Pacific Northwest, giving us ajump start on our craft beer
journey.

whatever else comes up.
We invite you to pour yourselfa drink and hang out with us.

Okay, oh, and here we go.
Rip Brian, he's dead to us,he's dead for the day, down with
some kind of ailment.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
So we'll persevere.
Is that last year's version?
Did you pick up 2024?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
No, this is the K-thanks by 2022.
The one I bought last year, solet's see if I die.
Not bad, still sounds good.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yes, tastes good.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
So today, episode 42.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, brian refused to be in such a nerdy science
fiction themed review and tookthe day off.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
He gave himself food poisoning so he didn't have to
listen to us talk about it.
Hit checkers guys, Absolutely.
In addition to, we are going tobe having prayer artisanales
patches part of their treatseries.
We had kind of audibled afterwe did Drucker's Sour Patch Kids

(02:00):
a few episodes ago.
We're going to give the prairieI tried to find the prairie
pickle beer again.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh yeah, basically the monster beer Perfect.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, so we settled for this, so you may get to have
that, and then we're going tohave the from Evil Twin Brewing
the.
It's a dunkel.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
What is it called Greenhouse?
Greenhouse dunkel condition onAmerican oak fooders.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
There we go, and that's what we'll start today.
With this intrepid duo, we'regoing to attempt to give you an
idea of how we fridge these, orno, we're not going to frit
Whatever metric we choose today.
Yeah, we're just going to spinthe wheel.
We're going to wing it.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
So greenhouse dunkel condition on American oak fooder
5.5%.
Similar to a Schwartz beer,this traditional style has
lighter body with a touch ofsweetness, notes of nutty,
toffee and roasted malts.
That's about as much as we'regoing to dive into this one.
We did have previously we weretalking about it pre-episode

(03:05):
another Evil Twin Brewing beer.
They're based out of Queens,new York, and we had we're
trying to figure out we'retrying to figure out which one
of theirs we had had before.
it would take about a halfsecond to review our episode
list, but I only I re-listenedto the Prairie one this morning.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I did not grab the Evil Twin again.
But sorry guys, yeah, so wedon't know, but today is a new
day.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
We obviously liked it well enough to bring in another
one and then to Vore Drop allthe way from New York, and we've
had a string of beers from NewYork over the last month or so.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
But you got to play the Hanger Delt.
Obviously there is a demand forit and you know the customer is
always right in terms of taste.
I think was the original.
The customer wants it, they'llbuy it, not they can be a dick
to you, right?
Oh, this is I like this.

(04:05):
Oh, that's nice.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
And here's where I mean, if Brian listened to, the
pod would be chewing us out fornot explaining what a dunkel is
and the finer notes of this.
But I think this is nice.
Dunkle is German for dark.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
This is a dark.
It's probably darker than whatit was supposed to.
I think it's.
Was it a lager?
I mean typically a.
A dunkles are dark, darker fromwhat I remember.
But obviously, going on thoseoak, uh, fooders fooders, that's
still, that's not a real word.

(04:52):
Uh, going on those foodersyou're going to get a little bit
.
You're going to get some ofthose tannins from the oak, but
it's kind of because it looksjuicy on the nose.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh, yeah, yeah, and I was going to say almost looks
apple juicy in the color.
Yeah, like a filtered applejuice.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, not a whole ton of um bubbles coming up, very
thin head, but that's just agood, that's a great sip.
It's a little bit of that oakcomes through, get a little bit
of that tannin bite, but butit's clean.
Finish.
I'm not getting a.
Some dunkles.

