Dave ends up sicker than a dog. Can't shake it before the scheduled pod recording. Push it to Friday ?....... lots of family plans the rest of the weekend.
So the guys do the only thing that makes sense during a busy holiday weekend. Do it as originally planned, but remotely.
Let us know how we did doing it this way at the last minute.
Happy Thanksgiving to all !
Mike and Dave have 3 IPAs in this episode. A West coast style from Batch Brewing Co, a hazy from Arvon Brewing Co, and a DIPA from Bottle Logic Brewing. Make sure you check out the Shows You Should Be Watching and the Music You Should Be Listening To. The guys give their in-depth analysis of the college football and NFL playoff picture. Get Mike's opinion of the Would You Rather questions. Finish the podcast to see if Mike gets "Stumped" and what he thinks about the movie quote that may or may not stump him.
Mike and Dave have an over abundance of tastings in this episode and it's a laugh fest. Just like the Jets on Thursday Night Football. Just like why you don't play Tyrod Taylor and you shouldn't put a HS player as Ryan Fitzpatrick on Prime post-game show. We nailed it and our mom's would be proud!!
Mike and Dave have three Austin Brothers Beer Co beers for the tastings on this episode. Make sure to get M & D's picks on What Shows and Music You Should Be Watching/Viewing. Make sure to tune in to the Sport Segment to get Mike's opinion on the quality of the World Series, college football, and his rant on Bo Nix of the Broncos. Would Mike save Ruby from the edge of a cliff??? Tune into the 3rd segment to find out.
Mike and Dave have a special first tasting with a Black Bear Stew and a Black IPA from the Maple Grille (not for retail sale or consumption). The 2nd and 3rd tasting is from Petoskey Brewing with Horny Monk and Wanderlust IPA respectively. As always, tune in to find out the Shows You Should Be Watching. Get Mike and Dave's analysis on the World Series, college football, and the NFL. Mike started out with a 9.3%'er & kept truck'in, so the 3rd segment is what you tune in for.
Mike, Dave & Nate have a magnificent trio of tastings. The first from Old Nation Brewing with their Raspberry Creamsickle IPA, then an IPA from Matazoa Brewing, then a Hazy IPA from One Well Brewing. As advertised, the back and forth between Nate and Mike provided laughs upon laughs ..... and a few moments of good "discussion".
Mike and Daqve3 have a DIPA from Eastern Market Brewing Co., another DIPA from Fat Orange Cat Brew Co., then a Belgian Triple from Kickstand Brewing Co. If you need Shows To Watch, tune in to the first segment for in depth analysis of the best show on all the platforms. The Sports Segment and third segment are WHY you listen/watch Flights, Football & Anything Else.
Mike & Dave have 3 fall tastings of the pumpkin variety. Caramel Pumpking from Southern Tier, Atomic Pumpkin from Voodoo Ranger, and a Pumpkin Ale from Whole Hog Next Level Brews. Mike and Dave let you know What Shows You Should Be Watching......add them to your viewing list. The sports section, M & D go deep into their analysis of college & NFL football. Mike ends up with multiple F.U.s during the 2nd and 3rd segments!!
Mike and Dave have 2 donations from loyal listener Josh Windy from Prison City Brewing, Auburn NY and Mike brings a pumpkin ale from Elysian Brewing Co. We give you a sharp analysis of the Shows You Should Be Watching and the Music You Should Be Listening To. The Sports segment is an experienced perspective on the MLB playoff picture. Mike and those in the live stream chat have their opinions about week 4 & 5 of the NFL season. We have a few laughs in the 3rd segment like we always do.
Mike and Dave have three tastings from the Lagunitas IPA variety IPA 12 pack which includes their flagship IPA the Legendary IPA, The Beast of Both Worlds IPA, and Maximus Colossal IPA. Mike is back from Germany, but that trip didn't stop him from trying to watch his favorite sports team back in the states...... much to his face's chagrin. Listen and/or watch to get Mike's perspective on what happened.
While Mike is away in Germany celebrating Oktoberfest, it made sense to celebrate the minds behind the brewing with special guests Mike from Hop Craft Supply, Cody from Oracle Brewing, and Jamie from Three Bridges Distillery and Tap Room. They participate in some of our regular segments, but the hops hit the road toward the end of the podcast when they share their insights and experiences in the business and art of brewing beer.
Mike and Dave want you to try to figure out the title. Mike is really proud of coming up with that one. We have 3 excellent IPA's for the tastings from City Built Brewing Co. , Watermark Brewing Co. and Drekker Brewing Co. Mike gives his expert opinion.....58 years of "experience" (Happy Birthday Mike) in the sports segment. Then see if he can get past Grampa Blackhawk's pick for the Stump Mike segment.

Mike and Dave have produced and completed their first live stream on YouTube and Riverside. The same great content you are used to but now with video and interaction with those in the live chat. We had three great tastings from Atwater Brewery, Petoskey Brewing, and Abomination Brewing Co. Tune in to the discussion and laughs in this episode and Mike and Dave embark on a new level of podcasting.
Mike and Dave might have a pod record of total ABV for this episode. We tasted the Cyber Sue from Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. , the Artic Panzer Wolf from Three Floyds Brewing Co. , and THEN .... THEN .... Wake Up! World Wide Stout from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Even with the ridiculous total ABV in this episode's tastings, this is one of our best podcast ever in terms of it's education and entertainment value - No hyperbole.....especially when Mike tries to throw Dave under the bus.
The Maple Grille
Mike and Dave have a trio of stouts for the tastings on this episode. We start with Grahama's Stout from The Maple Grille Microbrewery, the KBS Iced Latte from Founder's, then Coocoo For Cacao from Austin Brothers Beer Co. Gotta listen for the Shows You Should Be Watching. Then the Sports segment Dave asks some interesting questions to Mike in the MLB, PGA, and NFL. Then the 3rd segment has Krakens, Grizzlies and smelling salts.....oh MY!
The Maple Grille
Mike and Dave have fabulous tastings and special guests Nate and Eric for our Summer Slam Special episode. The tastings include Donna's Pickle Beer, Shiny Pencils WCIPA, and DDH Nelson-Hero NEIPA. The format is "slightly" changed but you'll get all the same amazing content and numerous side-splitting rants from Mike - including but not limited to the debate whether Cody Rhodes is going to take the belt from Cena? ...and are the Bears going to finish last in the NFC North?

Mike and Dave have some amazing beers this week. First is the 10.8% You'd Butternot Amber Ale from Maple Grille Brewery. Then the 8.2% King Sue DIPA from Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. Then the 10.6% Belgian Tripel from Tri-City Brewing. Dave has had a few requests this week for "What Shows Should I Be Watching" ....so listen to the segment. Then we cover what's going on in the SPORTS world - as Mike gives his weekly predictions in the MLB. Then the guys go into their usual hijinks in the 3rd segment, ESPECIALLY with the higher ABV tastings - don't try this at home, and definitely DO NOT drink and drive.
