Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is about to be good radio.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
To me, a craft brewer is much more of a mindset.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
We just opened two camps, spread the gospel of good beer,
good beer. Tons and tons of stuff going on in
the beer world.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
I love Kraft Beer.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I love different people's beers.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's the first favorite.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Cheers too old us beer geeks and those new to
the craft.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
What's on Tap High five?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
This is What's on Tap Radio beer and the culture
that flows with it. Kears, Beer Guru James Simpson and
Beer Logics Chadpilbe.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Oh finally.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
You can game the nineties theme song. Maybe I'll give
you a What's on Tap Radio high five when I
see you. Welcome to What's on Tap Radio? I'm James.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
I'm Chad.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Hey Chad, and I'll hanging.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Out in studio here on third mic over there, Stunt Beer,
Liver Harrolight Bill Horblight Bill, Hello Bill. Welcome to the
show everyone.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I'm excited. Got a lot of good stuff on tap
this week and didn't get the chance to discuss this
in the production meeting.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
Oh great, but throw me at curveball. We're ninety seconds
into the show and that includes the intro and you're
gonna throw me at curveball.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
The pitch is not a curveball, but I'll discuss that
here in a second. But before we get away, welcome
to the show. Got a lot a lot of great
stuff on tap this week. Pretty excited, but before we get underway,
things need to be done, meaning housekeeping. Let me go
and straighten up the curtains, vacuum up a little bit. No,
not that kind of housekeeping. No thanking our advertisers. I

(02:14):
know this is very important to me. Let's do it.
Thanking our friends, Tantrick Brewing Company, Superior past Control, be
allowed to conference events. We know to take an insurance
group the backyard grill, keeping the lights nice and bright
on Harbor Light Brewing and of course sponsoring our podcast,
Cass Brandy, Welcome to the show. So I was out
at my local beer retailer the other day and popping

(02:39):
up on the shelves October fests, October Fest beers. I
couldn't even find summer beers anymore. Do summer pilsners. I
don't know where they are. Are they in the clearance aisle?
I don't know, didn't see them.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
I can't believe we're talking about hitting summer beers in
August with a feather duster.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
It's on the sheld of me. And and look, I
get it. We talked about this every single year around
this time, but it's just to me. It just catches
me by surprise walking in, seeing the Halloween decorations, Halloween candy,
pumpkin beer is gonna be coming out pretty damn soon,
and then of course you see the October fests. But
I can't do it. I can't do it. I don't

(03:20):
do October Fest beers until after Labor Day. I have
to wish. I have to have some kind of discipline.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, think I think brewers who got the idea of
to do these pumpkin spice beers from the whole pumpkin
spice latte craze. Of course you need to follow. Yeah,
they got to follow the rules of Starbucks. If Starbucks
is not launched their pumpkin spice latte, you cannot release
your pumpkin spice.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Your feeling were weeks away from that. So anyways, I
was at the beer real tailer, saw this all over
the place. I was like, I can't do it. I'm
not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. So
instead of buying the Octoberfest beer because I don't worry
October is coming, Labor Day's coming, and then there's plenty
room for that. I've had this beer many times. I
was like, you know what, it's been a while since

(04:04):
I've had this beer, and I'm gonna start things off
brought to the table thanks to our friends over at
the backyard Groom. I'm kicking it off this week, not
throwing a curveball, Chad, but from our friends over at
Texas Leaguer out in Missouri City. I'm gonna do the
two Hopper. Okay, so this is there Two Hopper India
pale Ale and I'm a big fan of this beer,

(04:25):
have been for a long time since they've started brewing it.
And I was like, you know what, I almost went
for the Octoberfest, but I was like, you know what
National India pal Al Day was last week? We talked
about the Mount Rushmore vipas, and so I was like,
you know what, I'm gonna go pick this beer up
just for old times sake, just because I haven't had
in a while, and I'm gonna kick things off this
week for brought to the table with the two Hopper
from Texas leaguers that Okay, I didn't mean, I didn't

(04:47):
ask you. I didn't just I just took the rings.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
Go do it, open it up, and then wait, do
you hear the story on the beer.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I've got Samuel Adams Boston Logger glass. So I'm gonna
go and crack this two hopper up. So you told
you it's not a curveball.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Chad, No, no, no, it's not. It's a two hopper.
If you don't know what that is, that's a baseball term.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, I'll talk about that in a second.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Yeah, of course it shows about beer, James, not you
and your love for the Houston Astros. Bang the trash can,
all right, go ahead. What do you taste there, James,
He's taking a big swing out of the Samuel Lams
Boston Logger glass, which makes everything better.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay, let's talk about what you've been all.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Right, moving on?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
I got it, Okay. I saw the look on his face.
I said, it makes everything better.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
It's very it's bitter. That's all right, That's that's true,
Texas Leader, two hopper in your pillow. It's very bitter.
This is at seven point six point four percent alcohol
by volume.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
And you're gonna have to You're gonna have to qualify this, James.
But I kind of want to give you a moment
to compose yourself. Yeah, okay, okay, move okay, moving on.
All right, So the beer that I have. We ran
a risk this week of this being the final episode
of What's on Tap Radio. James is gonna freak out
when he finds out what beer we have, because if

(06:04):
James brings the same beer to the table that I bring,
that's the last time.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Years of doing this show, that's never happened.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Never had time. But we don't know what beers we're bringing.
We don't know, we don't share, we don't talk about it. Nope,
but this one could have broke the bank. But James,
you've talked about this beer on the show before. And
Bill harbor Light. Bill sitting here on third mic stunt
Beer Liver. He's like, I'm gonna do something special. So
he and his wife Jeanie, they got in the car,
drove all the way down to Katie, Texas. They went

(06:32):
down to the seven seven four nine three, and then
drove back and put in my hand. It says we're
cracking us open on the show and we're gonna shock James.
But from No Label Brewing Company, the Callie Boy, the
award winning in in. James like, how did you get that?
I just told you. Bill got in the car and
he drove down and by the way, don't give me

(06:54):
those receipts for gas. I'm not, I am not, we
are not a prophet show.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Bill not calling me. You know, I'm like a mile
away from No Label on the west side of town
here studio ass I.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Left my phone in home. Here's the truth behind this.
The award winning Caliboy silver Medalist at the World Beer Cup.
And they even put it on here a couple of crushes,
you know, for their marketing awards. And we will talk
about this. This is a West Coast style IPA from No
Label Brewing Company, and Katie Texas a good friend of
ours and listener Jason was down who lives down in Galveston,

(07:28):
came up and visited and we went to a beer
shared together at our buddy Larry's house, who's also a listener.
So there's our first two name drops right there of
the show. And want to thank Jason for hooking us up.
So we'll talk more about this beer and also get
more on James reaction. But this has been brought to
the table, brought to you by our friends at the
Backyard Grill on the northwest side of Houston, where I

(07:49):
brought the No Label Calli Boy and James brought the
two Hopper from Texas Leaguer. But James, tell everybody what's
on tap this week?

