Episode 47: Rollin Rollin Rollin

Welcoming first time guest Alex to the show, the guys start right off this episode with beer talk and a minor concern of flashbacks to the explosive beers a few weeks ago and an Brother Darrells absolute favorite flavor in beer number one, Cherry! A discussion of different brewery visits and vanilla moves into tales of river float downs, Mr. Jims trip went WAY better than Johnnys though! Moving onto some of the beers Alex brought, the guys for the most part stay on topic about beer this episode. Ending the first episode in this recording session with some more fun stories and a loose plan for a brew day, the guys quickly get back on topic of beer and end the episode.

Episode 46: HOLY HOTNESS

In this special EXTENDED release episode covering the fifth year anniversary party for Starr Craft Brewery, the guys hosted a special live outdoor recording of the Hot-wing Challenge event at the party. With a number of special guests for the show, the guys give a brief intro and review of the event with in-studio guest Alex who was also there at the event. Followed by a selection of clips from the show. We couldn't quite include EVERYTHING recorded that day, so we had to narrow it down a bit... Also featured from the event, a special interview with Michael Scalici of Scalici's Wood Fired Pizza and a presentation of an AWESOME update coming to the brewery very soon!! Finishing this episode off is a discussion of a staple seasonal beer in the Starr Craft collection.

Episode 45: Hey Hey Hey Hey

Off to an unusually relaxed BS-less start to this weeks episode, the guys get into the first beer with some hints of Johnnys nemesis, coffee, the general consensus is that there are more chocolate notes overall, which he appreciated! While discussing some ways to improve the first beer, Father Darrell makes a brief appearance in the taproom however doesn't join the guys, maybe next time. While off track, as per a story Jim had seen, the guys discuss some challenges of judging a particular event... Johnny utters some words that we STILL don't believe, he ACTUALLY said he might be on board with dumping a beer!!! After a bit of beer festival talk and following the ad break, a new guest arrives at the brewery, upon their arrival and realizing the recording time is dwindling to finish the show this week, the guys get back on track a bit and into their next beer. As the BS begins to grow, and PAYING customers start coming into the brewery, the guys decide to end it for the week. Tune in next week for more On point and wonderful good high quality talk about beer and brewing!! Hopefully... Ok, just a maybe on that one... Or just tune in to enjoy the BS part, whatever floats your boat!

Episode 44: So NOW now we're _______ Startin

Well that certainly was an interesting start to the episode... Anyways, with a brief discussion of the newest and LARGEST sponsor (ok, maybe just an average size sponsor..) the guys get into their first beer of the show brought to us by Brother Phil. One of Johnnys most favorite beer categories of all time, coffee... Moving onto a discussion of some other beer categories, the guys discuss the possibility and challenges of brewing through some of the categories on the BJCP list. Conversation sidetracks a bit to some talk of a current meme in social media, at least as this was recorded anyways, ya'll have probably forgotten about it by the time this episode drops I'm sure... Moving on through some other BS, the guys FINALLY get into the next beer before Jim tries to run off with the podcasting gear having to take an abrupt 2nd commercial break, tune in to find out why AND to hear what happens after that because I'm done writing details for this episode...

Episode 43: No Judgements

Johnny tells the story of how the recording day started, it was born from a fantastic dream that turned into sitting across from the guys drinking beers. Not that it would have helped had they NOT called, probably a better spent day anyhow... ANYWAYS, the guys get into some beers provided by regular Guest Becky! A fun story from Johnnys friend, who was quickly remembered to be Darrell!! It took the guys far longer than it should have to realize that though... Then a fun story about a marketplace transaction that went VERY wrong for Johnny... Moving onto the next beer and a BRIEF discussion on the High Gravity brewed beers that were started "in February..." with that wicked storm too... Moving onto some whiskey talk the guys get into some of their favorites before finishing out the episode.

Episode 42: And We're Back!

Starting this episode off with Mr. Jim welcoming you all back to the sideshow and joined by our special guest again, MR. Bill! This episode gets into some FANTASTIC Darklord beers and as always, being our third episode in this recording set, this is a fun one! While staying a bit more on topic, thank you to Mr. Bill for that, this is a beer and brewing heavy episode though still with good (topic related) stories and plenty of the BS you have all come to know and love! Or not love, but if you don't love the third and predominant element of the show, why listen? Eh, just enjoy and have fun with it!!

Episode 41: The Elder The Younger

Joined again this week by Mr Bill and starting with some tales of a weekend in Colorado the guys FINALLY get to the intro and progress into the show! Mr. Jeffs son (many thanks again sir!) brought a rather uncommon beer for the guys to get into and with such a unique description of the smell as it is opened, you'll have to listen to the show for more details and how they liked the taste... The guys move on from there and discuss some other odd styles of beers and about Belgium beer festivals and some of their differences compared to American festivals. Coming back to the United States, the guys get back into some more FANTASTIC home brew mead of Mr. Bills with a SUPER unique mead he made with African honey and follow along with more home brews and brewing talk. Lots of mead and brewing talk in this episode so tune in and enjoy!!

Episode 39: Wait, We're Recording?

Welcome to the grapefruit episode! We get into a few grapefruit beers this episode and for the most part stay on topic, unlike the last couple episodes at least at first. A fun short story from Darrell about running over his brother with a truck, turning into talks about some great tv shows and then a call to a commercial break as Johnny had an important call he had to take... Coming back from an extended break discussing some tasting techniques by the regulars and then the rest of the show pretty much goes off the rails... OH, and a special guest appearance by regular Mark, previous guest host Kellies husband as the table tries the new beer from Starr Craft "Finja". Ok, MAYBE it's SOMEWHAT related to brewing in talk of rice and grains a bit, but most of the show after the commercial is a SOLID bunch of BS that we all know and love so much! Listen to the episode today for a very calming and special enjoyable reading by Mr. Jim!

Episode 38: I Can Do The Food

With one of the most interesting show openers yet, we immediately start off with the BS you have all come to know and love and we are graced with the presence of more live audience members! Then as usual, we get into beers finally but with A LOT of heavy innuendos and BS this episode. Somehow and for some reason, is it actually JOHNNY keeping this episode on topic this week!? Well, trying at least it seems. Then it all just gets weird and we opt to end it before we have to change the shows rating again...
