The Beerists Craft Beer Podcast

Someone had the bright idea to record an episode on a Saturday at noon. Rubio's still unemployed, Anastacia's still weird, and Mike's still drunk from the night before.

While we were in Chicago, we had the pleasure of being guests on the ABV Chicago Podcast. Find out more about this episode on their page. Hope you enjoy it! Here's their writeup: The Beerists swept through this city like a drunken typhoon, and they stopped by to wreak some havoc on Craig’s cellar. John Rubio, Anastacia Kelly, and Mike Lambert join us to do what they’ve been doing for longer than us: review delicious beers. We talk about their Austin-based award-winning podcast, highlights of their Chicago trip, and their observations on this city’s beer culture. Also, Anastacia gives spot-on food pairings, Rubio sings, and Craig and Mike become closer than we are comfortable with. You’re welcome! Subscribe!

Rubio's been laid off, and his outlook is pretty bleak. Everyone else is as ruthless as always as we try 5 beers from one of the world's oldest breweries.

Dallas has been exploding with new breweries. We try 5 of their beers, talk about our 3rd anniversary party, lament on vomit, and make too many dick jokes.

Stone has been busy releasing tons of new beers lately, so we decided to tackle 5 of them. We laugh, cry the best cry, and Rubio spits bloody nuclear wrath at spiced beers.

Anastacia brought 5 beers for us to try this week, one of which turned out to be among the best beers in recent memory- and another which was among the worst.

Anastacia's back just in time to try 5 beers that listener Emily Fleck sent us from Yards in Philly. Mike has a birthday, Grant fucks music up, and Rubio ruins names.

3 of us try beers from California, Vermont, and Ohio- some were celebrated, some torn asunder. Shit got personal, and Grant and Mike are probably getting married.

We'd never heard of Vermont's Four Quarters Brewing before listener Scott Adams sent 6 of their beers to us. We also never thought Bill would be back on the show.

I think listener Juan Lopez is insane. Why else would he send a box of 6 of the best beers around to a podcast instead of drinking them? Maybe he has a brain parasite.

Look. I hope you realize that even though we're smashed by the second half, our opinions on these 5 beers are still somewhat valid. Also, neck babies, old people problems, and Trapped in the Closet.