Speaker 1 (07:57):
All right, we were going to talk about a very
popular craft beer bar declares bankruptcy. What would the events
be at a Country Music Olympics? And it's about the
top time NFL is gonna be starting up. We're gonna
look at some NFL prices for beer and all this
is so much more. We got an actual pack of
Radeo show. You don't want to miss an out. It's
on coming right up the official What's on Tap Rideo
fun Factory the week. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
We like to have at least five practice beers before
we have our actual beer.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
All you need now, there's lots of practice.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
All right, What's on Tap Radio continues, All right, everybody's.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Got a beer. You gotta beer, I got a beer,
We got a beer. You know who else has beer?
The Backyard Grill on the northwest side of Houston. But
when you're drinking, you want to have something to eat too,
So go get yourself some grub at the buyg The
menu is amazing. They've got all your Texas favorites like steaks, pahtas, chops,
and it's all grilled on a wood fired grill. Got burgers,

(09:00):
you got wraps. Hey, if you're vegetarian, they got salads,
they got soups, homemade dishes, and specialties like smoky the
beer chicken. Oh yeah, smoked chicken injected with local beer.
Sounds delicious, right yeah, and don't forget the green beans.
I know you're thinking, wait a minute, is this guy
just talking about all the grilled stuff and you're gonna
tell me to eat your veggies. Hey, mom said, eat

(09:21):
your veggies. Over one hundred different menu items, get the
green beans, trust me, you won't regret it, and over
one hundred different beers head out to the backyard grill
in the corner WESTN. Jones Road on the northwest side
of Houston. Cheers all right.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
When I kicked the show off talking about how I
was at my local beer wheel tailor and I noticed,
you know, all these october Fest beers starting to pop
up on the shelves and Halloween decorations and Halloween candy.
And then I thought to myself, there, Chad, you know,

(10:09):
I'm thinking, you know, it also is happening this time
of year. You have a very a lot of very
excited parents that are.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
About pumpkin spice Lotte season. They're excited about kicking them
kids out of the damn house and not to go
play in the street, but get back to school.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Dropping those rugg rasts off to school where it's their
problem now, not ours. Which, uh, you know, I'm a
teacher and I'm already back at school, although the kids
don't go back until like another week or two. But yeah,
before you know, it kids are back at school and
the punkin Spice lott is gonna be served over at
the Starbucks and uh yeah, this year's halfway through, so

(10:54):
it is. Anyways, Uh brought to the table kick things
off with the Texas League or two hot for India
pallel from Texas.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
Leaguer before we go too far on that, because we
gotta we have to talk about that because you had
a reaction. I did, and we need but I want
to quickly say Bill and I had a reaction too
to our beer. We have the No Label Brewing Company,
Kelly Boy, what was our reaction? Yeah, this is a
pretty good beer.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
It was absolutely perfect example of a West Coast ip
a delish.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
I mean, I don't know how to describe it any better.
But what's interesting is the listener and friend Jason again
aim Drop, who gave this to us, took him forever
to go over.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
He said.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
He kept saying, yeah, I probably should go visit No
Label Brewing Company someday, and I kept saying, you need
to go, And he headed over to the west side
of Houston. Katie Texas rolled in there and he sent
me a text said, yeah, you were right, I should
have came a lot sooner and visited. By the way.
I also want to thank Fire Marshall, Matt who went
and scored some perpetual piece and I know he's gonna

(12:02):
save me a can. That's your cue, Matt. Don't you
drink all those?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I got a funny story about profetional piece if I
can get to it this episode, which happened this past weekend.
But yeah, so I I saw the two hopper at
text Leaguer. I almost went for an Octoberfest, but I
have to just say myself Labor Days, it's gonna come here,
It's gonna be here. I just gotta wait. And so
I picked it up and I just like this speeder.
I'm a big fan of text Leaguer. My you know,
friend's over a text Leaguer in Missouri City, Nathan Reese

(12:30):
and the whole crew over there, and uh, yeah, I
take a swing with this.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Yeah, you had a you had a reaction here that
you're doing it again. This is radio. I have to
describe it.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's your It tastes like wart w o r t
w o RT, which is basically the liquid before you
add the yeast.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
To it, and it's just well it's unhopped. It's basically
unhopped beer.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's like sugar water, if you will, and it's bitter,
but it doesn't have a lot of flavor to it,
which kind of disappoints me because I've had this beer
many times and I've always loved it, but this particular
experience for me, it's not good. I'm not a fan.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
So and the thing is is we've had so many
beers from them, and they are way for this wait
Texas Leaguer baseball team. They are home runs, they're really
good beers, and this two hopper you're saying.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Is just yeah, it's just it tastes like there's no
flavor to it, just bitter.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
So it's bitterness, but it doesn't have a hop character.
It's not really it can taste nothing. That's weird. I
wonder if the it was just a maybe it was
a six pack that got mishandled, or maybe just a
rare bat, you know, because occasionally you have canning issues.
The thing is, I know I know our friends over
there and Nathan, he'd want to know about this, and

(13:54):
so you know, we're not we're not throwing shade and
talking crap because they make really good beer, Like, so
this is just occasionally you get you get something that
just isn't you know, but we had that. We've had
this before. I mean, how many times have we opened beer.
We've actually opened sponsor beers on our show, and they
they were gushers, they were infected, right, Yeah, we opened

(14:15):
bottles and and they just start foaming. Everyone was like, well,
this is a drain pour. And that was from a sponsor. So,
I mean, we don't we don't love every beer that
we taste, and sometimes we get something that isn't up
to standard. And it's in this particular case you're saying
that this one kind of missed the mark. And that's okay,
you know we can.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
So I'm gonna have to move on to the next
beer after this. Yeah, and then so but the home
run with the Calli Boy from No Liberal Brewing Company
that Chad and Bill are enjoying right now.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
So, man, I tell you, I just I just wanted
to tell you again, thank you Jason for hooking us
up with this, but I kind of wanted to say, hey,
just kind of tell you we're drinking Caliboy and you go,
how the heck did he get that? But speaking of
how the heck do you get that? You're gonna be
wondering how the heck did I with this? For the
fun Fact of.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
The Week, now the official What's on TEP Radio Fun
Fact of the Week, brought to you by Who's ever
checked clear this week?

Speaker 1 (15:08):
It could be you, That could be you.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, you see how I did that? Set that up,
set myself up for a nice little toss.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yeah, all right, all right, ladies and gentlemen. We've been
talking about this more and more, and this came up
in the production meeting. Maybe we'll even get to it
this episode the Beer Mile, and maybe that's going to
be part of the show. I don't know. We've got
so many stories. Thank you Superior Pest Control of West
Michigan for sending us all these stories. But I was
digging into this. You know, the Olympics are going on

(15:37):
track and field events all that fun stuff, and I
was like, I wonder if they got anything with beer
beer related, and unfortunately they don't. But there is a
beer athon. It's like a beer marathon, which is actually
a five k race in New York City involves running
or walking or crawling to twenty six bars and you
drink twenty six beers. And if you can pull that off,

(15:58):
well you've completed the beer athon in New York City.
But that is not yet an official Olympic event. And
I'm gonna give you two fun facts here now that
are going to one's beer related ones.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Not.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
In nineteen twelve, Sizo Kandakuri disappeared from the Olympic marathon.
Who just disappeared gone. He's also credited with having completed
the world record for the longest marathon. Yes, normally, when
you think about world records for marathons, you think about

(16:34):
the shortest time. Nope, Schizo Kadakuri. He came from Japan,
and he was exhausted during the nineteen twelve Olympics because
he had to travel there on his own dime and
travel by boat and then by train. And by the
time he got there, the temperature was really hot and
he started to run and he realized he didn't have
enough strength to carry on. He came up to a

(16:55):
house and he asked for some food, and they took
him in, gave him some food, and he laid down
and they tucked him in bed and he went to sleep.
And when he woke up. He was too ashamed to
go back to the race, so he left and returned
to his family, which produced sake in Japan, and everybody
nobody knew what happened to him. He disappeared. Turns out,

(17:17):
whenever he re emerged and somebody found out about him,
they said, you want to come and finish the race,
So he came back. He finished the race, and he
has the world record for the world's longest marathon in
the Olympics. His time fifty four years, eight months, six days,
five hours, thirty two minutes and twenty point three seconds.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Such as a real life tortoise and the hair story is.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
But it's not the first time that somebody disappeared from marathon.
In the year nineteen hundred, twenty runners showed up to
run the marathon, but thirteen only made it to the
start line because the heat was so hot. One runner
dropped out after the first mile, saying, this is nuts.