(05:32):
I've had in the past a littletoo much, um that sugary feel,
yeah, um kind of coat your mouth.
But this nice and clean it'sit's just that touch of
sweetness.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, it's like that little bit of I don't even go a
full toffee flavor, but just alittle bit of sweetness kind of
on the finish, but then not evenon the finish in the body and
then still kind of a crisp.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I'm getting a also Brian's not here so I can go.
It's got a nice, a slight ESPkind of bite at the end, a
little bit of the hops at theend, a little bit, yeah.
So we're just going to sit anddrink beer the entire time, yeah
.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
So it is a beer podcast, so it is technically a
logger.
Yeah, so it's for a logger.
It's a little dark, it's prettytasty.
Five and a half percent.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
We also did.
We also did this, do that darkbeer episode, oh right, and
we've been coming out a winnerand everything you've had is
Super dark, super dark, superheavy body.
This is kind of a nicetransition to spring.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Hopefully it feels like fingers crossed.
I didn't pay attention thatgroundhog see its shadow.
Yes, he did.
That's bad.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He did not see it, so spring'sgoing to show up early this year
.
There we go, so that's why it'ssunny today.
Yeah, no, fingers crossed.
But we've also getting shit onwith rain and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
It's been terrible.
We've actually seen lighterthan down California and the
rest of the West Coast.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're watching last night's
clash at the Coliseum, which wassupposed to be today, but they
moved it because of Eventuallyeight inches of rain in the
Coliseum.
I think they had it.
Yeah, what was it?
Earlier this week they wereshowing it rained enough that

(07:29):
the track was basically a pool,mm-hmm, and there's.
It's not designed for drainage,so they're just running the jet
dryers around the trackcontinuously, try to get Just
evaporate the water instead ofbecause it couldn't drain
anymore.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, we were in California, my family and I,
just a couple weeks ago duringlike the precursor of all this
storms, and there's just no, isno infrastructure for this much
rain.
My brother's condo, threestories down there was water
coming out of the drains In theparking garage, jesus, and

(08:04):
walking around like thesidewalks hurt flooding.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
So so it was like a Vogan construction fleet was
coming in and coming in they'regonna take out the planet.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Yeah, gotta build a international highway or an
inner Interstellar highway yeah,interstellar highway.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, you got a blow up the earth.
Sorry, got to make room, but ifI was gonna have a pint With my
alien friend in your towel yeah, ford, perfect.
A couple pints before you get aTrit.
You know hitchhiker ride on aVogan construction fleet.
I would have a couple pints ofthis Uncle.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
This goes down pretty easy, this yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
You thought that's what she said.
No, this is just it's.
It's like what you said.
This is a Very easy Logger, butit's got some more flavor to it
.
Then you usually get On to bore.
They did say A crushable intheir description for it and

(09:14):
it's crushable at a 5-5.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, in a pint glass .

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I mean this would be easy knockback and I and I could
probably drink, drink these allnight.
I Think, yeah, it feels it didthat on the second taster, more
of that kind of oak tannin isbuilding, so maybe I might cap

(09:39):
it at two pints, but I, so thiswould be my fallback.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
We've had on the pod at least one evil twin.
We've had a couple yeah, on oroff.
So I wouldn't want it becauseit's not local to us.
I wouldn't shoehorn myself intojust this one, but I would try
something different.
I'll fall back to this, trysomething a little bit more out
there and then have a fallbackyeah, and they do.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
So this greenhouse is a series they have, okay, and
there's a few more popping up,so I think I I Will grab,
probably throw a few more myTavor crate for a later date.
Yeah, is that a when we get allthree in here?
But it's a, it's one of thenice price ones.
Is it a logger series?
I just I want.
I didn't look that far into it.

(10:24):
But there's, like greenhouse,aged on American or voter, like
three or four Different labels.
I didn't read if they're allblogger or whatever.
I assume they're all aged onthe oak fooders, but I don't
know if it's.
You know they've got a Dunklestout right.
I didn't go that far into it.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
No, I'm prepped in huh.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
No, no, I don't do show prep, I just this is my
show prep.
Right, this is my show prep.
I make, plus all of the beers.
Make sure I showered before youguys show up.
Yeah, um, the Tavor sponsorshipcome through yet Try on our
damn this, try on our damn thisto vor, we love, we love your

(11:08):
program here.
Love getting.
It's a nice way to get tastybeer from way outside of your
normal orbit.
Yes, we, we have pigs, pintsand some other great, great
bottle shops around us, butSometimes when I get home from
work I don't want to make adrive, make that trip, walk

