Have A Drink

People love advent calendars, and while I’m sure they have religious reasons or traditions . . . we love putting alcohol in them. So we are going to try and get one done in one night, because screw tradition and our livers. So punch a hole in the box and join us, as we Have a Drink.

BOXED, BOXED WIIIIIIINE! Goes to my Head! Makes me forget the cork-taint. It seems I am being told to stop singing, but you know what today’s episode is about. Have we abandoned the classy bottle for the cheap bag here on Have a Drink? Or is there a reason to slap the bag? Grab your fanciest Franzia and have a drink.

We’ve done it! Mission accomplished, everyone, send the Trappists home, the finish line is in sight. It’s our last in our yearlong deep dive into Trappists. We’ve picked up a lot of new history and gotten to compare how each monastery looks at brewing differently, so what do we have to talk about today? Well, these Trappists have a more international feel, so we’re getting a little further away from Germany and Belgium and seeing where these monks, Have a Drink.

Jonathan Walker, Johnnie to his friends, has been making Scotch for hundreds of years. It was probably your first Scotch, whether it was red, black, or Blue. Honestly, it feels like the Budweiser of Scotch. You’ll find it anywhere and everyone’s had it. Is there more to this brand than the marketing, we’ll look at that more. And it should go without saying, but we’ll have a drink.

Beer has 4 ingredients: Barley, hops, yeast and water. Except when they add more things. Today it’s usually fruit or marshmallows. . . I wouldn’t be surprised if they just added tacos to the mash, but historically, one of the best additions has been wheat. We are going to delve into that today, and see how wheat has changed beer over the years, and the best way to do that is to Have a Drink.

It’s another wine episode so let’s look at the the rich, vibrant history of another well known wine region. Today’s region is . . . Germany? [laughs uncontrollably] ah, that’s good, but seriously where is it. Oh, they make something other than beer in Germany? Well, I guess that means there is a lot to learn today, so pour you a riesling, and Have a Drink.

We let Bob write another episode, so of course it’s not about alcohol. We really need to get someone to explain to him what this show is about. At least it’s drinking adjacent, unlike his pitched idea of an episode on the Battle for Stalingrad. Today we’re talking about Drinking songs, but there probably won’t be any more singing on the show than normal. So relax, maybe hum a few bars, and Have a Drink.

It’s time for another round of Tapping the Trapp, or I guess Le Trappe in the case of today’s episode. It’s time to continue our Trappist series with some new Trappist beers. Well, new to the series, all of these are very old breweries by today’s standards. So grab whatever Abbey beer you can find, join us for Trappist 3: With a Vengeance, and Have a Drink.

Well, we're movin' on up! To the east side! To a deluxe distillery, in the Sky! Okay, yeah we are talking about Jefferson's today, and do our best not to make references to 70s sitcoms. That seems unlikely, but what does seem likely, is that we'll have a drink.
