Rock-N-Brews

On this episode, Jon and Thomas take one for the team and try a few beers.

Joey broughts us a family size can of Steel Reserve (swill) , an 8.1% malt liquor from Steel Brewing Company Nicole brought us Founder’s Mortal Bloom.  A hazy IPA clocking in at 6.2%. She also wrapped the cans in a very nice decorated paper bag. My Dad send me back Cherry Chouffe, and amazingly crisp cherry beer which is a whopping 8% Imported by Duvel Moorgat

In part two Thomas and Jon talk about tipping etiquette vs (in)convenience fees. Georgia Beer Day happened and led to yet another “Jon’s gone and hell breaks loose” story. Jon realizes that he’s not a good trainer. Jon and Thomas are Social Media Influencers. And a conspiracy neither of us remembers putting into the show notes.

This is part 1 of 2 - the recording went almost 2 hours so we split it up.

This week Jon and Thomas catch up after a long break due to work schedules.

We taste some amazing beers -

Interstellar Bonanza - Three Floyds - Hammond IN - Brought by Scott / Buttercup Orbital Delusion - IPA from Drekker Brewing Co. - Fargo, ND - - Brought by Scott / Buttercup Berry Berry Melomel type mead - Made by Fan of the Brewery Ben Grace Mystery Crowler - We canned something a while back and never labeled it

...

Back from a holiday break, Jon and Thomas try Jai Alai Double IPA and it's pretty damn good.  We talk about New Years Eve and what happened at midnight if you were here, you know. 

We actually got a couple comments from listeners to talk about - one of which was related to a past episode and one question was related to the hardest beer I've ever brewed.

Thomas gets stiffed on a tip after pretty much being someone's bitch all night, we hit a somewhat old conspiracy / movement that may have some footing and th...

Christmas Episode!  [*Extra Explicit and Crude*]

In this episode all 4 of us (Jon, Thomas, Keri and Bekah) sit down to drink, laugh and recall various stories and shenanigans from the past month.

We kick off the episode by tasting more moonshine that Curtis brought us - Dr. Dum Dum's Strawberry and Blackberry.  We hit some Christmas Party news, Thomas talks to Santa, we talk about a game Jon wrote back in high school, Keri's obsession with Snoop Dog and we round out the episode with a "Who spits water first" - Joke contest which gets ve...

This week on the podcast, Jon and Thomas taste Hayburner IPA from Big Ditch Brewing Company in Buffalo New York, Swing Juice from Weathered Ground Brewery in West Virginia and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale from Lexington Brewing and Distilling.  

We talk about Thanksgiving adventures, the game bookshelf, Jon goes on a rant, some listener feedback about the kitchen, of course Distributor crap and Jimmy Buffet.

This week Jon and Thomas get some new podcasting equipment thanks to Jon's copious amount of Amazon points.  A super drunk customer makes an appearance, Jon thinks Mickey Mouse is a classic rock singer from the 70's and Thomas thinks there's cannibals in our National Forests and Parks.

This week Jon and Thomas try out Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream brought to us by friends of the show Keith and Michael.  We have some corrections from the last episode because we make stuff up and occasionally that stuff is wrong.  Jon shares a near death experience, Thomas confides in us about this weekend's Draft Kings experience and we almost had to call the cops for the first time ever. But we didn't, because mama didn't raise no bitch... mostly because I have friends that got my back.

In this special episode, the ladies take over and talk about life at the brewery.  Interestingly they take a different attack and look the the bright side of things :).  They talk about the beginnings of their friendship, how Trax came about and the progression of the taproom construction.  Keri tells a story about her grandpa that may bring a tear to your eye and Bekah talks about how we go to a lot of concerts and why that frustrates dad.  The end the show with Dad jokes with dad - and rip through some good ones.

 

This week Jon and Thomas explore more international alcoholic drinks, we talk sports betting and how we got screwed because Draft Kings lost their shirts on the World Series, Some AWESOME gifts from customers, a PSA about your resume if you're a contractor and much, mich more.

Listen to the end to hear about upcoming events for November.  It's packed!
