Karben4 teamed up with Kwik Trip once again, this time to produce a Peanut Butter Cup Flavored Milk Stout. The collaboration has been hit & miss in the past. Even with the boy's fondness for peanut butter stouts, will this brew be the way?

Every year, we look forward to the season's best. One of our favorites is Bell’s Hopslam. But it's never quite the same from year to year. Will this year's offering please stand up? Is the price right, or will the boys press their luck?

Take an outstanding tripel. Let it age in bourbon barrels. Then, just before bottling, add in some fresh stuff and see what happens. In this episode of Driftless Drinks, Mark and John pour into such a beer - Allagash Brewing's Curieux. Will it hold up or will la curiosité tue ces chats?

It's Christmas in Beer Town! Just for you, Mark and John pull a double-header first unwrapping a Christmas Scotch Ale from Bell's Brewery. Then the two reach into their stockings for a Great Lake's Christmas Beer. Ho, ho, hold my beer and keep hold o' your reindeer!

Breweries collaborate quite often these days. To see a coast-to-coast collab - especially between such craft innovators as Alesmith and Ommegang is too much for us to pass up.

We're tasting Philosophy and Velocity - East Coast Edition on this episode, a combination of Alesmith's Speedway Stout and Ommegang's Belgian-style Quad. Join us!

John and Mark crack the top off a White Stouts Can't Jump beer from Abomination Brewing. This homage to the 1992 Ron Shelton movie might taste like a stout, but it doesn't look it. Will it snipe one from the arc or leave the boy's mouths feeling woody?

It's a tricky one this week; part circus, part Narnia.

The boys put their head in the mouth of a potential abomination from Clown Shoes - an Imperial Stout, mixed with a wee-heavy, then aged in bourbon, rum, and brandy barrels. Can it taste good? Is it too much? Will they tame the beast or lose their respective heads?
