We take a deep dive into nazis and robots on the show this week. Tune in for the latest development (or first since 1991, if you ask the producer and director) in the Terminator saga and see WWII through the eyes of a young boy who's closest friend is an imaginary Adolf Hitler.

We start with show with a NE IPA from Moksa (Rocklin, CA) called "Pineapple Turbo Fuzz" and end it with another NE IPA from Revision called "What We Drink in the Shadows."

With Halloween in our rearview, we put away the fictional monsters - the vampires, ghosts and ghouls - and set our sights on real monsters; slave owners in Pre-Civil War America. "Harriet" tells the story of slave-turned-abolitionist Harriet Tubman. We discuss the merits of the story, the telling, and the factuality of the first feature-length (WHAT? HOW?) film about an iconic woman in American history.

Per usual, our conversation is fueled by two exciting craft beers. The first is an 8.25% wine barrel-aged pilsner called Intinction from Russian River Brewing from Santa Rosa, CA. The second is a pale ale from Abomination Brewing based out of New Haven, Connecticut called Urayuli which clocks in at 6.3% abv.

Happy Halloween! This week we cover some scaaaaaary stuff. The first scary thing is a beer from Nightmare Brewing (originally from New York) called "Glasgow Smile." It's a Leipzig Gose that comes in at 6.7%. Our second beer was "Blood Junkie," an 8.7% Imperial Red Ale from Three Weavers Brewing Co out of Inglewood, CA. The "scary" thing sandwiched in between those alcoholic wonders is "Zombieland: Double Tap." It's a sequel to the 2009 film of a similar name. We hope you enjoy!

We're back! Max got back from his recent honeymoon and brought some beers back with him. The first beer we cover is a 7.2% Norwegian lager called "Stockholm" and was made by Krönlein's Brewery (Halmstad, Sweden). We then delve into "Ink & Dagger" from Amundsen Brewery out of Oslo, Norway. After dissecting "Joker" we taste "Scandi Land" from Graff Brewery (Tromsø, Norway) as well as "Quenchable - Mosaic + Ekuanot" from Little Brother Brewery (Oslo, Norway).
