In this episode, we record live and direct from the upstairs bar at The Pourhouse in NJ. Our good friend of many many years and 20 year beer-biz veteran Rob Forczek sits in for this segment. We drink a Dogfish beer, we dissect a White Ale from a Trappist Brewery, Rob drops an Allagash Victoria on our heads, we talk about Richard working out and being a music coach, and sound like jaded old vets as we break down Philly Beer week.

This episode was recorded on the fly, on Jay's iPhone, on his back porch, on a Sunday night. Life-long friend of Jay and Richard, Bobby Parent is our guest, as it was his idea to smoke bourbon glasses and pour bourbon into the smoked glasses. Richard has a devil of a time with a Cuban cigar, the boys geek out over Federal Donuts, and Richard mentions that he's had a few dudes. This is a fun one, pour a bourbon and enjoy the show! Cheers and Beers! BONUS CLIP: The last 12 or so minutes of this episode is a segment Jay and Richard recorded in 2007 for Richard's final broadcasting school grade. No beer talk on this one and it is a bit "shock-jock-ish" in the vein of a Stern or O & A. That was the project. Sticking with the Bobby Parent theme, the boys call Bob and and ask him all those burning questions you've always wanted to... Ask A Gay Dude. The name D: Students refers to the file where this segment was hiding on the school computer. Richard couldn't find the file on the computer and needed an instructor to find it. When he found it, the instructor said, "It's right here, in the file marked D: Students." The boys knew they now had a name for the show. But they never did another show. Until they started doing Fear Of A Craft Beer Planet, 8 years later. D: Students indeed.

Our second segment of our live at the Pourhouse Podcast. In this episode we drink a braggot from Harpoon Brewing and Andrea Billick joins us again to talk beer in wine barrels. We also enjoy a Weyerbacher Tarte Nouveau from the hand-pump and get very confused as to what we were drinking. Craft-Beer-Super-Rep Natalie DeChicco from Weyerbacher brewing drops science via an impromptu phone call and clears up any confusion anyone may have about Tarte Nouveau. This is a MUST LISTEN!!!

Segment 1 of 2 live from The Pourhouse in Westmont NJ. The "stupid question of the day alarm" happens by accident, a hung over Jay Rose completely fakes his way through and bungles the description of a vintage cider, Wine expert Andrea Billick helps Jay decipher the cider, and Richard's man crush on John Mayer is reveled.

4th and FINAL installment from Geek Fest. We're clearly exhausted by this point in the day. In this segment we sample the Otter Creek Back Seat Berner and Neshaminy Creek Coconut Milk Stout. The BBQ Guy and the Chicken Lady square off, and we look deeper into Richard's health issues.

In this segment the wheels continue to come off the wagon. We sample the new Kirsch Gose from Victory Brewing, Pivo Pils from Firestone Walker and more Oscar Blues Pinner. Richard gets Fleeced by chicks dressed as things and explains why Ren and Stimpy got canceled, and we met a gentleman that may or may not have reinvented quaaludes.

This is segment 2 of our triumphant live broadcast from South Jersey Geekfest. In this segment we welcome our first ever craft beer guest, John Hoyos from Hunterdon Brewing. John brings a few beers from his portfolio to try and dissect, Various fest-goers jump on mic and mix it up with the boys, Richard connects with a fella (?) he knows from the past and explains some of the stunts he was up to back when he did morning radio. This is where things get slightly uncomfortable. For the whole room .

Our first live broadcast ever from South Jersey Geekfest in Woodbury NJ! This is our first segment of the day where we set ourselves up for a less-than normal craft beer podcast situation. Beer is present, we introduce our producer Dan, and Richard is blissfully Richard.

Episode 4 of Fear Of A Craft Beer Planet Podcast. In this episode, we talk about the term "craft" vs. the term "crafty." Explore the short attention span of the modern craft beer drinker, and announce our live broadcast from South Jersey Geek fest on April 4th.

In this episode we dissect a Braggot, fuss over lager vs ale, compare hops to weed (again), shit on flavor-bomb ales, and discuss why living with your coke dealer is a bad idea.
