Crackin' One Open

It's our golden episode - Cheers to 50! To celebrate, Elyse is challenging Mike to a tasting of his least favorite type of beer, with a selection of her personal favorites and industry standards. Will Mike rise to the occasion and learn to appreciate saisons, or will he choke and spit it out? Tune in to find out! And don't worry, Mike will get his revenge soon enough ...

Time for a "crummy" beer!

This week we're crackin' open Crum Amber Ale from Stony Creek Brewery, located in Branford, CT!

Mike and Elyse take a look at one of Mike's favorite beers! Beerfessor Elyse will go over what makes Crum different from your average beer or even a cider and how much variation you can get with a beverage when you use apples. Also, are both this beer and the Graft cider from last week inspired by the works of Stephen King?!?!?!?!

You like apples? Well how 'bout these apples!!!! I got her number!....I mean...cider!

This week we're crackin' open something a little different for ya ... "Comes & Gose" sour cider comes to us from Graft Cidery, located in Newburgh, NY.

Our beerfessor (copyright pending) Elyse will go over how you even make sweet innocent apple juice into something more unpure and adult. We'll then learn how Graft goes in and cranks that flavor profile up to 11! Crossing the sacred line between beer and cider. Will Mike enjoy this unholy crossbreed? Or will he spit the contents of this wrong apple juice into the microphone?What could go wrong? ... or right? Right?! Cheers!!
