For this episode of Brewstilled, we’re entering the final timeline for the Parallel Gridiron. In this last timeline in our exploration, we’re visiting an alternate NFL reality in where Don Shula crafted the Miami Dolphins into an everlasting dynasty. It’s an alternate NFL world that’s unique, but also plausible given Don Shula’s record with the Miami Dolphins. Of all the dynasties in the Parallel Gridiron, the one created by Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins challenges the realms of time and space. I’ll discuss this wild timeline with a Hazy IPA from Masthead Brewing as the beer pairing.

For this episode of Brewstilled, I’ll be recapping episode 4 of Smoke from Apple TV. For a crime drama that doesn’t have a mystery, it gives a deep dive into the human nature and its dark side. This episode dove deeper into the lives of Dave, Michelle and Freddy. We saw more of their flaws as the arson case continues to get more desperate. I also have a theory on how this series may play and even end based on my observations so far. A Dark Czech Style Lager is on tap for the beer pairing.

In this episode of Brewstilled we’re entering week 4 of exploring the Parallel Gridiron, the keeper of alternate NFL realities. For this edition, we’re exploring a world in where Tom Brady teams up with Andy Reid in Kansas City. This timeline was once somewhat possible as Tom Brady could have been traded to Kansas City. If that occurred, Andy Reid would have likely followed a couple of seasons later. Yet, in Parallel Gridiron, this world does exist and we’re going to explore it to see just what might have been possible. A Hazy IPA from Kros Strain Brewing is on tap for the beer pairing.

For a detective show that’s different from others we’re not seeing a crime mystery. Instead, we’re seeing a mystery involving human behavior. For the theme of episode 3 of Smoke from Apple TV, the theme was dead ends. I’ll recap the episode here on Brewstilled with a Hazy IPA from Great Notion Brewing as the beer pairing.

In this episode of Brewstilled I’ll be recapping Apple TV’s Smoke episodes 1&2. Apple TV’s Smoke is a complex crime drama in where a troubled Detective and a mysterious Arson Investigator work together to solve a complex arson mystery.

Apple TV’s Smoke gives us not only an excellent crime drama, but a showcase of human behavior. I’ll be discussing episodes 1&2 along with the series going forward.