(11:31):
around, see what's there.
It's just nice to be able toscroll in your phone.
I'm going to put it.
I know my crate, you canschedule the crate out.
So I'll schedule a crate outsix weeks from now and just keep
putting beer as I every weekput.
More beer, more beer, more beer.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well, we're the first generation that shops online
primarily.
Yes, I'd rather shop online inthe comfort of my own home and
make sure everything and my wifetoo, she'll do online pickups.
You still have to drive to thestore, yeah, but you've already
done all your shopping.
Versus sitting in not just abottle shop at any store and

(12:07):
looking at price tags and sizesand everything, I'd rather just
do the homework ahead of time inthe comfort of my own home and
then and also doing this then Ican try out different breweries.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
So when I'm at that bottle shop I go, I'm going to
go to the store.
I've had evil twin before, I'vehad a prairie ales, I've had a
drekker, I've had all thesebeers that do make it in here
because they have a nationalpresence.
Obviously they're gettingthemselves on to war because to
war is kind of a taste maker.
They're curating, they'recurating everything on there.

(12:42):
So you know you're gettingstuff that's good.
Everything untapped is likeeverything on to war is like
four stars and up, yeah, yeah.
But anyways.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, you got a topic for the day, or are we going to
move on to the next beer?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I don't know, we're just kind of winging it.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
We had a game set up for today, but we're going to
save it for when we have allthree of us.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yeah, well, you can tease it.
Why not tease it?
So this was episode 42.
And what I did is I prepped alist of every beer we've gotten
off to war since we restartedthis thing, but capped it.
You had $42 to spend and we'replaying money beer.
Obviously, brian's not here andwe don't want to rip the

(13:31):
Band-Aid off until we can all behere.
So that will be probably nextmainline episode.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, we got a couple .

Speaker 2 (13:42):
We got a few weeks from now.
Yeah, we kind of scheduled allour beer out, so now I got to
play, I had another to war crateshow up, so there's another 10
beers in the beer fridge that Ihave to schedule.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
We may have another special episode between now and
then too.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes, yes, we might have another special episode.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Stay tuned, yeah, all right, yes, we'll move on.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Actually, that special episode will air before
people see it, so it doesn'tmatter.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, oh, that's true , we already had a special
episode.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, surprise, yeah, we went to Iron Horse for
Valentine's.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Day.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
So, moving on to the prior artist's nails, we will do
our new review metrics at theend on both of these we can do.
While I pour this we can gothrough Dunkle.
We'll do it at the end.
That way the folks watching onYouTube, they can just go to one
.
Oh there they go, they have tostick around to the end, go to
the end.
You can go to the end and hearus give our ratings for both of

(14:40):
these tasty beers.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Tell you what.
If you like and subscribe, I'lltell you right now.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's where I'll put the text.
I'll put the text right there.
Post production All right.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
So our second sour patch themed drink.
This one is sour.
Fans with a sweet tooth canfeel like a kid again with a
sour gummy candy packedconcoction from Prairie, one of
Thrillist's best breweries inthe company.
This tangy treat brims withmassive sour patch kids vibes.

(15:16):
A tart blend of lemon, lime andorange notes.
Tantalizer taste buds withelectric candy tones.
A tropically gin tingePineapple nuance gives the sip
an island bent, providing thegulp with a sweet finish.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, that's our patch, kids.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
All that I haven't taken a sip yet.
More or less than the last onewe had.
I kind of like this one better.
The last one was with, liketrademark sour patch kids.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yes, but this one has I believe this one has yellow
number five.
Like the spicy pickle beer,it's on the front of the can.
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Certified colors and FDNC yellow, number five.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I think that's the?
U word for it.
You got to have the propercoloring in it, but if you
poured this and told me it was alogger, I'd believe you.
I would Very strong.
It's not like the.
So the the director, lookedlike pureed sour patch kids,

(16:24):
because that was a, not asmoothy.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Was it a?

