Beer Blues and BS

The End of an Era: Goodbye Schlitz


Listen Later

From major historic site upgrades to the end of a legendary brewing era, Episode 270 of Beer, Blues, and BS is packed with high mileage, heavy machinery, and plenty of banter. We kick things off with a milestone celebration for our local historic sites before diving straight into breaking industry news: the historic discontinuation of a classic American heritage beer brand.

The "What's on Tap" segment takes our palates on a truly wild ride. The crew tests the limits with an absolute gauntlet of experimental beverages, featuring everything from a video-game-branded sour cherry soda and a "pineapple-gasoline" punch, to a fiercely ginger-forward kombucha and a spiced pineapple soda packed with black pepper. On the flip side, we celebrate a massive milestone as the show officially features its very first craft beer sourced from the state of Mississippi!

Plus, JS pulls off a live mechanical feat right on camera, replacing a radiator and water pump mid-show while dropping some critical "mower beer" safety disclaimers. We also talk technical setups for the next big music challenge, dive into the literal phonetic quirks of the German language, debate the perfect base coat for Howard's latest scarecrow miniature, and share deep personal philosophies on why adults need to learn to embrace the quiet moments.

On Tap this Episode:

  • Mark Kidder: Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, New Belgium Mountain Time, and a smooth Southern Pecan Brown Ale.
  • JS: Leinenkugel's Orange Shandy, a crisp Blueberry Lager, and a classic Grain Belt Premium.
  • Doc: Fanta Crimson Sour Cherry (Diablo 4 Edition) and a beautifully balanced Thai Lychee drink.
  • Big D: Mad Dog 2020 Island Pineapple Spike Punch and a strawberry high-protein milkshake "perfection."
  • Howard Blues: Synergy Ginger Berry Kombucha and a spiced pineapple-cinnamon soda.
