The Beer Engine

Another day, another dollar, am I right fam? Well, not much of a dollar for me. No one paid me a dollar for this. We just had to buckle down and produce more content. It’s alright, I’ll still keep putting out this garbage. Now this week, you’ve got some classic rants about Rush Limbaugh (dead) and Ted Cruz (dead...oh wait). Also, Pastrybot returned because we had such a good week in the world of pastry and we wanted to thank our special robot friend for delivering him some “imperial lassi gose.” Finally, a new version of “Untrappd” built entirely in honor of “Flyin’ Ted” Cruz around Griff’s all-time favorite airport beers. OK I think that covers it. Bye bye!!

Happy Presidents Day! Wow, has it already been a year since the last one? Seems like all we do is think about Presidents here. "Does the President have a dog?" "What does the President think about global warming?" "Is the President going to send some drones to the local hospital?" You know, maybe "Presidents Day" should be a day where you DON'T think about the President. Kind of cool. Anyway, on this show we screwed around even more than usual I think, talked about some really gloopy seltzer and Tony told us his favorite takeout pairings. Eventually we get to the game - a rousing version of "This, That or the Other Thing" about Valentine's Day that left Tony seeing little Cupids or something. Great, well, see ya!

This again?! Whoa! It was "Big Game Sunday" just recently, so we had our resident gambling wizard - the Content King of Las Vegas - Brian Mollica, join us for some betting advice. The fellas get into some gambling talk for the big game, which you might have already heard, but we did some other stuff too! We reached into the way back machine to do a classic "Table for Ate" segment and talked about some delicious Buffalo Wing beers. Yum! Finally, we played a special edition of "Untrappd" with some nasty Food Network recipes! Yum yum!!?

PS: Belated thank you to our listener James for the lovely donation of Buffalo Wang beer content. Cheers!

We went all in and to continue with the show like this would be to beat ourselves with the book. We are out, Sam.

It’s another episode of the Beer Engine - and it’s all for you! Yes, you! Our oldest and dearest friend of the show. You deserve it my dear friend and we need your support more than ever in these “unprecedented times.” Today, there was some babble about “Joe Biden’s America” and Griff unexpectedly introduces a new, self-indulgent segment about lager. Life in Vegas rolls on, too, as Griff finally gets his damn sportsbook account set up by taking a selfie for a stranger. There was a big beer news segment that was depressing, weird-looking, and smaller than expected. Anyone got a joke for that? Good luck! Finally, a round of “Untrappd” with some of the highest alcohol beers on earth! Cool let’s get wasted!

Wow, another one (copyright DJ Khaled). And actually this episode and all episodes are sponsored by DJ Khaled, and written, produced and recorded by DJ Khaled. Kinda cool. On today’s show, the guys discuss life in Joe Biden’s renewed, inspired American utopia. Griff talks over some cool, classic beer styles he’s been enjoying in his new home. Then, the game you sit through 35 minutes of babble to enjoy - Griff has put together a new “Two Brews and a Lie” about your favorite beer gizmos and doodads and whizbangs (copyright Mike Huckabee). And actually we talked about Mike Huckabee in this show too! Wow and he just came up organically while I typed this? Weird. Anyways, play along and let us know what your favorite products were and we promise, we’ll look for a reasonable substitute. Ok see ya!

Ah, hello. My deepest “apologies” for missing a whole week of podcast content *eye roll*. Well, we’re back now. Really, t’s not like we pumped out some bullshit for 41 consecutive weeks or anything. And maybe I just needed to chill a little bit and get my internet situation sorted out. Honestly, there shouldn’t even be internet out here, we’re in the middle of the god dang desert. But don’t worry, Tony and I are both getting 5 bars and we’re here to party. Today, the guys unload some more of their leftist “bullshit” while the USA melts down. Then, Griff marvels at how quickly he was able to flood his new home with beers, not to mention picking up his 29 bottles of sugar stout from Horus. There’s barely anywhere to stand in here! Finally, Tony tries his best to reminisce on the halcyon days of drunkenly stumbling through the slot banks at the El Cortez in a Vegas-themed game of “This or That.” What is this like a 300 word show description? Barely says anything about the show. Alright well, I guess bye!

Wow, Griff did it, he drove 2000 miles just to host the Drippies! It’s all true, and I don’t even really have any good stories. We ate some poke and a banh mi, but that’s about it. No one got into a fight or anything. Worst thing was paying $15 in tolls in Oklahoma, gee whiz, and for what?! Today, the boys hand out the annual Drippy Awards and, of course, figure out the format on the fly. There are seven categories and you might as well choose the winners at random...that’s sort of what we did. “Just getting nominated is truly an honor” is what loser/beta boy/cuck types say but I think it’s fair in this case where it was just randomly selected. Congrats to the winners and also to the nominees, I guess. Enjoy your picture of a toaster or whatever it was we said we would send you. OK it’s over now!

You thought I would forget the show notes, just because I am driving 2000 miles across the country. WRONG! On today's show, the guys have some very serious beer conversation, putting their year of drinking under a retrospective microscope, and also putting some predictions for 2021 on record for some podcast weirdo to make fun of next December. Then, we hop into the Brux Capacitor for a short ride back to December 2019 to make fun of some of the all-time WORST EVER predictions for the beer industry that only some real freaks could spit up on their nasty half-assed podcast or blog. Yuck!

The holidays are coming hard and fast, my friends. And so is Santa………..hmm? Was that weird? Well, hope everyone is having a pleasant holiday season. Oh no, I’ve just been apprehended by the Christmas Army for saying “holiday season.” Looks like I’m headed to a special kind of jail for secular language next to all of your favorite Starbugs baristas. Well, the wheel of content moves on with or without me. On today’s show, the guys spend far too long analyzing a niche series of donut beers from a Maine brewery. Then, Tony dishes out a fresh set of NBA futures winners on our unnamed betting segment - you’re going to want to toss a few of your Christmas earnings at these ones, gang. Finally, a game where Tony pretty much got them all right, but you get to hear the names of a bunch of pornos, which I’m sure gets you all sweaty because you’re into that kind of thing, aren’t you?? Get outta my sight, ya filthy little weirdos!