Speaker 2 (16:26):
smoothie?
Yeah, it was.
It was a smoothie style.
So, yes, they had to be a lot,lot thicker, but it was kind of
a off pink color.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
This is but if you stop buying of this, you would
not, you will not even thinksour necessarily.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I appreciate this because you could have your sour
patch kids beer and not looklike a Child.
Yes, put it in a sippy cup foryou.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Oh man, you know what I like, Drekker?
This is, this is.
I think I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
This is it plays better without the thickness.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
That's where it was going to go and I was trying to
pin down what the difference isbetween this one and the
Drekkers Cause the director wasdefinitely a sour patchy.
This one leaves more of a sourpatch kids mouth field, cause
you don't have sour patch kidsaren't.
I mean they're chewy but chunky.
Swallow it, they're gone.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, or if you put a lot of them in and you just let
them melt away in there, yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Are you gumming sour patch kids?
Is that what's going on?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
If you only can have a hundred calories worth.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, you gotta make them last dude, it's called a
coping strategy.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, it's a subtle sour.
You get more of the sweet.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
This is just like.
So this is same.
Obviously not the same flavorsof spicy pickle beer, but I did
the re-listen and my one commentwas they dialed the pickle in
perfectly Cause they could havegone way over the top.
And this, oh, it's spicy pickle.
They could have done it withthis tooth, this over the top.

(18:20):
This is subtle.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's just like a good sour Cause, I would take more
than just a flight sample ofthis.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
This would be something I'd go in order a pint
, A pint or a couple eightounces maybe in between beers.
I don't know how this wouldstack.
I'm not going to attempt that.
I'm going to keep the secondcan for Brian when he returns.
Yes, Get, he can do a littlehomework.
They'll overview himself Cause.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
I'm pretty sure with the pickle beer any pickle is
too much pickle yes For himversus this.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
This is more than a speed, and I think these are
safer.
This is a I say it a lot abouta lot of sourced, but I think
this is a really good gateway.
Sour as well, it's kind of fun.
This would be a fun take to aparty.
Hey, have you ever had a sourbeer?
Rangers, wouldn't taste likesour patch.
Well, I know what sour patchkids taste like.
But then you could slidesomebody into a Berliner vice or

(19:16):
some kind of other.
Um, a kettle sour something.
Switch them over to a raspberrysour, like that lucky envelope
raspberry sour it was fantastic,we got to hide it.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
no-transcript Spoiler .
I think it's on my $42 list.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Nice, nice, I'm glad you put it on there, because I
had to make some sacrifices onmine, like I did my list and
it's like I feel really goodabout that, and then I was $20
over and I was like, oh, I don'tfeel really good about that, so
I had to make some very toughdecisions.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Dude.
The only caveat when we get tothe list is those are Tavor
beers.
Yeah, so it cuts out the ironhorses, the black ravens, a lot
of our local guys, just becauseI didn't keep those receipts.
Well, and it was kind of, we'reputting together a box we can
go and get those.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, we're putting together a crate of six beers.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
But there was some hard decisions and at one point
I had like four sours on mine.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Well, I gotta mix it up a little bit.
Me too.
Yeah, it was like I can't.
I gotta make this a goodrepresentation of everything
we've had.
Yeah, and I'm surprised withusually how my brain works.
I was shocked when I was goingthrough these beers Like, oh
yeah, I remember what it tastedlike.
I remember it does.

(20:40):
Yeah, without even having to goback to the episodes.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
There was only a couple where it was.
It was a coin flip and I waslike what did I say about this
one versus the other?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Because somebody's gonna go through the receipts
and go.
Well, you said, this one was asgood as that one.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, but for the most part, yeah.
I know it was like each of themI'm going oh what, I like that
one, Ooh, but I like that one,Ooh, but I like that one.
And there's only six.
And yeah, it does stack upquick when you're tovoring them
in, but all fantastic beers.
So which one of these are yougonna order first at the

(21:14):
restaurant?
At the end of the universe?

