Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast.  We are not certain how we are already in October, but a chill is in the air and we have a lust for spirits in our hearts.  In our continuing effort to surround ourselves with people much smarter than us, we welcome Ryan Maybee into the studio.  Restauranteur, cocktail artist, modern Whiskey Baron and all around booze industry Renaissance Man, I’m hoping that he also responds well to flattery, because it’s our go-to move during interviews and the cocktails always taste better when they are made with a real smile.  (He’s handsome, too)

Drink 1: Horse Feather (21:00)

Drink 2: Negroni (50:30)

We finish our festivities with Mason with a couple more Madhouse classics as well as a canned wine.... Setttle in.

After Hours

We couldn't have Mason in and not talk beer, specifically Madhouse!  Join us as we banter about days gone by and drink some vintage beers from Madhouse.  Settle in.....

Beer

Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast.  The cool weather has us in the mood for a trip down memory lane, heavy with lacy mists and rich in the barrel deliciousness, followed by some conversations about Iowa wine production and what the future holds for wine in our own backyard.  Tonight's guest is Mason Groben, formerly the head brewer of the much loved Madhouse Brewing Company here in Des Moines, graduate of UC Davis Viticulture and Enology program, current winemaker at Jasper Winery and hopefully someone who doesn't mind a wiener joke here and there....  Settle in.

Wine

We weren't ready to say goodbye to Oktoberfest just yet.  Join us as we continue our banter over a couple more German beers, Asbach (German Brandy) and some Berentzen pear liquor.  Prost!

Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast.  The leaves are changing and Autumn has grabbed us by the hop cones, directing our desires towards that most delightful of seasonal beers; the Oktoberfest.  Malty deliciousness beckons and in our quest to have someone join us for German beer, we of course settled on a guy named Wallace.  Welcome back Jason.  Just remember, you signed the waiver.

Tonight we blind taste four German Marzen style beers against four Iowa Marzens.  Here is the line-up- Tune in to see how we did....

We reminisce about Firestone Walker and jump into a big beer from Untitled Art.
