Brewtal Battle Podcast

A hoppy beer with a witty name and a fruited sour are the focus of this episode. One from a brewery not tasted on the podcast for some years and the other from one never tasted on the podcast before.

For this On The Shelf episode, Carlin and Rebecca start light and hoppy, but finish dark and boozy.

Pulled from the shelf of their local liquor store, Carlin and Rebecca evaluate a hoppy local beer with a great backstory and a fruited sour from a brewery they first experienced some years ago in Pennsylvania.

Always looking for some good near beer options, Carlin and Rebecca give Hoplark hop water a try. Is this one worth the money for those times you want some hoppy flavor with no alcohol? Listen to find out.

The second part of Carlin and Rebecca’s recent beer trip to Williamsport, Maryland, Cushwa Brewing is the focus. The beers are quite good, but so are the Rad Pies. Listen to hear about it.

Rounding out the box, Carlin and Rebecca tackle the most interesting of the four Black Tuesday variants.
