232: I Am a Jelly Donut

Jeremy does a Victory Dance and sings the praises of Single Speed Brewing. Michael has an ice cream make brag instead of a beer brag. Jeremy then masterfully engages with a Simpsons quiz related to the country of origin for our beer this week. This evolves into big studio talk. Next we get into the FDR, where the APM Pod World Tour continues through Europe. Will the land of pure beer save us from the "mehs" of FDRs past?

231: Maximum Foamerdrive

Breaking Action News! There is a beer brags desk. I repeat, there is a beer brags desk. Jeremy's been lugging it all over the globe to supply us with a beer brag. But first, trivia. Jeremy has a question that seemingly nobody that he knows has gotten 100% correct. Can you? We talk sports books before Michael proposes an experiment to get to the bottom of green bottled beers. Jeremy opines on sloshy over-foamed mugs. Then we get into the FDR, where after a history lesson, we split some hairs and pick some nits to parse a so-called French beer.

230: Æbleskiver Mystery

In the much awaited sequel to Rullepølse Analogy, Jeremy explains his consumption of marshmallow flavored energy drink and ponders his caffeinated future. Then he brags about Big Eddy and some other schweppe IPAs. Michael has found the pinnacle of summer beers. The plane lands in Denmark (that bit is still going) so Jeremy shares some info on Danish delights and beard growing contests. We get into the FDR, which is a bit of a throwback as we go into the country, brewery, and beer a little more than usual, since it is our first foray into the area. Facts abound, will this European pale lager raise or furrow the brows of these malty drinking night drinkers?

229: Land of the Setting Sun

We botch the world tour again. We kick it off with some seltzer... brags? And speculate on the future of the beverage, noting some new players in the field, leading to the Akira-like growth of the marketplace. Jeremy almost falls for a 17% ABV hoax. We then get back to beer with the FDR, but is it good enough to save us from seltzer talk? What is happening to the world?

228: Digression #5

Beer brags. After a live podcast show, Jerome has a brew that combines multiple styles and... wine grapes? Michael has another yella beer, this time a kolsch. Next, we embark on our new series, The American Pale Males World Tour. Ditching the roads of Iowa, we take flight, trying major beer brands from around the globe... or at least seemingly from around the globe. First up is Japan. Michael starts the festivities with the Big in Japan Quiz. Despite sumos, earthquakes, and movies, the digressions start. For example, did you know that Jeremy worked at ShopKo? They continue into the FDR, where a "first press" beer tries to impress.

227: The Great Fly Debate

A follow-up episode to Jeremy's bachelor party, Michael and Jeremy regale listeners with tales of beer brags, party buses, and breweries - specifically Thew, Quarter Barrel, Lion Bridge, and Big Grove. Michael dumps on an energy drink as it impaired him playing The Resistance. Boozy cherries and zipper flies enter the mix. We finally move on to the FDR. Within, Jeremy attempts to invent a new unit of measurement (instead of simply converting ounces into milliliters), we discuss Malort, and remember Blue Razz? It's back, in Pog form. Oh, and we also have the largest disparity in beer ratings of all time.

226: Gimme That Wheat!

Jeremy has a grisette beer. Do you know what that is? I did not. Michael's Diet Starts Tomorrow, leading to Karben4 chat. We then talk about a revealing article written by Josh Noel on hard seltzers, which leads to griping. Then we get into the FDR, where a hefeweizen flexes its unexpected muscles.
