Oh dude, not put me in the same category as
the less Claypool. Maybe I'm the less Claypool of beer radio,
which would be pretty awesome. Of course, that's also pretty
arrogant and we haven't even opened a beer.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
For me to have that kind of area and open
a beer, I almost had a whole mess and studio
I dropped my glass. Luckily the glass was not hard
way and luckily the.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Start off a show.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Luckily the glass didn't have any beer in it, but
that would have been really bad for the first segment.
Welcome to the show. I don't want to start off
on a bad foot. Chat was jamming on his bass.
I know, well, man, I am, I'm ready for a beer.
My throat's a little raspy. I've been kind of yelling

Tap Radio. I'm Brigo Jamesipson, joined as always by mister
Brittle Logic himself, mister Chadpilbeam. Probably Bill on assignment this week,

(03:19):
or he's on vacation. I don't even know what he is,
but he's not with us this week, so we will
be like the old days, just Chad and I, which
is fine and uh, I'm ready for a beer. Speaking
of sponsors, thanks to our friends over the backyard grill
brought to the table where Chad and I are bringing
beers to the table, and that will set off the
momentum of the show. And don't worry, we'll have down there.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
That's a way to stay say it set off the momentum, right, Well,
you know you.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Always want to bring the fire, bring the bring the heat.
Not literally, Jacks, literally, I'm not bringing like ghost pepper
beer or anything. But you know, it's a it's a
time to drink, and it's time to have a beer
and celebrate all things that are well in the world.
And that's what what's on Tap radio is all about.
So who's kicking things off? Chad? Is it you?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're going first over here.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
But yeah, Chad used the plural. I did yeah assignment
this week when when he come back.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
We sifted now, no, no, no, We sifted through hundreds of applications.
We did a strenuous process of interviews and uh physical
tasks and we have a stunt beer liver in studio.
After all of that, you know, the interviews and background checks,
we got a social Security number. Xavier's in studio and

(04:33):
he's gonna be just sitting back and helping me make
sure that we knock out these cans of beer. And uh,
this particular one comes to us from my wife. No,
she did not brew this beer, but it does come
from Stonefaced Brewery in New Hampshire. She was she was
on assignment. I said, woman, go pick up No, I

(04:53):
didn't say that, I said honey, please. I said, honey,
please go picked up some beer from this brewery. And
the reason I wanted her to go pick up beer
from this brewery, the Stoneface in New Hampshire, is because
they had a beer that I wanted her to pick up.
Unsuccessful in picking it up, but we got this one here.
This is the Broove Dark Lagger, the check style dark

(05:16):
lager beer. But I looked up some of the tasting
notes on it. I cheated a little bit and they
indicated that they put some chocolate in it. So I'm
gonna take a taste here, cheater. Well, it's more rich
than what you would expect from a typical German dark
style lagger. It has some additional flavors in there, making

(05:40):
it a little bit sweeter. I am getting some chocolate
notes on it. But it has a little bit of
a actually, no, a lot a very dry finish, and
I'm I'm digging it's it's a richer beer than what
I would expect for Dark Lagger. It's more chocolatey than
what I would expect for Dark laggerly check Dark Lagger.

(06:01):
It doesn't have all of the roast I would expect
a little bit sweeter. And that's We're kicking the things
off with Stone Face Brewing Company, a five percent check
style Dark Lagger with what says that right here featured
Molt the Bohemian pillsner chocolate, wheat and car Yeah. Whatever, Well,
I'm gonna tell you very chocolatey. And that's what I'm
kicking the show off with.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
All right, wait to kick it off, Chad chricking out
of the Boston Lagger Glass.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I see no, no, no, no, no, no no, this
is an antique. This is you remember whenever Rodney Campbell
cast branding. Uh, there's our first name drop of the
show and.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Turned Rodney when I go on TV, he's my intern.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
He's oh yeah, I saw him taking a video of you. Anyway,
that particular beer right there, Glass is a beer Logic
conferences and events glass made for you by our friends
at Cass Branding, who they don't do glass wear anymore.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
No they don't, unfortunately not. But that's our plenty p.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah will Yeah, that's all right. We can live with that.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, there you go. So, uh, let me let me
tell you what I'm bringing. The table that I am
bringing in my same Lams Boston Longer glass, which I
almost broke as we you know, the intro was playing.
But I'm almost out of time in this segment. But
I'm not bringing an october Fest this week, Chad, I'm
not doing it.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, no bull lire, not happening. Lies, lies, lies.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I am not bringing october Fest because I am bringing
a marchtober Fest.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
See I knew it. See you're full of craft.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I knew it. October Fest. This is a March Soberfest
from Galada Company at four point five percent alcohol by volume,
which makes me think is more of a fest beer.
So let me go and import into my Boston Lagger
glass and uh nice copper, good color, good head retention.
And I'm gonna take a swig of this real quick
before we go to break.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah. Yeah, give a taste of that.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
That tastes like in a World Cup gold winner right there.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
This tasts like a month before April.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's what I'm saying about it. It tastes like a
World Beer Cup gold winner right there. All right, I'm
gonna take a break. All right, We're gonna take a break. Sorry. Yeah,
we got a lot on tap this week, including a
lot of State Fair news, a lot of beer's debuting
at the State Fair. We'll talk about that. Oh, this
is so much more coming right up, the official What's
on Tap Rid you fun fact of the week. Don't worry.
We got a lot on tap this week. You're not
gonna want to miss an ounce of it. We'll be

(08:18):
right back.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Here at What's on Tap Radio. We know two types
of people, those you drink with and those that make
you drink.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Oh, your parents are coming for the weekend.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Either way, we're drinking, all right. Everybody's got a beer.
You got a 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 byg The menu is amazing.

(08:53):
They've got all your Texas favorites like steaks, bahatas, chops,
and it's all grilled on a wood grill. Got burgers,
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.

(09:14):
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
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 of Weston Jones Road on the northwest
side of Houston.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Cheers, Yes, all right, get settled in here. What kind

(09:55):
of a segment two of What's on Top Radio? I
hope you're having a fantastic weekends whatever you're doing, Thanks
for hanging out with us. The first segment brought the
table thanks to our friends over at the Backyard Grill.
Jack kicking is awesome.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Love for those guys. Yeah, out there on the northwest
side of Houston. And yeah, if you're looking for a
beer out there in the oasis known as two ninety,
you're driving along, yeah, swinging, telling what's on tap?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Radio sent you, Yes, do that, but you kicked things
off in the first segment with it was stone Age Brewing,
Face Face, Stone Face Brewing.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
It's a doc log. It's called broove b r u V.
And I don't know, it's warmed up a little bit more.
I don't know why. Maybe it's just after you know,
quite a few SIPs, chocolate's died down a little bit.
I don't know if they put chocolate in there or not.
I told you I cheated. I looked at the tasting notes.

(10:51):
But overall, I mean it's a nice beer. It's it's
super dry finishes, really crazy sp and dry on. I
mean it makes you want another sip, Like you take
a sip, your tongue is dry. I want another. And
then that's a brewmaster's secret to keep you drinking beer.
But yeah, very chocolated. I'm not getting not getting a

(11:16):
lot of coffee notes or dry roast notes or yeah,
it's really just you know, you kind of look for
some of those burnt notes in there, like like like
a coffee or black coffee, and I'm not getting it.
It's chocolated to me. I don't know. I got the
X man in here, Xavier, and he's not on third Mic.

(11:39):
He's just stunt beer living, hanging out, hanging out, and
he's helping me because we're going to crack up in
another beer in the next segment. And uh, in order
for us to be able to talk about that, I
need to have a stunt beer liver, gotcha? So I don't.
I do not do all my own stunts. So well,
we do, all right, James.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
We do encourage drinking responsibly on the show. So Chad
is demonstrating that as we speak. So I told Chad
in the first segment that I did not bring an
october Fest to this show. This week, you lied, I
did not. I did not bring in october Fest because
I brought a Marchtoberfest. See it says right there on
the cam for Galason Island Brewing Company four point five
percent ABV Island Brewed Marchtoberfest. Does that say Octoberfest? Chad?

