Celebrate dropping balls with your favorite Indiana beer podcast... who has inexplicably started a tradition of reviewing spirits on New Year's Eve. We begin with Hotel Tango's Victor Vodka. Hotel Tango is a veteran owned distillery located in Indianapolis. We then artfully transition to a distillery a bit further South in Bloomington Indiana; Cardinal Spirits . We sample their Tiki Rum. It is a floral rum and it serves as the tipping point for the shenanigans on this New Year's Eve. Argument ensues as we move even further South to Borden Indiana home of the Huber Winery and Starlight Distillery and discuss our collective thoughts regarding their Gin. We end back in Indianapolis with B Street Blues Bourbon Whiskey from a newer distillery in the are, West Fork Whiskey . Enjoy an evening with us, then be sure to visit our other podcasting friends at the Hopped Up Network . "Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pre

Christmas! And this our fourth one of those. As always, we bring to you Anchor's Christmas Ale . This winter warmer has rich and creamy flavors that range from honey-nut to fruitcake plum. But lest we get ahead of ourselves, we kick things off with Evil Czech's , Stalin's Dark Side Imperial Stout. It's bourbon barrel aged with Woodford Reserve which we found to be thick, robust, dark and malty... like Adam's dates. We finish off the show by discussing Hallmark drinking games , offer a public service announcement, and explain Christmas traditions from both the Orient and Catalonia. While it's not normally recommended, this one is definitely an episode to listen to through the end. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a *creepy* GOODNIGHT!

Here it is, our second hour with Flat 12's , EZ and Phil . In this hour we sign Pete up for another binge eating contest scheduled for July, 4th. We do also discuss more future releases from Flat 12 and were privileged enough to sample their 12 Days of Christmas release from last year, a Belgian Tripel. We wrap up by discussing our favorite budget beers, our least favorite beer styles, and the first beer we ever had. Great behind the scenes discussion with a couple of great guys.

We're back again with another "two-parter" from a brewery. This week we feature, Flat 12 Bierwerks from wonderful downtown Indianapolis. We were able to speak with brewer, Erik "EZ" Fox and sales manager extraordinaire, Phil Hilligoss . Sadly, we were down a podcaster. Adam was forced to go to Hawaii for 3 days and while he was back in Indiana for the show, he had not yet fully recovered from his island journey. Let us all join together in a moment of silence for the hardships he had to endure... Now that we've got that out of the way. The episode is jam-packed with exciting 2018 beer release discussion and a review of Flat 12's Felicette Belgium Dry-Hopped Pale and their Pinko! Russian Imperial Stout. Discussion then takes a momentary turn from beer discussion and we focus on Nicholas Cage movies, the right way to "shotgun" a beer, and cannibalism in Japan. If you liked the first half, be sure to give the second a listen too !