(18:06):
I'm done, But George too qu Danu, I hoping I
am saying that correct. George to qu Danue of France
was so overwhelmed with heat that when he was running,
he's like, I've had enough of this crap. Came across
a cafe, stepped off the course when sat down, had

(18:27):
a beer, and he's like this a whole lot better
and running this stupid race. And in nineteen hundred, George
to qu Danue of France was the first marathon runner
to disappear from the course because he wanted to go
and drink beer. It's so your official ones that tap
radio fun fact the week, George to k Danu chose

(18:48):
beer over Olympic gold or silver or bronze or even finishing.
He refused to return and they declared him missed in action.
That's your official what's on tap radio fun fact of
the week.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Choices were made.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
And you're like, where does he come up with these things? Well,
you know when the Olympics are on and sometimes they
pop right to the top of your search.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
All right, speaking of the Olympics and speaking of a
beer mile coming up, let's talk about what would the
events be like at a country music Olympics. And then
michelob Ultra held its own beer mile. Let's talk about that. Oh,
this is so much more. Hang with us and plus
on a crack another beer. We got more to get you.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Believe in something. They say, we believe we'll have another beer.
This is What's on Tap Radio. Back to James and
Chad Superior Pest Control of West Michigan, Superior Pest dot Biz.
They are sponsors of the research department here at What's

(19:54):
on Tap Radio making sure that we.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Have all this awesome content. Give them a call or
reach out to them at Superior Pest dot Biz.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
During a break, I had to empty my Samuel I
was Boston longer Glass. I couldn't do it. I couldn't
do it.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
Try longer Glass, couldn't save it.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
No, I couldn't. But I'm going to crack another beer here,
and I know Chad and Bill are about to crack
another beer. But I'm gonna do something. And you, I
know out there in radio land you can't see me,
but what I'm about to do. You have to trust
me that I'm really, in fact doing this, because I
am going to do this. I'm not putting on a stunt,

(20:42):
not doing a bit. But I'm gonna cover my eyes
and I'm gonna walk over to my beer fridge. Here
at studios, I'm watching here.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
I've got I've got James on camera so i can see.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
This okay, And before I do this, Chad let me
kind of clean off the space. I don't trip over.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
I feel like we're doing the what I feel like
we're doing the bird Box episode again. Remember, so if
you don't know what the bird Box episode is, by
the way, you can go listen to our podcast, brought
to you by Cast Branding. They were when bird Box
came out on Netflix and everybody was blindfolded because they
couldn't look at the whatever it is, the spoiler. James
and I did an entire episode at the iHeartRadio studio

(21:20):
in Houston, went blindfolded.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
And I remember when people were walking by, because we
used to do the show at the iHeart Studios. People
would be walking by because there was a window. Yeah,
I remember, I'll never forget. After the show, people like
I'll never forget. People were like, what were we all
doing bird Box? And I oh, and then they're like, oh,
that's pretty smart. And I think here's the thing we did.
We spilled exactly zero beers. Okay, so I am going

(21:47):
to cover my eyes and I'm gonna walk over here.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
He is, I'm watching this. I got him on camera.
He is, his eyes are closed. He can't even find
the door. He's trying to find the door handle. Okay,
I could verify. We'll watch this is legit.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Actually my hands are covered.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
I know he bought a six pack at the last beer.
It would be something if he brought another can of that.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
All right, all right, here we go. Oh okay, we'll
see how this one turns out. Not what I thought
was gonna be. Uh. Santanld Brewing Company harmony hazy, I pa.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
I don't know anything about this beer at all now.
Santanald Berwn Company, largest craft bur in Houston, one of
the largest in Texas, Texas. They proclaim very boldly that
they are texas oldest craft brewery, which they are. Fantastic brewery.
Brock Wagner, great friend of the show, has done amazing things.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
I don't think i've ever brought this to the table before.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
I know a ton about their beers, but I know
nothing about this one. Like zero.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right, so it's a little hazy, not as hazy
as I mean. You kind of see through it.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
But might have settled out.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Oh it's night and day from the beer I brought
to the table. That has a lot of flavor to it,
very happy citrusy Uh, maybe some pineapple, some lemony flavors
to it. Mmm, actually lot, I like that. I don't
know if I've ever brought to this the table before.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I don't even know if I've had it. Next time
I come down to BYG backyard grill, I'm gonna hope
that they have it on draft.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Or six point five percent alcohol by volume. I'm gonna
I'm gonna let that breathe and let that really open
up in my Samuel Adams Boston Loger glasses, so I
can get a lot more romas than flavors. But in
the meantime, Chad, why don't you tell us what you're
gonna crack open here?

Speaker 5 (23:34):
But beer? That this is a beer that you know.
I'm just gonna give it to Harbor Light Bill. Let
him tell tell us about it, because this is a
beer he's very familiar with. Heard a lot about this.

Speaker 6 (23:44):
He knows nothing about this Yellow Rose Smash.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
Oh yeah, except from Loan Pint Brewery they found in Magnolia, Texas.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Thank you Jason again for hooking us up with this.
I just wanted to I know a lot. If you're
if you're tuning in now and you're like, wait a minute, Okay,
you're opening only Texas beers. Okay, first of all, our
flagship market where we started, Houston, Texas. But if you
want to go ahead and give us a beer from
wherever part of the world you are, you can give

(24:15):
us a beer and we will absolutely give you a
shout out. Well three you some love. If James ever
gets those hats made, we'll give you a hat.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
We can't go ahead and.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Yeah, I know, yeah, the protein well on your head.
But this is from this is smash beer, single malt
single hop I p a yellow Rose from our friends
in Magnolia, Texas. I promise we're going to get to
some darker beers. Matt, don't worry. We will change it
up here in just a second. But all right, so

(24:44):
that's what we're drinking now. We're continuing to.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
Show what kind of flavors do you get out of that.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
This is fantastic A nice India pay Al.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
You have you had that beer before?

Speaker 5 (24:55):
Bill, I have not had this be and what are.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Your thoughts on it?

Speaker 5 (25:00):
I like it.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
That's it's very good for a smash I p a.
It's very fruity, uh citrusy. Usually you don't get that
with smash beers because they're by definition are kind of
one dimensional.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
But this has a lot a lot going for clean fermentation.
Is what I like about the two beers that we've
had really no no off flavors, nothing that really makes
you question like they missed the mark on any of this.
Like these are just pow okay on point.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Since I've cracked open a India paleout on the beginning
that brought to the table with the two Hopper Texas
Leaguer and then now I cracked up with Saint Arnold
Harmony Hazy I p A, which is an I p A.
And then Chad started off the show with the I
p A I P A and now it's drinking another
I p A the Cali Boy from No Label, and
now he's drinking the Yellow Rose. Can I make a

(25:48):
long distance dedication to Fire Marshall?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Matt, your full ran down on.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
We don't want to wipe there you go, Matt, oh Man,
we don't need no ip.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Oh my gosh. So all right, that's gold that is
and it's it's just like bluegrass gold Man. That's that's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Oh you want to hear one more time. Okay, I
play a little bit of it one more time.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
We don't want no, ippy, we don't want to.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Only three or four ran down on.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Alright. Speaking of the Olympics, Chad kick things off or
not fun fact was a lot about the not Olympics,
but a beer mile and running the distance and fifty
four years and just to complete.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
This mile, not the ale the marathon marathon marathon yet yeah,
forty kilometers. But anyway, all right, let's just let's talk
about this beer mile thing. Yes, because we we we
talked about this in the production meeting and we got
some of the stats on this. And this was a
little interesting because the beer Mile has been going on
for a long time, and I say a long time,

(27:18):
ten years, maybe eight years, whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
I think it's probably been longer than that.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
Maye probably, yeah, I mean, but out of the blue,
we get this, we get this press release and it
hits our desk and it's like exciting, new a bit
event for the michelob Ultra Beer Mile. And I thought
michelob Ultra is now the official sponsor of the beer Mile.
No they're not.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
They just have their own Milo Ultra. But what's that
they just have their own beer.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
That's it. They They're like, well, if we can't get it,
if we can't beat them, let's join them. So they
created their own which.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Is not a bad idea in the fact that a
lot of marathon runners drink michelob Ultra.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Well, yeah, yeah, it's an easy beer to chug and
you're gonna run. And so I would imagine if you're
gonna run the michelob Ultra Beer Mile, you're gonna chug
the beer a lot faster and you're gonna be able
to run it faster. That would that was the theory.
And then so when we get this press release, we
also saw in here that it says exciting new event
for the michelobe Ultra Beer Mile twenty twenty four, and

(28:20):
I'm like, oh, what are they doing. Well, they added
a corporate relay event where you and three of your
friends can run a relay, so you don't have to
run the entire beer mile yourself. You just have chug
a beer run a quarter.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
That's the way I would go. I would go that
way because I can't do a whole beer mile, but
I can run a leg of one.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
Right, Yeah, I could do a quarter mile. Yeah, it'd
be great. This is fantastic, and I thought, oh, this
is this is this is outstanding, except I realized it's
just for the Michelobe Ultra Beer Mile, and it's not
an officially sanctioned beer mile event. And if you say,
wait a minute, officially sanctioned beer mile event, there's such
a thing. Okay, there's a world record for it. So

