Speaker 3 (04:20):
How.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
How.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I hate that here, right, how Ugh I hate the this
side.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
My phone's over there .

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's recording us.
I wanted to see if I had.
I had one of those narrowgauges left, the peanut butter
one, and you have that.
A little bit of this, a littlepeanut butter jelly action.
Ooh, do you want me to open thefridge?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, because you can mix one.
There's nothing here.
You can do a half-half.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
You guys talk about the taste here, let me go look.
Hey, just don't do that thingwhere you make yourself stay
there in the room and it tripsme up for like 20 minutes.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
I got it.
Where did he go?
We literally had a conversationand he wasn't there.
He's sitting right, there Isthis what they call a third of
the sour.
It does say to roll it.
It says roll me gently, and Irolled aggressively because we
learned that gently means.
The last one, I rolledaggressively and it still came

(05:22):
out.
It still split pretty quickly.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
This is nowhere near as big.
No, no, no, no.
I mean it's thicker than youwould expect, yes, but it's not
like leaving all the sides anddoing that.
I mean you're definitely notseeing through it, but like this
is.
This is one of the ones.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
We're advertising gateway beers is what we're
doing Like that's the.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Okay, yes, yes, ed, you've got to do something
different to get the youngsdrinking the beer.
They come in, they buy some ofthese, the legal drinking age
youngs.
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah the.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
LDA youngs.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
No no.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Drink it all?
Oh, no, I got cute.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
That was one of the ones.
I only bought one of.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Oh no, you bought.
No, he probably only bought onethat was like a ten and a half.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, that was a onesie.
Next time, next time.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
This is a legal drinking age entry beer.
This is the thing that like andput it in a good way If you go.
So, if you are, I'm going tocreate a scenario.
If you're 24, you are very muchinto beer, yep.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Okay, You're into craft beer something.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Maybe you know you got taken to breweries as a
child and you just got into beerculture and stuff.
I know what jerks and yourfriends are like not that into
beer, okay.
But you know that you want togo to a place like Peaks and
Pints and you want to go andhang out for the night and

(07:01):
you're trying to do somethingdifferent than a bar like bar
thing.
You go to Peaks and Pints.
Well, they think they don'thave anything to drink there.
Oh, you're going to drink there.
Oh, you know what I mean?
They're not going to knownumber one, that they're
drinking beer but they're goingto enjoy it and there's other

(07:25):
different, like there's tons ofdifferent variations.
They're probably going to be alittle annoyed if they see that
can and think there's not weedin.
It Could be.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
The blueberry on the finish is tasty.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
No.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Okay, call me crazy Okay.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
This speaks for itself.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
But does that blueberry on the back end
somehow give you like a littlebit of like a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich finish?

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Oh, 100%, okay, okay, okay, no, that's what I'm
saying, that blueberry.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Like I thought it was taking crazy pills.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
No, like it feels like a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich.
Okay, so there are.
Does that sound silly?
There's these little snacks.
They're called Bobos.
Yep, they're like a littleround.
They're actually gluten-free,but it looks like Nothing but
gluten.
So on the outside, inside islike a peanut butter and jelly.

(08:24):
They have strawberry, they havegrape.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well aware, this friggin' tastes like the grape
one.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Like the only thing you're missing is just that like
texture of the outside, of likethe bar, yeah, oh that's so
good.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Like so my show prep everyone on Untappd went grape
Jollylly rancher, I get it, Iget in there, but there's a
little bit more depth with theblueberry.
That kind of gives you that umyou word, man.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
I don't know the last time I had a grape jolly
rancher, but you years, yearsare correct in that that does
kind of taste like that.
Um, I did get the initial.
I don't is the smell or taste.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
A little time tap okay, like big class, yes class.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
And before they change the recipe, now kind of
like just thinking of like stuffthat I like blend with this or
do different things like so Inever the narrow gauge peanut
butter and stout, but I'm havinga schooner of each side by side
.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I'm not mixing the two beers together.
You want to do a black?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
and tan with it.
I want to do a third glass.
I want to do, I want theoptions, I want to try a little
mixer, so like Sig Brewing haskind of started doing some
blends of beers that you canlike literally order.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh, like all, of Top Down, top Down.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
But Top Down does it.
They make their beers with moreof an intent.
That's been their entire thing,whereas Sig, I think the
bartender just was kind of likeah, fuck it, what if I portion
these out?
I also kind of like thoughtthis would like a little
champagne, add some bubbles toit.

