Dia dhuit, which in Irish means HELLO! This is a unique episode as you can see from the .5 in the 33.5 title. Alex has left us for Ireland this week, but before he parted, we recorded a quick mini episode celebrating the Irish Beer Culture, and enjoying the ever famous, Guinness Draught.

Guinness is a 4.2% Irish Dry Stout with a rich creamy texture and a velvety aftertaste. This iconic beer is defined by harmony, which is represented by the harp on the front of the pint glass and bottle.

We quickly dive into a little history on the Guinness Storehouse located in Dublin Ireland, we then learn how to perform the OFFICIAL Guinness pour, and we finish by giving you all some Beer Facts Fun: Irish Style.

Enjoy this mini sit down with Friends Drink Beer!

From the time he set foot on a college campus, Dave Benfield was expected to go into the family business as an electrical contractor. But rather than learning the business in his free time, Dave was spending his waking hours homebrewing, drinking his homebrew, and sharing the amazing liquid with others. One day, his father said to him, you’re going to be a brewer, aren’t you? DuClaw was then born when Dave followed his passion and started brewpubs in Maryland. Later, he transitioned to focus on his bottling and canning business so he could get more DuClaw to more people. Always cherishing the craft, never following the obvious path. Craft Be Cherished. Rules Be Damned. Sweet Baby Jesus! is a Porter that’s lightly sweet, malty flavor is accented by rich flavors of chocolate, coffee, and peanut butter, balanced by a subtle hop character.

This week on FDB - a car thief claims to be Beyonce, a pig commits arson against its captors, a Canadian band performs a concert at new depths, and more!

Founded in 1987 during the California craft beer revolution, Humboldt Brewing Company is a pioneering microbrewery nestled in the heart of the Redwood forest. The brewery represents an idea intrinsic to life in Humboldt: a passion to live fully and in unison with the ancient trees and rocky coastline that make this corner of the world so intimate and beloved. The people here simply wish to drink good beer, and Humboldt Brewing Company is more than happy to oblige.

Growing up in a section of the U.S. infamous for their love and production of hemp, it is only fitting Humboldt Brewing Company incorporates this lifestyle into their beers – without the THC, of course. Since winning Gold at the California State Fair in 1999, Humboldt Brown Hemp Ale, along with the rest of the line-up, has been winning awards across the U.S. In 2003, Firestone Walker bought the brewery and renamed it Nectar Ales, but the company’s ties to its place of origin never faded. When Total Beverage Solution purchased Nectar Ales in 2012, they changed the name back to Humboldt Brewing Company and promised to continue brewing in California. Hemp Ales is an American Brown Ale brewed with toasted hemp seeds that add a unique, herb-accented flavor. The American hops create a perfect balance to the darker malts in this brew.

This week on FDB - a courthouse cookie caper, a flame fooling snake, a properly polite burglar, and more!

BEER EVENT OF THE WEEK

EVENT: Celebracion de Saison

WHERE: Carolina Bauernhaus Brewery & Winery in Anderson, South Carolina

WHEN: Saturday, March 21 from Noon to 10pm

WHAT: "Saison" is a French word meaning season and refers to a beer made in the French-speaking region of Belgium called Wallonia. Beer made in this region utilized regional ingredients to produce seasonal beers often brewed in late fall, aged over winter, and tapped and ready to drink for Spring. These hyper-local, regional, seasonal beers gave rise to the popularity of the farmhouse style ales that inspired the founding of Brewery Carolina Bauernhaus Ales. As homage to the founders, they are hosting a Celebracion de Saison featuring 8 rustic saisons brewed with regional and seasonal ingredients, laid to rest over the winter, and now ready to enjoy. These rustic saisons feature infusions of honey, herbs, flowers, and wood unique to Upstate South Carolina. These bright, floral and easy drinking saisons offer a warm welcome to spring with a celebration of the beer style that gave them their start. Be sure to check it out!

Melvin Brewing was born in the back of a Thai restaurant in 2009, when owner Jeremy Tofte decided to bring beers from the future to Jackson, Wyoming. Their 20 gallon brew system quickly grew into a 3 barrel system, and they served their award-winning beers with sides of Asian street food, kung fu movies and old school hip hop. After winning Small Brewpub of the Year at GABF 2015, they opened a 30 barrel production facility 45 minutes away in Alpine (pop 750) with the awesome help of the people of Wyoming. Shortly thereafter, they went on to win Brewing Group of the Year at GABF 2017. Embracing the chaos and riding the wave, Melvin Brewing has now been taking its world class beers on a worldwide tour, via their lifted border patrol Melvin bus. Remember: if your beer is not madness, it’s not beer.

Upon first crack of New England Breakfast Ale, you may notice the aromas of roasted malt, coffee, and maple syrup. Upon first sip, you’ll notice a blend of maple syrup, coffee, and a light nuttiness.

This week on FDB - A shoplifter fails at stealing meat and pudding, frogs get frisky, free porn on a cruise, and more!

BEER EVENT OF THE WEEK

EVENT: She the People

WHERE: Cape May Brewing Company in Cape May, New Jersey

WHEN: Friday, March 6th from Noon till 8pm

WHAT: Cape May Brewing Company is celebrating the strong, smart, and talented women in brewing with their first Pint Night of 2020! In conjunction with International Women’s Day, they’ll be raising funds to support the Pink Boots Society, an organization focused on advocating for female professionals in our industry.

For the second year in a row, the women of Cape May Brewing Company have joined forces to devise and brew a beer in collaboration with the Pink Boots Society. After last year’s wildly successful “Maybe She’s Brewed with It,” this year, they’ve brewed She the People: a pilsner flavored with passionfruit and mango, complementing the naturally fruity Pink Boots hops blend of Loral, Idaho Gem, Azacca, and El Dorado.

Furthering the cause for the female movers and shakers in the beer industry, the Pink Boots Society assists, inspires, and encourages women professionals in brewing, advancing their careers through seminar programs and educational scholarships. At the Pint Night, you’ll get the chance to chat with members of the Pink Boots Society who will be on-hand to answer questions and raise awareness.

The Pink Boots Society will receive $1 from each pint and flight sold in the Tasting Room, as well as $1 from each $11.99+tax four-pack of 16-ounce cans of She the People sold in the Brewtique, with the funds raised going to support the educational initiatives of the Pink Boots Society. Swing on through!!

Von Ebert Brewing is owned and operated by Tom Cook, Dennis January, Eric Simko and Tom S. Cook. Von Ebert Brewing was named after Tom S’ Great Grandmother Ebert, who was the guiding force to their immigrant family when they came over from Germany to the United States. Through marriage, their last name is different now, but when they decided to build a craft brand, they knew they wanted to make Grandma proud as she continues to be their guiding force. If Grandma Ebert wouldn’t think it was up to point, they wouldn't do it. Black Pils sits in between a German-style pilsner and a Schwarzbier, containing notes of fresh cut herbs, light caramel, and wafts of lighter roast coffee with a firm palate-sticking bitterness

This week on FDB - mixed drinks come straight from the kitchen sink, fast food employees wash more than hands after using the restroom, Keanu Reeves makes a scholastic appearance, and more!
