Are you ready for the World Cup?
As beer nerds this would have been a great opportunity to capitalized on the World Cup hype. Maybe try to find a beer from every country playing? That sounds like a lot of work. Best we can do is some stats.
The "experts" say World Cup Fans will drink about a Billion pints of beer over the 31 days of the World Cup. I can believe that. But, a stat they compared it to was 2.6 Billion bee...
Happy 250th, America!
We're less than a month away from America's 250th birthday and there are some cool beers releasing to celebrate.
George Washington took some good notes on his beers and the NY Public Library collaborated with Talea Brewing to bring his "Small Beer" back to life. They brewed a version as true to the original recipe as possible and another that's revised to take advantage of modern materia...
Nate's on the road this week and Brian and I start off praising the glory of a good night's sleep. It's quite elusive these days, so we appreciate it even more. It can really work wonders.
We also discovered Haas Euphorics and chat about those. Botanical extract meant to be added to finished beer. They've got blends to add a rounded tropical profile or just a single fruit note if that's your thing. We're not sure wha...
In this week's show...
- Pabst Is Calling It Quits on Schlitz

We forgot to publish this one on time so we're being lazy with the notes. We're ashamed but here we are.
We need a nap.
Must have been something in the air this week as all of us seemed to be struggling getting a good night's rest. I remember my youth, way back in the late 1900s, and 4 hours of sleep on a concrete slab and I was good as new. Maybe that kind of activity is why it's a whole damn project to get a good rest these days. Zzz.....
Right in line with our chatter last week 10 Barrel reached out to us abo...
Gas, wings, beer... everything is too expensive.
The wild times continue and everything is too expensive. I had to get a loan to fill up my tank this week, and 2nd mortgage for a six-pack. Is Two Buck Chuck even two bucks anymore? Doubtful.
With the rising costs of everything the tradition of pre-gaming is back. Knocking back a few before you head out for an evening can save a good chunk on your drink bill. I...
This week, we let the beer do the thinking.
We kick things off with our Beers of the Week before diving headfirst into chaos: breaking down malt liquor for the uninitiated, introducing a dangerously fun new boilermaker (hello, Naughty Chouffe), and reacting to big industry moves like Sapporo scooping up Stone Brewing.
From there, it’s a whirlwind—saying goodbye to local staples, questioning whether high ga...
Home distilling may be coming soon, legally!
Some big news this week as the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans declared the ban on home distilling unconstitutional. Now this doesn't mean we can all run out and get our gear to start making whiskey, some states (like Georgia) have bans in place on top of the federal ban. The reason it was overturned is interesting, too. Not a free card to get di...
You see that? Episode 500. Crazy.
We've been running our mouths about beer for over a decade now. What a time it has been. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Big news for the beer world this week as it was announced that Mitch Steele would be joining Abita Brewing. Mitch is best known for his time at Stone Brewing and also co-founded New Realm Brewing here in Atlanta. He's been a very active member of our craft b...
One last report this week on the numbers for BrewDog's sale to Tilray. The deal is done and it's wild to see where it landed.
Nate's back after an adventure through the Midwest. Lots of breweries along the way and he naturally brought some back to share.
Brian shares a "Boilermaker of the Week." He's a bit obsessed but we'll let him at it, he's not hurting anyone.
You remember Innis & Gunn? Seems they were hot stuf...
In this episode, we kick things off with a surprise Irish whiskey that caught us off guard, then quickly pivot into venting about gas prices and the reality of celebrating without the usual green beer gimmicks. Somewhere along the way, we tell you why you should follow Garron (trust us, he’s “delicious”) and break down our Beers of the Week.
We revisit the legend of the infamous “4th segment&r...
It is indeed a lovely day for a Guinness.
Despite all the madness in the world today it's nice that we have occasions to come together for a pint or two. St. Patrick's Day makes everyone Irish. Wear you green, grab a pint of Guinness, have an Americanized meal of corned beef and cabbage, and trade in your cheers for sláinte. You've earned it.
We have a special treat this year as Colm O'Connor from the Guinness Storeho...
We just can't get these guys outta the news...
That's right, more BrewDog news. This one caught me off guard but maybe it shouldn't have. Tilray continues to stockpile breweries, and they got this dog for cheap. Let's see how it goes.
In funner news, we had a bottle share last weekend. Good times, it's been way too long. We had some sour beers, grilled meats, played some cards, and smoked some cigars. You should have ...
Tilray strikes a deal that we're OK with.. for now.
Big news this week is that Tilray has struck a deal to brew and distribute several Carlsberg beers. From our point of view this is good to keep folks working at the breweries in their portfolio, and we love that. Let's see how it goes.
The FBI had some beer drama this week when Kash Patel chugged a beer while celebrating with the US Men's hockey team at the Olympics ...
We open the show with some sad news. Tim Very, drummer for Manchester Orchestra, died unexpectedly at just 42. We didn't know Tim well, but in our interactions he was always happy and super friendly. The death was unexpected and no cause has been reported. We're all big fans of their music and were saddened by the news. We wish all the best to his bandmates, family, and friends.
Curling is hot news right now. Olympic...

2026 shaping up to be the year of convenience store beer. It's got Goldman Sachs feeling particularly bullish. They're throwing around "buy" recommendations on beer stocks. We're obviously long on beer. And by that I mean, Brian is driving the sales of Long Beers at Atlanta-area convenience stores.
BrewDog is also all over news lately, and in keeping with tradition it's all bad. James Wa...
70% of people doing Dry January are liars.
Here's one I find hard to believe. Apparently 70% of people taking part in Dry January so they won't go back to drinking. C'mon, you ain't fooling me. Maybe they asked them like a week into January and they were feeling good and high and mighty and thought they would keep it up, but I just don't see that many people calling it quits. We'll see what the numbers tell us.
Some n...
We got new drinking rules, Y'all!
New federal dietary guidelines came out in the US recently and there are some changes to the recommendation on alcohol consumption. Rather than the old 1 drink for women, 2 drink for men it's been changed to "Drink Less." That's it, just an ambiguous suggestion to drink less. Do with that what you will.
And we've found a loophole to comply, along with another Guinness trend - The "60/...
Did you miss us?
Seems like forever since we did a show. Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year! 2026 is starting off exhausting, good thing there's beer.
We probably should have made a bigger deal of this but with all the other stuff in our lives we didn't get to throw a big party. But, we turned 10! That's right, 10 whole years of Beer Guys Radio. It's been a crazy ride.
Of course with the new year comes the call...