(29:02):
then I started looking at the results, and of course
michelob Alter Beer Mile just recently held. It was held
on August second, and the winners came in and I
was like, all right, let's see how fast they ran.
And Mage guy, she won the women's division, and Leith
Pool ran and won in the men's division with a

(29:24):
time of nine minutes and fifty three seconds and seven
minutes and thirty two seconds, respectively. And I'm like, Dan, wait,
hold on, wait, this is like a real competitive event
and you ran it in seven thirty two. I'm like,
the officially sanctioned beer mile, the world record is four

(29:46):
minutes and twenty eight seconds, and everybody else is running it,
and the women are running it under like six minutes.
And so I'm sitting here in like the winner of
the Michelob Ultra Beer Mile. Ran it in nine minutes,
like just under ten minutes and just over seven minutes
respectively for the women and the men, and I don't

(30:07):
I mean, I get it. It's fun. Thank you Michelobaltra
for continuing to add fun to our beer drinking and
you know, adding exercise to it, although I don't know
how much at all balances out. But just so we're
not confused, this is a corporate event that is sponsored
by michelob Ultra and is not the official Beer Mile

(30:28):
where there are world records there. I think there are
even medals given.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Now, oh for sure, that's in the Olympics in like
twenty years.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
I know, but you you laugh. But hey, they've got trampoline,
they've got break dancing, and that's what we've got.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
All right.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
So Michelobultra, thank you for adding fun to beer drinking
and exercise.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Speaking of the Olympics, what would the events be at
a country music Olympics. Let's discuss that coming up. This
is what's on tap of you to hang with us.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
The only thing we throw back on Thursday, he's a
pint of beer or two or three. This is what's
on tap radio. Back to James and Chad.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Alright, go back to what's on tap radio? About to
get into what would the events be at a Country
Music Olympics.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
I have a I have a thought on this. Actually
I don't. I don't know if this is considered a
thought on the Country Music Olympics. But when we were
at break Harbor Light Bill over here stunt beer Liver
and on third mic, he was talking about a five
k that he ran, and I'm like, dude, you got

(31:55):
to save that story for the listeners. Man, So what
what did you do?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (32:00):
This is a long time ago before Beer Mile ever started,
but me and my brother signed up for a five k,
got to the race about a half hour early, and
sure enough, bar right on the course was open. Him
and I stopped in for a beer. We're sitting there
sipping on it. Got about halfway through and all of
a sudden we look out the front window and here's
all the runners.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
And I was like, hey, uh, I think the race
just started. Told the bartender put those beers on ice.
We'll be back in about twenty five minutes. No you didn't.
You just You're like, hey, we'll cash out when we
come back.

Speaker 7 (32:34):
Oh my god, left everything right out the door, joined
the runners.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Did you pay your bill? Yes, we can pay our bill.

Speaker 1 (32:44):

Speaker 5 (32:48):
No, I don't even want to know Downtown Grand Rapids.
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
That's the same guy he used to bring on He
used to make his own martinis on an airplane. He
used to bring his own his olives and martini glass.
I did that to somebody. Somebody reached out to us
about that, and they're like, what year could you have
brought your own ingredients where you're just shaking up a
cocktail on the airplane.

Speaker 5 (33:09):
Oh, that was a mid nineties, early mid nineties.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
You could do that.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Wait, they announce on every plane you get on now
as a reminder, ladies and gentlemen, you are not permitted
to drink any alcohol that you brought on board, but
they will let you buy all the eight dollars beers
you want, right.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, let me take another swig of this. This
is the harmony. Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Hazy Ipa really
opened up during the break, but very tropical fruit notes,
candied orange pineapple aromas, maybe some candle open honeydew melon flavors.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Man, you are you have an amazing palate, James, I
don't know how you do.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
It, soft Malfuel, light body.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Actually you know what it is, folks. He has a
beard and he lets a little bit dribble down his
chin and he saves it for the break and then
he goes and then that's how he picks up the note.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Dad, don't give out my secrets again. Six alcohol by
volume and yeah, it's very very good, and I think
that's not I don't know if this is the first
time I've ever brought this to the table, but I'm
you're joining it and uh and Chad and Bill are
drinking the smash India pl from our friends over at
Long Pine Brewing Company out of Macnolia, Texas. One of
the Texas is most famous India palles.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
This is popular, realize. Yeah, if you if you go
on all the popular you know, chat sites and social
media sites and everything else, everybody talks about this beer.
From an I p A standpoint, I think we we
talked about what is an art car. Yeah, I'm saying
brewing company is number one selling I p A. Yeah, yeah,

(34:50):
but yellow Rose smash I p A is the one
that everybody wants and I remember, man, when it comes
out and it's so fresh, and this is this is
bang right here. I mean, this is delicious.

it does, although in Texas we played a lot of washers.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yeah, this is country music Olympics, guys, this is yes,
it's the team, all right. Coming in next on the list,
I gotta throw this one on there. Beer pong.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
I don't know. See that to me is more frat
boy than college. Yeah, that's more. That's I don't know.
That's okay, Okay, okay, But I mean if we're doing things,
you know, like they have one hundred meters dash, why
can't you have a beer chug?

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (37:56):
Now I would do country music beer chug.

Okay. How about coming next on the list. Lawn mower racing.
There you go, Chad, lawn mower racing.

Speaker 5 (38:06):
They have that. That's a thing. I love that. Now,
this is an event, This is an event that I
can get behind right here. Although I'm gonna finish dead last, because,
as I've explained to Bill, I like mowing my lawn

oh I because I have a riding lawn more and
I'm usually drinking one of Bill's beers.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
All right. Coming next on the list, If the country
music had music Olympics, and what events would they be?
Banjo string breaking?

Speaker 5 (38:39):
Okay? I immediately thought of Bill when you say country
Music Olympics, and I'm like, Bill's a big bluegrass guy,
and I'm like, please tell me they're like smashing banjos
or something and they have banjo string breaking.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
Well, I wouldn't go with banjo string breaking. I'd go
with restringing, you know, fastest string. Oh wow, listen Bill. Okay,
not a fun event to watch, Bill, But hey, I'm
sure it's a talent watching them restring, and like, oh
that's talented watching them break it. Everybody's like yeah, I
can see that.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
All right.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Coming next on the list, A note holding contest. Hold
a high note as long as you can, depending on
how drunk you are from earlier rounds, this could be
quite a show.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Okay, I think there has to be you have to
stipulate though, before hitting your high note, you have to
drink a certain number of beers because otherwise this is
a stupid event.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
All right. Coming next on the list beer can smashing.
So after you chug the beer, whoever can smash their
cans the flattest.

Speaker 5 (39:45):

It's got to be safe, okay, so we're to.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Save Yeah, all of this is so safe.

Speaker 1 (39:56):

Next on the list, line dancing or square dancing. Definitely
have to have sawdust on the floor, as is mandatory.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Moving on, all right.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
So the number one thing, the number one response, What
would the events be at a country music festival or
a Country Music Olympics? Chad said it beer chug beer chugging,
beer chugging. And if you can't shotgun or chug a
beer super fast, how would you expect a place on
the podium at the Country Music Olympics.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Yeah, I was gonna say, come on, man, Yeah, So
that fun fact. I did win a beer chugging contest
in Cozamel, Mexico. I did. I was a senior frogs,
and I won one.

