American Pale Males

We start off with beer brags. Jeremy had an Easy Eddie (sp?) while playing "trivia" - the fix was in. Michael brags about two heavy hitting brews - a quad and Black Butte XVIII. Then it's time for Jeremy on the Aisle! Jeremy gleefully reviews recent films he's "scene" in this jaunty segment. Michael discovers a movie he might actually want to watch. Then, Let's Feud. Google Feud. We try, but mostly fail at this game. Then the FDR. Will it be like The Giver and give us warm memories of summer while we try to escape from a fierce dystopian hellscape as we trudge through the snow? Did that kid die at the end of that book?  It was never clear to me.Beer in this episode: Bur Oak Lily AleCheers!

Beer brags like fingerprints are slowly raising. Michael has Sisyphus Blonde which reminds him of an old belove brew from yesteryear. Jeremy has good news though... this scion of said brew is still being brewed!  Jeremy then brags about a side-by-side he tried: Stone Xocoveza Charred vs. Stone Xocoveza. The results intrigue. Michael bring back the Podcast Pitch with "Raised by TV" and "Music of the Mat". Next, a hamfisted quiz about demons that we found online. Finally, the FDR.Beer in this episode: Avery White RascalCheers!

Beer Brags abound! With the Duchess and a nice, spicy, brown mustard ale. A letter then drifts out of the American Pale Male Mail Pail and we read it. The notion of the movie Junior passes and we answer the question contained within. Next, we Beer the Band! Or Artist in this case as we design a brew for the late, great Amy Winehouse. Then we realize this may be in poor taste. Speaking of taste, time for the FDR. Does this "freak beer" inspire?Beer in this episode: Uinta Anniversary BarleywineCheers!

After munching on stuffing, Jeremy and Michael are back for another episode. Beer brags include tasting a sour while under the influence of miracle fruit and a brown ale from Big Grove. Next, we talk our Black Friday strategies, then naturally we move onto 80s trivia. The FDR prompts a long discussion (with sidetracking about submerged trees, Abe Lincoln, and book suggestions) about a remarkable brew.Beer in this episode: Peace Tree William Milo Stone Imperial StoutCheers!

A late night recording, this one kicks off with talk about the classic WCW event "War Games" before getting into some beer brags. This leads into a discussion about the latest that is happening with Toppling Goliath. Next, we move onto NA (non-alcoholic) beers in NA (North America). BA (Beer Advocate) reports on breweries that are trying to break new ground with flavorful non-alcoholic beers. Next, Michael presents Jeremy with a Pie Tournament to help him select his favorite pies. Then the FDR is up, which is a little nutty (as in the beer contains pecans, not that it is crazy or off the wall).Beer in this episode: Abita Pecan AleCheers!

Beer brags commence, but with a slight twist. Michael is going LIVE with his beer brag, formulating and consuming a Skittlebräu. Jeremy gets stupid with Hop Stoopid. We then open the American Pale Male Mail Pail and get a message from a good friend. Peanut butter is debated. Skittlebräu pops back in, right before "Beer the Show", where we design a beer for a television program. After a final check in with the Skittlebräu it is time for the FDR.Beer in this episode: Backpocket Brewing RaygunCheers!

Let's kick it off with some beer brags: Michael tries another Oktoberfest and Jeremy goes on a trip down memory lane, trying old Brew Hoo Hoo beers. What can we do with all this leftover Halloween candy? Ruin great beers by theoretically pairing the two? Sure why not. But only after a healthy dose of cynicism. Also put down that weird "sandwich" Wolfgang made. Wolfram? Wolfsoft? Whatever. Finally, it is the FDR. We unwittingly go corporate and we unwittingly go summer.Beer in this episode: 10 Barrel Out of OfficeCheers!

Pay off! We final reveal the ending to one of the biggest cliffhangers in American Pale Males history! But first... beer brags! Pumpkin Disorderly! Citra pilsner! Michael takes Jeremy to the Tomb of Horrors. Next, a g-g-g-g-ghost quiz. But where is the FDR? It is in the spooky cellar. Uh oh. What will happen when we go down there? Maybe nothing at all. Further discussion on pumpkin flavors, homemade ciders, and an appearance of a special guest?Beer in this episode: ACE Pumpkin CiderCheers!

We recap Jeremy's all night horror movie fest, in terms of logistics and green coffee. Next up, beer brags, Jeremy hits us with two, a Trader Joe's Pilsner and Neopolitan Dynomite. Michael had Wayne's World. Now it's time for the news: some details on cannabidiol infused brews and the Brewers Association's pitch to buy ABInbev. Michael gives a gripping report on the world's largest bells. Why could that be?Beer in this episode: Bell's OctoberfestCheers!

