Fri, 28 August 2009 We picked up Tommyknocker’s Oaked
Butt Head Bock, partly because we had never seen a beer described as “oaked”.
Tuned out an “oaked” beer is similar to its bourbon barrel cousin, which is not
a bad thing at all. Do you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments? Send

Fri, 21 August 2009 The Chicago area brewers have been good to us. So we pulled from there again to try the Two Brothers Brewing Company’s North Wind Imperial Stout.

Fri, 7 August 2009 Up to this point our panel has only identified two American made hefeweizens that deserve the name. Both come from Nebraska and while we are sure there are more, they appear to be scarce. So our friend Brian M. brought with him Sierra Nevada‘s Hefewezien claiming it passed. We also enjoyed a Mocha Porter from Rogue Brewing Company out of Oregon. Full show notesDo you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments? Send

Fri, 24 July 2009 To reward our diligent test subjects we brought in Boulevard
Brewing Co.'s Imperial Stout. Seemed appropriate to have a malty beer
to finish the hops challenge. The six week hops challenge came to an end. Our results were split. Marissa went from disliking hops to finding good flavors in hoppy beers. Brian M remained the same throughout the test. He understands why people use hops, but it is not a flavor he enjoys.

Fri, 17 July 2009 To keep pace with beers we have been drinking this Summer we brought
out New Belgium's Abbey Ale. Goose Island has been good to us in the
past, so we decided to bring out their IPA in honor of the hops
challenge. Week five of the hops Challenge. This week Marissa actually came to enjoy the hops. Enough that she graded that IPA in this show higher than Brian or I. Brian M. continued to stay stable. He is still not a fan of hops. Complete show notes Do you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments?

Fri, 10 July 2009 Brian M was kind enough to bring a couple beers we hadn't tried,
the Orange Blossom Cream Ale form Buffalo Bill's Brewing and the Blue Star
Wheat for North Coast Brewing. Both beers of summer. Week four of the hops challenge came in. We are starting to see a change in perception of hoppy beers. Marissa reported that the beer didn't taste like weeds this time and it went down smoother and the hops hit more in the aftertaste. However she is still not a lover of hops but can tolerate them better now. Brian M. on the other hand reported little to no change in hops perception.

Fri, 3 July 2009 We tried a beer new to our market the Koenig Ludwig Hefe-Weizen
from Kaltenberg. Imported from Germany it is a solid decent wheat beer, but
does it have the three flavors of a hefeweizen? Week three of the hops challenge concluded. Both test subjects said it was a little improves this week. Enjoyment still not a word they would use for the experiment. Complete show notes Do you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments?

Fri, 26 June 2009 Finishing off the Schell sampler pack this week we grade the Pilsner and the Pale Ale. Week two of the hops challange concluded. Again little change in perception. Hopefully in the next couple week we will get to the good stuff. Complete show notes Do you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments?

Fri, 19 June 2009 Taking a break from the Schell's we were given a chance to try a
couple new beers. Brian M. brought Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy
and Mad River Brewing's Steelhead Scotch Style Porter. Next week we will finish the
beers we acquired from the August Schell Brewing Co. Week one of the hops challenge concluded. As expected there was little change.

Fri, 12 June 2009 This week was the second of our Schell's Brewing podcasts. We
looked at another beer from the August Shell's Brewery in New Ulm,
Minnesota. Always on the quest for good beer we sampled some beer from a local brewer. Three beers all of good quality with a some lively discussion. We also started the four week Hops Challenge™. Devised by a wise beer sage in Kearney, NE, it is an experiment to see whether a love of hops can be acquired.

