The Beer Mistress, The Professor and Cousin Max wax poetic about North Coast’s Brother Thelonious Dark Abbey Ale. We discuss the pros and cons of Pub Crawls and plastic cups, put bacon on the food pyramid and Ian gives himself a new moniker. Send us your suggestions for a barrel aged beer or barley wine for us to feature in a future podcast.

The Dashing Rogue dashes from zombies, learns how to use firearms and talks about all things Epic. Well... some things Epic Brewing. The return of Halloween, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and reverse trick or treating are all mentioned along with some thoughts for future beer podcasts. Weyerbacher, Southern Tier, we’re looking at you. And anyone for a gluten free experiment?

This week see what happens when Ian isn’t around. The Beer Mistress, Jasen and Cousin Max all go to a Brew Fest in VA, drink Founder’s Centennial IPA, and discuss their findings. They talk all things intercourse, Twilight and vampires as well as agoraphobic Saturdays. A possible future podcast beer is referenced in the Firestone Walker family and Verlyn plots a Rhubarb beer after hearing Cousin Max’s challenge.

Amazing alliteration as the Dashing Rogue tastes some Dogfish Head and talks Fricken Firkins, Designated Drivers and more Testing Trivia. Join us as we discuss the benefits of being Like a Lord, a brief shout out to The Duke his self, potatoes and lemons, chai and turnips. A heady combination to be sure on this week’s Dogfish Head review.

The Dashing Rogue Does Breakfast…Beers (of course). Join us as we discuss Southern Tier’s Java Stout and North Coast Brewing’s Old Rasputin. New Trivia questions for you, and some questions for you from us! The merits of Pittsburgh and how much Ian loves T-shirts.

Cousin Max is back with Shannon and Ian for a trio of pumpkin beers. Drinking from hand blown Belgian style beer glasses, the three imbibe Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale, Schflay Pumpkin Ale, and Southern Tier’s Pumking. They delve into label art, their first pumpkin beer experiences, and recount a dinner at Pumpkin in Philadelphia.

Over at the Dashing Rogue we enjoy a good excuse to crack open a beer, just like everyone else. This week we talk about Germany's Oktoberfest just before one of our own heads over to experience it first hand. Join us as we discuss the finer point of pronouncing Ommegang, while drinking their Scythe and Sickle, talk about WOW and gamer girls, and we also feature the return of trivia!

The Dashing Rogue hosts a Beer Pairing BBQ to celebrate the end of summer. The team recounts the event while drinking Adriaen Brouwer Dark Golden Ale, discusses their logic behind the pairings, and offers entertaining ideas for your next themed dinner. Oh yeah, zombies and steampunk make a guest appearance...

Shannon, Ian, and guest host Cousin Max talk about their charming field trip to Stoudt's Brewery in Adamstown, PA where beer, cheese, and antiques are the name of the game.

The Dashing Rogue team got a brew lesson! Listen in as Shannon, Ian, and Jasen marvel at the process of whole grain brewing in the comfort of your own home. Abita Abbey Ale is enjoyed while they recount the amazing palate of a brewer, the taste of raw grain, and variation of hops flavors. Listener question: What pairs with Chinese food?
