We're back after a little break and feeling a little ill. We've got a fun lineup of beers today: we are doing a vertical tasting of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 editions of Goose Island's "Bourbon County Brand Stout" and highlighting our tasting notes every step of the way. Should probably throw an ASMR tag in here, cause we spend most of the episode sniffing and lip-smacking (kidding....kind of). Hope you got to enjoy the 2023 stout and some variants!

Its Thanksgiving!... almost. Check this episode out for what we think are some tasty beer pairings for your favorite turkey day foods. Better yet, grab them yourselves and taste along on the big day. Gobble Gobble!

Once again, it is Stout Season, so we've got some stouts to crack on today's episode! Today we break down the various BJCP stout styles, providing style guidelines and our own perspectives and preferences. Also featured, of course, is LC's Pick of the Week, and another guest spot for Baby Owen (who is getting more and more excited to talk on the podcast). Cheers!

You might see a peanut butter cup imperial stout on a draft list and think, Wow, that sounds like a unique and special beer, and proceed to order a session IPA. Did you know your session IPA can be considered a specialty beer? Today we talk about the BJCP's style guidelines for specialty beers and experimental beers, and the recommendations for entering them into judging categories if you enter a competition. Tune in to find out why a triple IPA's suggested entry category is the American Barleywine!
