Sour beers are a divisive group of brews. You got your old school took-a-long-time-to-master sours like lambics n such, and you have the new school pack-as-much-fruit-as-possible-until-you-cant-taste-beer sours. Here, we finish the discussion about what sour beers are, the different kinds of sours, and how they're made. We invite Don back as a guest host, and our special guest, one-half of Beware The Vine (our theme song writers), Aimee Klein is here to hang out and possibly sing us some telegrams?

In this episode we sample and review Stacked Deck Brewing's Astronaut Sauce with mango, guava, and pineapple, Oliphant Brewing's Squall Me Squishmael banana and almond sour, Junkyard Brewing's Nuance Strikes Back pink pepper and lemon zest saison sour and Muir Dry Hopped Foudre Sour along with their Bohemian Flex guava peach and tangerine gose, Rodenbach Grand Cru, and the ever present Duchesse De Bourgogne from Brouwerij Verhaeghe.

Listen at the end of this episode for the full version of Sex, Drugs, and Cabaret by Beware The Vine.

Dry January. Starting on the 1st and going without alcohol of any kind until February 1st. That idea is catching on globally, and for some it's a way to hit the reset button, make some pandemic-inspired resolutions, and find new ways to relax and destress. Starting in 2013 in the UK with around 4,000 people, it has now reached millions of folks who are just wanting to make some healthier choices for a month.

In this episode, good ol' guest #2 Ben is back to hang with the BBR crew. Today we sample and review the Citra Lager, IPA, Black Ale, and Coffee Stout from Hairless Dog brewing, and follow it up at the end with Lagunitas Brewing's IPNA.

We know we should have put out this episode on champagnes/sparkling wines two weeks ago, but things have been hectic and busy at the BBR studio. So instead we release today's show in celebration of heading into year three of us telling dad jokes, learning new things, and generally getting a bit tipsy with you our listeners! We even harken back to our first year and get one of the BBR founders Andrea Anderson back on the show, along with our lovely guest #2 Ben Revier. We had the intention of doing just spumantes, but then we did a little bit of research and realized how laughable that was. BBR crew got through it only slightly scathed, but there's just something about sparkling wines that gets everyone in a giggly mood.

Today we sample and review J. Roget Spumante, Fitvine prosecco spumante brut, Risata Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Chandon Sweet Star, and Moet's Moet & Chandon Nectar Imperial.

Well folks, it's definitely winter time here in the upper midwest of the US, because this past week we finally got our first blizzard of the year. And what do you do when it's cold as hell out? You snuggle in for some tasty brews by your partner, and bake up some holiday cookies or treats, all while sitting in front of a nice fire. One of the few good things we like about this season is the robust, hearty flavor of stouts and porters. On this episode, we wanted to take a closer look at the sweeter side of this fine beer, and dive into pastry stouts.

In this show we sample and review six by Drekker Brewing: Bourbon Barrel Aged Flizzard with the variants of Oreo, Snickers, and Butterfinger, followed by their What Lies Beneath Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with cacao, coffee, and vanilla, and the variant with Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup. The coffee in these last two was provided by the cats at Thunder Coffee, and the maple syrup that came out of those said barrels was delicious as well! We also taste Drekker's Smooth Or Die Peanut Butter Milk Stout. Lastl but not least is Stone Brewing's Xocoveza imperial stout with chocolate, coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Check out Thunder coffee at https://thunder.coffee/ , and check out the Vistas at https://thevistas.bandcamp.com/ They deserve our support.