So do you have what it takes to be a
decathlete At the Country Music Olympics.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
I did not win a gold medal for that. For winning,
I did win a free beer, though.

speaking of crushing things, we put down those two I pas,
Matt fire, Marshal, dude, don't pull the alarm. We're gonna
crack open another beer here real quick before James gets

(43:30):
to the hold my beer and watch this from odd
Side Brewing Company. Yeah, from odd Side Ales. It's part
of their barrel age collection twenty twenty three. Dark of Night,
Imperial Stout, Aged and Whiskey barrels comes in about twelve
point four percent, About twelve point I like, I like

(43:51):
how he not at twelve point four poor is like
ten w thirty though, well, I say that because it's
twelve point four to four percent, But no, does it
really say that. Yeah, that's how they get that specific.
I was gonna say this very specific and it. Honestly,
this is like syrup. Oh dude, that got clumpy. Did
you see that? That got really clumpy? Okay, there may
be some proteins in here, all right. Anyway, we may

(44:12):
be flying around the room backwards here in just a second.
But what do you pick up on that? Real quick?
Huge whiskey aroma, A lot of chocolate notes. Oh that's whiskey, whiskey,
whiskey all the way. Yeah that's boozy. And yeah, so
uh okay, that's what we kick off our number two
with here at the Beer Logic World headquarters in drinking emporium.

(44:36):
And uh, James is still working on his harmony. I'm
assuming yeah, I's.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Got some in my glass here. I'm drinking kind of
slow par to you guys, but that's all right. I'm
flying the ship here a beer liver. I don't, I don't.
Maybe I have good.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
News for you, till James, based on last week's episode,
because non alcohol beer, it's just gonna the bubble is
gonna burst. It's gonna go away.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Corn.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
You you don't have to worry. People will be lying
up to come back and drink beer with you all
over again. They're gonna be sitting there because when James
did his sober January January January, like nobody wanted to
come hang out with them.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
It's took me like three months for me to get
people back over here because people are like, oh, I'm
not going over there.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Quit drinking beer, and like, well, no I didn't. It's like, yeah,
I listened to the episode like for four weeks.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Well here's the deal. Okay, So people listen to the
show on demand whenever they want. So they're listening to
the show in February or maybe March, and the show
aired in January, but they're listening to it thinking, okay, well, James,
it's here, it is March. He's drinking in a beer.
So I'll guess I'm gonnaive him a call when you
know he's done with this little bit of his.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
And then they forget to call. All right. So Bill
and I we went to the opposite of the spectrum,
from Houston, Texas, all the way to Grand Haven, Michigan.
We're drinking the odd side als and James, he is
not drinking non alcoholic beer, but he does. He will
set his beer down and tell you to watch this.

Speaker 4 (45:58):
Hold my beer and watch they brought to you by
the Ring Malda ten Hacen insurance group, where they'll cover
you for just about everything except this.

Speaker 6 (46:08):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Give a shout out to our waffle house servers. They
got some good news. They're getting a raise. They're getting
three dollars per hour. That's before tips.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
Wait, they're getting two three dollars or three dollars.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
They're getting three dollars per hour. Okay, they're getting three
dollars per hour. The minimum wage for tipped employees is
two dollars and thirteen cents as long as they're able
to make at least seven dollars and twenty five cents
an hour with tips. But if you make three dollars
an hour, this is a kind of crap you got
to put up with.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
All right, Well, but it depends on the state. And
which state are we going to.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
We are going to South Carolina, all right? Yeah. Police
in South Carolina are looking for a customer who showed
up to a waffle house in Myrtle Beach earlier this
month very intoxicated.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
Wait, it was the waffle house and somebody came in intoxicated.
That could have been any number of deaths.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
But I'll get Yep. The man was drinking beer and
being belligerent. Then he pulled a cigar and started smoking it.
A female server confronted him and snatched the cigar and
taking it behind the counter. Yeah, the customer freaked out, yep,

(47:19):
hopped over the booth, followed the employee to the back
of the restaurant. He pulled out a knife, punched her,
and after she fell to the floor, he kicked her
in the head and neck. Thankfully he didn't cut her
with a knife, but someone who was with the guy
tried to break it up. They got cut, leaving blood
behind the counter. The person left with the assailant, so

(47:42):
apparently they weren't too badly injured. There's no word on
the server's condition, and it doesn't sound like the police
have arrested anyone yet. WHOA So if you know the
anything about this happened in South Carolina Myrtle Beach at
a waffle house where a guy just decided to smoke

(48:05):
a cigar in the middle of the restaurants. Of course,
you know she's gonna come up to and go, excuse me.
Probably very nice about it too, you can't be smoking that,
And probably was very obnoxious and belligerent and probably said something,
so she probably snatched it from them and set them off.
And yeah, went behind the counter, pulled a knife and luckily,

(48:25):
luckily she wasn't cut. But still, I hope they can
apprehend this guy. So you hold my beer and watched
this a customer I attacked his server at a waffle
house after she took his cigar. That's been your hole
my beer and watched this brought to you our my
our friends at Renald's and Ink and Insurance Group. We're
a little insured you for many things, but not attacking
a poor waffle house and servant who's just doing her job.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
And that's why we don't have waffle houses up here
in Michigan. That's why. Yeah, because you can't smoke cigars
in them. We were, we were gonna, we were all
set to open up waffle houses all over the Mint
and Upper Peninsula, Lower Peninsula right there at mackinaw Bridge.
But when they found out, oh yeah, you can't smoke
cigars in there, and they're like, eh, maybe let the
South have them.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Well, it's very important to have waffle houses because that's
how we in fact know how powerful natural disasters are.
Because if waffle house closed. Things are not looking good.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
So that's true. You have waffle house shuts down. Everybody
you bear bored up your windows and dig a cellar.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Yeah, start saying to prayers. All right, we gotta take
a break coming up. How much are you going to
spin for beer at every NFL stadium? And uh oh yeah?
What was a very popular craft beer destination? Is uh
declaring bankruptcy? Will tell you who that is?

Speaker 3 (49:38):
All?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
This is so much more. Hang with us, we'll bright back.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Beer has hops, hops or plants.

Speaker 5 (49:43):
Plants make salad.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
So beer is salad. Yeah, what's on tap radio?

Speaker 5 (49:51):
James and Chad talking about beer?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
You're hole my beer? And watched this Watch this this
week if you miss it. Thanks to our friends over
every nodded to make insurance group still at large. This
customer who was bligerently drunk and went into a waffle
house and lit up a cigar, and a waitress came
around to tell him, hey, you can't smoke that in here.

(50:25):
It was blidgerant, So she took the cigar from him
and walked around behind the counter, and he chased her
and grabbed a knife. Luckily she wasn't stad but she
was injured. He did hit her a couple of times,
but he's still at large. So if you know any
about the whereabouts about this guy, please call your local authority.
But we're talking about the waffle House Index, and a

(50:45):
lot of people might not be aware of what the
waffle house index is.

Speaker 5 (50:49):
Okay, I do know this, but I want to quickly
add one little caveat comment to this whole thing. If
a customer is misbehaving, doing something that they they are
not supposed to do, and they are obviously drunk, grabbing
something of theirs is going to probably incite them to
do something else, seek your local manager or local authorities.

(51:12):
Please don't take matters in your own I'm not saying
she deserved it by any means, because she didn't. But
you're dealing with drunk people coming into the waffle house
at two am.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
Don't don't cigar bad, don't grab it though, make matter worse,
all right. The waffle House Index, for those who were
not familiar.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Well, it's a metric named after you, bigotitous. The Southern
US chain waffle Hou is known for its twenty four hour,
three sixty five day service and since the restaurant always
remains open and has to be given. Rise to an
informal use but useful metric to determine the severity of
a storm and likely to scale assistance required for disaster recovery.
And it was coined by a former administrator of FEMA,

(51:55):
And basically it says that green full menu restaurant has
power and damage minimum. Yellow limited menu power is either
absent or delivered by a generator or food supplies is
running low. Red restaurant is closed in a case severe damage,
severe flooding, severe destruction to the restaurant, And it may
be the end of the world.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
That's right, man, If waffle houses are closing, you know what,
just assume Kim John un won and he is coming.
I mean, like things are gonna be bad.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
It just it could be the end of the world
if it's red and you see waffle house closed.

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Yep. Well, speaking of yeah, I mean, first of all,
waffle house closing on just any reason insane.

Speaker 1 (52:40):
Just think they closed after this. They probably just cleaned
up the blood, mopped it up, and continued on serving
their their hash browns and pancakes.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Yep. Well, the end of the world as we know it.
As you said, Well, what if it was the end
of the world of beer as we know it?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Because you know, he said in a beer last.