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Does it? Taste like it was brewed in April.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
It's in March Stoverfest, in March stoverfest Overfest.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Does it take? But I want to know because it
because it was probably brewed in March, which is Marsin,
which is in German, which is when the original was
it was brewed. Then you store it in the.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
World Cold Cup for the mars In category.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
I see it's on the can, all right, I got it, all.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Right, all right? So here's the here's the secret. If
I've talked about it a couple of times, but I'll
bring it up again. So Galason Island Brewing has a
great October Fest and they wanted to send it off
to World Beer Cup to be judged. But World Beer
Cup is in May, so they didn't want to send
old beer to the World Beer Cup judges. They wanted
to send fresh beer. So they brewed this beer in March.

(13:06):
And they know that customers don't drink Octoberfests outside of
its season. I don't know why. It's perfectly okay to
drink october Fest in November and December and January, but
customers think for some reason, it's not october Fest on it,
and it's not October, the beer's expired and they knew that,
so they just rebranded it, calling it March Soberfest. And

(13:28):
so they sent it off the World Beer Cup and
they won a gold for their marsin category in the
March for their March tber Fest.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes, this is genius marketing right there. I don't know
what else was thinking. I mean, you call you, yeah,
if you you know what here, I'm just gonna say this.
Whenever somebody makes a summer pills near beer, we all
know summer beers as soon as September first hits. Nobody
drink summer beers. Amen, right, yeah, so make us September
pills and it'll sell.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's funny how consumers just they're so put off by
the word October or Christmas or anything that's outside of
its season.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
You want to you want to dig into the archives.
We've been on the show or been on the air
for a long time. You want to dig into the
archives and remind everybody what, oh my goodness, what's the
gentleman's name from San Antonio said about Scott Metzger. Scott Metzger,
there is a name drop, right.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I interviewed him once and I asked him, why do
you think customers don't drink Octoberfest and November? What is
it about. It's expecting him to say, oh, well, let's
got the October on it. That's maybe. No, he said, well,
probably because they are convinced that once November first comes around,
all cans of Octoberfest turned into cans of AIDS. True.

(14:43):
Story's all right, we gotta do this chat.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Now, the official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of
the week, brought to you by Who's ever checked Clear?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
This week?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
And I tell that story now and people are They
just look at me like what?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, he really did say that. In fact, I feel
like we should have ran the disclaimer, like, you know,
the views expressed.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Well, no, I mean this is an interview. This is
what he told me. When I asked Hilm the question.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
It was the craziest thing. I know. I couldn't believe it.
He just said that. We're like, yeah, did he really
just say that? The words just come out?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I think I ran into the sound bite for
a while too. This is god years and years and
years ago.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yep, all right, well we all know that that's not true. No,
it's definitely not true. Feel free to drink your October
refestm whenever you want, you can share a toilet seat,
you can do whatever you want. You're not going to
contract that. That virus is just not going to happen.
All right, anyway, moving on beyond that. But by the way,
speaking of which, since that was a lie, I figured

(15:42):
let's talk politics because we had an election coming up,
and well.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Politicians, let's just make some people upset.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Well yeah, right, but what do all politicians have in common?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Lobbyist?

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Right exactly. They're all liars, right, yeah, that's right, they're liars.
They make campaign promises they can't keep. I mean, I
mean they said they were gonna.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I will find uh and I will cure cancer.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Ye right, well no, that was that was what it
was like, We're gonna we're gonna launch a war on
poverty and we're gonna end poverty. Well that didn't happen.
You know, read my lips. No new taxes on. We're
gonna forgive your college loans. If you like your doctor,
you can keep your doctor. We're gonna build a wall
in Mexico, is gonna pay Okay, never mind that none

(16:30):
of these things happen. They don't come true. So how
do we keep electing these people and putting them up
for vote. I don't understand it. We know they're full
of crap, and yet these are the best choices we have.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Choice and I have the only choices we have. And
it's sad.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I know, I know, so you official What's on Tap
Radio fun fact of the Week. I went into the
archives of elections to find out were they liars back
then winning elections? Is that how they want elections? And
it turns out that is not the case. No, they
actually used beer to win elections. And you're gonna say, yeah, right, okay, whatever,

(17:06):
so they drank some beer and whatever. No, I'm telling
you this was an actual strategy for winning elections. And
if you don't believe me, I'm gonna prove it with
the official What's on Tap Radio fun Factor of the week. Yeah,
what if you could win an election? Think about this,
not on your character, not on your principles or your competence,

(17:27):
but on your ability to get somebody drunk. How's that
for a campaign promise?

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay, I'm listening.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
I know you are right, I know. Yeah, campaign promises
forget them. We've got alcohol. I'll vote for that guy.
Turns out it was not an uncommon practice, and it
was called swilling the planters with bumbo. James, you're from
you like gumbo?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
I do love gumbo. My son, my son loves gumbo.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
I love you some gumbo. Well this is bumbo, which
was a rum based and they didn't just serve rum.
They had rum, they had cider, they had whiskey, they
had wine, and of course they had beer. And if
you wanted to buy votes back in colonial times, that's
what you did. Don't believe me. Ask twenty four year

(18:16):
old George Washington who ran for the first time for
the Virginia House Oh yeah, of Burgess and lost the election.
Why because he did not serve enough alcohol to his voters.
He was he lost an election to an a less
principled individual. And the next year or two years later,

(18:38):
he came back and he provided you're ready for this,
one hundred and forty four gallons of rum, punch, cider,
and beer and won his first election. And this was
a practice that continued on throughout colonial times and even
into the eighteen hundreds, where the candidate who had the
biggest bash got the most votes. So your fish, So

(19:00):
what's on Tap Radio Fun Fact of the week is
don't trust those campaign promises from those liars out there.
Just ask who's throwing the biggest party, because they've been
doing it since the colonial times, swilling the planters with bumbo,
how to win an election with booze? And that is
your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the week.

turns out. I like game on, Game on. All right,

You know, I have a stunt beer liver and we're out.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Of beer, so already that's what I know.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
And I feel really bad about this one because Harbard
light Bill, who's out on assignment or vacation or whatever
he's doing, you.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Drop a name for mill or dot do I guess.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
You know, just to be safe, you know, because you
know we do. We do have liability insurance in case
we get it wrong. But you know, I don't want
to ever want to make a claim because I don't
want our premiums to go up speaking of witch coming
up in the next segment or next hour. Rather, we
are going to have hold my beer and watch this
brought to you by ringing all the ten Acen insurance
group and and UH want to thank them. But so

(22:02):
this particular beer is it's one he brought and I'm
just I'm grabbing it. It's an Italian pilsner called noodle in. Now,
if you don't know what noodlan is, I don't know
that you could find two more different things. We've got
an Italian pilsner in Noodlan. And if your noodlan, you're
catfishing with your arm.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Okay, see I was gonna, okay, I was gonna guess
what it was, and that that's what I'm sorry. Okay,
So that's when you stick your arm down on the muck. Yeah.
What was the name of the host? Was it Mark?

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Mike Mike Rowe who used to do the dirty job
dirty jobs? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:38):
I read an interview with him. He said the most dangerous,
scariest job he ever did was noodling.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Yeah, because if you get a hold of one of
these huge catfish, they'll drag you down. Yeah, and if
you can't, so you're in the muck and you're trying
to pull up and the dang thing won't let go
of you. Yeah, You're you're in trouble. And I mean,
I don't know anything about it, but I can tell
you that this is a four point six percent logger
and it's from Fossil Cove Brewing Company. We'll see who

(23:06):
I can find out in Fantville, Arkansas and.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
More Arkansas beers.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's it's a bizarre label too. It's it makes a
catfish look like an alien, like a I mean, it
looks like a monster, and it's kind of frightening. But
the beer, they describe it as good cold beer. So
was it taste like cold?

