A Beer with Atlas

WARNING! This episode is explicit. If you know what a Merkin is, you know why!nbsp; Now that the warning is out of the way, we just want to express how much, if you're a listener of the show, you don't want to miss this week's episode! This is Rich and Dolan's first vertical, and Brian hits us with some super cool knowledge about the band Velvet Underground. OH! - AND we learn about Merkins.

HUGE shoutout to Co-Founders, Sean Boisson and Matthew Rohrs, of Bella Snow for sending us this week's Soft Ales! What's a Soft Ale? From their Website: A Soft Ale is a low-alcohol, low-calorie beer. Brewed for those choosing to take a walk on the lighter side, but still want a full bodied beer. It's a new style of beer at just 2.4% ABV. It's like a session ale's session. Listen and learn more about Bella Snow!

We have been searching for a North Dakota beer to feature on the show for quite some time. Thanks to our Brand Content Editor, Gary Darling, we were able to get, drink, and enjoy Fargo Brewing Company's Wood Chipper IPA. Take a listen to this week's episode to find out if Atlas MedStaff's Beer trio enjoys this hoppy beer as well as learn about some Fargo Fun Facts As Brian called it. One of those facts being You can't fall asleep with your shoes on. ? - Yes... This is a real thing.

Flight nurse and friend, Aaron Highfill sent us our first New Hampshire beers from Woodstock Inn Brewery. Autumn - Seasonal Ale Mosaic - Pale Ale Pig's Ear - Brown Ale Yes. Pig's Ear. No. It's NOT brewed with Pig Ears... Although... Rich, Brian, and Dolan would probably drink it on the show if you sent it in. 🤣 Weird Beers are not alien to them! Speaking of Aliens... On this episode, Brian tells a crazy-fun and unexplainable alien story that some believe true. 👽🛸👽🛸 Are these beers really Out of this World? Listen and find out!

We're back in Alaska trying the Astro Phuzz Hazy IPA and chasing it with a Double Phuzz! Listen and see what Rich, Brian, and Dolan think about these Hoppy punches brewed by Matanuska Brewing Company. AND OF COURSE, on top of the beer review, Brian will give you a small dive into some fun facts about an oldie cartoon, The Jetsons. The Connection? Astro. Beer, Alaska, Beauty. Why not go there on your next assignment? OR AT LEAST get it down on your bucket list. Sip you next week!

It's Thanksgiving and we can't be more GRATEFUL for this RED. Grateful Red, a red ale from Kenai Brewing Company, is what we're drinking this Thanksgiving. By the looks of the can and the obvious name, we are going to go out on a limb and assume that the head brewers might be Grateful Dead fans or Deadheads as they would say.

From the Can:

This is a truly original collaboration between The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation and participating breweries (1 per state) with all proceeds to benefit children who are battling cancer. The NPCF funds collaborative research in hospitals across the nation to fast trackless toxic, more targeted treatments that are saving many children's lives. So, raise a brew and enjoy. Because every beer helps raise money and hope for these courageous kids.

That's exactly what the Beer crew here at Atlas is doing. Rich dives into how a traveling pediatric nurse led him into starting Atlas MedStaff.

Shout out to Kros Strain for being part of such a great cause! If you want to participate, find the brewery that made the recipe in your state and make the purchase. :) - http://brewingfundsthecure.org/

In honor of our growing Dallas office, Brand Specialist, Dolan Delano, and Recruiter, Braden Boex bring back Deep Ellum's Dallas Blonde Ale from their visit there.

Listen as Rich, Brian, and Dolan drink this flashy Blonde Ale and tell some fun stories about Dolan's trip, talk about the history of Deep Ellum, and maybe surprise you with some other stuff and things and stuff and things.... Just give it a listen ;) Just like this beer, it won't disappoint!
