Brewtal Battle Podcast

Carlin does one more episode before receiving his first batch of Hoarders Society beers. Cracking open a great fruited sour and three complex barrel aged stouts, this episode is a good send off for Carlin’s Reserve Society membership.

Working on whittling down Carlin’s beer stock, this dive into the cellar sees a return to the competitive spirit of how these episodes started. Both Carlin and Rebecca choose one high and one low ABV beer. Three impress, but one falls flat.

Carlin immediately dives in to four Bruery beers for full evaluation, three of which Carlin has never had. Two come highly recommended, one is an all time favorite, and another just sounds weird.

The Black Is Beautiful craft beer collaboration effort to promote equality and inclusion was created last year by Marcus Baskerville of Weathered Souls Brewing.

Carlin and Rebecca dig into variants of a unique sour beer that Carlin fell in love with at the beginning of his sour beer exploration years ago.
