The Beer Reviewed Journal

For science, the boys got two bottles of Miller Lite's Beer Drops, purported to make any light beer taste like Miller Lite. In an incredibly scientific episode, BRJ Labs tries:

• Plain Seltzer w/Beer Drops
• Michelob Ultra
• Michelob Ultra w/ Beer Drops
• Labatt Blue Light
• Labatt Blue Light w/Beer Drops
• Bud Light Platinum
• Bud Light Platinum w/Beer Drops

Inevitably in a show powered by light beers, the conversation turns to early season baseball and John Bobbitt. Also, McKenneth uses the C word. Again.

Join us as we celebrate 50 stellar episodes of the BRJ! (OK. if we're honest, it's probably like 35 stellar episodes, and 15 decent ones)

We enjoy:

• Russian River's legendary Pliny the Elder
• Strangebird and Steuben Brewing Company's 2022 winner for Best Collaboration beer at the NYS Craft Beer Competition, Artisanal Harvest
• Hermit Thrush's Party Pop Strawberry, a wild fermented kettle sour

We talk about what the last two years have brought to the show, congratulate the good people at Strangebird for their win as best brewery in New York State, do an extraordinary amount of time actually talking about the beers, and celebrate the friendship that makes the BRJ what it is.

Pop some bottles with us as we celebrate episode 50, and toast (not cheers) to at least 50 more.

Thank you to Astrometrics for the use of their songs in the break: Paradroid and I Have Seen the Attack on Earth.

We're back, and apparently very tired. Shamus O'Shaughnessy joins us for another St. Patrick's Day episode of the BRJ. We drink Guinness, Harp, and do a half and half, because we're fancy. We also discuss the other great saint of Ireland, Phil Lynott and as usual, Matt beats up on U2. A day after this was recorded, a poem by Bono was read in the US House of Representatives that was arguably the worst thing ever put to paper. So Matt's feeling pretty vindicated today.

As you no doubt have ascertained by the title of the show, this one goes off the rails quickly and devolves into a conversation about garbage plates and general BS. Matt's exhausted, Blue's drunk, and we continue in our steady march toward being the Doughboys.

We also drink a bunch of Bell's beers from the Bell's Box of Hearts. Blue wants to call it the Box of Farts, but we run a classier establishment than that. It's Cold Hearted, Two Hearted, Light Hearted and Black Hearted. All definitely worth drinking.

The most accomplished podcaster in Rochester and our good friend Chris Lindstrom joins us on the BRJ to talk about Cincinnati beers, obscure delicacies and hot Wordle tips. This one is all over the place, and it's a ton of fun. Thanks to Stromie for the beers and the use of the Food About Town studios. Stay tuned after the outro for a special bonus beer review! It's a long episode, but it'll go down real smooth. That's the BRJ guarantee.

Here it is, the long awaited for you and most dreaded for us episode of the BRJ. We finish the Sam Adams Holiday Pack. It goes about how we all expected. Happy New Year and enjoy, while we nurse a bad beer hangover.

It's here, the long awaited Sam Adams Holiday Pack 2 Part Spectacular. It starts bad and gets worse, but at least you get to hear Mckenneth do a pretty good David Bowie impression. Sad we're not gonna get the Jim Koch sponsorship after this one. Sam Boston Lager, Reunion IPA, and Holiday Porter are what we struggle through in this one.

It's here! The boys finally tackle their favorite style, the Black IPA. An underrated throwback to the early days of craft beer, Black IPAs are having a bit of a moment this year. And we're having a moment with them too.

This ep features Tree House Brewing's Raven, and Rising Storm's Nocturnal Rainbow. We loved them both, and support any other breweries digging back into the crates and bringing back the Black IPAs.