Speaker 2 (21:20):
If I'm at the restaurant at the end of the
universe, I think I gotta gowith the Prairie first.
I think the Prairie fits intothe universe of Douglas Adams.
Douglas Adams made, I think,all their can, art and
everything.
I'll have the evil twin whenwe're on the.
What's the spaceship name?
A heart of.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
It's been a while, it's been too long If.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I can look it up, or when we end up on a jungle plant
or something, I'll have thegreenhouse dunk hole.
Okay, yeah, I think there's aspot for both of them.
Also, this was the one thatwent to the Fable Mexico trip
where I had came back with thesombrero.

(22:06):
The sombrero and the broken foot, I came back with a broken
ankle, a sombrero and this bookwere the only thing in my
carry-ons.
Heart of gold, heart of gold,you were right there.
Yeah, so I'd have the dunk holeon the bridge of the heart of
gold.
The, the, the Henson movieversion, not the British mini

(22:27):
series, one Much sleeker in the,the one with Mostef yeah,
mostef and the Hobbit guy,hobbit guy and Zoe Deschanel
there you go.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yes, it was a lot tighter, I mean in part.
That's just too sweet.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
American, but they also went and pulled bits from
all the books.
They condensed a lot of it andthey were making a single movie
and I was kind of I was sad foryears that they never made a
follow-up.
And then last night, when I wasdoing the research on
everything, because there was acharacter that had stuck in my
head, like I wanted to bring itup for the podcast, but I could

(23:04):
not find existence of saidcharacter anywhere.
It was like some mob they meetsome mob boss or guys serving a
death, like he's in prison, buthe's like oh, he's dead for a,
he's doing a 30 year prisonsentence, so he's dead for 30
years, and that he's just gothis lackeys carrying the body,

(23:25):
his body around until they makehim.
I couldn't find his nameanywhere, but I specifically
remembered it being restaurantin the universe.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, Kind of area.
Second book my favorite is theI forget which machine that
Zaflod goes into my Jesus centerand it's supposed to just
demoralize you because it showsyou how insignificant you are in
terms of the whole universe.
And he's president of whateverthe universe but because of

(23:56):
whatever quirk that's in a subuniverse where it was created
for him, he goes in and he findsout that the entire universe
revolves around him and comesout going perfect.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
This is awesome.
This affirms everything.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I knew about myself.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Awesome.
And then there was somebodylike it was like somebody who
wanted to see him his minddestroyed, and then he comes
walking out like how do you feel?
I feel great, this is fantastic, damn it.
My other, the other favoritecharacter I forget his name, but
he's like a immortal being andhis one task is to go around and

(24:32):
insult every living being inthe universe.
Oh, one by one, yeah, and hehits Arthendet twice.
That was my favorite and but itwas like oh, but one.
When he was like prehistoric.
Whatever I mean it, it's likeDune.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh, you can stop after a little bit.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
You can get through the first two books and then I
mean that's kind of the problem.
When you make a universe, thatis it filled, most of it satire,
it's totally satire.
But at a certain point you wentwell, here's the first two
books, here's all the crazy shitwe did in the books.
If you just keep doing thecrazy shit the same as that, it

(25:14):
goes flat.
So you just have to.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Well, we're gonna get weirder and weirder, and
weirder, and weirder, that myone of my others was Arthur
learns how to fly.
Yes, because he just Forgetsabout gravity.
Yes, and these are totallyinside I.
You just Forget that gravity isa thing and then you can fly
around.
And he spends a book where hejust flies around everyone Fly
around everywhere.
And then I think I told you Ifinished, right, like the series

(25:38):
comes full circle, oh, yeah,yeah at the end, yeah, finally
makes it back to earth as it'sbeing spoiler alert for a 40
year old book, as it's beingdestroyed to make room for that.
Still, our highway.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I, I like the way they did so.
Going back to the Most stepmovie with the, they did the Jim
Henson Muppets.
Yeah, all the characters, greateffects still holds up today.
But I like what they did.
It's all in one you hit all the, you hit all the crazy stuff.
They made it just modern enoughbecause, yeah, it is a 40 year

