1068 Pubcast

In this special holiday edition of the 1068 Pubcast, the Pubcasters switch things up and share their most prized possessions. It's a true Christmas miracle.

We start off with the world premier of Freedom's Whiskey Corner where we taste the American classic that is Woodford Reserve.

Then, the world premier of Corallus's Pub Trivials! Lube up... your brain will thank you.

Pubcasters: Corallus, Freedom, Milliardo.

In this, the first ever IN-PERSON episode, the 1068 Pubcasters torture themselves with sour beer while revisiting all the fun had during a vacation weekend. The beers we try are:

Skull'Ole, by Three Floyds;

Confidence Man, by Four Fathers;

Changeling, by Boulevard;

Rodenbach Classic, by Brouwerij Rodenbach;

Nice Melons, by Rivertown;

Sliderule, by Urban Artifact;

Tart 'N Juicy, by Epic Brewing.

Then, the first ever DOUBLE whisky segment. We try a surprise whisky from Corallus, and then a surprise whisky from Milliardo.

As a general warning: We are NOT too classy to be gassy. A fact which is made known within the first 10 seconds. Sorry not sorry.

Pubcasters: Corallus, Freedom, Milliardo.

In this episode, the 1068 Pubcasters put themselves in timeout in Corallus's Whisky Corner. We try the Balvenie 12-year doublewood. Balvenie. Ball-VIN-eeee.

Then, we cuddle up for Freedom's Pub Trivials. This one peeks behind the curtain to the good ol' days at 1068.

... and Ireland, and Jamaica, and India, and Scotland, and Australia, and... oh geez... definitely Mexico again....

On this episode, the 1068 Pubcasters blind taste test Mexican beers in the most culturally insensitive way possible. Save your hate mail! We are aware that these are NOT the finest beers coming from Mexico. But let's be honest... if someone says "Mexican beer," these are the beers they mean.

Then, the 1068 Pubcasters share the first full-length 1068 Pubcast song. Again, we are sorry.

We conclude with a long overdue Mad Lib the News segment. You're going to want to see the links in the show notes to see the pictures for this one!

On this episode, the 1068 Pubcasters recline their chairs and try Redbreast. The whisky. Don't make this weird. They also tackle three of life's greatest questions in an all new batch of Pub Trivials. They then strap in for another Milliardo's Big Surprise. And the finish is smooth and deep with a Raise a Glass, Pour a Glass, Throw a Glass.

In the After Hours format, the 1068 Pub stress tests the "talk about shit we find entertaining" claim. It's also a great way to keep the mics rolling when full attendance isn't possible.

In this After Hours, Earnshaw and Milliardo reminisce over the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring movie from 2001. After 16 years, does Peter Jackson's blockbuster still hold up?

In this special edition episode, Freedom and Milliardo praise Guinness and speak slightly more seriously about Donald Trump. Very slightly.

*Milliardo stated that Trump does not recognize evolution as true, but this may be misleading. It appears that the GOP candidates, including Trump, all walked the fence or refused to comment on this issue, to varying degrees.

On this episode, the 1068 Pubcasters do a blind taste test of the Fat Tire & Friends Collabeeration pack. Meanwhile, the pub gets an official stenographer, Milliardo shares his throbbing surprise, and Corallus gives Fat Tire a second chance.