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Sometimes it's all you have to say. Sometimes it's just
it's cold. It's all I got.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Also, also not a huge fan of this one. It's
it's pretty, it's crisp, it's light bodied, but getting I
don't know if it's the hop that they used in
it or what, but it's just not to my taste.
I don't think it's a bad beer, it's just not
to my taste.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
So we know what I'm joining over here. I got
the Marchtoberfest from galason Island Brewing and it notes it's haffee.
It's got almost like like a cookie taste to it,
very light, so I wanna assume it's a fest beer.
Doesn't actually stay it on the can, but I could
be wrong, But looking at it's a four point five
percent alcohol by volume. I will have to tell you,

(24:15):
guys disclaimer that the Marktoberfest is a tap room exclusive
that you can't get out at your.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Beer Stars of course.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah. I want to thank our good friend Leo over
the Texas Beer Experience and works for Galaxon Island Brewing
as well, met up with me and he donated some
of the beer for me. To talk about on the show,
and I did.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
That's good people.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
I did some TV with it as well. But I'm
just a big fan of the beer. It's so good
and it won a World Beer Cup gold for obvious
reason because it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
And speaking of amazing, I have a stunt beer liver
and I'm going to give him all of this. I
just don't like the hot profile on this. It may
end up we may be sharing it with the Yard,
And I'm not saying it's bad, just saying it's not
my flavor profile.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
The hop that's used in this, whatever it is, it
doesn't say, but it has a very herbaceous, herbal, rustic,
just kind of flavor to it, and I'm it's well made.
I just don't like the particular hop.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Well, you don't like every beer you drink, No, you don't,
you know you don't.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
But you know, what if what if you're a kid?
I mean kid? Does a kid? Does a child have
a discerning palette?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I guess when it comes to root beer it does.
Or you're hanging out at a college football game, do
you see this story, Chad?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Oh yeah, there's this coross Dude. I set you up so.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
This, this story is all over social. I saw this
video on TikTok, and of course it came across our desk.
But there's a video from the Longhorn game when they're
playing the Louisiana tex As Longhorns. Yes, and this is
where Chad's gonna tell me Louisiana Monroe Warhawks. And there's
this video going viral of a toddler seemingly chugging a

(25:59):
beer in the stands. So fans gathered last weekend to
witness Texas quarterback Arch Manning to make his first college
football start. Did quite well, and that is expected all
Longhorns from the get go, winning fifty one to three.
There's a blowout and the victory. This a little do
a little sports update for those you know checking out

(26:21):
the sports h Manny completed fifteen of twenty nine passes
for two hundred and fifty eight yards, two touchdowns and
two interceptions. However, the big spotlight of the whole game
was shifted off the field when a post went on
social of a toddler chugging what appeared to be a
michelob ultra. And there's no way to be certain what

(26:41):
the can was because it looks like there's a cooozy
on it, but looking at it, there is if you
looked at a Michelobultu, it's got like a red strip
that goes up and it's blue. And we're not certain,
but a bisoner recorded the video informed the mom, Hey,
excuse me that are ma'am. You're you're toddler. They're uh

(27:03):
sucking back on your on your beer. Apparently the mom
was preoccupied with something else, yeah, to notice what was happening.
But the little girl, she must have looked she was
maybe three to four years old, and she's just picking
this up, double fisting it. But it looks like it
has a cooozy on it, so it's hard to identify
what it is. It may some people are thinking it

(27:23):
was a pepsi can, but we don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Who is a pepsi can in a sports stadium.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
Ibody, nobody, but whoeverbody, whoever's todder this folks got all
those deals that taller was enjoying it because sip after
sip after sip after sip.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
It was interesting because the lady who's recording this and
putting on her TikTok was like, not the first sip, Hey, hey,
little kid. She was like, oh, this is nice. Let
me film this real quick and then I'll form the mother.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
She let the moms safety second.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah, she let the toddler drink about four or five
cists before she informed the mom. Hey, by the way,
your toddler's over here.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
And get a million likes with this video. Now make
your kids stop.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Some of comments on social obviously never disappoint one. One
person on social road. Finally a kid not using an
iPad another road.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I thought that was that addicted to the technology. Nice
one rote.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I thought it was a pepsi at first. That mom
is definitely distracted. So a few people are out there reaching.
But yeah, Todler appears to chuck beer at a college
football game and a viral post so.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Oh yeah, okay, well how about this all right?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
No word whether or I'm Tyler drove home?

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, well that's it was in Texas. Yeah, And they
don't let you drive underage, but you can drink underage
if your parents purchase it and provide it for you.
That's a that's a that's a that's a weird law
in Texas. Now the establishments can they they can put
up restrictions that prevent you from having to do that,

(28:59):
But no word on whether it's posted in the stadium that.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
How distracted are you that your toddler's And it's not
like the toddler just picked it up and took a
sip of it. No, the todler was like the video
is about thirty seconds long, and the tiller's just sucking
it back and then mom. And it's hard to tell
in a in a video who's the mom. There's a
couple of ladies sitting next to the child, so it's
hard to identify which ones the mom, but clearly both

(29:27):
of them are really really focused on the game and
not focused on the child.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's just I don't understand why, because I mean, the
game was a blowout, but maybe maybe it was this.
Maybe they figured out it's like, you know, the kids
got to eat, and with the price of formula these days,
they figure stadium beers are cheaper and the kid will
shut up, he'll take a nap. Maybe they wanted the
kid to take a nap well and just have and
just put it down and just go to sleep.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Well, want user wrote or One commentator wrote on TikTok,
well it's michaelol bulster's like water anyway. So no harm,
no foul. But the thing is, as a kid, you
remember getting a taste of a beer as a child,
You're just like, oh, that's the most disgusting thing ever.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
No, I my dad would have slapped me so hard.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
I remember I had an uncle. I had an uncle.
We're at a wedding, you know. The uncle's like, hey,
hey man, he little Jamie took us inp of this,
and I was like, eh, not this child, this kid
is definitely having a good time.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
No, and he set you on the path to do
this fine radio.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, he's looking at me like I get royalties, don't I?
All right? Speaking of kids, Speaking of kids, we gotta
take a break. But coming up, this is a controversial topic.
Kids at breweries. Do they belong at breweries. There's one
brewery out there that saying no more, no more kids
at our brewery. And we'll explain why. Coming up. This
is what's on tap radio. We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Think. Oh you want we prefer to drink outside the box.
You have good taste. Hey, what's on top? What's this
is what's on tap radio?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Right? Going? Good man, good beers at He's from me
marchtober Fest Gallatin. I'm brewing Taploom Exclusive. Go out to
the island, visit them. They have their October Fest coming
up sometime in October. I think like the twelfth. I
can't remember off the top of my head, but check
out their social for all details. But get this beer

(31:28):
if you're out there, you.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Know what I love about having a stunt beer liver
with me. I want to thank Xavier for, you know,
being honest and truthful on his background check because after
the urinary analysis and is you know, calling the three references,
he was allowed to show up and when he did,
we we made that all possible for him to come
in studio. But he's helped me out. I've got this

(31:52):
Fossil Cove Brewing Company. It's from Arkansas, uh Noodlean Italian pilsner,
and there's just something about it that does not agree
with my palette. And that's okay. You don't have to
love every beer you have. Prior to that, we had
the Stone Face Brewing Company Broove Dark Lagger and it
was very, very chocolatey, but it tended to mellow out

