Johnny Starts out this weeks episode with a shout out to some of our overseas listeners that have had a HUGE uptake in our numbers the last few weeks, thanks for listening folks, VERY much appreciated! Starting out with making fun of ai robots, ai and a mild misuse of phone assistant voice prompts, the guys do finally get into their first beverage of the day! Conversation seems to devolve quite quic...

Episode 131: Guess What Joined by Mr. Jeff (aka Jipper, aka Duffman, definitely NOT late for beer though...) the guys start out with a potentially questionable beverage in terms of how it was stored before purchase. It brings on some discussion about making choice beer selections when shopping around. Brother Darrell was a bit late to this episode and for whatever reason, with Mr. Jeff filling in, it seems he managed to keep the ep...

Episode 130: We start at 10 It was raining HEAVILY when we recorded this, the guys have a bit of a slower start this week but fear not, we eventually get to the beer!!

Episode 126: Good Golly After a brief and most wonderful serenade by Brother Darrell, and the realization Johnnys computer is literally falling apart, the guys finally kick the episode off with a few wonderful cider selections from Mr. Jim's collection. Good conversation this time about apples, apple trees and the cider processing, the guys get into other stories as always, like how at last weeks trivia, Johnny won a sugar scrub an...

Episode 125: 22 Second Skip Not exactly sure what happened with this one, to Darrells delight, there were issues getting one of todays samples to open so we ended up skipping a whole bottle of wonderful (per Johnnys stance anyhow...) cherry wine. We did manage to recover with an absolutely FANTASTIC selection from a local maker followed by the lone beer the guys had in todays episode. Johnny did manage to get some of the "bonus" wi...

Episode 124: Hey Zach we got your mom drunk

Everything was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and ...

Episode 123: Episode 123 HA! That seemed like a funny title when I was editing so I rolled with it... ANYWAYS, we start our sort of salute to Valentines days with Johnny's sad and depressing plans for the night then get into a PHENOMENAL selection of beers we have for this week. While there is certainly some BS as always that you all have come to know and love, there was a lot of good beer talk with these beers this week. I'll keep...

Episode 122: Rule of the Parrots The guys are joined by a new guest, long time friend of Johnny's, Mr. Kevin!

Stories abound from last nights dinner and beers gathering at Mr. Jims house, also some stories from California, stuff about hot peppers and a bunch of other stuff. Pretty heavy beer related episode and MOSTLY on topic throughout but still lots of fun and funny stuff! There's more but I am EXHA...

Episode 120: Reach for the Starrs Well, it happened again, the guys were out of beer so they did a whole episode about Starr Craft brews, including a couple of new beers not yet available!

Part way through they are rejoined by Mr. Matt aft...

Amid the random selection of tales this wee...

First and foremost, apologies for Johnnys coughing, got some lingering BS going on that's been REALLY annoying. The episode stays mostly on topic again with a good variety of different beer from Firestone, PLENTY of side stories of...