Speaker 5 (52:59):
Week, Yeah, I know, I said, the na beer is
now the world beer like, like the world of beer
is going to just change as we know it. Why
do we know this, Well, the popular beer chain World
of Beer has filed for bankruptcy. And this is this
is pretty big news considering that when the company was

(53:20):
founded in two thousand and seven and they were growing
with the explosion of craft beer a thriving business. In
twenty thirteen, they were named one of the ten fastest
growing chains in the US. I mean, they were going
to be the next Applebee's, the Back Steakhouse.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Do you know where World of Beer started? What state?
I do not. It's always it's usually a subject to
hold my beer and watch this Florida.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
Yeah, yeah, started in Tampa, which is also where our
Back State Steakhouse started. But the company currently has twenty
five point six million dollars in secured debt and they've
closed fourteen locations over the past year, and there are
thirty three restaurants, mostly in the Southeast and basically over

(54:05):
half of these our franchise own locations, which means the
other half or not, and many experts are citing that
part of the demise of the brand comes from many
people who have got into the business with having zero
restaurant or industry experience, but cashing in on the wave

(54:30):
of craft beer. So World Beer Bar and Kitchen, which
over a decade ago was named one of the fastest
growing chains in the United States files for bankruptcy and
I found it interesting in the article says the post
pandemic operating environment has forced another I don't know if

(54:53):
this is post pandemic. Maybe that's part of.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
It, but I have had an impact on it.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
Right, I mean, we're yeah, do we really need to
say post pandemic anymore? I mean, can we just say
that we know that any place that's open right now
was affected by it. But this is just another reason
to go out and support your local craft brewery, your
local craft beer bar. Go out and support them, because

(55:21):
guess what, they're operating in a post pandemic environment, just
like they the world of beer is, and they're trying
to make a go of it. So go out and
support them. But I like, I'm just gonna say I
don't wish World of Beer any ill will. I have
had so many great times there. And by the way,

(55:42):
I'm gonna give a shout out. I'm gonna give a
shout John byrd Man, that guy right there, World of
Beer extraordinary.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
That guy, he he knows he was with the World
of Beer for a long time.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
Yeah, he was, and I think he was without back
before that. But he's there in Tampa. Solid guy. I'm
a fan of the show. He's a good friend and
nosecraft beer and knows how to run a restaurant too.
So I've watched him.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
And I think he was at the Katie location, and
the Katie location is still up and going right. Yeah,
I was there maybe a few months ago at the
World Beer.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
And then there was one of the he opened, the
one in sugar Land and then that one that one
had to close. Yeah, there was, and there was a
reason for that, and we're not going to talk about that,
but uh, we're not we're not talking about it. We're
moving on, okay, off air.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
But it's just Bummery because it's a cool spot.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
It's a very cool spot.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
They have food and they have good beer on tap.

Speaker 5 (56:43):
And entertainment too. They bring in Yeah, they bring in bands,
and they have they have a lot of and you
can what it's. It's a lot like another popular chain
that Bill and I went to, only the beer doesn't suck.
We would don't say the name of it.

Speaker 6 (57:03):
I'm not, I'm not, but it seems like they either
they don't go through their beer fast enough and it
gets old, or no one has ever ever cleaned the beer, like, oh,
it was so bad.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
I could see that with these big chains and these
distributors not coming in and cleaning the lines.

Speaker 5 (57:20):
Yep, it was a It was a it's a very
popular chain where you can go and you can get
beer and other food items. Yeah, I mean if you
want wings. I mean I think they have wings there yet.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
All right, wow, So got like to hold my beer
and watch this. I think what happened is people aren't
people aren't raising their kids anymore. I don't. I don't
know what's going on. I mean, there's so many I
see it in the school. The kids are acting a fool,
and I think it's just because of the generation. The
parents just throwing screens in front of the kids and

(57:53):
going all right, well, I'm just gonna have my kid
watch screens all day and as long as they're quiet,
and then they got.

Speaker 5 (57:59):
To run in a cool But it's very important anybody
like that at all, except I do.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
But it's very important to raise your kids, not only
just to you know, be polite and be a good person.
But there's some things that parents are not teaching their children.
And it happens a lot with the gen Zers. Now
gen Z, if you're not sure, they're born between ninety
seven and twenty twelve. But what's happening as they're getting older.

(58:25):
They're going into hotels and they don't know the first
thing about hotel etiquette. For example, the mini bar. They
see a mini bar and they're thinking to themselves, Hey cool,
look at all these great snacks and look at these
little bottles of liquor.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
How cool is that?

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Oh no, So if you said it at a hotel
in the past decade, you know that there's trap set,
Like if you touch those snacks at a mini bar,
they're gonna charge you for it. And a group of
gen Z girls recently encountered it for the first time
at a hotel in Vegas, and they couldn't believe how
much everything costs, and so they call the front desk
to make sure they wouldn't get charged for adjusting the thermostat.
So here's a little clip with these girls on TikTok

(59:03):
figure out being their first time in a hotel by themselves.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
A currently in a hotel in Vegas, and everything at
this hotel is booby trapped.

Speaker 4 (59:12):
Hi, I see all the fridge.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
It says that there's an additional fifty dollars charge for
adding items to the fridge.

Speaker 7 (59:20):
Personal items.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
They're gonna charge your sent out. They go, it's a
mini bar only, So like, I can't put my water
bottles inside the fridge. No, Now, if you replace or
touch anything from the mini bar, it's fifty dollars if
you want.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
To hang your twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
So there you go. Gin z Ors are actually encounter
hotel mini bar fees for the first time. So parents,
talk to your kids not only just about being a
good person, but what happens when you go to a
hotel and touch the mini bar. All right, we got
to take a break out there, sot have some fun
with that. So to come, let's look at how much
you're gonna pay for a beer in every NFL stadium
this year. It's what's on top of your hang with
this world bred back.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
All right, We're going to eat healthy and start exercising today.
Oh look, beer, beer, beer, what's on TAB Radio continues.

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
Hope, welcome EGA one Sun TAB Radio. It's a happy
go lucky time here. And uh, when we when we
think about happy go lucky times, I think festivals and
fun times. And Bill and I were talking about one
of the festivals coming up, and uh, I never once

(01:00:45):
has ever crossed my mind to go to the Minnesota
State Fair. And yet we're going to talk about it
here in just a segment, but uh or in just
a second rather, But Bill and I are enjoying this
odd side. What does this beer again? Called the Dark
of Night? Dark of Night? Yep, it's an Imperial stout
age did whiskey barrels perfect. It's the perfect beer for

(01:01:06):
whenever you are sick and tired of dealing with your
kids and you want to send them back to school,
or you realized I never taught them about the mini
bar and man, I've I dropped the ball as a parent.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Parents father of the Year goes to not me talk
to your children about if they're going out to you know,
Vegas for a festival, or maybe they're going out somewhere
for a festival and they're gonna be hanging out at
a hotel with the mini bar. Yeah, I want to
talk to him about the fees that ensue if you
you know that water they have to sitting there, that

(01:01:38):
uh aquafina that costs you about a dollar at the Walmart,
I gotta cost you a dollar at the mini bar.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
No, no, you crack up. In fact, yeah, it was
funny you say that, because I noticed that I went
to a hotel one time and if you opened the fridge,
just opened it, they charged you fifty bucks. And I
was just like in the story.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
I was shocked, like what I hear the gen zers,
Like what if I'm just a thermostat, am I allowed
to do that? Yep? You'ren't even allowed to put your
own soda, beer or water in the mini fridge and
some of these bars. And this doesn't.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
Sound like a fun time, like if I'm visiting this hotel,
like I'm not there, But I also know that I
did not do my job as a father to educate
my son who's traveling all over now for work. And
it's like I feel like I need to. In fact,
you know, go await take over, James. I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go call my son right now, maybe a break,

(01:02:33):
I'll call him and just remind him, Hey, son, listen,
don't touch the mini bar. It's not worth it. No,
it's way cheaper to actually get in the elevator and
go down and order or drink at a hotel bar.
And that's not true.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
Well, how much is the Snickers bar out of the
mini bar? It's gonna run you like, what, ten to
fifteen bucks?