(10:17):
Yeah, not that it isn't likecarbonated, well, but like just
get that little more or a littlebit of soap water if you're an
outside shop, it almost soundslike.
Make it a little more likegrape soda, like that little
kick more yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
I mean, if you had a CO2 gun at your house sounds
like it makes it a little morelike Greg Soda, like that little
kick more.
Yeah, I mean, if you had a CO2gun at your house you could.
I don't know, but we've got totalk about that, oh, excuse me.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Sorry, 420 episode.
I don't know that I would havebought this Like on my own.
I would this Like on my own.
I would not have bought this onmy own you 100% would have, you
wouldn't buy 90% of the stuffthat we have on your own.
This is true.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
This is what happens when you get high and buy beer,
this is entirely what happens.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
If Purple Kush tasted like this, yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
If we tasted like this, I'd be in big trouble.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Dude, yes, you're talking to the guy that was
trying to ask who stepped in dogpoop for a long time Because I
didn't know what that smell was.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh yeah, that's days in the past.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It's a brand great world now.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
By the way, this scoop dog is fantastic.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
I'm wondering if this is what we're Mexican vanilla,
Maybe that's.
Is that what's kind of addingthat little bit different to
some of these?
What makes it Mexican vanilla?
I don't know why I was going to.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's probably cultivated in Mexico.
I believe.
When I read it, though, what itmade me think of and I was a
little worried is the time whereI was like, oh yeah, I'll get
the Mexican stout.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
And then I drank it and I was like, ooh, it kind of
burns my mouth.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I don't really enjoy this.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
That's what I thought of, but this is not that.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
That's a little taste .
That's a little taste, that's alittle taste.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah, I kind of want to like it really makes me want
to do some different things, Trydifferent stuff with it.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It's just really freaking good.
It's tasty.
I don't know how many I wouldhave, though.
Yeah, we've said it about amillion times.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Give me a fly roll of fruit.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah, all the versions, all the versions,
whatever you got, I still wantto go somewhere that has these
beers on tap.
I've never yeah.
I've never the closest You'renot going to the Italian
restaurant it took me a longtime to figure out why I was
saying Sherwin-Williams, paint,you put a little stink on it.

(13:04):
That's what you said when I putin their address for the place
that we looked at.
That doesn't have a locationlast week?

Speaker 3 (13:11):
yeah, thank you that.
We looked at that.
Doesn't have a location Lastweek.
No, I meant three weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Yeah, thank you.
What was I saying?
I'm sure we'll end up playingBefore that.
Oh, I've never been to a placethat has smoothie beers on tap.
The closest to me would beGreat Notion.
They have some that are a littlethicker, but to me it's not a
full-on that they have some thatare a little thicker and like,
but to me it's not like a fullon like cause, even this is

(13:37):
borderline Like.
This is probably more like thegreat notions of like that type
where, yeah, you should probablyroll the beer, but I'm thinking
more like a full trucker, thesmoochie, the chalk, like those
ones Like I've never beensomewhere to see, like, Well, do
that We've talked about thattoo.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
How do you have it on tap If I have to roll the can,
are you?

Speaker 4 (14:02):
agitating the keg the entire time.
Do you have like the littlethingy?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
inside?
Is it in the slush machine?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, See, this is what I.
And then also do you justreplace the lines every time you
switch beers?
Oh, you'd have to.
I don't know that you can justclean that out.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
I almost feel like these are just canned pours, but
that also feels like.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
You can't have a flight if it's canned pours.
That feels like a waste.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
You just wait until four people order a flight with
it and go okay, we got four.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
That feels like a waste.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
You just wait until four people order a flight with
it and go okay, we have afour-flight schedule.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
There is zero chance.
Didn't we talk about four?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You do the, we'll bring onemore.
You do what I do and you crackthe beer and then you pour it,
and then you put the Saran Wrapin the rubber band.
Boom, until the next one.
At at $10 a can.
Yes, you are taking extra steps.
No, at retail $10 a can.
But if you're serving at yourtaproom at the can, your cost