(32:14):
with the more SIPs I had, So maybe it was
just my palette not being ready for it. But that's okay.
You know we uh, you know, you're everybody's palette's a
little bit different. And uh, I'm experimenting with some beers.
And our good friend Bill harbor Light, Bill on assignment
or vacation with his wife, who knows, left this beer

(32:35):
here for us, and he thought he was going to
get to try it. Well he was wrong, so that
one happened.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Fridge.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Yeah, it either yeah, one of two things happens. Either
I drink it or it goes in the crisper drawer
and dies.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Never be heard of again. That's all right. We're talking
about kids. Last segment. We're talking about this viral video
that's making the rounds. You know obviously why it's why viral.
But yeah, this toddler, little girl wearing a little cute
Texas Longhorn uniform.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, the old hook them.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, just send back, sucking back on michelot Ultra. Yeah,
and I guess the mom.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Kids will be.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Kids, Yeah, kids will be kids exactly right.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
This is more like parents will be parents. And and
the thing is is the kid was not out of sight.
No child was with the parent. It's not like the
it's not like the child was, you know, taking over
to the student section with the parents and said here,
you watch the game over here, Send the three year
old over there, and we're gonna go back to our seats. No.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
No, the mom's sitting right there all right, preoccupied with
something else.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Well, just all right, maybe maybe I'm I can't believe
I'm gonna say this, but maybe beer is the problem
with parenting. I know I'm gonna go there, I am
because there was beer and the kid was right on
the on the parents' lap, not paying attention. Well, this
takes us to a whole new level. We have talked

(34:06):
about this almost too many times, but when you see
what is happening here in this story, you may take
a slightly different approach to me. Say, ah, you've talked
about this before, but kids at brewery's.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
It's a controversial topic.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
It is, and we've talked about it, and so what
else could you say? There's nothing else you can talk
about with this? There's nothing. So why are we even
talking about it? Well, because there's one brewery that's taking
it to another level and they are calling themselves out.
That's right, they're going kid unfriendly. Yeah, I love this.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Not the first or the last brewer. We'll talk about
doing this.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
No, no miners under the age of sixteen, No, get out,
all right, you're not welcome here. Why. It's not because
we're mean, it's not because we don't love kids. But
a brewery in Cleveland, the Forest City, has identified a
safety issue because parents aren't monitoring their children.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
See there, it is, there, it is. That's exactly what happens.
I've seen it happen. I've seen it happen. Kids are
they're running around. It's it gets out of control sometimes
and I'm like, I'm not I have two kids, and
I used to bring my kids to the brewery. My
kids weren't running ound like a crazy bit.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
No, no, you're you were signing autographs and parenting.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Oh yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
But it's if you think about it, though, everybody wants
to be family friendly, kid friendly, dog friendly, pet friendly,
whatever else it is, and this particular brewery says, Nope,
we're done. If you're under the age of sixteen, you
are not welcome here because of the safety issues and
parents not monitoring their children. And the owner even says

(35:55):
he's like, look, I'm frustrated, but you know, kids are
going to be kids, and that's it.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Kids are going to be kids. But when you didn't
when you're in a brewery and you know, people are
sitting there and maybe they bring their own lawn chairs
and so forth, and kids are throwing the football around
and it's hitting people and maybe the.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Yep yep, and they're knocking over beers and you know,
you just paid you know, seven bucks for a pint.
Somebody just knocks it over and that's a problem. And
but I found it interesting he said kids will be kids,
but the problem is parents aren't monitoring the kids.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
That's exactly what it is.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
And you know, he didn't say he didn't come out
and say parents will be parents, because if he had
said that, well, those that's your customer base. You don't
want to alienate that. Well, it was his customer base
until he went kid unfriendly. And I think the he
described it as and I got a great quote here
that this is essentially the straw that broke the back,

(36:51):
and he's like, that's it, we can't do this anymore.
But he came in to use the restroom and there
were five kids in there, throwing things around, breaking things.
He says we've got to do something, and in addition
to customers complaining, the staff started voicing concerns. But can
you imagine this. It's like I just drank a couple
of pints. I gotta go in. I got to break
the seal. I gotta go do the deal, you know,

(37:13):
whatever it is. And there's five kids in there, and
they're all running around throwing wet paper towels and hanging
on the door and clogging up the toilet and whatever.
Is like, wait a minute, this no, no, First of all,
there's no way all five of those kids had to
go to the toilet at the same time. One of
the time kids and wash your hands, all right. But
Forest City now they're uh, they're ready. They're like, we're

(37:36):
ready for all all customers. Come on out. And social media, Yeah,
there's a few people that are excited about it. On Facebook. Yep, yeah,
I love this. They wrote good finally road trip, Cleveland's
now on the to do list. I like how it's
like Cleveland was not on the to do list before,
but now I gotta go. Like, who's going to Cleveland Wywy?

(37:58):
Would we go there? They got a brewery with no kids,
let's go. Why would another one? Why would kids? People
bring their kids there anyway? That's there are just some
places you don't take them, and this is one of them.
Oh and by the way, teens don't belong there either.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Well. I have to say, one of the most patient
brewery I've ever seen when it comes to kids is
No Label Brewing Company. You think, because they they are
they friends, sunshine and and beerd that's what their motto was.
And they have a playground for kids. But man, and
they and they've gone through like no more chalk because

(38:40):
remember the kids.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
I was just gonna say, bring up the chalk story.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Kids were bringing chalk, They were bringing skateboards to the
brewery and they're like, guys, look, we want your kids
to have fun, but we can't do the chalk.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Dot to do the skateboards. No more football stage, nothing
that can fly, Nope. And then we have an entire
play ground area over there for you go.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
There was a video they did. I can't remember how
long ago it was, but it's like, it's no label
kid Frilly. What it said. The title said, it's no
label kid frilly and it pants to like five kids
beating on the garage door.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Just boot boo boo boo.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, because there's like this garage door right next to
the playground and the.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Kids and they were just unmonitored kids and they were
acting they had yeah, uh like security video. Kids just
run around like guys, you need to watch your kids.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Well what happened?

Speaker 3 (39:33):
You know?

Speaker 1 (39:33):
The parents are just hanging out with their friends and
the kids like, oh, we got run around, like sure,
just get out of here, I don't just don't bother me.
And then so they go off and they causing havoc
and it started. They started the playground and they're like, Okay,
we're kind of done with the playground, so let's go
let's go h on a venture, explore it exploring and
the next thing you know, you know, they're throwing dirt

(39:57):
or sticks. And so it comes that same old debate.
Kids don't belong to breweries. You're drinking, you're gonna get
in the cord drive kids home too. Well, we don't know,
maybe there's a designator driver. There's someone usually well sometimes
not partaking in the alcohol who will drive. But that's
the argument, you're gonna get in the cord drive quts home.

(40:18):
So do you believe that kids should be banned at breweries.
Let us know, we like to talk about it. At
What's on Are you willing?

Speaker 3 (40:25):
I want to know would you call your would you
be in favor of a brewery that labeled itself kid unfriendly?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Well, you're gonna lose some clientele, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
But you're gonna lose some, but you may gain more.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
May gain more. All right, that's our number one of
what's on tab Radio? Coming up next hour, we're gonna
talk about state Fair. We got a hold my beer

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Beer is not the answer, but it does make you
forget the question. So what was I saying?

Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Yeah, more, what's on tap Radio?