Fri, 5 June 2009 This week featured the first of three episodes reviewing the beers
of Schell's Brewing. We tried their dark, maifest, and stout with mixed
results. For music this week, we featured Marc Gunn's tribute to a great BBC sci-fi comedy
with his song The Mining Ship Red Dwarf. If you have never seen Red
Dwarf, it is available on DVD and is one of the greatest TV shows ever
made, in our humble opinion. Complete show notes Do you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments? Send them to info@brewcast.net or call 402-817-0351 and leave us a voicemail. Thanks for listening Comments[0] | ||||||||||||||||
Wed, 27 May 2009 We finished up the beers Ryan acquired on his trip to Chicago
this week. We enjoyed a bready farmhouse ale and a very stout brown
ale. Always nice when both beers are tasty. We are sure the good
people of take pride in their local breweries. No time for music to
drink to this week, but we'll see if we can't fit it in next week. Complete show notes Do you have a suggestion for a beer we should try or any other comments? Send them to info@brewcast.net or call 402-817-0351 and leave us a voicemail. Thanks for listening Comments[0] | ||||||||||||||||
Fri, 22 May 2009 Trying three beers at 11% and higher ABV is probably a questionable practice, but we did it anyway. In order of ABV and tasting; Quadrium Ale from Urthel Samaranth (11%), Belzebuth from Brasserie Grain D'Orge (13%), and The Beast from Avery Brewing (16.31%). For music we pulled a band that we've enjoyed many times. The Dust Rhinos and their song Here's to You. Think Budweiser's real men of genius ads in catchy song form. Good stuff.

Fri, 15 May 2009 This week we sampled three dark beer
from Norway. All three good solid dark beers. In the group was a double
extreme imperial wheat stout. As promised a far more inspiration song from Jonathan Coulton this week. We featured his song A Talk With George. Good stuff, puts things into perspective.

Fri, 8 May 2009 We thought it would be fun to go to extremes this week. Bringing
in Lucky beer from Australia and Sierra Nevada's Torpedo Double IPA.
The contrast of a light lager and a double IPA seemed like a good idea
and fun to try. for the music this week we enjoyed a little Jonathan Coulton. Always good stuff. Complete show notes. Comments[0] | ||||||||||||||||
Fri, 1 May 2009 The Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas is celebrating its 100th
year anniversary this year. To commemorate the event they released their
aptly named 100 Commemorator brew and brought back the Kosmo's Reserve
Lager. Having had the opportunity to enjoy some of their beer in the
past we thought we should give this pair a go. If there is one song that represents our panel it is The Jedi Drinking Test by the Dust Rhinos. Mix a little Celtic style with Star Wars references and beer drinking and we're good to go. For the complete reviews from this week's episode click HERE.

Sat, 25 April 2009 We took a trip out to Thunderhead Brewing in Kearney, Nebraska. Always a
fun to place to visit. We did some product testing on their award
winning Golden Frau at different ages and stored in difficult
conditions. A good time had by all. For the full reviews of the beers click HERE. Comments[0] | ||||||||||||||||
Fri, 17 April 2009 Beers
of the Week: Beer: Dead Goat Porter Brewery: Goose Island Notes: Nice robust flavors of caramel, chocolate, and roasted malt. A sweet and enjoyable beer. It would go well with a steak seasoned with pepper and garlic or most deserts. If you happen to be in Chicago we definitely recommend it.
Music to Drink to: A favorite of the group and in honor of tax time we played Corporste Whore's Anthem. Great lyrics and a catchy tune. Thanks again to the Podsafe Music Network for the assist.

Fri, 10 April 2009 Beers
of the Week: Beer: Guinness 200 Year Anniversary Stout Brewery: Guinness Brewery at St James Gate in Dublin, Ireland Notes: A little thin and very smooth. More malt than we remember in the Draught Can and significantly more flavor than in the draught bottle we tested in the Guinness Challenge. Nice overall with tastes of chocolate and coffee.
Music to Drink to: Pulling an approriate song, we played Skankin Pickles Thick Ass Stout. Solid piece overall It was inspired by a friend of the shows and Brewmaster Richard Steuven.

Fri, 3 April 2009 Beers
of the Week Beer: Hefeweizen Brewery: Oak Creek Brewing Company Notes: An overall nice American wheat. Slight hints of banana and bubblegum in the flavor. Nice refreshing beer great for summertime.
Beer: Kiltlifter Scotish Ale Brewery: Four Peaks Brewery Notes: The batch we tried on the show had DMS, vegetal, and a strong acetalaldehyde flavor. It is our hope that something went wrong with this batch. We will try it again in the future to determine if that is true.
