Beer Mistress Microbrew Review

The Dashing Rogue Team pairs up with a new guest, Ryan Shank to talk about Stone and Oskar Blues. Some beer is talked about, but mostly it devolves into bizarre stories about the truth and myth of the Bermuda Triangle, The Sand Lot and other baseball related items. There is some mention of beer, and the back to back 8.7 percent A.B.V. does wonders for Ryan.

Cousin Max, The Professor and a few studio audience members took a roadtrip down to the DC Beer Fest to see what it was all about. Held at Nationals Stadium and followed up by delicious late night pizza. Hear what everyone has to say as they sip on some Schneider Aventinus and Southern Tier Crème Brulee Stout.

To celebrate the Game of Thrones season 3 premiere, the Beer Mistress, Professor, and Jasen check out one of Ommegang's special Game of Thrones brews! We also discuss some very embarrassing stories so... enjoy!

The Beer Mistress, Jasen, and special guest star Erin try some Ugandan Beer! It does not go well. We try three different beers popular in Uganda - that country you get to by going to Somalia and turning left - while discussing rivers, traffic, and literary pub crawls. Also, the Beer Mistress gives the best advice she can muster for anyone traveling to Africa!

Long time listener Sean Valentine invites the Mistress and Jasen over for a cup of tea. Or rather, Stout. Flying Fish’s Green Tea Imperial Stout is served up (along with dinner, thinks this jealous Rogue) and another local MD beer, Heavy Seas Pegleg Imperial Stout. After some small difficulty opening the oft praised cage and cork beers, we get to hear their insights and Sean prepared some trivia to test this team’s knowledge. How will they do?

This week we got to try one of the hard to find beers, Hopslam. The Mistress went on an epic shopping spree during which she picked up an entire case of these lovely bottles of joy from Bells and since this is Just Jasen’s favorite beer we decided we should probably let him podcast about it. This week Just Jasen also managed to put together the best trivia yet. Tune in to find out who wins and by how much and learn other things too. Finally, how does alcohol affect you? Does it make you happy, sad, tired, angry? Write in and tell us your stories.

This week we explored some new beers from a new favorite of ours; Firestone Walker. The maker of such beers as the heavenly Parabola, Union Jack and Wookey Jack and such conversations as, Who would win? The lion or the bear? This week we try their Pale 31 and the Velvet Merlin as we talk about all sorts of inane stuff, and continue to plan our Game of Thrones dinner party complete with Ommegang GOT beers. Enjoy!

Cousin Max rejoins us as we discuss a new brewing company, new to the podcast at least. Lagunitas brings their hoppy Lagunitas Sucks beer and all the wonderful flavors to accompany it. I think we might be fans. In the following of big hops we talk Victory’s Hop Wallop, does it deliver the Wallop or is the Victory hollow. What’s your favorite non beer beverage? And how do you feel about the 1920s? Listen to find out more and give us your feedback.

The Rogue brought another woman into the mix and here is what happened. Join The Prof, The Beer Mistress and new guest podcaster Jordi as we ask important life questions such as:

Tea or Coffee?
 Cabin in the woods vacation vs Island Vacation. 
What are you Sunday hygenics like? 
Bras. 
Women’s right to vote.
 Why do all weddings happen at once? Of course we also talk about a great beer from Ballast Point which has quickly wormed its way into our steady diet of fantastic beers. It’s an Imperial Red from California, and we think you should try it. Give a listen!

Dashing Rogue goes Dark. We talk Brooklyn Black Chocolate, Schlafly Coffee and the first Imperial Stout created for Catherine the Great. Also don’t miss the triumphant return of our trivia game with newer and better questions, and more exciting answers. While the podcast is happening we have some ideas, and food simmering in the background. A great new menu was planned for some friends in Harrisburg, PA.