Shut up. This is our third beer.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Because the grass had the other one.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
I know, I believe or not. Stunt beer. Liver stepped up.
Apparently he wants to come back. He's like, no, we're
not throwing this in the yard. I will take one
for the team. That's why you brought me here, That's
why I was hired. He's like the third string quarterback.
He's got the backward baseball cap on and the clipboard
and he really does have a backward baseball cap on.
He's been sitting on the bench studying film, you know,

(42:33):
actually chatting with girls and whatever, doing his thing and
all of a sudden, he's like, you know, they might
call me into the game, and we called him into
the game. It's like, we got a beer we can't finish.
He's like, I got it, man, I got it. Drink up, Rudy,
you got one play. You gotta drink this Italian pilsner.
And he's doing his part. Meanwhile, I reached into the

(42:56):
crisper drawer because I put this.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
No, I did be a faithful chrisper drawer where beers
go to die.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Right, because you put it in there and you forget
about them, and then you're like, wait a minute, what's
in here? And you open the drawer and put them
the beer.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
I was six years old in that crisper drawer.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
No, this one's not that bad. From Lagannita's brewing company.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
That beer a Christmer drawer, Loganita is amazing.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Well, because I wanted to hold onto. I was hoping
I forgot about it, but I didn't. This is a
ten percent unrefined sugar, strong ale rude with whole cane
sugar and amazing.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I like Hulcanne sugar.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
I know this is this is good. I do like
the label on it, though it cracks me up. But
Unrefined Sugar Strong Ale from Laganita is a ten percent
strong ale and I'm gonna open it up here, pour
a little bit for myself, and I'm gonna pour a
little bit over here for our esteemed stunt beer liver.

(43:54):
And oh my goodness, the nose on this, it's a
moll bomb. It is just malty and just smells rich.
Let's take a test. Okay, it's very aggressively hopped to
balance out that and also boozy. Wow, you don't get

(44:15):
any floral notes or aromatics on the hops, but man,
that's a boozy beer. And that is delicious. So not
as rich as I expected. Finishes a little bit dry,
but absolutely delicious. The Unrefined Sugar from Lagunita's Brewing Company
Strong al brew with whole cane sugar.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
All right, and I'm almost done with my March Toberfest
from Gallas Island Brewing Company, the World Beer Cup Winner
Gold World Beer Cup winner in the Mars and category
from the twenty twenty four World Beer Cup. But I
am almost done with that, and I'll be cracking a
beer coming up next segment. But let's do this.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
Hold my beer and watch this brought to you by
the Ring Malda ten Hacen insurance group, where they'll cover
you for just about everything except this.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Okay, not a lot of detail, a lot of details
in the story, but there is some good, juicy stuff
in here, so let's get into it. A driver may
have gotten herself into trouble after calling law enforcement to
report not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
not six, but eight vehicles following her. You heard me right,

(45:20):
eight vehicles following her during a drive down Colorado's I
seventy and according to Summit County's Sheriff's office, their team
fielded a call from a neighboring county related to a
driver and a passenger who reportedly believed they were being
followed while traveling the Mountain Interstate and as the couple
crossed these into Summit County, local deputies were able to

(45:40):
make contact near Frisco, and a couple in the vehicles
said that it had claimed that eight vehicles have been
following them on the highway, also stopping at the same
gas stations as them. Right, all right, we'll lose them.
Let's pull into the gas station. Oh they're here too,
Keep going, keep going, well. While the couple also said
that the vehicles had followed them into Frisco deputies well,
they said they didn't see any vehicles at the scene.

(46:02):
The female driver allegedly admitted consuming both alcohol and cocaine,
to driving in cocaine prior to driving, and when she
agreed to a roadside test, Debt said that she failed
to complete a comparable from what a supper person would.

Speaker 3 (46:20):
No, huh, oh, you'll had the alcohol and the cocaine
and you don't be able to stand and walk a
straight line.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
And the cocaine. She was arrested and booked on multiple charges.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Uh uh.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Here's the lesson, folks, here's the lesson.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
Here, there's more than one.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
It's a very simple lesson. Don't drive under the influence.
Not only many drugs result in pyramid, but paranoia is
also a side effect. All right. Also, kids, don't do drugs.
It almost reminds me of almost famous don't do drugs.

(46:58):
So all suspects were in said until proven guilty in
the court of law according to the story, but your
hold my beer and watched this bring brought to you
by our friends over renalton Eg Insurance Group. Colorado driver
claims not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
not six, not seven, but eight vehicles were following them
on a mountain drive. Ends up getting arrested and the
cops report, yeah, we didn't see any vehicles, not a one,

(47:22):
not a one.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
When you said that eight vehicles were following and she
called herself Princess Diana, and I was like, oh.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
That's at Chad Pilby, by the way, hold of great.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
I'm gonna send the hate mail my way. Uh yeah,
that would hurt. I that's that's such an unusual call.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
You.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
I mean the cops, you know, they're gonna hear every
kind of call in the world. I mean, they're gonna
get all the strange ones. I've heard the ones where
you know, somebody got their big Mac wrong or you know,
their whopper wrong and they called nine one one because
they wouldn't give them their money back or something like that.
It was like, no, you don't you call the manager.
You don't call nine one one. This one here, somebody's
under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
And drugs and again, and like I said, there's not
a lot of details.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
I don't know the name of the person arrested. I
don't know what kind of alcohol they were.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Drinking, right, or how many grams of coke?

Speaker 1 (48:19):
How many grams of coke? I don't know any of that,
But I do know that they were claiming that eight
vehicles were following out and they even tried right.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
That's the party finds so strange. It's like they knew
exactly how many cars. Like if I look at my
rear view mirror and I see more than two cars,
it's it's three or more.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Yeah, you have no idea you can tell one, but yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Have time to count. How many cars are you hiving?
Like one, two, three, four, five, six, eight? You got
time to count eight. That's that's the probable cause right there.
All right, thank you bringing all the tenant and insurance group.
We're sponsoring that segment. And USA remember.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Don't do drugs. All right, Well, you're gonna take a
break coming out, Let's talk State Fair and uh, let's
talk about Aldie, who revealed its official beer taster. Who
is this? Oh this is so much more.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
Hang with us.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
When someone says, hold my beer, you know a trip
to the er is in your future, so hold your
own beer buddy, and just listen to more of What's
What's on Tap Radio.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Superior Pest Control of West Michigan, Superior Pest dot Biz.
They are sponsors of the research department here at What's
on Tap Radio. Make sure that we have all this
awesome content. Give them a call or reach out to
them at Superior Pest dot Biz. All right, welcome back

(49:57):
to What's on Tap Radio. If you are listening right
now in your car, take a quick peek, just if
it's safe to do so. Look in your rear view mirror,
and if you see eight cars following you right now,
do not call nine to one one. They are not

(50:18):
chasing you.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Chance that I'm just trying to get where they're kind
of get to.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
So right, my guess is if you see, if you
can actually see eight cars behind you, and you're listening
to this program and you you understand what's happening, there
are probably eight cars behind you. But in you're in,
you're fine. They're not chasing you. But if you're on
a lonely road and you look behind you and you
think you see eight cars, pull over, get out, call

(50:44):
an eight hundred number and get help because you're on something.
So that's that's nuts right there. Oddly specific, I saw
eight cars chasing me.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
What's scary is that she's, you know, drunk and high
on cocaine. Driving through the mountains. It's hard to do
that sober. I'm I'm gripping the wheel ten and two,
knuckling it.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Oh two anymore? I an if you heard that, Oh no, dude,
talk talk to your students at the high school and
ask them who've gone through drivers training. Ten and two
is wrong?

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Now, well, I still do that because I am knuckling
it very hard when I'm driving through the mountains. I
can't imagine trying to dry.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
That absolutely ridiculous fun fact that you're gonna learn. Nobody's
died in a school fire since the nineteen fifties, and
yet we still practice fire drills in schools, and they've
changed the procedures. They're now telling all the students to
stay put well until the teachers go and check the
hall to make sure it's safe to evacuate. I mean,

(51:42):
talk about people trying to justify their existence, but I
don't know, Yeah, I don't. We went off script there, James,
open a beer.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
All right, So I'm gonna take a break from the
bars ins and I got this beer the other Day's
making a return. Speaking of a laboring company we're talk
about very kid friendly and they're very patient with the kids.
But making a return, speaking of hiding in the bushes
and peeking at you, and I feel like I watched

(52:11):
I am bringing the Murky Myers. Murky Murky Myers. Yeah,
this is a very good beer. This is at eight
point four percent. This is a hazy double India pale ale.