(15:01):
per pour is the flights also arenot you read.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
I mean, it's been a couple months now that we read
the article about ways to pissoff your bartender, or something
that they hate doing.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
It was the flights.
The flights are like a commonone.
But go buy beers.
This is our controversial 2024campaign statement Drink draft,
drink draft, drink draft.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
I don't disagree with that.
Well, that's the thing.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
We are 100% behind.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Yeah, that is our single political statement Drink
Draft 2024.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Support your local brewery.
Right here behind.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Alec at some point today, Ironically we.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
I dressed up for it.
I'm running under the DrinkDraft 2024 platform.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Ironically, we mostly don't drink draft on here.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I've got the gallon keg system here.
If we wanted to, I could pourthe 16 ounces in.
We don't want to do that.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Too much production.
Throw the invite out and wewill drink draft.
We will drink draft.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
At your facility.
We'll take pretty photos of ittoo.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
We will Even record a video.
Thanks, iron Horse.
All right, we're ready for thenext beer.
Yeah, you want to talk aboutthe Unknown Brewing Company Chad
, because when I looked it up,they went out of business in
2021.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, so, from what I could gather, the Unknown
Brewing Company please reach outto us, or somebody more
knowledgeable than us, but therewas only so much Google food I
could do.
These folks, like a lot ofbreweries during COVID, had to
figure out a way to shift theway they do business.

(16:57):
So they partnered up withBavana, shut down their taproom
and whatnot.
Like we said, please correct usif we're wrong.
If this reaches you, we usuallydon't.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, the Unknown Brewing Company, but Alec is
doing a beautiful pour Terriblepours, because I'm doing them
one-handed, I know.
Oh, that one turned out prettywell.
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Yeah, the whips side is weird, yeah, so that's why I
was just kind of trailing offhere into the sunset.
I believe this is a hazy IPA.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
I'm going would top the ledger's lid off.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I saw milk sugar, which to me says lactose.
There might be some lactose inthis this is the 420 episode and
I might have been high when Iread that the address goes to a
different brewing company name.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
It just says used to be unknown brewery.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
All right, so they're calling it the Hazy IPA.
Haze is the name of the gamethese days for IPAs, and Giggle
Juice sets the bar with ashotgun blast of juicy aromas
and tropical.
Bright, packed with taste, butnever heavy.
It is the perfect beer havingwe're having a laugh after all,
life's too serious.
Try some giggle juice instead.

(18:18):
And they got a budo lookingdude on the can.
Show that off, yeah that soafter you have your.
Oh.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
So yeah, how we've had this one for a while, right,
so after you have, yeah, so sothis was so this was brewed and
packaged by new Sarum Brewing,Salisbury, North Carolina, Fort
Bovona partners.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
So it seems like yeah , so essentially, these folks
are being ghost brewed on behalfof Fort Bovona, who does kind
of just an aggregation, like togo or, hey, buy a bunch of beers
.
There's some other beers that Idid order.
Are you feeling that off?
sorry, just like because it's asticker I can pull off this it

(19:06):
does say milk sugar, which to mereads as lactose, which to me
reads as lactose.
Lactose is a fermentable sugar,right?
Yeah, milk, that's what I'mgoing with, but it's the unknown
baroon company You're going tomake stuff up.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
smell 5.7%.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Did we get to that part?
Did I skip it?
Yeah, 5.7%.
You've been killing it withbabies lately.
Oh, much, much better than lastmonth.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh no, no shit, that was a rough day.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
That was a rough day you have been killing it with
missing the ABVs oh yeah, butit's not in the description.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I didn't read it.
I also didn't prep that muchfor today, so Bro, you're
literally wearing a tie.
Well, I prepped that.
I came straight from work.
You guys were smoking weedgetting ready for 420.
You enjoy your random drugtesting a week and a half.
Oh no, your boss is going to bepissed.

