This week Brandon and Tony bid farewell (probably) to Dry January with Go Brewing's "New School Sour Berry".

Beer description:
This isn’t your average sour—it’s a flavor revolution. Bursting with juicy, fruit-forward notes that are perfectly balanced by a zippy tang, it’s the ultimate mashup of sweet and tart. Imagine the boldness of ripe citrus colliding with the smooth sweetness of stone fruit, all tied together with a crisp, clean finish that’ll leave your taste buds begging for an encore.

Crafted as an ode to the creators—the new school who see blank walls as opportunities and rough sketches as blueprints for greatness—this beer is alive with flavor as vibrant as their work. It’s more than a drink; it’s a masterpiece in every sip.

Another year has come and gone and that can only mean one thing: THE MALTEEZ!

This year Brandon and Tony invited Matthew Mauldenhauer to join them for their favorite beer countdown to end 2024.

Thank you to all of our listeners for the continued support of the show.  Without you, we'd just be sitting around drinking and not talking.  We love you all.

Cheers to 2025 from The Malting Hour.

A demonic Russian-Style Imperial Stout brewed with coffee, Mexican vanilla, and Indian sugar, this beer defies description. Available one day a year, in April at the brewery: Dark Lord Day.

Thanks to Kevin and Deb Goggin for the theme song.