Speaker 3 (52:20):
Right now, this is the first Wait a minute, this
is the first IPA of the show. Oh wow, yeah,
you hear that, Matt, We waited fire Marshall. Matt gets
a name drop right there because he hates IPAs, and
you know you do is drink ip as. Just ip
a heavy show. He sends me messages all the time too.
It's like, well have you on the IPAs this week?

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Well, I'm drinking a lot of mars In's. I mean
breaking up.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Oh that's that's his wheelhouse man. That guy loves those
brown ales ambers.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
It's got the haze to it.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Very murky, very murky looking, by the way. Play on
the Michael Myers from the Friday the thirteenth series. No
Nightmare on elm Street sees no Evil Dead series. No,
All right, that's at Chad Pilbeam.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
That's me. Quite the difference between the Mars and that
was just tricky.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Yeah, and quite the difference between the movie Halloween, which
that is based off of. In the movies I just.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Mentioned Miricky Myers, no label Brewing Company eight point four
percent alcohol by volume? Whoa eight point four? Sir?

Speaker 3 (53:21):
Jumping up with us?

Speaker 1 (53:24):
I brought to the table from the March soberfester Calvison
Island Brewing Company. But you know, getting towards the end
of the show, so.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Yeah, you can coast off in the sunset.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
With that one. Let's let the leg stretch out a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
That's right, all right. Well, you know we were talking
about the trust the experts and everything. Well, experts over
in the UK. I want to talk about this story
because you know, if you say trust the experts, we're
supposed to say, all right, trust, well, we'll trust you.
I mean me, I like to say, well, what are
your credentials? And experts over in the United Kingdom they

(53:55):
want to screw with I don't know, three four hundred
years of tradition, like wait, a minute. What Yeah, Yeah,
if we're gonna mess with like three hundred and thirty
years of tradition, let's go ahead and screw with beer.
Nobody will get upset at all. Nah, it'll be fine.
If you're not familiar with the United Kingdom, the traditional

(54:16):
poor for a pint is nineteen point two ounces, to
be exact, five hundred and sixty eight millileaters. Okay, uh,
that is a traditional pint. It's a little bit bigger
than our pint, imperial pint. Well researchers over in the
United Kingdom, in an effort to boost world health. Yes,
that's what they want to do to boost world health.

(54:37):
We want to improve situations here. We're gonna start by
going into the United Kingdom pubs and asking them to
cut down on the size of their traditional pores. That's
gonna say, save us finally, man, No, nope, we don't
have to worry about a meteor hitting the earth, global warming,

(54:57):
running out of fresh water. Nope, We're going to save
the planet one pint at a time, well, one smaller
pint at a time. Reducing the size of a traditional
pint could help reduce the overall alcohol consumption. You don't say,
if we made them smaller, people might drink less. Well,

(55:17):
let's see what the what the results were, because they
did the results and they said, what we want to
do is go to a two thirds pint serving. And
I'm like, wait a minute, two thirds. Now, we're not
a show about math. But if you take nineteen point
two and divide it by you know, three, and then
multiply by two, you'll get to the number and it's

(55:39):
less than nineteen point two. And that's what they're used
to drinking. And they used they drink beer that's lower ABV.
Traditionally they it's session beer over there, it's you know,
three four five percent, you know, considered high over there.
In most cases, in most pubs, people are drinking session
beers where they can drink plenty of them. Well, they

(56:01):
tested this out at a whopping embrace yourself folks, twelve
venues and these were twelve participating venues, which represents exactly
ready for this, one percent of the total number of
pubs that were asked to participate. So they asked, they asked,

(56:22):
all yeah, ninety nine percent of the people asked said no, thanks,
we are not doing this. And the alcohol volume of
beer dropped nine point six percent in sales during the
four week trial, but wine consumption increased, so they traded
one vice for another. And yeah, you're gonna start going ahead,

(56:45):
and you're gonna start screwing with people's habits. You're gonna
start screwing around with people's business. You're gonna tell people
to sell less beer. Hey, listen, I know you're struggling
right now, but we want you to sell less beer.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Well, they've been drink They've been drinking this way since
the sixteen hundreds.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
I know, I know. It's like, why would you go
and tell a business? Look, look, look, I know you
want to make money. I know you want to stay
in business. But look that guy over there is getting fat,
and you really and and and she's supposed to be
home watching her kids. In fact, that lady over there,
I just saw her at a University of Texas football
game against U EL Monroe and her kid was drinking
a Michelobaltra. You gotta cut her off. Man, you can't

(57:23):
do this. I don't know where this idea rolled out.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Here's what's gonna happen. They're gonna reduce the amount of
the pints and then people are just gonna order more.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
That's right, right, you do two thirds? Like, well I
only had two thirds, so I can have twice as many.
It's like, oh, that's not how that works. Then that's
what's gonna they're gonna do. They're gonna say you cut
it down by a third, and they're gonna drink twice
as many, and they're gonna drink more beer. I don't.
It makes no sense what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Because I remember I
had a cagurator, right, Remember I was like, I got
this cargurator. I'm gonna reduce amount of drinking because then
I can control. Right, So rather than pouring a full
pint of beer, I would just pour like an ounce,
and then I would do that, and then I'm like,
you know what, I want another ounce, and so I'll
pour another ounce, not filling it, just pouring an ounce,

(58:13):
and I'd go back about twelve times. You do the math,
and it's like, wait, I should just poured myself a
whole pint.

Speaker 3 (58:22):
And so I can.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Imagine, all right, well, all right, damn well, I'm out
of this beer, and I guess I'll just order another one.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
Because do you remember when we were in the iHeart
radio studios, and I'm going to bring this up. This
goes back in the day, and so if you don't this,
this is science, this is evidence. We'd have brewers come
into the studio and bring beers and they'd bring a
couple of people with them. We'd have five or six
people in there, and everybody would get two ounces of beer.
How long did that beer last? Not long, but a

(58:49):
couple of seconds, A couple of taste, a couple of tastes,
it was gone. It's like, well, let's open another couple
of taste couple. Let's open another a couple of taste couple.
And it just and then next thing you know, we're like,
it's time to take a walk down of the break room,
get some water, and we're gonna wait. We're gonna wait
an hour and a half before we leave. And then
there were times it's like you know what time to
call an uber.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Yeah, it's get some coffee.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
Nobody's going home, nobody's leaving.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
So the UK feels that they're gonna save their citizens
by reducing the amounts of a beer pints.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Now if they only had a dental program. Oh wait, oh, sorry,
is too far?

Speaker 1 (59:25):
All right, we got to take break still. We got
some more UK news. There's this man protesting beer tax
and I'm all for his protests. I'm all for a
way he's protesting. And we got to talk about State
Fair of Texas, new beer is revealing and all this
so much more. Hang with us, more morning discuss. We'll
be right back.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
What's on tap for the term social drinker is taking
on a whole new level. How about that first? What's
your pleasure? Gather around and pour around. What's on tap?
It's what's on tap radio?

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
All right, continue our look what's happening across the pond
and or what's on tap radio? Foreign stories? Look at
this new story that I got across my desk. There's
this man protesting, and I like what he's doing. Like
what he's doing, Chad, hold on second?

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Is he, let's see, is he throwing molotov cocktails? Is
he lighting tires on fire? Flipping cars? Is he smashing
out windows of the local Starbucks?

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
He's not chaining himself up to a park bench or
a tree or a tree. He's not wanting in the traffic.
He's not blocking, He's not blocking traffic, not doing any
of that, not doing anything.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Oh is he going up to local politicians while they're
out for dinner and screaming in their face?

