Beer Blues and BS

The Triple B crew is back for their final episode of the year, and it’s a holiday spectacular! Tune in to hear the legendary Mark Kidder get unexpectedly summoned by the magic words, Howard Blues deliver an uncharacteristically deep intro, and a full round of What's On Tap featuring everything from sugar-free vodka mixes and "blue wine" to a homemade whiskey sour.

We hit a six terabyte storage milestone, unveil the new "TripleB out of context" feature, and dive into a fiery session of Howard's Hot Takes: Christmas Edition. Find out which holiday classics the team thinks are overrated, which songs deserve more airplay, and the one holiday food item that should be banned from your dinner table forever. Plus, JS provides real-time sewing education while inventorying the hilarious contents of a child's ripped backpack!

Don't miss the final word on: The infamous "parking ticket" game, the perils of North Dakota weather, and a deep-dive into Christmas traditions (and the decorations we absolutely refuse to put up).

🚨 Welcome to Episode 243! 🚨

The crew is back in action and ready for a chaotic round of drinks and shocking stories!

In "What's On Tap," Doc praises an Imperial Red Raspberry Cider that hits all the right notes. Mark Kidder risks his palate on a Strawberry Double Bock and has a surprisingly positive reaction, while JS declares his current drink one of the best beers ever made. Finally, Howard struggles through a mystery Monster-branded drink from JS that he rates very low, proving JS's long-term payback is complete!

But the real headlines are the stories and updates:

Plus, we talk about the excitement of Mark Kidder buying new Triple B merch, JS's successful garage cleanup, and we challenge listeners to find the Ark of the Covenant hidden in a recent episode thumbnail!

Episode 242 is here, and the debates are as spirited as the drinks!

The episode kicks off with accusations flying as Howard Blues accuses Mark Kidder of cheating on the Star Trek vs. Star Wars poll! Mark Kidder dismisses the idea, demanding they stop talking about political-style interference.

In "What's on Tap," we taste a range of beverages: JS unveils a special "Villain" Old-Fashioned using a clearance liquor he scored. Mark Kidder risks a Tequila Paloma that gives him "chills up my spine." And Howard Blues bravely does a blind taste test of a mystery, year-old gift wrapped by JS, with hilarious results!

Plus, we cover:

Join us for the full discussion, and tune in next week for the story of the time Howard was stabbed with a sword!

Episode 241 is pure chaos as we dive deep into the mysteries of the garage and the highly anticipated "Clear the Snow Simulator"!

With Howard down sick, the crew takes over, starting with JS's spontaneous "random stuff I found in my garage" segment. A segment featuring everything from a non-functional Nerf chain gun to a leaking tractor fuel rod. Should JS start his own show called "JS's Garage of Wonders!"

In "What's on Tap," JS kicks things off with a highly-rated Yingling Black and Tan, while Doc bravely samples a strong Imperial Magic Berry Cider, but its confusing flavor might tank its rating.

But the main event? The intense debate over the "Clear the Snow Simulator" video game! We break down the gameplay, the co-op features, and why one of our co-hosts is now obligated to review the game for a friend. The discussion even pivots to real-life snow plowing with some hilariously suggestive analogies!

Plus, Doc shares some major canceled travel plans, JS talks about their foray into blacksmithing, and we send our collective condolences to our great friend, The Midnight Rocker.

Howard's sick, JS is battling a "pine cone-flavored" IPA, and the garage is packed with junk! Welcome to Episode 240, where the chaos is strong and the drinks are... debatable.

The absolute must-see moment of the episode is JS's impromptu "rage-fueled" tour of his massive, cluttered garage. What's in there? Everything from old water coolers and car seats to scrap metal and a porta-potty—a display so bizarre that Mark Kidder debates whether he is watching “Storage Wars” or "Hoarders!"

But the tasting segment leads to an unthinkable reaction. After struggling with an awful local IPA that JS claims tastes like a "pine cone," he decides he can't take another sip. Tune in to see the shocking, unprecedented way he chooses to end his relationship with one of the worst beers ever featured on the show! Was it the worst beer we've ever had on the show?

Plus, we dive into two unbelievable news stories:

We wrap up with some much-needed "Dad Jokes of the Week" and serious advice on financial health and pursuing personal passions.

In Episode 237, we're tasting a homebrew clone, debating conspiracy theories, and diving into the controversial world of craft beer marketing!

The "What's on Tap" segment features a special experiment: LCL Geek's homebrewed "Barnfind" farmhouse ale—a clone of the highly-regarded New Glarus Spotted Cow! We compare the clone to the original to see if LCL Geek nailed the flavor profile. Plus, Doc sips a smooth White Peach Cider, while Rudeboy Kyle embraces the low-budget life with a "shutdown series" classic: Natural Ice.

But the flavor journey doesn't stop there! Howard Blues brings back Pan's Mushroom Jerky, this time in Zesty Thai, sparking a heated—and hilarious—debate with Doc over the authenticity of its "organic Thai seasoning" and the use of cayenne pepper.

Finally, we sink our teeth into a New York Times critique that calls for craft beer to ditch the wacky labels and the IPA "arms race." Does a silly name like "Purple Monkey Dishwasher" sell beer, or is it killing the industry? The crew is split!

We're live from the heart of downtown Bismarck for Episode 236! Mark Kidder is enjoying an Old Fashioned and a hockey win, while the rest of the crew dives into a fresh round of diverse drinks, all courtesy of their friend, Pat!

In the "What's on Tap" segment, LCL Geek samples a delicious S'mores Stout that's perfect for a campfire. Meanwhile, Howard Blues risks his taste buds with an El Chavo Mango Habanero Hard Cider that brings both sweetness and surprising heat! Doc even braves a Hazy IPA and rates it a pitiful 1.5, while Rudeboy Kyle goes economical with a simple Mexican lager. And That is only round 1!

But the party doesn't stop there! We jump into a Magic: The Gathering update on controversial SpongeBob and TMNT sets and address the rumors that Wizards of the Coast is using AI-generated art on their cards. Plus, we've got a fresh batch of hilariously bad Dad Jokes, discuss why Mark Kidder hates all things apple-flavored, and unpack the importance of a mini-beer fridge for optimal podcasting.

Finally, we close out by revealing the true, surprisingly wholesome origin of the "Blues" in the "Beer Blues and BS" title!

This week, we're tasting everything from a smooth Hairy Man Whiskey to a terrible Ninkasi Gold Lager that Doc rates poorly. And speaking of bad taste, Mark Kidder is forced to review an Apple Imperial Hard Cider, reinforcing his absolute hatred for all things apple and cherry flavored.

Beyond the drinks, we dive into:
