Take a ride on the highway to the danger zone as the Beer and Banter guys deliver some survival tips in this week's episode. Josh and Sass know so much about dangerous situations their middle names are actually Danger… it was a very popular middle name in the early '90s. While discussing various survival situations, the guys have MadTree Brewing's Entropic Theory IPA. In science, entropy refers to disorder, in beer, it refers to a solid IPA.

Pull out your tin foil and don your fashionable, anti-mind controlling headgear as Josh and Sass take another swing at conspiracy theories. The guys tackle six classic conspiracy theories while drinking an appropriate IPA, Rhinegeist's Truth. Take a listen and learn the truth about conspiracy theories ranging from Nazis to the Beatles! Just like a good beer and interesting conspiracy theories, tell your friends about us!

Happy New Year! New Year, same Josh and Sass. Take a listen to this week's episode as the guys discuss the various New Year traditions, resolutions, and updates on themes for our coming year. 2018 is the year of the Dog according to the Chinese New Year so, we would like to introduce Jaxx the Beer and Banter doggo! He liked this beer more than we did, unfortunately. (He isn't really ours and only got a few gulps of beer while we were snapping pictures.)

Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, or Yule, we wish you a very happy holiday! Join Josh and Sass as they discuss the different festivities that surround the winter solstice. We are releasing this a day early so our listeners can capitalize on Christmas travel and learn about all the different celebrations and the background around today's special day. Keeping with the festive spirit, the guys enjoy Funky Jewbelation – a barrel-aged sour from Shmaltz Brewing Company.

A long time ago (Friday) in a recording studio in Sassy's apartment… Have you seen the new Star Wars yet?! Good, then listen to this episode. If you haven't, SPOILER ALERT. Josh and Sass discuss the Star Wars universe, most of it anyway, and break down the new movie, The Last Jedi. Though they weren't drinking blue or green milk, they were enjoying Stone Brewing's Xocoveza. Listen as they review Star Wars and a stellar imperial stout.

Josh and Sass sit down to explore the extraterrestrial with Mill Creek Brewery's best sales rep, at least in our opinion, Sam. Sam is our favorite kind of guest, he brought the beers AND a topic – aliens. Hope to have him on again soon.

Josh and Sass spent some of their Saturday at Against the Grain Brewery talking with two of the co-founders, Andrew and Sam. The guys give an inside look at ATG, their story, and art, with loads of other insights. They shared plenty of ATG's highlight beers but the guys sampled Found Word, Citra Ass Down, and Sho'nuff. Go check them out and, while you're at it, take a listen to this week's fantastic episode.

In recent news, the administration is attempting to dismantle the current legislation surrounding net neutrality. Take a minute to explore this topic with Josh and Sass with plenty of tangents. The guys rate a unicorn of a beer, Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds Brewing. Once you have listened to our episode follow one of these websites to help save net neutrality: BattlefortheNet.com and GoFCCYourself.com.

Thanksgiving is this week and while everyone else has taken the week off, Josh and Sass were busy working on some new episodes. This week we explore the humble beginnings of Thanksgiving, traditions, and personal experiences. The guys enjoy Anchor Brewing's Liberty Ale to pair with the delicious topic. This is also the time to be thankful, just as the Pilgrims were thankful for, ya know, not bein' dead. We would like to take this time to thank our graphic designer and lawyer Sam, our photographer Cora, and our videographer Tyler and, of course, our listeners and friends! Thank you all so much! Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

This week the Beer and Banter guys were on the road in Nashville, TN at the illustrious Tennessee Brew Works. We were joined by Alyssa, one of their incredibly knowledgeable sales reps and a fellow WKU alum, who picked the topic AND the beers – we should have her on the show more often! This week we discuss half a dozen beers straight from their fantastic brewery and food pairings for those beers. Get prepared to get beer smart while Josh and Sass act like their normal foolish selves.
