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?
