We met up with Björn at Mikkeller's Moriskan Beergarden. Goose Island was passing through Sweden a did a multicity TTO. We love Bourbon County Brand Stouts and getting to try several in one of our favorite places is a double win. We got to try three BCBS from Goose Island: Fine Old Rum Barrel Stout, Cherries Jubilee Stout and Night Cap Cuvee. There was also a new brewery to us from Atlanta, GA called Good Word Brewing. We got to try Never Sleep, a 7% ABV NEIPA and Sleepwalker, a 9% AVB DIPA.

We're moving beyond doubles. This week we're hitting triples. TIPAs that is. We got two of the best breweries doing TIPAs. One from the US and one from Canada. Trade wars be damned, we're building bridges with beer. Monkish Brewing Moonk is a 10.2% ABV baddie made with Comet and Galaxy hops. It's a strong entry in the TIPA game. Canada doesn't want to be outdown so Messorem Temporalis #0056 comes up to bat. This juice bomb is 10% ABV and has HBC 1183, Citra and Citra Dynaboost. Whose the winner in this game? Listen and find out.

Who doesn't love the sweet almondy goodness of a classic Italian biscotti? Dipping it into a hot expression to enjoy. Now image that in a high ABV imperial stout. Yeah, I know you want you. You want it so bad. Goose Island is gonna give it you first with Bourbon Country Brand Biscotti Stout from 2022. Proving why they are still one of the kings of barrel-aged stouts, this 14.3% AVB baddie holds up extremely well despite its age. Dude Brewing Red Power The Whale is part of their cake line. This is the Red Velvet Biscotti Cake Stout. It's a younger fresher beer but don't let its age full you. It still packs a mighty 12.5% ABV.

In maybe a podcasting history first, we're covering the mysterious Japanese beer style known as happoshu. This is a Japanese only beer style and appears to be largely created as a tax incentive. We cover three of the four largest Japanese breweries this episode with beers from Asahi, Suntory and Sapporo.  We hope you enjoy this episode simply titled 2 Japanese lagers and a happoshu.

We're double dipping; double dipping into the wax. We are waxing deeply about wax dipped stouts. We start with Spanish brewery Menno Olivier Brewing's Dark Alley. This 14% AVB barleywine is barrel aged for 9 months in Wyoming whiskey barrels. It's a smokey, slightly boozy treat. Romanian brewers Hop Hooligans has released a series of wax dipped beers under the Parasomnia line. Yellow Wax has an ABV of 17% has maple syrup, vanilla and aged in different mystery barrels. They are really great barrels.

We usually don't feature DIPA's on show. They are impossible to review. Either they are amazingly made or dull and lifeless. We got really lucky this episode. Shelton Brewing started as an inhouse brewery inside a Whole Foods in Houston, Texas suburbs. This DIPA is a collab with Copenhagen's best beer bar Peders. Drip is loaded with citra, mosaic, motueka and nectaron hops. It's impossibly good. We jump from Texas to New York for Test. They are a nano brewery making big waves with great DIPAs. Mythopoetic Imagination has citra, krush and motueka hops. It's a good day to be drinking beers.

It's no secret we love lambics. When we found that 3F did two collaborations with two of our favorite American brewers, we had to try them. This might come as a shock, but we loved them. First we tried the Side Project Panache. This is a 6% lambic blend of Fermier 2024 with a 2020 Oude Lambik. The result is a funky, tart delicious treat. Next is De Garde Meer & More. It comes in at 9% ABV and blends a spontaneous wild ale with a lambic blend with Mourvedre grapes. Then it's aged on oak barrels for 2 to 7 years. If you can get your hands on this one, you're in for something special. We hope 3F does more of these collaboration in the future if they stay this amazing.

Stefan went out East and of course got some beers. He visited Japan for 2 weeks and tried tons of beers. Of course he brought back a few for the podcast. This episode we crack open two of them. The first is from Derailleur Brew Works. Japanese breweries like to add "additional" ingredients to lagers, wheat beers and stouts. Boku Cardaemon is a traditional wheat beers with cardamom. At first it sounds kinda weird but it somehow works really well. Next is Ushitora Brewery. They released a triple IPA called #503 San Ju Ku. It's a easy drinking 10% ABV beer.

Summer is heating up but the beers are staying cold. It's too hot to write a bunch. Let's keep it brief. Italian brewers Alder Beer Co released a great summer beer with Hering. This 5.2% AVB German pilsner is one of the best pilsners we've ever had. The Veil Brewing released a Triple IPA called Trapped in the Void in collaboration with troon, Brujos and Root + Branch. This 10% big dog is hopped with Riwaka Amplifire, Krush LuoMax, Citra, Citra Cryo and Nelson Sauvin. Stay cool out there.

We have a Canadian episode. When you think summer, you naturally think Canada. Well...maybe not. Why are we featuring two beers from Canada this episode you ask. We just happened to have two Canadian beers. Brasserie du Bas Canada has been releasing a lot of great IPA's. We've been fortunate to try a few. Named after the ash tree nymphs from Greek mythology, Meliades is an American DDH IPA made with Citra, Vic Secret, Galaxy and Enigma. Bad Bones The Pain is a DIPA coming in at 8.1% ABV. Made with Nelson Sauvin and Rakau, it's an easy drinking DIPA that makes us want to try more from the brewery.   #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #ipa