(20:11):
My boss is so fucking pissed.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
What is that?
Right, because all it says ontap is guava and milk sugar.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
And they call it on the can.
Is it hazing?

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Yeah, the pink stripe on the side.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
I mean, are we really calling this hazy?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I mean, it's hazy in color.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
It's cloudy, yeah, cloudy.
I don't know that it would be afull hazy.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
It's a different flavor.
Yeah, it's a little.
I'm getting a little dank.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Or are you just imagining the dank?

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Maybe grassy.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
You're just saying that.
I'm just saying words.
Now I could catch up to that.
It's not juicy.
No, it's not juicy at all.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I don't want to call it bunk but there's a flavor
that Not an off flavor, butthere's just a flavor there that
is different than we've had,that we've experienced.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well, if they were not a business in 2021, then
this is.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
How about?

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Get Stop.
Oh hold on, mate.
Or Best Buy 12, 15, 23, whichI'm assuming is their canned on
date.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, so it was canned four months ago.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
That's actually how it's branded.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
No, so it was canned four months ago, that's actually
not as bad as I thought itwould be, considering it's been
in the fridge for.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah, it got here a month ago.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
That's actually a lot better than I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, it got in the fridge a month ago.
Now I just have so muchquestions about this whole.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
I mean it's just got to be contract brewing,
especially if they got picked upwith this.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yes, and this is I'm getting confused on.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
So we have You're calling it.
What's the place you got thisfrom?

So, right here on the label.

sticker off.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
The sticker had all of the information that we were
just reading.
My guess is, what they're doingis they have sold the unknown
brewing company.
They shut this down to focus onthe unknown ginger ale company.
Yes, no, I'm not joking, that'sa true statement.

(23:10):
He has like four or fivecompanies that are all like the
unknown blank company and henarrowed down a few of them
during COVID, post-COVID tofocus on the ones that were
making the most money.
My guess is Giggle Juice hadenough brand following.
He could sell or license thebrand to Bavonna and then they

(23:32):
contract brew.
And I don't know anything aboutthis.
This is me purely making it up.
At this point, Bavonna could bejust acquiring hey, you have
all good beer but your brewery'sfailing.
We'll buy licensing rights toyour good beer that sells, and
then we'll find somebody else tomake it out and then we'll

(23:53):
collect them all and we'll sellyou four packs at a fantastic
price, and that's exactly thesame idea that I got off of what
I saw.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
I got the Scoop Dog from Wise man, Very North
Carolina based.
We might have a future beerwhen we're at our Portland
NASCAR race from a two-timeDaytona-winning NASCAR driver in
his brewery.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Michael Waldrop.
He had five different.
Please don't.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Don't what but but Mikey.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Oh God, I forgot you had him.
Did you actually meet him?
You ran him down.
I ran him down.
Isn't that how you do it?
Did you actually need it?
You?

Speaker 1 (24:38):
ran it down.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
I ran it down, isn't that how?

Speaker 1 (24:38):
you do it.
We're going to put a photo ofit.
Yeah, that's fine, I can watchit right here.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
So was that the belt challenge?
Yes, yes, at the Clash.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yes, it was.
I had the belt.
It was and you didn't get it.
I did not go to the Clash.
Is the belt here?
The belt is here.
Can we get the belt on thevideo?
Okay?

Speaker 1 (24:59):
I did not get to go to the Clash, so RIP Dam House.
Yeah.
So what we would do at the DamHouse.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
I feel like whoever had the belt lost it recently,
because it's been over sixmonths since it was last put up
for account.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Ah, they put it up for New Year's Day because
whatever.
So that's why we're out here.
You guys can fight over it.
Well, here champ.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Voice it over.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
You do sound like you're part of some random tag
team You're going to like clipon tie and it's going to like
come off.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Unfortunately not a clip on tie it, which basically
came down to beer pong.
And darts, Yep darts, and wewere younger water skiing around
a little AP course.
Somebody might have been fullthrottle, hit some mud, went ass
over team.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Oh you could put the belt on anything, yeah, anything
, but the originator was theTwice a year.
Those games.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
And it has to be put up at least twice, a year.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Thursday, wednesday and then sometime over the
summer.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, my favorite was winning it in Vegas and then I
had to Wear it home.
Wear it home on the flight homefrom Vegas.
Sir, can you remove your beltto go through the metal detector
?
Well, I won it on a weekendwhere there were probably a
handful of title fights.
People in the airport thought Iwas some overweight,

