Welcome once again, neighbors, to a quick and easy episode of the podcast today! In this episode we discuss an overview on how we made this stout from the Brooklyn Brewshop sent to our friend Torry from a Bespoke.com subscription.   It was a Zoom recorded episode, so we have some video we did as well pieced together with clips from when we actually brewed the beer located at our youtube channel here: https://youtu.be/Hc6OEOl04fw If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail us at brewsboozeandreviews@hotmail.com.

Our first ever try with doing the podcast via Zoom Meeting, and it was kinda weird, but enjoyable! We sample and chat about a cellared beer, Big Ern's Bloody Beer recipe, Chef Kev's New Belgium IPA sampling of Experimental Series and Liquid Paradise, and Chris discusses the difference between two raspberry vanilla 'sour' beers. We also discuss some positive things to come out of the quarantine, and try to solve the frozen beer controversary.

This is the last episode we recorded in the dungeon just before the real serious quarantine hit us here in the MidWest, so there might be some outdated information spoken in this one. We busted out all the disinfectant and lysol wipes we could find, cleaned everything, and stayed at least 6' apart, but we still got to have some fun, and drug ourselves through 13 different beers to boot. Nox needed to clean out his beer fridge, so we took what he had collected the last couple of months, and threw down!  In this episode, we review All My Ghosts by Long Live Beerworks,  Dragon Fandango by Toppling Goliath, 180 Schilling and Barrel Aged Mountain Standard Double Black IPA from O'Dell Brewing, Thirst Encounters of the Third Kind by Blackstack Brewing, and Revelation Ale Works' Purple Ribbon Pilsner. Drekker came in big with  3 brews: Toon Dip DDH DIP Hopped DIPA (a collab with Fair State Brewing Cooperative), Evil-Natured Robots DIPA, and Chonk Peanut and Jelly Sundae Sour.  FInally we end the d

In the very last episode we recorded before the quarantine hit us at our homes, we record AFTER a previously aired episode was recorded. Why you may ask? Because we wanted to empty out our fridge to make room for some new releases in the upcoming season, of course! In this episode, we review Drekker's Danger Will Robinson and Flizzard imperial stouts, Deviation 01 from Revelation Ale Works, and three Game of Thrones inspired brews from Ommegang Brewery. Those three are the Winter is Here, Fire and Blood, and Take the Black Stout varietals. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail us at brewsboozeandreviews@hotmail.com.

Hey neighbors, Nox here! Here's just a small example of some outtakes that I saved this year. I started late, but I hope you enjoy these. I look forward to saving some more of these, and continue with the bandaids. Cheers!

Holy Cow, Batman! We made it a whole year! Drekker had us back to celebrate with a potluck to hang out with our friends, former guests, and family! We have as a very special guest one of the owners, and head of nerdery, Jesse Feigum. We also have a few of our guests that have been on previous episodes chat about their time with us, and help us review of few of Drekker's beers. Thanks to all you listeners and neighbors out there for a wild year, and we very much look forward to bringing you more content and laughs in the years to come!

You know, everyone needs a little break every now and then, right? Well, we thought so, and Big Ern wanted to do an episode about non-alcoholic brews just in case folks needed a taste test on what would be good.  So we saddled up in the ol' dungeon, and brought forth several of them for review.  In this episode, we sample O'Douls regular, Heineken 0.0, Busch NA, three different options from Surreal Brewing company (17-mile porter, Chandelier Red IPA, and Juicy Mavs Hazy IPA), and Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher.

Just in time for our BBR listeners to catch up on a little Irish Whisky experiment the week before St. Patrick's Day, we run the gauntlet with 5 different varieties. The first two are actually from the same brand; Jameson. One of them, however, is a stout cask version. We also samply Teeling Small Batch, The Whistler Double Oaked Small Batch, and West Cork's Bog Oak Charred Cask Single Malt. For the first time ever in the history of the podcast, we have to do a tiebreaker face off.  Who do you think will be in it?

A great man once said, "There are two rules to remember if you wanna have a good time. Rule number one, never run out of Colt 45. Rule number two, never forget rule number one." Well, Mr. Williams, we believe you just enough to have a podcast episode about just about that. Malt liquors, or fourties as a couple of us called them in high school (er, um, COLLEGE! Yeah, College!). In this one we sample Steel Brewing Company's High Gravity 211 Steel Reserve, Old English HG800, Colt 45, DrumConRath's Bison Brew, and Mickey's. The end of this one might be a little rough... If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail us at brewsboozeandreviews@hotmail.com.