(26:14):
old book and a lot of the Kindof jokes and the satire Doesn't
hit the same the very timely.
Yeah, it's very niche, ourfavorite word here, maybe our
life.
I would like to touch on thebeer spas.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Oh, saw that, I saw that, I think I posted it.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
You posted it.
Yes, the, but it's not I.
I was set Not sad because it'dbe super expensive.
It was an actual full octanebeer.
It's just.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Oh, it's hot water and we make beer tea, yeah we
put barley in my which makessense, and because you know how
expensive it would be even for alight beer to fill up 40, get
40 gallons at a time.
Yeah, I was like some were likefull-on hot-tops, so you're
talking like a hundred gallonsof beer and I yeah, I was like
so, are they?

Speaker 2 (27:09):
It's a hundred gallons of beer, are they just?
Oh, we're just, it's gotalcohol in it.
We can just swap it out everyweek.
It's like I don't want to gosomewhere, we're and I'm not
drinking it Somebody?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
I would drink it, I would try to drink it.
Yeah, yeah, but they serve youbeers.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
They probably started doing that.
They're like Please don't drinkthe pool water, just drink this
please.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well, how disappointed would you be to go
to a beer spa?
And they go.
Well, there's no beer.
This is a spa, you're supposedto relax and Recharge, so
alcohol kind of defeats thepurpose.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
But it's a damn it spa.
That would make sense.
That would make sense because,according my whoop, yes, I
should not drink beer.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
It's a beer spa.
It's literally the thing thatbrought me in the door.
No, yeah, you're gonna take abeer shower, and so can a beer
hot tub and have a couple beersand.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
So so a shower bear squared.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, we're talking here, yeah maybe a couple like
lemon wedges on your eyes.
Mmm, you're gonna have my son ahot tub.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, why not Little good little stuff?
Yeah, a little suffering isgood, little controlled
suffering I That'd beinteresting to see.
If that, I wonder if Drekker'sgonna make a beer spa.
Drekker, could you have a beerspa for when we get there?

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I mean, but I don't, I don't want to, but our brewery
is gonna.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Big enough, mature enough, because there's a lot of
, if you've got a hotel attached.
Yeah, there's a lot.
Yeah, 10 pen, what not?
Is that the next thing?
Like you see, these breweriesthat have been around since the,
since the original boom, whohave grown and matured and like
Very successful so they can spaninto the big, into, like the

(29:00):
director of all hall brew, hola,mm-hmm, iron horse.
They've got their new Kind ofnew space.
Yeah, they've built out intothat.
We're gonna see next week.
Last week, do you start seeingthem getting to more hospitality
, go to hotel?
And then it's the Drekker beerspa.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Go soak in a vat of Chunk mango marshmallow smoothie
sour start getting to theamusement park type thing, where
it's like an all-in-one you goto Legoland, you go to Disney,
you're staying at the park,you're going to the whatever,
but this?
Now you're going to thebreweries hotel, you're going to

(29:45):
the brewery.
What else do we have there?
Well, we got a spa, and it'sgoing to be a beer theme spa,
because you're out of brewery.
I'm definitely not bathing inChunk, though maybe like just a
a chunk face mask.
Yeah, nice, there you go.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, a little bit of clay in there, oh yeah, but
we're the target market becausewe were kind of we were already
on the fence, yeah, I mean backin 2014, the kind of when this
new craft boom was.
We were late 20s, still kind offeeling things out.
Feeling things out, don't havea lot of free money to spend,

(30:26):
and then, if we were, it was oncheaper.
Yeah, two for two for two forCoors, light Nights at the bars
and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
And now we're getting up there in age, we have a
little bit more scratch anddisposable income spending
something, and if I can trick mywife into telling them that
there's going to be a spa at theresort that we're staying at.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
You're going to smell like.
You're going to smell like anIPA when we're done.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Oh man, if you could do like a beer waterfall.
I'm thinking like a Charlie andthe Chocolate Factory style.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Oh yeah, Do a little Gustav action.
Go swim in the pool, go swim inthe lake, get sucked up, get
sucked up into the machinery.
Yeah, no, no, no, no no, no,that is not.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
You've tainted the beer.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh no, gustav, no, no , no, I like that.
No, the way Jean played it andI was like, oh no, don't do that
.
No, oh, darn he was.
He was never disappointed whena child was horribly maimed in
his Chocolate Factory.
No, I haven't seen the newChameleon.
I was going to say Chameleonand Ding Dong one.
I haven't seen that one either.
Sounds like it.

