On this fine, phallically-named Last Call show after recording Rieslings, good ol' "Guest #2" Ben hangs on with us to chat about another mixed pack, a couple of pickle-type beers, and an IPA. In the mixed pack from Cigar City we sample and review Florida Cracker belgian white ale, Guayabera citra pale ale, Jai Alai India pale ale, and Florida Man  DIPA. Our pickle beer selection included Boulevard's Chill Vibes sour ale with cucumber, and Tin Whiskers' Deep Space Brine kolsch. Lastly, we check out Inbound's Fruit of the Loop citrus IPA.

Besides being serenaded in the background by musicians, and the wind being inconveniently noisy, the BBR crew had quite the blast hanging out at the socially distant event of the summer for the F/M region! Not only did we see lots of animals (and even take selfies with a camel), but we BECAME animals hunting down some tasty brews here at the Red River Zoo. We got to chat with representatives about the following beers: Lupulin Brweing and their CPB and Fashion Mullet, Dogfish Head and their Slightly Mighty IPA, Seaquench Ale, and 60 minute IPA (we also got news about new flavors from Angry Orchard coming out in 2021, and Sam Adams and DFH are making an N/A brew), Summit's Triumphant Session IPA, Slugfest IPA, and their Oktoberfest, and finally with Empyrean sampling their Dark Side vanilla porter, Long Route peanut butter porter, Pitched Blue Black and Blueberry Ale, and their Aries Marzen. Wild times were had, and we can't wait for you all to hear it!

Do YOU think you know the difference between Crown Royal, Jameson, Jim Beam, Black Velvet, Jack Daniels, and Wild Turkey? Well hop on the struggle bus with us as we welcome special guests Don and Torry back to the podcast to see if anyone can guess correctly on which whiskey is which. There are surprises galore on this show as a couple of our  misconceptions shine through, and opinions warp by the end of this adventure!

Welcome once again to another fridge clearing episode of BBR! This is our fourth Nox's Notables, which Nox uses to showcase some of the more review-worthy beers recently released, most of which are from the FM area. In this show, we sample and review a collab set of brews that can cuvee with each other called Mutually Inclusive. Pryes Brewing did one, and Drekker Brewing did the other, and it was quite the experience! We also check out Lindeman's Cuvee Rene Oude Kriek Lambic Ale, Flying Ember's Stick Figure hard kombucha, Two Chicks Citrus Margarita Sparkling Tequila and Citrus Cocktail, Apostelbrau's Roggen Bier, the Cloverfield American Wheat Ale with Honey and the Down for Mimos Blonde Ale with Orange from DrumConRath Brewing, and three additional brews from Drekker: their Long Haired Freaky People DIPA, Strawberry Cheesecake Secret Handshake Milkshake IPA, and Bumbleberry Pie Slang Du Jour Sour A La Mode. Believe it or not, one of these beers gets our highest ever rating, a damn near perfect 6! Tune in to find out which one it is!

What's a better wine to enjoy in the hot summer months than a nicely chilled glass of white? And while Chardonnay is arguably the most popular of the white wines, today we delve into the sweet and/or dry world of Rieslings! We here at BBR most definitely were looking for an amusing adventure, so we collected our thoughts, set our eyes towards a gathering of grapes, and with a hearty twist of the bottle cap, we sample and review Boundary Break's 'OLN Ovid Line North' Medium Dry Riesling, Elk Cove's 2017 Willamette Valley Estate Riesling, the 2018 KungFu Girl from Charles Smith Wines, RELAX's RIesling, Nik Weis's St Urbans Hof Estate Riesling Old Vines,  and two from Chateau Ste Michelle: their 2018 Columbia Valley Dry riesling, and their 2017 Harvest Select Sweet Riesling.

We here at BBR absolutely love craft beer, and with that comes the love of the craft beer scene! Since we are based primarily out of the Fargo-Moorhead area in ND & MN, we have a blast supporting our friends and breweries as much as we can, so in this show we get back to our roots, and enjoy eight brews made right here in the metro region!

During this episode we sample and review Swing Barrel's three flavors of their Short Shorts Hard Seltzer, then hit up Drekker with their collab with Brewing Projekt called Flow Futuristic, followed by DrumConRath's Bog Road Special Gose Strawberry Lemonade Sour Ale and Ligh-Pa New England Style session IPA. We end the podcast with two from Junkyard: Mama's Trip to Hawaii Tropical Punch Style Sour Ale and Tangerine from their famous Super Slurp Fruited Sour with Lactose and Vanilla line. Such tasty beers!

We here at BBR like to think of ourselves as having international tastes with otherworldly palettes. No? Perhaps this episode on Japanese sakes will change your mind! As is our tradition when we do our first show on a certain category of alcohol, we like to do an educational portion that covers some FAQ's, history, and what the true definition of that liquid is. Sometimes Nox can run a little long on this part, but he keeps it a little more brief in his quest for knowledge of this fermented brew. In this episode we taste and discuss Miyashita Sake Brewery's "Sunshine Country", Tentaka's Hawk On The Heavens, Kitsukura Brewery's Honjozo Taru Sake, Bushido's sake in a can, and Umenoyado Brewery's Ty Ku Junmai Ginjo. Crank up The Vapors and let's get this Nomikai started!

Well neighbors, we had to tick this one off our list, so today we bring you RUMS. The most confusing and unregulated of the major distilled spirits, it was a wonder doing research to find the answers to some of the most common questions we could come up with. How does this booze differ from others, how is it made, and what are all the different kinds and regions? These and other topics are debated in the sugarcane-filled world of rums. In this episode we sample and review Rhum J.M., El Dorado 12 Year, Appleton Estate 8 year and 12 year, Kirk & Sweeny 23 year, and Plantation XO.

The Dungeon erupts into quite a few heated discussions about the topic of today's show. Big Ern and Nox are coffee drinkers, so BBR did an episode dedicated to this specific adjunct of beer. But wait, there are 4* different styles involved with the 6 beers we sample and discuss today. Those brews are Beaver Island's Muggsy's Coffee Lager, Deschutes Luna Jo Cold Brew Coffee Lager, Burning Brothers Roasted Coffee Ale, Oskar Blues Death By Affogato Porter, Founders 2020 KBS, and Pabst Blue Ribbon Hard Coffee. Will our returning guest and host of Ben's Jazz Attic, Ben Revier, be the peaceful moderator in this chuckled-filled episode? Tune in to find out!
