Liquid Bread

Rich talks light beer and "healthy" drinking, Larry talks about a game show, and Matty starts a diet as we unpack whether beer can be compatible with a healthy lifestyle and just what the hell exactly a "light beer" is.

We got this master cicerone lyin' around, so why not talk about the cicerone program a bit? Rich shares some of his thoughts on and experience with the Cicerone Certification Program, including advice for anybody interested in checking it out! Larry talks about muppets and sitcoms.

Master Cicerone Rich leads us in a tasting of a more local brew, Pure Project's Pure West! Try it if you can find it, or grab an unfiltered West Coast IPA and... sorta follow along.

A man uses his first words for a relatable request, we get Larry's coleslaw opinions (again), and Rich discusses the Belgian beer style known as the saison.

Rich is in London, so we thought it appropriate that he lead us in a tasting of Ireland's most famous beer, Guinness Extra Stout!

We look back on Bud Light's controversial 2019 "No Corn Syrup" campaign, and give our thoughts on this year's Super Bowl beer commercials, including Rich's cicerone expertise and Matty's commercial directing PTSD.

Finally, Pliny. Rich leads us in a tasting of Russian River Brewing's classic double IPA. Trigger warning for cat pee-ophobes.

We're talking about beer off-flavors, because even flavors get sick of being on all the time. Does your beer taste like green apple? Butter? Sewage? Rich lets you know if there might be something wrong with it. Plus for our first episode of 2022 we give our new beer's resolutions, which it seems like Larry made up on the spot even though Matty emailed about doing them beforehand.

For the holidays, you better believe we're drinking a holiday beer: the classic Sierra Nevada Celebration. Grab a six-pack, sit down with five family members (or as many as you've got that you enjoy), and sip along!

In our Pastry Stout episode, we talk about drinking cask ale in London pubs, butterfly-assisted beer, brewing nuns... maybe pastry stouts at some point?
