Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at thespeakpodcast! As the weather turns cooler, porter season is upon us. We sample an offerings from Four Day Ray and Horny Goat Brewing . We should give an honorable mention to DuClaw as well as Sweet Baby Jesus did make an appearance on this episode. Mute the commentary during the Macy's Day Parade and listen to us while you watch the balloons float by! 

Thanksgiving Leftovers

Sherpas, goats, and leftover fridge beer. Adam screws up the rating scale again and we have pointless arguments. If you didn't bicker enough at the kid's table this year for Thanksgiving, listen in to us arguing like idiots! We do (eventually) discuss some offerings from Scarlet Lane , DuClaw , and Centerpoint Brewing . Also, as is tradition, Adam gets a Holiday swear.

Collaboration Thanksgiving

The parade is over! But why should that mean you are forced to interact with family and/or friends? Why not wander off and put in your earbuds and celebrate with your favorite podcast? Oh, because Joe Rogan didn't care enough about you to release a podcast today? That's cool, because we did. We celebrate this Thanksgiving by talking about three collaboration beers. In the spirit of the holiday, different brewers got together and brought something to the table when they made their beers. This lineup features: 1.

A Cardinal Spirits Thanksgiving Day Super Fail

It's Thanksgiving! And for those of you looking to enjoy spending quality time with family huddled around a computer or smart device listening to your favorite podcast, we're here for you. Or, sink the podcast up with the Macy's Day Parade and see what that sounds like (spoiler alert: they don't sync up). As is it Thanksgiving, we blew the budget and brought in special celebrity guest, Matt Muncy from Indiana on Tap. Instead of the traditional maize, he brought us booze from Cardinal Spirits Black Bear Bierschnaps and Walnut Nocino and Teddy Bear Kisses from Upland Brewing . Be forewarned, this is probably more fun than your normal Thanksgiving table conversation, but there is an equal amount of cross-talk and argument as well. Due to radio magic, there is however less swearing! We also let Adam "free-hand" his microphone. Note to self(es), never ever again.
