back a reflect on all that has gone on in our lives over the last 365 days. We are no different here on the show, as we look back on the year in beer, twenty eighteen. First, beer brags. Jeremy has a few Eddies and Michael goes over his Christmas beers that he had from a tiny little thimble (the bourbon barrel-aged tripel comes out on top). Next, we dip into the American Pale Male Mail Pail where Counsel of the Show brings some formality to the proceedings. Jeremy rebuts. We talk more about the uncanny Christmas Claymation special before going into are year end awards. Who will win Best Adjunct in a Supporting Role? Best Beer Name? Lest we forget about Beer of the Year at that! Stay awhile and listen.


Cheers!

194: An APM Special Presentation

It is our Christmas episode, and we give about as much fanfare as we would care to. Michael reveals a beer bomb, which might spell doom in the future. Jeremy brags about unique brew he had at a loaded pizzeria. Michael unleashes a quiz about television Christmas specials, which leads to a rant on the California Raisins. For the FDR, we celebrate with an aptly named brew, but is it apt for the season?

193: JCray's Cranberry Tart

We start off with some beer bombs/brags. Michael laments a hyped brew that he saw get boulder dunked, with hopes the final product will be better. Jeremy wakes the "F" up. Auld Mike messages in regarding last week's frickle and some amusing hashtags. A meandering discussion about movies and the Oscars ensues, complete with data tables. It ends with a notion of a conclusion. Then we get into the FDR, where a seasonal brew enters the ring.

192: Chimp in a Frickle

The game is afoot as Jeremy looks forward to Sherlockian antics. Michael brags/states the obvious about stouts, while minibragging about pub trivia. Jeremy had his own pub trivia close call, but at least had an excellent brew to soften the defeat. Then we talk about being trapped with an animal in a zoo enclosure. Would you go with a chimp or a lion? Finally, with crackima open a brew and attain balance by enjoying all the triants an IPA can offer.
