210: White Label Beer

Back from the Anniversary Ep, we get back into our routine format. Michael "brags" about having the Budweiser Copper Lager, prompting Jeremy's memories of boilermakers. Jeremy has a salty marathon beer, for which we ponder about the marketing. Next, born to hand quiz baby, as we take a stab at a rando internet quiz. Next we introduce a new feature for the next few episodes, the Spring Sampler Series, where we try brews from a sampler pack from one brewery.

Beer in this episode: Left Hand Colorful Colorado

Cheers!

209: LeBron Orson LeBron Ogden

Jeremy awakens from a dream, tells us about it, then brags about... good green beer? Cobra Verde strikes back. Michael had something called DAF that was DAF. Jeremy rescinds his previous statements on Hazy IPAs. Michael runs down some 4th Anniversary Stats which leads into more stats from the Brewer's Association. No trivia this week, but what is that noise? For the FDR, we conclude a "high-cost" multi-year experiment, though what price can you put on science? A last minutes brews news finishes off the show.

208: Lime Time

It's back! (The Cryptkeeper). We cruise through some children's trivia questions then getting into some adult questions. "Adult" in the strictest sense of the term. Diving through the questions causes Jeremy to remember Buckfast. Then we get into the FDR, where we invoke pagan rituals to bring on summer.

Beer in this episode: Uinta Lime Pilsner

Cheers!

207: APMPod and the Dweebs

After a botched new intro attempt, we talk about Rude Dog for a bit. We then try our hand at a Baby Boomer Trivial Pursuit card, not faring so well. Don't guess Slim Pickens, Bud Melman, Donnie Osmond, or Elvira for any of the answers. We get into the FDR, taking a time out to mention the racism allegations against Founders before getting into the beer itself. We rate only after talking about the status of Casper and the actor who portrayed IRL him.

Beer in this episode: Founders Trigo

206: Crapple

Jeremy makes some prospective Final Four predictions and then some retroactive prospective Oscar predictions. Hear Jeremy slam the Best Picture winner before it won. We go  for some "good vengeance" on trivia, fairing better than we have in the past. Finally, we continue the Springtime Widow Watch Series with another witbier.

Beer in this episode: Good City Leo

Cheers!

205: Yeast Tooth

Michael brings back beer brags because he had two notable barrel-aged brews from Wisconsin Brewing Company. Jeremy is sick of hazy IPAs, but will brut IPAs make up for that? We try our hand at pop culture trivia to break our slump, with poor results. Can you fair better? Then we attempt to force the seasons to change by having something a little more springy. Gajib, we coming for you!

Beer in this episode: Dogfish Head Namaste White

Cheers!

204: Spiked Water: Filtered Malt Liquor

We open up by discussing hard seltzer waters/hard still water, speculating on how they are made. This leads into discussing Bacardi Silver and wine coolers. Ah, good old malternatives. We move onto trivia where our performance is only marginally better than last week, but at least we learned more about turn of the 20th century injustices. Finally, for the FDR, the beer takes a sour turn.

Beer in this episode: Exile Bohemian Pomegranate