(26:27):
out-of-shape boxer a laWhat's-His-Nuts who won it like
the heavyweight dude who won itlike a few years later.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
He had the belly on him.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
What sport.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Boxing the heavyweight boxing guy who was
like he has a little overweight,a little pudgy, I literally do
not know.
We're going to cut all thisshit out.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Going back to the original thing, I was out there,
put the belt on the line and itbecame who could get a picture
with a NASCAR driver?

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Also, I was the only one who tried.
I took pictures of NASCARdrivers on the track from
hundreds of feet away thatweren't anywhere near me who got
close-ish to Jeff Gordon, mybrother, okay.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
He took a picture to Jeff Gordon, my brother.
Okay, he took a picture of.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
Jeff Gordon.
He didn't even selfie himselfwith Jeff Gordon in the
background.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
But he chased down Michael Waltrip.
He saw him.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
I asked him hey, Mikey, he took a picture.
He said sure, and kept walkingat full speed.
So I did you gotta catch meFull clip?
Took a selfie with him.
Winner, winner.
Retained the belt for the.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
And that was at the Coliseum.
Yes, it was the inauguralColiseum, so.

(28:22):
But anyways, this isn't aNASCAR podcast.
No, I was going to go back tothe brewing.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
So I looked it up.
Unknown Brewing was actuallyfive businesses.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yes, I told you that the facility was?

Speaker 4 (28:35):
great.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
And so whoever I saw Pop Flyer, somebody moved into
it.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Probably a great thing.
The guy went from Brewery,taproom distillery and ginger
ale company and food truck Tojust the ginger ale company.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
I told you.
I wasn't lying.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
It's just so interesting.
So I mean I don't so obviouslysomebody bought, like maybe he
sold off the Giggle Juice nameto this new Sauron or whatever.
So it's interesting, I don'tknow, Um, Um.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
We're gonna fridge this shit yo.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
What are we?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
starting with Roll the fruit man.
We got so many of these that itgets tough.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
And we talked about this.
Do we get on its own comparedto?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Compared to other fruited sours.
Where does this rest that we'vedone On the pantheon of fruited
sours?
Where does this rest that we'vedone On the pantheon of fruited
sours?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Even though you had to roll it.
Are you counting it with thesmoothie sours or just the
fruited sours?
Because, see, that's what?
Because I'm thinking like areyou really comparing this one to
your cucumber sour, which is afruited sour?
I didn't have to roll it.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
But that's the thing I rolled this one, but I don't
know that I had to.
It says gently roll.
The last one said gently rolland it came out as a sour.
So as a straight-up fruitedsour, it's not top five in
either category.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Yeah, because you would buy a lot of the cucumber
sour and drink it all the time.
You would not buy a lot ofthese and drink it all the time.
No, chad would buy some ofthese and drink it occasionally.
What are you?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
going to drink this over Mango marshmallow Chalk.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's not top five in eithercategory.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
But it's its own five in either category it, but it's
it's its own phenomenal.
Like we talked about all thestuff of it.
It's a it is a little bit tooof a um specialty category, like
it kind of like pigeonholeditself a little bit and it's
just that like I don't need thatgrape flavor all the time, but

(31:01):
I would.
If it were seasonal, I'd buy ita can each season.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
This would be one.
I don't think.
I don't think you types ofpeople that have random beers in
their fridge.
When I go over there they'llhave Coors Light or Corona.
But if I was going over to abrother-in-law's house and it's
hey, you want a beer?
Yes, I would like a beer.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
And they hand you this.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
No, and they were like this is what I have.
I have this Fruited Sour, or Ihave a Corona, but yeah, fruited
Sour.
I will take the roll of fruit.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
See and this is where I actually struggle In real
life with my beer fridge I don'tbuy A four pack of every weird
thing that I get.
So when I do have family comeover, I have to explain to them
here are the beers you can have.
You cannot have these onesBecause I bought One of them.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
It cost me $8.50.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, like no, you don't get to drink it.
Um, yeah, it's really good, itjust is not.
It's not a top fiver.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
No, but it's the second one from Hoosier.
Yeah, both really good, this isone.
Ah, they're both.
That's where we've beentrending and that's spending the
money to have it shipped in.
You're spending the money.
We're not shipping in for themost part IPAs or pale ales and
things like that.
So it's coming to us from aHoosier brewing.

