Episode 96: About Clams

Episode 96: About ClamsJohnny was poking at Jims nerves a bit in the beginning but they finally get off to a start with a fantastic selection from Transient! Jim starts off with tales of his visit to Transient and how wonderful their place was, some more stories from random stuff and bs from all the guys and I won't lie, I was working on other things while proof editing this one and kinda forgot to make a complete set of notes... OH! there was a lot of conspiracy ai theory stuff and then there was some weird stuff going on with the last beer, I do remember that much haha. Oh well, no one reads these anyways so IF by some chance you do, thanks first off but just sit back and enjoy the show!!

Episode 95: MUCH Better Episode

Episode 95: MUCH Better EpisodeJohnny wraps up the fate of the cans from last week, the guys talk about hot sauces. There's a fair amount of BS and promotion of a show favorite business this week, Darrel brings up about an ai summary of a previous episode he messed with that COMPLETELY IGNORED Jim in the entire summary! With a flashback of a paperclip character we all know and love then moving on to some discussion of show favorite Mr. Bill and some more weird conversation, we are starting to think the guys shouldn't be left to this long of a break between shows... I know this description is all over the place but SUPER tired, kinda just gonna roll with it!! Ya.... these stories are just all over the place this episode though we get into a lot of good conversation about what we're drinking still! Yep, there's enough text here, I'd done writing the description, just listen to and enjoy the episode!!

Episode 94: Maybe Skip This One

Episode 94: Maybe Skip This OneAfter a bit of a iffy start due to a minor equipment issue, the guys get right into what ended up being a NOT great episode for them... There really wasn't a favorite this time of planned beverages and overall they DID NOT have a good time this week. It was to a point they packed it up and went home after recording this, there wasn't even a kill shot on facebook from what they drank this day... HOWEVER, somehow they managed to turn it into an episode still (saved by the one and only beer they had this time) so we regrettably give you and episode you should probably skip, brought to you with random stuff from Jim's fridge! HOWEVER, if you have read this far, you're PROBABLY going to listen anyways (if you've even read this that is...) so listen at your own peril and maybe enjoy, or not all I can say is, I did in fact warn you!!! Tune in next week to what I can almost guarantee will be a better episode!

Episode 93: Fruits of Wisconsin

Episode 93: Fruits of Wisconsin
On a recent trip to visit Johnnys sister in Minnesota (hello btw!) their dad and her visited a favorite store of hers across the border into Wisconsin to get Johnny and the guys a taste of Wisconsin, thus we have here an entire episode of beers the guys sample and discuss from New Glarus!! A few you have heard the guys discuss before but there are several new additions AND they are able to compare some slight differences noticed between the glass bottle and canned versions of Spotted Cow. So sit back and enjoy this weeks episode and if you happen to pass through Wisconsin, stop at a store and grab some New Glarus while you're there!! Of course and as always, still a fair amount of BS mixed within this episode too, towards the end especially. OH! and, if you happen across a new flavor the guys have NOT discussed, maybe grab an extra or two for us please and thank you!! Also, Hi Fabain figured it's only fair to add the shout out here too haha!!!

Episode 92: Good to be Here

Episode 92: Good to be HereWelcoming back Adam, the guys start right into the beer this episode. The content is mostly on topic with BS sprinkled in between beers this episode. They do get into a bit of discussion of pyramid schemes so that made for some fun conversation for awhile and conspiracy talk of the book-it program... The guys get into a bunch of other discussions about halfway through the episode that is quite entertaining. Johnny has a bad flashback to the Pig Porter beer the guys had a few weeks ago and then they move on. It gets to a conversation point of a drinking game Johnny and his buddy Ed are creating and some rule suggestions for said game and rounding the episode out, Mr. Jim talks about some of his trip to Antigua before bringing the episode to a close with a sort of short preview of what's coming next week!!

Episode 91: Land of the Cobra Chicken

Episode 91: Land of the Cobra ChickenJoined by new guest to the show Adam, he shared with the guys some wonderful beers from the great white north. The guys begin the day with some fresh beer selections of the dessert/breakfast variety before getting into the selections from Adam. For the most part the episode stays on topic for some weird reason so there's not too much fun stuff I can use in the description here, wonder if we can keep that up next week or not!? Starting some stories with clowns and a brief touch on how Johnny almost got tazzed once, THEN finally get into the heart of the shows title.

Episode 88: How'd You Get in Here

Episode 88: How'd You Get in HereThis episode starts with something special... More odd and questionable though we assure you all he REALLY was just fulfilling a promise made back during the bottle share a few months ago, and maybe a bit of hair of the dog from the wedding he was at the day before recording, congrats again to Mr. Matt, who has been on the show a few times, and his new wife Ashley!! Joined again by brewery regular Bob the Gray, the show starts out following the opening BS with some MORE BS then getting right into the beers. There are a decent variety of beers in this episode, some of which shared by Mr. Bob and we finally got to the beers Johnny grabbed at a gas station when he was in Ohio awhile back.  Somehow they all manage to stay on topic most of the episode, probably because there were so many beers to get through but nonetheless mixed in with some fun BS as always. Overall a  great enjoyable show with lots of beer talk so sit back, kick up your feet (unless you're driving then don't do that, it's a VERY bad idea...)  and enjoy this episode with the finest of your favorite beverages (again non alcoholic of course if you're driving)!!

Episode 87: Mystery Can 2.5

Episode 87: Mystery Can 2.5With brother Darrel ALMOST giving away the surprise final beverage at the beginning of this episode, he and Johnny TRY to pull over a "mystery can" (with a trick can) surprise on Mr. Jim... In doing the best they could to commit to the part to TRY and pull this over on him, they TOTALLY failed, thus the .5 part of the title... We WILL try again, and probably shouldn't try and do it with Jim's 2nd holiest (2nd to Jameson) of alcohol producers of 3 Floyds as the trick can... Don't worry though, we do the ACTUAL beer later in the episode and get back on track of REAL beer, you know, the actual content of the show... With some interesting stories of sailing, sailboats and an increasingly buzzed Johnny calling sail boaters out for something (seriously guys, FOLLOW THE FLAGS...) the guys somehow manage to stay mostly on topic and discuss the fantastic beverages on the show this week! Until the final selection that is and for any details on that, I guess you're just going to have to listen to the episode!!
EDIT: Ya, sure I realized AFTER writing all that, the beverage was tagged below (not that anyone ACTUALLY reads these anyways haha), I'm still not changing this though, just listen to the show and TRUST me, as much as Johnny hates it, it is funny as hell...