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
Not even doing that? Wow? Not even doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Yes, wow.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
He's going on epic beer tax protest journey across the
UK and his plan. He's on a mission to chug
a pint of beer at each country's parliamentary constituencies to
highlight issues with tax on food and drinks in pubs.
So his name is j Chan. He's a former staffer
of the Member of the Parliament who is from Birmingham, England.

(01:01:23):
Chan has so far made it to pubs in sixteen
different continuencies. He said, he's leaving six hundred and thirty
four to go.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

Speaker 1 (01:01:35):
Backup, They have a lot of continuencies in the UK.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
Aldo second, he's gonna chug how many pints?

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
One pint? One pint?

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
No, but how many total?

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
There's over six hundred and thirty four. It was six
hundred thirty four and seventeen sixteen.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Six hundred and thirty four and sixteen is six hundred
and fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Yeah, six hundred fifty there I go, so six hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
And fifty different Oh my gosh, I want to think
about this for a second. So and how long is this?

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Does he say along, Oh, this is gonna take a while.
We're gonna discuss that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Yeah, I was gonna say this is gonna take a
little while because I'm thinking, I mean, does he have
a part time job or a full time job?

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Doesn't say He's already chugged pints in consumeracies in Birmingham
and plans on making his way to quote unquote most
of the Midlands in the near future. He says he
was inspired to begin these campaign for pubs after a
recent general election in the United Kingdom. He saw the
struggles pubs were facing during the time working for a

(01:02:37):
member of the Parliament. The reaction of patrons, Chan says
shows the importance of pubs in the communities. Like we mentioned,
you know, they play a very important part the pubs
do to the community. We watched Taylasso, oh, you know,
going around drinking the pubs. Additionally, with sixteen consiencies under
his belt, he said he will continue to go forward

(01:02:59):
with his campaign. The journey across the entire entirety of
the United Kingdom will take about twenty years, he said,
twenty years and is in the cost about four more
than four thousand pounds and drinks alone. And to help
defray the cost, Chan who's only eighteen years of age,

(01:03:23):
has started to GoFundMe, which has so far has raised
about two thousand pounds, which is about twenty six hundred
dollars in US money. But apparently in twenty twenty two,
the value added tax that that similar to the sales
tax the United States, rose from twelve point five percent
to a percent to twenty percent for tourism and hospitalitic. Yes,

(01:03:45):
so he's protesting this by going to all six hundred
and fifty parliamentary constituencies in the UK to bring the
pub's communities together.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
So here's my I got it ask. I mean, I'm
I'm all about the cause, you know, and and what
I say in politics, a lot is is a lot
of us agree on the cause and the outcome, but
we don't agree on the solution. So you know, for example,

(01:04:17):
I'm gonna use I'm gonna use a really rogue topic
that we shouldn't talk about. Like Republicans and Democrats both
agree guns should not be in the hands of people
who shouldn't own guns, But it's how do we get there?
And one group wants to ban all guns and the
other one wants to say we need more education and

(01:04:37):
start with where you agree. This guy right here says
I'm not in favor of the tax on beer, so
I'm going to protest it by going to every pub
I can and chugging a beer, right to which I'm
gonna say, if I'm in the Parliament, well, clearly you

(01:05:00):
can afford the tax because you're going around chugging beer.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
He can't, though, because he's getting to go fund me
to do this.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Do this.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Wait a minute, Okay, then I'm gonna ask this. If
the tax was lower, let's just say we got rid
of the tax, could he still afford to go chug
a beer in every pub? I like, I like the cause,
I do love the.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
Cause, But from going from twelve point five percent to
twenty percent, that's quite the jump.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
Oh no, it's stupid, it's dumb.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
And so rather than throwing you know, the motov cocktail
through the window, I get that, or blocking traffic or
throwing paint on the wall, whatever these protesters are doing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
Oh yeah, that's right, Yeah, no fur.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Yeah you know, Uh, this man is just going on
a beer tax journey across the UK, chugging a pint
in all six hundred and fifty promentarycies.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
You heard it here first. And I don't know do
we have the legal Do we have the legal disclaimer
that we can pull up. I don't know if we
have it, But if we have it, I don't know
if it's available because our lawyers they told us we
didn't have to play it for a while because you know,
we we upped our insurance liability and they said, yeah,
you're good for a while. But I'm gonna say this

(01:06:16):
right now.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
I mean, I can do it. If you feel that
it's necessary.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Hit it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
And now the legal mumbo jumbo, legal mumbo jumbo, that's
a good beer name. Opinions stated by What's on Tap
Radio and contributors to What's on Tap Radio are not
to be considered as endorsed by this awesome radio station.
You were urged to use your own discernment that's your
brain for you dummies, and draw your own conclusions.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Please drink responsibly. Cheers.

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
It still makes me laugh that we actually have a
llegal disclaimer because we have to have a legal disclaimer here.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
It is here. It is ladies and gentlemen, based on
this right here, right now, you can go into any
bar or pub or brewery you want, and they serve
you a beer. You feel free to chug it. And
if they did too to send you out, you say, no,
I'm exercising my First Amendment right to free speech and
I am protesting. What are you protesting? You don't have
a right to ask me that. You can go ahead

(01:07:11):
and say whatever you want, so, ladiess sovereign citizen, that's right.
You can now go ahead and you now have free
reign to chug anytime you want any establishment, and if
they try and impede on your right to do so,
you can say you're infringing on my first First Amendment right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
I don't really feel like this is much of a
protest more or less. It just is just his way of,
you know, bringing the pups together, the community together. He's
raising awareness if you will not, I.

Speaker 3 (01:07:40):
Guess I know, but I'm just saying I thought it
was funny. That's He's like, wait a minute, I'm gonna
chug beer. It's like, wait a minute. If somebody says, yeah,
you can't chug that in here. You can't no chugging beer.
But I'm protesting. Oh okay, go ahead, like all right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Hey, can I luck to this guy? His name's Jay
Channing's eighteen years old and he's going across the UK
visiting over six hundred and fifty pubs.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
Well, maybe you can run into our good friend Christine
Mitchell in Scotland. And I say, good friend. She's not
a good friend yet, but we should start on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
We should get on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
We should. She's thirty seven years old, she doesn't have
much going on. I mean, she's a National Health Services
biomedical scientist. She's a busy mom. I mean she's got
things on her plate.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
And so I'm saying, child's being sarcastic. Okay, she's very busy. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
because you're gonna get that one person to do it.
Says to me, Look, she's busy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Chad, I know, yeah, quick, quick, playing it down. Well,
she decided to throw her hat in the ring. The
thirty seven year old was just hired by Aldi, the
grocery chain as their official beer taster, where she's going
to be sharing her feedback on the latest bruise and

(01:08:55):
helping shape the supermarket's future product selection. Sounds like it
came right the press release it did. But release, yes,
it is well written. I mean it, it hit all
the talking points. Journalism majors take note. All right, Christine's
infectious enthusiasm for beer, coupled with her sharp scientific mind
made her stand out amongst hundreds of applicants. All Right,

(01:09:17):
you got it, she won the job. Here's the thing.
I mean, she was excited that she got this gig.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
She should be excited. It's a great gig.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Right, She's getting free beer right out of the deal.
So I looked into this and I can't find if
this is official. But I found the press press release
from a year ago or two years ago when the
first one was one announced and they received free beer
in exchange for their feedback. And then I scrolled down
and I looked and it said they're going to receive

(01:09:47):
four pal als, three IPA's two beers, four siders, one stout,
and one lagger which need to be tasted and reviewed.
I'm like, okay, four and three, seven to is nine fours, thirteen,
one and one is fifteen. You're getting fifteen drinks out
of this for winning in a national competition.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Okay, I'm sure she's getting paid.