(32:33):
It's gonna be something funkybecause it's weird and it makes
better content.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
What type of beer is the other beer we got today?
It's an.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
IPA.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Where did it come from?
North Carolina?
Wherever, just checking.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Hoosier Brewing.
If I'm out there and we've saidthat a million times I like the
stuff that you've made It'd bea safe bet if I'm on a bar in
the Midwest and we have HoosierBrewing, I'll try.
I will try, jeff Thoughts.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
I just had a wild-ass thought Uh-oh Shrunk.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
What about the phone you can smell?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
through.
I think somebody patented thatalready.
You can smell through.
I think somebody patented thatalready.
But you guys kind of talkingabout we don't get.
We live in the Northwest, we'rethe SEC of beer.
Everything has to be by thebook.
We don't get weird shit likePeople to be by the book.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
We don't get weird shit like people the port, can I
wantI?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
want to disagree with you the breweries that you're
going to, you're getting whatyou get an IPA you're starting
ocean but.
If you had to give me apercentage of breweries in the
Pacific Northwest that you wouldfind a roll, the fruit purple

(34:02):
punch plus the 5% but yeah, thisis what Tabor and Bavana, the
tastemakers, we're bringing.
We're a Northwest base, we getall this tasty beer locally.
I kind Northwest based, we getall this tasty beer locally.
We kind of feel bad bringingall this.
I kind of feel bad bringing allthis nationwide beer, but we're

(34:26):
American beer review not justWashington.
We're trying to see what thereis.
I'm a little sad that locallywe're not seeing a Purple Punch
or a Fruited Sour.
I don't know if that Obviouslythe palate of the Northwest beer
drinker isn't asking for it.

(34:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
I'm a little sad.
Well, we're just getting enoughshipped in.
It's not enough of like a needto be.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, that's probably also the exact reason why,
which is like samples actuallyyeah, but I got confused.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
54, 40, just don't make these types of beers.
I was thinking of 450 north Idon't know if any I can think of
, like one nice that makes likeish, like that time of day, like
, but great notion makes some ofthese variations that like I've
had a pb and j yeah like a beer.

(35:21):
I don't, I don't know.
I don't know any others off thetop of my head and they're
technically out of portland buthave a sponsor.
I don't know of any inwashington oregon that are doing
smoothie beers.
Doing those structures doeslike one a week, one other, they

(35:41):
do some, but there's not a lotthat are just shipping in,
shipping out so there's probablya reason why we're not seeing
it locally.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I wish I could roll into a tap room somewhere and be
like oh hey, here's this wild,crazy fruited sour we have, but
it's not an everyday drink, it'sin my beer fridge.
Not an everyday taste, but shitonce a year.

(36:12):
Fantastic, fantastic flavor tohave.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Well constructed.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I like it.
The pistachio beer was well puttogether, I like the pistachio
was shockingly good.
I like the roll of fruit somuch better giggle juice if it
was, if somebody threw it in thefridge at a party, I'd drink it
.
There's some flavors I'm notjiving with.

(36:39):
It's fun.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
That's kind of where my wisdom giggle just came from.
It's not quite a hazy.
I mean, they call it a hazy,it's not quite a hazy.
I'm upset.
How many times have we said I'mnot mad about it, it's fun, I'm
not going around in my way toget it.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
It's a serviceable IPA.
I'm not mad about it.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
I think if I saw it on tap I'd go.
I've had it.
I'm not getting it compared toit was a tap versus Hoosier.
I've never had their IPA.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Hoosier IPA.
I'll give it a shot.
I'll give it a shot.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
I'll give it a shot.
