Hi there loyal listeners! We're breaking our routine and not talking about blondes this go-around. 18th Street Brewery put out a refreshing beverage with hints of grapefruit, Rise of The Angels. So we start there and then veer directly off course and move on to a cider offering from Angry Orchard . After that, things just get weird. There's a lot of discussion of crabs, cheese, and heists. Maybe not one of our more informative episodes, but certainly one to sit down and enjoy with a beer or twelve. Cheers!

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!

In honor of the abbreviated work week, we're releasing another episode in our, "shorty" series. This shorty takes us on location to Books and Brews in Zionsville. We heard from our secret industry sources that the Zionsville location has a revamped food menu and is now family friendly. Family friendly of course means that children are allowed so we brought Adam who promptly found the crayons and a place mat and proceeded to begin coloring. His night culminated with an embarrassing tic-tac-toe loss to intern, Steve. We squeeze beer, humor, and pointless banter in to a bite-sized 15 minutes of fun. Enjoy!

As is probably apparent, we're a few beers in at this point and we decide to add a few more. We sampled Space Haze from 450 North, 3 Floyds Floy Division India Pale Ale I, and Destihl's Blueberry Gose. Be sure to visit 812 Farms at the 8th Annual GnawBrew from September the 15th through the 17th. And, then again on September the 23rd at 450 North's Corn Maze Beer Fest. They will most assuredly be events you won't forget... Or, if you're doing it right, events you'll never be able to remember. Lastly, special shout-outs this episode to the following: Indianapolis Public Library, Jeff Vibbert, and Iron Valley Barbell

Our first ever two part episode! The guys from 812 Farms decided to drive all the way up from Columbus to have a beer and talk hops with us. In the first half of our conversation we talked future plans for 812 Farms and consumed a dry hopped IPA from 450 North Brewing Company, Fruity Nuggets. Oh, and be sure to head to the farm this Saturday with the ladies from Indy Girls Pint Out and tour the facilities, pick some hops, and enjoy some food and beer. Cheers!

Thanks for tuning in to our wheat beer triple header! So, this one lingered in the archives longer than most. Was it simply because it was neglected on an external hard drive? Could it be that Pete simply couldn't deal with the pain of LeBron failing to bring another championship to "The 'Land?" We may never know. Let's kick things off with an American Style Wheat Beer Bloomington Brewing Company, it's their 10 Speed Hoppy Wheat! Our next beers come from Magic Hat Brewing Company (Special thanks to Ryan Swan) We partake in their split sixer and sample both the Cirus Boy and Zirkus Boy Hefe's. Listen, enjoy, and tell your friends!

Our last episode featuring porters was such a hit, we thought we’d try it again. Devil’s Trumpet Brewing Company’s War Horn Porter starts the shows. Well, a large amount of shenanigans start the show, but the first beer we “review” is War Horn. Next, from Stone Brewing we have their 6 th Anniversary porter from their 20 th Anniversary re-issue collection. Which is confusing and hard to follow. But rest assured, we offer no additional clarity.  Special shout-out to Delaware Dan for his submission to our re-occurring segment, “HOLD MY BEER!” Trust me when I say, Dan's story is too good to miss. So, be sure to stay tuned until the end. Also, we'll have to check with our statistician, but I believe this show may be a new record for most ever censor "bleeps."