Speaker 5 (01:02:48):
I was gonna say, Snickers bar out, but now today
it's like I was gonna say, probably like eight bucks
the mini fridge. Yeah, it's not cheap, no. I mean
when I was doing this, when I was traveling a
lot for Beer Logic conferences and events pre COVID, it
was still like five bucks for a Snickers bar.

Speaker 7 (01:03:05):
I know.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
It's insane.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
And don't try to pull open the bar. Yeah, well,
don't try to pull a fast one. I'm like, oh,
I'll just go to CBS and go buy a Snickers
and put it in the many bar. They'll never know. Yeah,
they know. They know all the sale codes, they know everything.
The serial numbers.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
All right, yeah, well all right, well Minnesota, which is
not Michigan. I know. I get so many people say, hey,
you moved, you moved from Texas to Minnesota. Right, No Michigan,
but Minnesota State Fair. Uh, they're having some fun up there.
I like this idea, this is this is a feel
good story for me. We normally save the field good
stories for the end. But they're they're offering up a

(01:03:41):
festival with new specialty drinks. And these are specialty drinks,
very focused on the alcohol in nature, but also plenty
of beer selections. The fair announced ready for this, brace yourself,
like five ten, twenty thirty different new drinks, no, sixty

(01:04:02):
three new drinks for the twenty twenty four Great Minnesota
Get Together.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
That's odd. So usually that it's like fried something, you know, right,
fried banana twinkies or something.

Speaker 5 (01:04:15):
Well, they probably had that too, but there's there's a stick.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
Yeah, they're specializing in drinks. I like that.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
Sorry, screaming babies and strollers, black socks and sandals and
mystery meat on a stick. All right, the trailer parks
are empty. Whoa, We're going to the Minnesota State Fair.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
WHOA?

Speaker 5 (01:04:29):
Yeah, baby, But no this is a little bit different.
Sixty three new drinks and some of the highlights that
I wanted to talk about. A frozen spicy pineapple margarita,
which it's frozen, it's spicy, it's pineapple, and it's a margarita.
You probably know what's in it. And there's also a
ready for this, a pina cider. See how do I

(01:04:53):
I don't want to blow this, but it's a peanut
cider lotta. So it's like a pina colada, but with apples,
and so it's a cider lotta more than a feeling slushy. Yes, yep.
So you got s'mores being toasted, marshmallows, rich chocolate, and
graham crackers all infused into a slushy and alcoholic slushy.

(01:05:16):
But on the beer side, how about it? This is disgusting.
In fact, they had to shut the festival down. Blueberry
pancake lagger. Who likes blueberries? Here? Raise your hand if
you like blueberries, shut up, put your arm down right now.
Blueberries are devil's fruit. There's also a grilled pineapple lager.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Now this grilled pineapple lager.

Speaker 5 (01:05:38):
Yeah, if you've ever had grilled pineapple, it's absolutely delicious.
Love to turn it into a Oh it's fantastic caramelized
on top of that. Yeah, they're gonna throw this into
a lagger. An iced tea lemonade blonde ale. Now I've
had lemon and lemonade blonde alees. I've had tea beers,

(01:05:58):
but I've never had an iced tea lemonade blondale. The
combination basically an Arnold Palmer beverage with alcohol. That's called it.
John Day nice Hey, dude, Harbor light Bill throwing in
pearls of wisdom. And this one here, I do like
this one. A lot mustard stain IPA inspired by the

(01:06:20):
Perfect Food. Oh yeah, the Fair food condiment. Yeah, everybody
loves a mustard on a corner. I love me a
corn dog for sure. There get you youah in their
secession ipa spiced with mustard seeds. I don't know if
even Fire Marshall Matt would go for that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Yeah, was this Martin House.

Speaker 5 (01:06:40):
So these are just some of the sixty three new
drinks being featured at the Minnesota State Fair, which includes
mustard stain ipa.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
I would try it once.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
I try all of all of those, absolutely, especially the
grilled pineapple one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
I'm all over that you went into the blueberry pancake.

Speaker 5 (01:07:04):
I would just so I could say that I tasted,
you know what the Devil drinks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
You could tell this was a beer that turn blueberries
are awful when you come around. And this happened in Minnesota.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
Minnesota, Minnesota at the state Fair.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
All right, speaking of Minnesota. Football season is about to
kick off, you got college football about to start, you
got the NFL about to start, and we get this
list usually about this time each year, and let's go
ahead and take a look. Is how much you're going
to spend on a beer at every NFL stadium from

(01:07:38):
cheapest the most expensive. Now, obviously we don't have time
to get all I have.

Speaker 5 (01:07:41):
How much I'm going to spend at Spartan Stadium this
year on beer whenever I go see Michigan State And
the answer is a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Yeah, you know, you know, whenever you go to a game,
you're gonna empty your pockets because these beer prices are
getting more expensive each season. And so the data over
the prices year over year, No, they don't. The data
from team Marketing report indicatese these smallest beer size at
every stadium a fourteen point five dollars serving on average

(01:08:09):
runs fans about eight dollars and eighty one cents or
about nine dollars in seventy six per pint, a twenty
cent increase year over a year.

Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
It's about right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
And shockingly, New York Giants and New York Jets who
share MetLife Stadium got a decent rate for the cheapest
smallest brew available, with the prices arriving about five dollars
per beer or forty two ounces per ounce. What and
fans of the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons Miami Dolphins are
also in luck, sharing these same prices as those supporting
their New York neighbors. So we talked about Minnesota, this

(01:08:42):
Minnesota Fair. Where do they come up on this list?
They're ranking twenty two. You're about to spend about ten
dollars and fifty cents price per beer.

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
So now when you say they ranked twenty two, So
if you're ranked number one, does that mean you're.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
The highest the cheapest, you're the cheapest.

Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
One's the cheapest, so twenty two, so they're they're definitely
one of the more expensive ones.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
So let's break down the top ten. So you got
top ten, you have Arizona Cardinals at seven dollars. Number nine,
you have the Washington Commanders at seven dollars, Tampa Bay
Buccaneers seven dollars. So this is kind of all a
tie a tie. Yeah, Cincinnati Bengals, you're gonna spend about
six dollars, Houston Texans, NRG, you're gonna spend six dollars,

(01:09:21):
Atlanta Falcons you're going six what is it? Five dollars?
Mimy Dolphins.

Speaker 5 (01:09:27):
Real quick, I want to see somebody post a picture
from NRG Stadium at the Texans game with a six
dollars beer tag us in that because they ain't happened.
I'm sorry, I don't care, because art car is not
six dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
What about a Michaelo Vulture or something? Maybe Detroit Lions
five dollars, New York Jets, like I just mentioned in
the New York Giants all the five dollars. But the
most expensive you have at San Francisco forty nine ers
twelve dollars.

Speaker 5 (01:09:57):
Big surprise, ere Yeah, I'm shocked.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
The Saints also twelve dollars. But yeah, so you know
if you're going out to a game this season that
you are going to spend some coin on the beer,
and not just the beer. It's the food prices as well.
The food prices, everything's expensive.

Speaker 5 (01:10:14):
I get a spartan stadium, I get a dog, mustard
and a beer.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
How many beers do you get per game? Do you
just do one?

Speaker 5 (01:10:21):
I typically do one because I mean we tailgate, yeah,
and my goal is not i'd like, my goal is
not buzzed or drunk or anything stupid like that. But
I like to have a beer while I'm watching the game, right,
So I tailgate and I eat. When I go to
the stadium, I like to have one beer and then
usually about the third quarter, right in the middle of
third quarter TV time out, I run down get a

(01:10:41):
hot dog and mustard.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
Nice. So there you go a list of the beer
prices at NFL stadiums this season. So NFL, you know,
Giants five dollars to San Franco forty nine ers twelve dollars.
All right, coming up in the last segments, drinking beer
out of this certain vessel. I don't understand how people
get into it, but we'll talk about it all this

(01:11:03):
so much more coming up in the last segment. We'll
be right back.

Speaker 4 (01:11:07):
Here at what's on tap? Radio. We know two types
of people, those you drink with and those that make
you drink. Oh, your parents are coming for the weekend.
Either way, we're drinking.

