We stretch our comfort zones in this episode, and jump into the world of mead! We taste a homebrew, and two commercial versions, B. Nektar and Crafted Artisan Meadery – which do you think we prefer?
Plus we taste a bonus beer, Spencer, the first Trappist Ale to be brewed in the USA, and we don’t Monk-ey around! Cheers!
A special edition of the Pubcast today, where we have a great conversation with Beer Dogging torchbearer, Don DiBrita, and find out why 10,000 beer afficienados have joined this member organization. We also find out how you can enter a competition to become the #1 Beer Fan. Fancy your chances of being the next beer reality star?
We record a bumper edition at John’s Tavern – it would have been around an hour but John provided an unplanned beer that we just HAD to taste.
USBrit and Mark Naski are joined by Chuck Fort and John Karwoski – 4 big guys and 4 big beers.
We review 51st Ward’s Dr. Dankenstein’s What…Ever Double IPA, Noon Whistle’s first barrel aged bottle release Bob Ross Did It, Bells Brewery Planet series Neptune Imperial Stout, and Revolution’s 1ZEnuff, another Double IPA.
Do they match up to the title Big Beer – listen in below and find out!!
Guest IBG board member, Chet Brett from Church Street, joins us for some beer tastings and to tell us about what IBG is. We sample a Spruce Imperial Pilsner, an English-style bitter, an Overrated beer, and add one bean to an Imperial Porter. Mark Naski is on hand to keep things in order!