It is our 3rd annual, traditionally overdue, Oktoberfest show. Jeremy kicks it off with horror movie talk, since tis the season. Next, beer brags on Romantic Chemistry and X-Hop. Michael has the "inside" scoop on Toppling Goliath, sorta. The Great American Beer Fest happened, so we touch on that. There's a new product in town for flavoring beer. What? Yeah, we talk about that too. Next is the F D R. Finally, some international flavor on the show, straight outta Germany.Beer in this episode: Hacker-Pschorr Original OktoberfestCheers!

It is the season finale episode. That really doesn't mean anything though. Jeremy has a double extended beer brag featuring brews from Oktoberfest. Michael elects to read olde tyme beer advertisements. We then design a banquet beer. Someone who was a good friend e-mails in talking about Beerbots, style redemption, and Untappd. Also prompting discussion on Back to the Future, Blade Runner, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Let's play The Feud. Michael constructs a quiz related to the FDR for Jeremy. Then the FDR arrives. It is a vaunted one.Beer in this Episode: Founders Kentucky Breakfast StoutCheers!

Beer brags, all around. Then Jeremy updates us on his summer reading celebration. Michael retorts with a book of his own that presented a conundrum. Michael attempts a quiz where both hosts can guess at the answer. Then the FDR gives us a beer from spurious origins.Beer in this Episode: Inlet Brewing Monk in the TrunkCheers!

Live with a report about a concert is Jeremy. Then beer brags. Then uh.. talking about counter top brewing machines. Then we step up to the "tea" for the FDR.Beer in this Episode: Marz Community Brewing Jungle BoogieCheers!

The show starts with a failed exbeeriment and a beer brag. Then as promised from last week, Jeremy talks about It. Things lighten up though when Michael challenges Jeremy to reboot a movie franchise from yesteryear. The FDR commences. Check out the game Lewis and Clark Stayed Home at www.virtualapple.comBeer in this Episode: Lewis and Clark Brewing Company Tumbleweed IPACheers!

Beer Brags have landed with Jeremy touting a limited run from his local fav, while Michael enjoys a fine brew from Bruges. Michael tries to rile up Jeremy, but it backfires. Then Jeremy wants to be scared by It. We discuss an article from Beer Advocate about geekiness, then break bad with a beer during the FDR.Beer in this Episode: Deschutes Pacific Wonderland LagerCheers!

The Summerian Summer Series may be over, but our summer beer brags are going strong. We have mail from a listener, prompting us to an article about the influx of pumpkin beers on store shelves. Will we be curmudgeonly? Jeremy has the inside scoop on PBR trade routes. Then an interview segment occurs that rivals Frost/Nixon. Finally, it is FDR time. We jabber for a long time.Beer in this Episode: Pipeworks Ninja vs. UnicornCheers!

Special St. Louis Edition Beer Brag! And another one too that I can't remember right now. Then we get an update on Hooks Books. I hope you like serious, grave subject matter on a light-hearted beer drinking podcast. A good friend gets in touch with a recommendation. Finally, it is FDR time: the last of the Summerian Summer Series. Do we end the summer on a high note? Uh oh.Beer in this Episode: Coronado Brewing Company Berry the HatchetCheers!

Today's beer brag was a competition on who could be the most interesting. Both we remarkable in their own way and each deserve a trophy. That's right. Everyone wins. Does it make you mad? Afterwards, we embark on a variety of topics: creating a new liquor, corporate blogs, corporate buyouts, the Zion Curtain, and vaping hops/hopping vapes. Finally, the Summerian Summer Series of the Summer continues with another fruit adjunct brew.Beer in this Episode: Maui Brewing Company Pineapple Mana WheatCheers!

Emergency intro! Not really though. We both double down on our b-brags, including some butchering of the name of styles that we have never had before. Next is Down the Cinema Aisle with Jeremy (alternating marquee lights), where he dishes on three films he saw recently. Michael then reviews a top ten list of beers that we all should probably have at some point in our life given their GRAVITAS. Finally, it is FDR time, where a friend of the show has delivered to us a special summer treat.Beer in this episode: Great Northern Brewing Wild Huckleberry Wheat LagerCheers!

Reality bears harsh lessons and these beer brags are not an exception. The American Pale Male Mail Pail provides levity. And a game will certainly lighten matter too: just match the fictional beer with the television show or movie. Not enough? Well, let's try a brew. Sometimes life is just. too. sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!Beer in this episode: Door County Brewing Apricot Dude RanchCheers!