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
Well, no, she's getting nothing. Oh no, there's no no,
there's no compensation for this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
Oh okay, well I wish she was gonna paid something.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
Yeah, but boy, she'll she'll have lots of free time
because she only has to sample a handful of beers.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:10:28):
Nothing in the press releases she's getting paid and all
the other previous press releases say all you get is
free beer.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
Okay, well there you go. Well, hey, congratulations to her,
and we had to go.

Speaker 3 (01:10:37):
Christine Mitchell, I.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Had no idea that. I had no idea there was
even a job opening for it. I would have applied
for it, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
Well, you know, apparently got to put a quarter in
the in the shopping cart to get the application.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
There you go, All right, we gotta take a break.
Coming up in the last segment, let's discuss what beers
are gonna be debuting at the State Fair this year.

we'll be back next week. The last segments of the
show always brought to you by our friends over at
Tantrick Brewing Company.

there kind of like whenever you're over at Tantrick Brewing Company,
you're like and they say last call, and you're like, whoa,

no encore after this. This is the last segment four
of the week, and thank you Tantrick Brewing Company for
bringing it to us. And uh, yeah, we've it's been
a fun show. I got I gotta say. And I
know I said that, like I was surprised, but you know,

(01:12:35):
Harbor Light Bill's out on assignment. We brought in a
new stunt beer Liver.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
I had a beer that I didn't particularly care for.
I got a beer out of the crisper drawer. James
threw us all for a loop by not drinking an
october Fest and then switching it up and going to
a hazy I p A.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
I had a March toober Fest.

Speaker 3 (01:13:00):
Mar It's it's a it's just been. I was like,
is this really all gonna come together?

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Okay, we always do, know what it does.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
All the ingredients are good and it just so happens
that when you put them together, pretty darn tasty. And
there we are, last segment of the week. And uh, James,
I I know you wanted to talk about this story.

Speaker 1 (01:13:21):
Yeah, let's take it home. We're talking about the State Fair,
Texas happening now.

Speaker 3 (01:13:25):
This cracks me up here.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
Yeah, out in Fort Worth, it's a if you ever been,
if you can make it out to the fort Worth
State Fair, it's it's so much fun. A lot of
food that will kill you, you know, unhealthy options. But hey,
that's what the state fair is all about. But stay fair.
Texas Staple is partneringhip with fort Worth with fort Worth's
Martin House Brewing to sell its own I said, Martin

(01:13:50):
House Brewing, said Martin House Brewing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:52):
Brace yourself, hold on your saddle, folks.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Mustard beer on the fair grounds, on the fair ground
this year. Yeah. When it comes to the condiment to
put on Fletcher's Corny Dog, I don't know if you
ever had a Fletcher's corny dog. Wow, it is so good,
so good, but always got to put mustard on it.
It's a staple. You get the Fletcher's Corny Dog and

(01:14:17):
you put the mustard on it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
But now they're telling, I love me a corn dog
and I love mustard on it. In fact, a good
friend of mine he sent me a picture and of
this mustard beer he was drinking that you're talking about, Yes,
and I and I said, I just said, what the
hell's wrong with you? And you know what he did?
He said it's actually really good.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
That's what they all say, and then you taste it
and it's like.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
Oh, no, he said it was good, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
So Fletcher's Corny Dogs announced on social that they're selling
their signature mustard beer at the State Fair of Texas
this year. Now, if you remember, we talked about this
last year. The beer was first brewed in collaboration with
fort Wortz Martin House and twenty twenty three for the
second Glassy Fest. We talked about that last year, but
this year they're actually bringing you back and selling it

(01:15:06):
on the fair grounds for the first time. So that's
exciting for it. And it's not the first time Martin
House has delved into some strange bruise, which we spoke
about many times in the past. The brewer has made
hot dog water flavored Seltzer beer, made sour pickle beer,
and Elphine beer brew with spaghetti maple syrup and M
and m's what was the squidding beer Chad that we had?

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Oh my gosh, that was so bad?

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
And what was that? I had the roast beef, the
French dip beer.

Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
You have the French dip one.

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
I had a friend called Friend's dip and it was
sixteen percent alcohol and it tasted just like that dip?
Was it oju? Is that what they call it?

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
A ju?

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
And then yeah, and then I had the one. Yeah,
I had the Buffalo Chicken Wing beer that tasted like
liquefied chicken wings. And you're supposed to serve it in
a pint glass rimmed with ranch dressing. Right, so wrong?

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
But yeah. The Fletcher family debut the famous Corny Dogs
at the State Fair at Texas back in nineteen forty two,
and it became a staple at the State Fair of
Texas each year, and in twenty twenty three, fun fact,
Fletcher sold more than five hundred and eighteen thousand corny Dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
The older I get, the more I relate to the
old man yelling at the cloud. I really do. I'm
just this, this is no get off my lot and
I don't get this one. I don't And I will
say you and I we did a beer tasting event
when we were at Brewmaster's Craft Beer Festival on Galveston Island,

(01:16:40):
and we went out and we were tasting beers and
we had a friend of ours get up and talk
about this and said, never pair like flavors together. So,
for example, this one that you just talked about mustard
beer with corn dogs in it, don't pair it with
a corn dog and mustard because it's all just gonna
blend together. It doesn't stand out. And I thought about this,

(01:17:03):
and we try this with Buffalo Bayou's pineapple pineapple pineapple,
and we tried it with a slice of pineapple, and
we were like, you're right, this doesn't taste good. We
tried a cinnamon beer with some cinnamon candies. They didn't
taste right. I was like, it doesn't make sense to
pare them like that because they overpower each other. But

(01:17:25):
it doesn't stop people from going to great links to
be able to pair these up. Because at the State
Fair of Texas there's yet another beer pairing from Lakewood
Brewing Company to pair up with the award winning I
really want to try this cotton candy bacon on a stick.

Speaker 1 (01:17:45):
Cotton candy bacon on a stick.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
I know what you're thinking, this is cotton candy that
tastes like bacon.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
So wait a minute, and you hang on cotton candy.
So they take the bacon and they put on a stick,
and then they put in that cotton candy thigh.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
You're talking right. See, it's not cotton candy that tastes
like bacon. It's bacon on a stick.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
And then cotton candy.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
Yeah, you got it. It won the Big Text Choice
Awards as the best New Food item at the Texas
State Fair. So Lakewood Burn Company says, eh, let's make
a beer to go with it. Russo's cotton candy Bacon
on a Stick features honey smoke bacon hooked with a
special seasoning and glazed with a secret cotton candy syrup.

(01:18:31):
And then it's wrapped in fluffy cotton candy because you
know you need more cotton.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
That sounds like so good. I'm like, I'm Homer Simpson
right now.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
Yeah, I know, I know exactly, I know. Meanwhile, meanwhile,
your insurance company is ready to cancel your policy because
you're a cardiac arrested.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):

you're in your forties, you're not in your twenties. You
can't eat anymore.

about you. I'm I'm all in on this bacon cotton
candy amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:19:29):
I bet you is amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:30):
But I don't want it with the beer. I want
them completely separate. So I would if I were at
the Texas State Fair, I would go get the ba Okay,
I'm more intrigued by the bacon cotton candy.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
They have to sell it together, right they don't. You
don't have to go across the fair grounds to get
the beer, and then.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
They probably do sell together. But I want the bacon first,
and then I'm gonna go eat some peanuts and some
popcorn and maybe get a corn. Okay, here's what you do.
You get your mustard corn dog beer, then you get
your bac cotton candy snack. Then you get your mustard
corn dog, and then you get your cotton candy bacon beer. Okay,

(01:20:10):
gotta cleanse your palate.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
And then get a physical after that because that's gonna
be cholesterol. Hell, the way, results may vary, results may
vary a real quick. Before we get out of here, we
