The Sluggard: Craft Beverage Podcast

We accidentally recorded too many Thanksgiving-ish episodes, so we decided to release one this week.  We try an Oktoberfest from St. George, a red ale from Maine Beer Company (Red Wheelbarrow), and a chardonnay barrel aged saison from Ballast Point that contains honeydew (Tres Street).  Cheers!

Today there is some random chatter about pee, but also we talk beer.  We try 3 Floyds Wig Splitter Oatmeal Stout, Hardywood Christmas Pancakes, and Estonia's own Pohjala Brewing Barrel-aged Gruit.  Cheers!

Today we try an Icelandic beer as we rank our most overrated beer styles.  

This is a special mini-episode recorded for the season.  It contains one of our favorite beer of all time.  Hardywood Gingerbread Stout.  For comparison we also try Kentucky Christmas Morning by the same brewery.  Cheers!

Today we have a brew from New Grass Brewing, Acht Schlenkerla, and Wicked Weed.  We also get off on tangent after tangent.

Today we try out four Troeg's Mad Elfs.  These are all from different years

Today is a bit different.  We countdown the top 5 breweries we are each thankful for.  SPOILER:  Steven loves Macro-lagers1

Back to beer after a quick moonshine break, the guys try a terrible comic book inspired beer from Gigantic Brewing, an interesting Jamaican stout from Red stripe, and Terrapin's Beerista variety of Wake-n-Bake stout.

Today the fellas decide apple pie "moonshine" is not their thing.  They try two varieties from Gatlinburg, TN and a third from some random hobo in the woods.  

Today we partake in several great beer.  The first from Great Divide is a Wood Werks Imperial Rye Brown.  The second is a Cider Doughnut cider from Beak and Skiff in New York (which Jon calls a beer over and over again).  And finally we have a brilliant collaboration from Weathered Ground (WV) and Fonta Flora (NC) that is a very special Farmhouse Ale.  Cheers!

Today we try Agrestic by Firestone Walker, Sexual Chocolate by Foothills, and Shattered Dreams from Siren Craft Beer.  Steven goes on politically incorrect rant while Jon brags about his mediocre 5k time.

Today we try an apricot Tripel from Braserie Dieu De Ciel! in Canada.  We also bask in the hop juices of Parkway's  Save the Galaxy and Lagunitas' Waldo's Special Ale.  Cheers!

Tonight we talk about the good, bad, and ugly of pumpkin beer.  We try two offerings from Elysian Brewing as well as a Bbn Bbl pumpkin stout by Clown Shoes

Tonight we try a Fuller's Reserve Ale from 2018, a Destihl Rye Barrel Russian Imperial Stout from 2016, and a well aged Prairie Artisan Paradise Stout with Coconut.  We also spend some time bitching about the old beer snobs we have to deal with at bars.

Today we try out a Decadent Toaster Pastry Ale and a bourbon aged offering from one of our favorites, Hardywood.  Also Jon, being a moron, confuses his off-flavors in an effort to sound like he knows what he is talking about.

Today the guys spend too much time berating 80's action stars.  They also try a few beer from Abomination Brewing, Olde Hickory, and Hoof Hearted.  Also the first attempt at a rating system goes hilariously off the rails.

Today we sip on a few brews picked up on travels through the area.  Two beer come from Nelson Co., Virginia.  Those are WIldman Dan Crooked Room Saisson and Devil's Backbone Rye of Sunshine.  Also out of Louisville, KY we are trying Attila the Hen from Against the Grain.  Cheers! 

Tonight we try a Canadian Chili Stout and a sour from the West Coast.

Tonight the fellas try two very different brown ales.  One by Schafly and another from the old stand by, The Bruery.

Tonight Jon and Steven partake in a winter ale from the tiny Haw River Brewing Company in Saxapawhaw, NC.  They also drink and complain about the price of offerings by the Breury.

Today Steven and I are trying a Pils from Ardent in Richmond, VA.  Also we talk some shit over (not about) an American-made Eisbock.

Today we tried a few excellent beer from the heart of Nashville, TN.  A Blueberry Cobbler Sour from Southern Grist and an Imperial Peanut butter Stout from Tailgate Brewing.

Tonight we try a Pilsner from NC and a Stout from Salt Lake City.  Things get interesting and mildly offensive.
