Episode 041 - Otter Creek Winter Ale, Regenboog t'Smisje IPA Plus

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:41:17 GMT

We start off with Otter Creek's Winter Ale, which is infused with raspberries. We've had inconsistent luck with fruit-infused beer - could this one be different? Then we try out a small-batch brew from the minute Regenboog brewery in Belgium, their t'Smisje IPA+, which may really be a Strong Belgian Pale Ale.

Episode 037 - Cristal, Toohey's New

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 16:25:02 GMT

Two completely under-impressive beers, one from South America, the other from Australia. Both represent mass-produced beers from their regions, and unfortunately, it's evident in the quality.

Episode 011 - Non-Alcoholic Beers

There's not a whole lot to love about beer without alcohol in it. Unfortunately, we found out that flavor topped the list of "cons."

Episode 008 - Recession-Proof Beers!

Wed, 21 May 2008 18:23:07 GMT

The economy is tight - dare I say we're in a recession? We'll leave that to the experts, but most people are having to tighten their belts a little.That doesn't mean you should have to give up on beer! We talk about three "recession-proof" beers - cheap beers that can be had for less than $1/beer, but that don't completely lack taste or desire. Put down that Miller Light or Bud Light and try out a couple of beers you may never have heard of (and one I can almost guarantee you have) and learn to have a beer on the cheap!
