A Beer with Atlas

This one is a fun one! Especially if you are familiar with the legendary cookie company from St. Louis, Dad's Cookie Co. Listen as Brian and Rich talk about the history of Dad's Cookie Co. as well as the history of smoked beers.nbsp;

Seward is a small town in Nebraska with a population of somewhere just under 10,000 people. Every year, they throw a Fourth of July Festival and it has grown so big, that the town was Federally recognized as The Fourth of July City. The festival is SO BIG, that over 45,000 people attend each year. nbsp; But it's October, who cares??? nbsp; Well, according to TripAdvisor, when it's not The Fourth of July, Bottle Rocket Brewing is the number 1 thing to do while in Seward, NE. So, to close out our 2022 Oktoberfest series, we're drinking their version of the well-known style, Oktoberfest.

Week 2 of this year's Oktoberfest episodes takes us to Empyrean Brewing Company in Lincoln, Nebraska. It's there that they brew Aries Marzen, an Oktoberfest that is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and like it says on the bottle, conceived under the fiery sign of the ram then cellared all season for Oktoberfest celebration. Then, Brian has some cool stuff about his childhood memories of the brewery and what it has become today.nbsp; Sit back, relax, and crack one open this Oktoberfest season with us!nbsp;

Cheers to our first episode of Oktoberfest this year! 🍻 nbsp; Yupp, you read that right, OKTOBERFEST IS BACK and we're kicking off the first episode of this 3 part series with Minnesota's finest, Surly Brewing Company.

Bhramari??? Bees??? From Where??? nbsp; All questions aside, we like to relax with a nice and cold IPA (or any craft beer) after TravCon. Our IPAs of choice this year comes straight from Asheville, NC and they're brewed by Bhramari Brewing Company. nbsp; Now, back to the questions above. Listen, and find out! 🍻 nbsp; nbsp;

Listen to the new song Stars on the Ceiling by Stealing Oceans Feat. Scott Avett of The Avett Brothers as we talk to Brian Thompson, the mastermind behind Stealing Oceans. nbsp; He is also one of the masterminds behind brewing this blueberry beer with Shipyard Brewing Company that is based on a beer study by a German scientist about how music can change the composition of the beer as well as enhance the taste of the beer while listening to certain music. We and Total Wine amp; More loved the concept, so we drank it and Total Wines is selling it in all 250 stores. nbsp; Shout out to Brian from #StealingOceans and his team for providing the beer, the music, and all of the good times.

Help! How do you pronounce Haandbryggeriet? Unlike the beer, that is not a Dad Joke.nbsp; Listen to this week's episode of A Beer with Atlas, while the guys struggle to pronounce Quentin tarantino, but still get through their research on the brewery AND a Quentin Tarantino movie.nbsp; - No spoilers on which one though... You gotta listen to find out! ;Pnbsp;

Here is another beer representing Dallas, TX, and our local Atlas office in the area. Blue Raspberry Sucker Punch, a fruited sour brewed by 3 Nations Brewing Company, is brewed SO BLUE, that just the visual can sucker punch you into next week! Listen to this week's episode, as we dodge punches with every drink, and talk about Robert Van Winkle A.K.A Vanilla Ice who happened to grow up not too far from this brewery.

This Washington D.C. solar-powered beer comes to us from our favorite namesake, Atlas Brew Works. Yes, we know, WE HAVE done a beer from this brewery before, but this time, we scored a Damn good IPA... No, really... the beer is called Damn Good IPA, and boy does it live up to its name.nbsp; 2 Fun Facts: 1. This beer was only sold to their beer members. 2. None of us beer gurus at Atlas MedStaff are members. So how did we get this beer? Listen and find out!nbsp;

Wanna hear Brian drink a beer and recite a poem by William Butler Yeats? - hehe YEETS This Hazy IPA came to us from the Boston, MA / Portland, ME meet and greet that we had a while back. The super funny thing about it is that this beer is actually from Portland, OR. They just distribute their beer to Massachusetts and one of our recruiters *Cough* Braden Boex *Cough Cough* grabbed it on accident thinking it was locally brewed in Maine. But as Rich says, I will drink any beer you put in front of me, that's exactly what happens on this episode of A Beer with Atlas.