(31:31):
I don't think it had quite themagic.
But the Dune 2, part twotrailer came out.
Came out Nerd alert, I thinkit's nerd alert.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Well, and it's on, I think, netflix the part one, so
you can get caught back up.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I've, I've been, I may have been like watching
parts and pieces of it everyweek.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
I'm going to wait because I think it comes out in
March.
Yes, so a few weeks or so fromnow.
If anybody does a double header, I would be more than inclined
to go watch him back to back onthe big screen.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
The early kind of inside baseball folks who have
seen it Christopher Nolan, himand Bill Newborn BFFs.
Okay, I think Nolan said thisis his Empire Strikes Back.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
He's going to do a third.
He's going to cover Messiah inDune 3.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
And then he said he's done, he doesn't want to do any
of it, and it was like oh,perfect, well, because perfect,
because you can't.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Hitchhiker's Guide goes off the rails after Book 2
or 3, but still good.
But get just weirder andweirder.
Dune after Messiah goes.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Absolutely bonkers.
But.
But in Messiah doesn't he stillbecome the worm, does he?

Speaker 1 (32:48):
come.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
No he doesn't become the worm God in Messiah, that's
his son, okay.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Oh, that's right, so this is anyway spoilers.
But yeah, he becomes theemperor and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Yeah, brian was here, he'd be rolling his eyes, would
have rolled back of his head.
It's beat a light.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Paul becomes the emperor and that whole arc of
Messiah.
It's after that and God EmperorDune is when Lito or whatever
Lito Jr yeah Turns into.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
That's when it gets weird, weird yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
He may start that transition in Messiah, but it's
not the main point.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Right, he could surprise everyone and kind of
Just do that and do that andthird out of nowhere, yeah oh,
sake Worm God.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
What?

Speaker 2 (33:34):
But yes, I'm very excited because I like the way
Vilnud does big it feels, yeah,everything feels.
Oh it feels epic.
I wonder if he'd dohitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
, because it's a story aboutit's big.
Everything's about the universe.
Like you know, universe isunimaginably giant.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, the meaning of the life, universe and
everything is revealed in thebook.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
But it's like dude, it's just this giant universe.
But you're telling this storythat's very close to the best.
You're just following one ortwo people in, but they're
having these universe Spanningwhy?
Yeah, that's the tired guy fromEngland, Right and his pajamas.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
For the entire series ?

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Yeah, and it because, like the way they played it in
the movie, it felt like it wasjust like he's been on a two day
bender the entire time, theentire time the most deaf
version of it.
Yeah, it was like oh man, I hada rough Friday.
Yeah, wake up Saturday.
Well, the world's blowing up,let's go.
Let's go down in the pub have acup of pints and then go on
this adventure.

(34:43):
And then Monday morning he'sgot to go back to work because
everything's back to normal.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
That's what that movie felt like oh, it felt like
the way they did it.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
It was like, okay, yeah, because they didn't do, oh
, because they rebuilt.
Yeah, they rebuilt the Earth.
They magically rebuilt theearth as it was.
Instead of this oh no, you'reback on earth, but it's
prehistoric times, because wehave to restart this computing
process.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Well, that was.
They just tightened it up tofit into one movie.
I think we have lost half thepeople by now.
Probably yeah.
So we're we doing rankingstyles?
We did one over the other.
We're having it first.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
This kind of pick a metric that you're feeling right
now.
So the evil twin Junkle aged onAmerican oak Fudders, so
fooders.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Evil twin is going to be more of a go to for me, Just
as logger it's easier to drink.
I'd give it Four, Not aneveryday, but for like walking
in having a pint or two withoutreally feeling in the mood for
something wild.

