Brews, Booze, & Reviews

The BBR crew took a much needed weekend off, but not to worry, we do have an episode tucked away just for such an emergency! Recorded June 14th, we go over an astounding 9 brews total. With our guest Blake back on, there's sure to be an argument or three about how the following beers taste:

From Icewind we have the Mapleton Margarita Lime Gose, the Sundog Lager, and the Wynona Porter. From 903 brewing in Texas we have sample their Kilt Switch Scotch Wee Heavy and their Sherman Bock German Bock. We also sample and review a collab between Blackstack Brewing and Falling Knife Brewing called Chop Chop. Then Dorothy's new World Lager from Toppling Goliath, followed by Schell's Shift Happens DDH Lager, and Thesis Beer Project's Thesis Pieces: After Dark Imperial Peanut Butter Porter.

While we here at BBR didn't debate whether these beer-coctions are called Radlers or Shandies,  we DID debate on which of these brews were the best on this day! While a traditional half-and-half mix of a good lighter-tasting beer and a real lemonade (or lemon-lime soda) sounds like an easy thing to try yourself at home, these fantastic breweries have given great thought and research into their OWN recipes. We sampled and reviewed Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, Jack Pine's Lemon Shandy Cream Ale, Fargo Brewing's Kenny's Lemonade Radler, Revelation Ale Work's Rev RADler, and Half Brother's Half Twisted Radler.

Welcome to another highly educational edition of BBR! In this episode we invited Grant Wigen, formerly of Kilstone Brewing, to ponder over all things beer, like the argument that there are only really two basic types of beer: Ales and Lagers. What are these two types of beers, and how do they differentiate? We sample and review Leinenkugel's Original, Red Stripe Lager, Coors Banquet, Fargo Brewing Company's The Hoff Kolsch, Junkyard's Grandpa Bill's Pils, Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale, and Guinness's Blonde Ale.

During the holiday weekend, we here at BBR wanted to put this non-monetary bonus episode out there for our listeners who are drinking responsibly and being safe while enjoying some fireworks or are on the lake. Tom from WellBeing Brewing shipped us a care package we purchased from their website consisting of four NA beers, and two sparkling craft waters. We sample and review their Victory Wheat sports brew, Heavenly Body Golden Wheat, Hellraiser Dark Amber, Intentional IPA, followed by their CBD sparkling cousins the YuzuBloom and MelonGrass sparkling waters. Today's show is the first time a couple of us have tried CBD waters, and they didn't disappoint!

For our second year in a row we tackle scotches on Father's Day like the champs we are!

We sample Deanston 12 year, Tomatin Limited Edition 15 year in Moscatel casks, Oban 14 year, the Game of Thrones House Baratheon inspired Royal Lochnagar 12 year. and the Glenmorangie Alta Private Edition No. 10. Our returning special guest Chris Larson helps our own Chris Kjelshus as he takes over and teaches the rest of us even MORE interesting facts about this fantastic type of Scotch.

The late great Dr. Suess once said, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose" in a book called 'Oh, the places you'll go'. Our friend and colleague Jayde is moving (although only an hour away), and so we wanted to make sure that we got her to do her very own episode beforehand. She chose to do a WIYM show, with the goal of everyone bringing something they are thoroughly enjoying at the time, or were VERY curious about tasting. We also invited one of our favorite beer tasters Blake back to have some fun, This podcast opens up with Big Ern's rum-blended fruit slushy drink, then we dig into sampling Golden Road's Champango, B.Nektar's Zombie Killer Cider, Drastic Measure's Hittin Licks Smoothie Sour, Disgruntled Brewing's Dessert First Sour Ale,  Stacked Deck Brewing's Jazz Cabbage NEIPA, and ending with Blackstack Brewing's Little Spoon Cereal Milk Stout.

We once again have the pleasure of being invited to another brewery, and this one is BRAND NEW! Opening for offsale for the first time about a week before we invade their space, John and Sean open their doors to us so we can sit down, find out a bit more about who they are, and sample and discuss some of the beers they have on tap! We chat about the Honey Blonde Bombshell Blonde Ale, the Session One Amber Ale, the Squeeze Play Wheat IPA, the Indies 4 Brown Ale, and their Sugarfoot Jr. Vanilla Oatmeal Stout. Come have some laughs as we make fun of ourselves, and happily lap up these brews!

How do you say Torulaspora Delbrueckii? We have NO IDEA, but it's a yeast that gives unique flavors to Hefeweissens, which is what we are sampling today! Ya know, in the springtime, you want a refreshing, lighter beer to go with the budding of flowers and grass growing, don't ya? What better example of that than the old stanby-by Hefes? In this super-sized episode we invite an old regular guest of ours, Don, back to the Dungeon for our first episode back since the pandemic took over our lives. We have a good time drinking Icewind's Weissen Shine, Weihenstephaner's Hefe Weissbier, Paulaner's Hefe-Weizen, Utepils' Ewald the Golden, Great Lakes Brewing's Lemon Hefeweizen, and Fargo Brewing Company's Life's a Peach. Join us in raising our glasses to a good time!

Welcome once again to another Zoom episode of Brews, Booze, & Reviews! Being stuck in one place to often these days has us craving some vacation time, and with vacation time, comes vacation beers! We put together a short list of some of the more widely accessible import beers and pretended we were in a fascinating new place (not really, we stared at screens the whole time). This episode contains a beer from Belgium (Leffe Blonde Abbey Ale), a beer from Germany (Hofbrau's Maibock), one from Mexico (Modelo Negra), and on from the UK (Robinson's Trooper). 

Come escape with us as we discuss aromas, tasting notes, and have some laughs doing it!

You ever go into the liquor store and see those little cans of mixed drinks and thought to yourself, "Are these even any good?"  Well do we have a surprise for you today! We picked up four different flavors at our favorite liquor store, and we're here to tell you what WE think. In this episode we sample the Mojito and Moscow Mule from Plain Spoke Cocktails, and the Chai White Russian and Bourbon Old Fashioned from Dashfire Bitters. How do the takes on each of these cocktails hold up under scrutiny of not only tasting like the drink they represent, but are they better than one poured by your average bartender? Stay tuned to find out!