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
We don't think Our friends at Tantrik Brewing Company located
in Alegant, Michigan, right there on the Kalamazoo River. Beautiful sites,
beautiful beer, beautiful food, and uh yeah, you see the
beer logic guy in there hanging out stop by get
a free What's on tap? Radio? High five, great beer,
great times, great food. Located an Algant, Michigan, Tantrik Brewing Company.

Speaker 1 (01:11:47):
That's quite a very interesting show. I'm just gonna say,
we have behind the scenes.

Speaker 5 (01:11:54):
That we haven't even talked about have happened.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
But we're professionals. We've had a lot of technical difficulties,
but we trucked through it to bring up what just happened.

Speaker 5 (01:12:08):
No, no, no, I like how you just went like,
are we going to talk about the technical difficulties? No, no, no, Harry,
I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this. Okay to start,
y'all didn't even know this, but it happened. My computer
blue screen of death, boom Fried shut down, but we
were able to power it back up and get it

(01:12:28):
back up and rolling. Okay, no joke. Accident happened. I
dropped a pair of my reading glasses and it fell
three feet off my table and landed directly on the
surge protector kill switch, which killed all the power to
my board and everything else. And we had a power

(01:12:52):
all back up. And then the most unusual technical difficulty
of all time that we've ever had a on Tap Radio. First,
James had a cockroach.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
Dude, that was a big cockroach. That thing was the
size of like.

Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
Like a hockey.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
That was a grown that was a full grown cockroach.
And I'm watching Chat's doing this story and I'm just
watching them like you better not jump at me, because
they do.

Speaker 5 (01:13:21):
They fly. And by the way, this segment should be
brought to you by our friends of Superior Pest Control,
West Michigan. But last segment once on Tap Radio for
the week brought to you by our friends at Tantrick
Brewing Company where they are cockroach free and they are
technical difficulty free because they are making great beer. I
don't know, they probably have technical difficulties from time to time,

(01:13:41):
but it doesn't stop them from making great beer. And
want to thank them for bringing you this last segment. Alegan, Michigan,
Tantrick Brewing Company, tantribrewn dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:13:52):
Yes, all right, but I will tell you that's one
dead cockroach because I'm not allowed to let that cockroaches
roam around my studio.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
Jase's running around with a fly swater like you're trying
to kill a cockroach that's the size of the palm
of your hand with a fly slide.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
It worked. The trick has to kill a roach, you
have to be very very very still and you just
gotta let them and it's and that's one dead crockroach.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
But oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
All right, So I got a couple of stories to
get to before we get out of here, thanks to
our friends of a Tantk Brewing Company and Bill.

Speaker 5 (01:14:27):
Bill's gonna crack open a beer because he brought one.
He's like, hey, we didn't get to open this. Tant
Brewing Company helps host or facilitates the Ale Again Beer Festival.
And one of the breweries there, one well brewing company
out of Portage, Michigan, down there by Kalamazoo. And this
is the Bill. Tell them what we're drinking. We're drinking

(01:14:50):
the sweet water Street, a coffee doughnut, Porter, Bill's drinking
the Sweetwater Street and coffee don't Porter, Yep, Yeah, Okay,
moving on this one. I don't know that if there's

(01:15:11):
age on it, but it's got a very acidic note
to it. Very all right, we're not gonna dwell on
this because we're gonna dwell. I feel like I'm making
excuses for the brewery, and I shouldn't, because I mean,
they do make good beer. But speaking of making excuses, James,
We've come up with a lot of excuses over the

(01:15:32):
years for a lot of different things, and most of
them we feel they're legitimate. But what if I were
to tell you that coming up with excuses to miss
work is a thirty two hundred year old tradition we have.

Speaker 1 (01:15:50):
This is something we haven't been picked up in the
last forty years.

Speaker 5 (01:15:54):
No, and it's been captured on Egyptian tablets to show
reasons why you can miss work.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
So even in the ancient Egyptian times they called it work.

Speaker 5 (01:16:08):
They did they they phoned it in.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
They're building the pyramids, They're like, I don't want to
get on that hot sun all the night.

Speaker 5 (01:16:16):
Parents sending their kids back and it's like the dog
ate my homework. Well, what if I told you that
the ancient Egyptian tablets displayed in a British museum are
showing a record? And I found this very interesting. It's
like it's like a it's a time log and a
tenant sheet on stone tablets of construction workers who worked

(01:16:38):
on the Great Pyramids. And apparently they had to clock
in and clock out like everyone else.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
They've been grinding for the man for over thirty two
hundred years.

Speaker 5 (01:16:48):
And if you weren't there, they documented it, so reasons
for not attending work. I thought it was pretty interesting.
Like one of the reasons were given. I was busy
embalming a deceased relative.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
I was very common back then, like happens all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
Yeah, right, exactly, Like, well, I mean it was thirty
two hundred.

Speaker 1 (01:17:11):
Years ago Joe died him.

Speaker 5 (01:17:16):
I found that pretty interesting. Yet it wasn't just I'm sick.
It's like, well, my brother was really sick. In fact,
he's dead and I have to embalm him. Didn't you
embalm your brother last week?

Speaker 6 (01:17:28):
Too?

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
My brother, well you know the one that came in.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
They had like twenty five brothers and sisters.

Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
Back then, James is all worried about his dagum cockroach
flying in his face. Yeah, well, I'm sorry. I couldn't
come to work today because I was stung in the
eye by a scorpion.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
That's yeah, I could see that. I mean scorpions running rampant.

Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
Captured on a stone tablet. And my favorite excuse, I
was busy brewing beer, which was a legitimate reason of
work to miswork because bring beer and fortifive beverages were
associated with the god Hawthor, which was considered a good
reason to miss work. So maybe the next time you're

(01:18:11):
thinking about calling in sick to work, you can say, listen,
my ancient Egyptian heritage, because nobody's gonna fact check you
on this. Go to heavy go and you know, do
the test. You know, ancestry dot com. My ancient Egyptian
heritage told me that, you know, Hawthor loved beer, and
I was busy making beer and that is why I

(01:18:33):
missed work today.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Yeah, it wasn't because you got sick because you were
drinking beer out of this vessel. Segwe let's end the
show on this story. This is fun. Most people have
not drink beer out of a fish. But I'm seeing
more and more stories and videos on TikTok and social
media of people drinking beer. I have fish, no, yes,

(01:18:58):
But if you have drunk beer out of a fish,
the first question is why, And the second question is
wouldn't that I give you some weird fish disease You're
getting calling in sick because he got some dumb fish disease.

Speaker 5 (01:19:10):
That's not one of the reasons the Egyptians gave.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
But they weren't drinking beer out of fish. They were
smarter than that. So I don't think you should try
this at home, but I'm sure people will anyways. Just
be careful because animal octavist seem to hate people who
post stuff like this. But basically, a guy catches a
large snapper and then shoves a beer can in its
dead mouth and then chugs the beer while the fish

(01:19:33):
gazes into his soul, and it seems like an odd choice. Also,
I can imagine the smell and taste of the fish
adds anything but pleasant to the beer. And as a
fun note, because of the way it looks when he's chugging,
it seems like he is in the fish or French kissing.

(01:19:55):
I'm trying to post this video to our social media,
but social media is very strange. So you'll see this
video and then something will happen. You'll like click off
of it and you're like, oh, let me go back
to it, and you'll never find it ever again, right yep,
And that's what happened. So I saw this video and
I showed my wife and I was like, look at
this guy chugging it out. And then like I try
to something like I dropped my phone or I set

(01:20:16):
my phone down and it lost it and then I
can't find it. But I wrote the story up anyway,
so I'm gonna try to see if I can find it.
But maybe you don't want me to post this video.
But yeah, have you ever drink beer out of a
fish head?

Speaker 5 (01:20:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:20:30):
We talked about this country music star that is at
a concerts, right or a hockey tournament or whatever it was.

Speaker 5 (01:20:35):
I got this the India perch Lager. India perch Lager.
That's a new ipa India perch Lagger Percha New Michigan
fish maybe to that, but here we go. I'm I'm
I'm We're gonna end the show on this if you're
listening country music Olympics. You have to catch a fish
in the lake, bring it into the boat, stuff a

(01:20:57):
beer down, and then do the beer chug. And that's
that's an Olympic event.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
And that's how Peta hates you. All right, we got
to end the show before we get out of here.