(35:46):
I'd give it Four greenhousedunkles out of five.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Nice, I'm going to go Same vein as you.
It's not an everyday drinker,but this is one that I can't
describe it but like, sometimesyou get home from work and it's
like that is a flavor.

(36:12):
I don't wanna go for an ESBwhere there's a lot of body
there, Maybe the sun's out,maybe it's a little warmer.
We had this little warm streak.
That is a nice reminds me ofESB, even though it's a lager.
I love what they did, put it onthe oak.
I can't wait to try more inthis series.

(36:35):
I am gonna go.
I'm gonna go.
4.2 out of five.
Arthur Dents.
There you go.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Then prairies patches .
You gotta be in the mood for it, yeah, yeah, yeah, Very good.
This is a.
I think this is like a pinterin the pub Going to the bar.

(37:12):
So if you're out in public,this is something and I would do
a full pint.
Just wouldn't necessarily be aflyer, but this would be
something.
Yeah, I'm gonna start off withsomething a little bit weird.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Kind of brighten the mood, brighten the day.
Yeah, hey, we gotta get thenight started or something.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
So if I'm in the mood for it, I think it's a 4.5.
Okay, patches on an every, butit falls in less rotation.
Yeah, yeah, I'm not having thisonce a week.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
No, no, I would have this.
I would have patches Halloween.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Do another one of those, like we did with the
Dreckers.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
It'd be kind of a I could see it Halloween,
obviously Candy, maybe a 4th ofJuly or some kind of summer time
party.
Yeah, this is kind of a nicelittle instead of I don't wanna
have a Coke with my barbecue athot dog yeah.
I'll just have patches, getsame amount of calories, but

(38:23):
have kind of that.
I didn't even look at that.
Yeah, and I don't worry aboutit.
They don't put it on the cans.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
And it'd be interesting.
I don't know how the sugarswould hit you Would be the only
other drawback.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I mean, I'm gonna have it didn't fill over the top
sugary, it felt very clean andfinished Like a fairly dry for
the amount of flavor you'regetting going.
If it was way drier than Iwould have thought, if you said
oh, this is a sour patch, kidsbeer, yeah, sour patch kids,

(38:57):
comma beer, not a sour patchkids beer.
I don't wanna get anybody incopy and register trademark
issues.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Oh, I'm just saying it's not a kids beer.
No, no, sour patch kids beer.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
When do people start making NA beer?
No, they can never do that.
We can't.
They got rid of Joe Camel yearsago.
We can't start making NA beerfrom kids, but isn't that what?

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Mountain Dew and Monster are right now.
Oh God, yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I'm gonna give patches four out of five, four
perfects.
Okay, yeah, I think it's a.
If you can find it, if you seeit at your local bar to shop,
grab it, stash it away for alittle tasty treat.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Yep, anything from Prairie is worth grabbing.
They got a bunch of fun beers.
I mean I would drink this moreoften than the spicy pickle
monster.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Even though I like pickles and I professed it.
Yes, that is a, because it'smore like a everyday sour, it's
more approachable.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yeah, you're not throwing too much crazy at it,
which they have a lot thatthrows crazy at it and you don't
have to roll it.
You do not have to roll it,which makes it easily a
coolerable.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
And you can go.
You can tell your child this togo grab it for you.
They don't have to do anyspecial prep.
You're right, just grab it,grab it.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
It's gonna be an easy one to pick out of the fridge,
so it's the one with the kid onthe front getting a wedgie.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
You'll see it Probably saw it here somewhere
in the screen earlier.
Yeah post production.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Yeah, child kitchen post, all right, cool, I think
that's all we got, right we didit, we did it, we did it, we did
it.
We don't even need the guy.
We didn't know what a Ah JK, wedidn't even know what a dongle
was.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
But All right, well, a few more beers.
I'll be a Dongle, I'll be adrunkle.
