Okay, Well go ahead, all right? Uh in my Samuelam's
Boston Logger glass that I'm bringing this week, Uh from

No Label Brewing Company, they've been holding their October Fest celebrations,
and uh, this is one of my favorite fest beers,
and I'm going with the October Fest from No Label

(03:29):
Brewing Company. Look at you, look at me, it's six
Perfest is over. But not for you. No, not no, no, no,

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I don't know if I'm gonna do that chat, but
I'm gonna go in and pour this. If you see
it's it pours light, almost kind of like a hellis
but that is verily pale, very palely pale. I'm gonna
take a swig of this, all right, very good? Yeah again.
Fest Beer is a basically a marsin light. So Planner

(04:03):
made a fest beer to make a lighter body so
people can enjoy more pretzels and chicken during October Fest,
not getting all bloated drinking Marsins. So they made a
lighter version called a fest beer, and that's been official.
What's on tap Reo fun Factor of the Week, brought to
you by That's sorry.

Speaker 3 (04:17):

But that's how I'm kicking things off in my bosson
longer glass the you know Libel Brewing Company Fest Beer,

Speaker 1 (04:38):
We're going right to Christmas baby big box stores.

Speaker 3 (04:41):

But what does it say? Right there? Deliver to Harbor Light.
Oh all right at the Beer Logic World headquarters and

(05:03):

so just and I got a package here too. Wait, Bill,

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yes, right, we're just gonna open it. And that's what
it was. We didn't know if it was gonna be
beer or if it's gonna be a can of chili.
Who knows, but could have been anything we have. I
know it's coming from Texas, and you know, they like
to remind us down there that, you know, we up
here in Michigan have no idea how to make chili.
I opened up mine. Now, this is a huge tube.
So I'm guessing there's probably four or five beers in

(06:07):
each one of these, And throughout the episode we're gonna
start pulling these out. I don't know if we're gonna
open all of them, but oh look at this I

A little teacher, what we have on tap of it
looks like a JBF twenty twenty four. How do we do?

known place. I guess I should say all this is
so much more, including coming right up this shol what's

(08:19):
side of Houston.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
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. They've got all your Texas favorites
like steaks, bahitas, chops, and it's all grilled on a
wood fired grill. Got burgers, you got wraps. Hey, if
you're vegetarian, they got salads, they got soups, homemade dishes,

(08:42):
and specialties like smoky the beer chicken. Oh yeah, smoked
chicken injected with local beer. Sounds delicious, right yeah, And

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Cheers Santa Closer last night?

Speaker 1 (09:28):

Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's what I feel like. It is. Chadd and Bill
is opening up and like, oh look what you got?
What you got? And I'm sitting here like, oh beer
two guys.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Oh, there'll be plenty of presents to go around.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, I know, I haven't even finished unpacking. I don't
know if we have the exact same gifts here, but regardless, if.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
You missed the first segment brought the table thanks to
our friends over at the backyard Grill. I kick things
off with the no label fest beer, and then Chadden
Bill were like, Hey, we're gonna do something different, something
we'd never done before. So apparently they got some beer mail.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
These big giant tubes.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
And Bill Bill got a nice little package, and Chat
got a package, and they decided, you know what, let's
unpack this on the show.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Right out of the right out of the tube. We
decided to go with Texas oldest craft bury Saint Arnold
guten Tog, a Bavarian style lagger, toasty and clean and
it is absolutely delicious.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Av on that and James got a lump of coal.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I mean I got. I wouldn't be a rock. I
wouldn't say that this fest beer from the labels a
lump of coal, but I would. No, I'm just saying
I didn't get a package in the mail. That's okay.
So if you're listening out there, and uh, you know
one of our affiliates, and you want to send me
some beer, I'd be okay with that.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
I'll rub it in Chad's face until Bill a stick it.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
But let me let me reset the beer.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm only the lead singer.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
No label fest beer. This is at six percent, and
this is not quite a fast beer, not quite a hellss.
It pours beautiful light amber mm hmm, medium body with
a cool sweet a light sweet flavor with light hoppy bitterness,
perfect with brats and leeder Hosen.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I think you, I think you quite literally just described
the beer that we're drinking. It's a little bit sweet
with a touch of hot bitterness and goes great with
pretzels and chicken dinners. It's toasty and clean. It's really good.
Mine's almost gone.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, I have not. I have not had a Guten
Talk this year from Saint Arnold. Such a good beer.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I was kind of like the I like that better
than the Scotch toober I mean october Fest.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, I liked I like the Scotch Toberfest better than
the Guten Talk. But hey, to each their own right.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Everybody has a has a palate of their own.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Are you gonna be are we it's safe to say
you're going to be bringing more of the beers from
the tube later on the show, or is it? Maybe
you'll bring them on in the next few weeks.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
So there's an anniversary beer in there. I think we're
both excited about. But we may want to put a
little chill on that, just a little, but we'll find out,
well maybe later, maybe we'll end the show on that.
But I'm going to open up the rest of my package.
I don't know. I don't know what's in there. It
may be the exact same beers, which is fine, it
will complaints. But I want to thank Sam and Joelane,
who are regulars at the Backyard Grill and they hooked

(12:27):
us up.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
So thank you Sam and Joline, thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Real quick, they'll teacher of what we have on top.
I kind of butchered it earlier because I was so
just jealous, you know, film opening their presence, And now
I'm sitting here like.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
This looks fun.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
But yo, JBF twenty twenty fours. In the books, we'll
look at that. What kind of beer does Kamala Harris drink? Hmmm?
And there's this first I've heard of this ingredient and
a beer, and it's not even really the what the
ingredient and the beer is the big story. It's the
artwork that goes along with the beer that made the story.
Weird angle, weird angle, That's all I'm saying. And apparently

(13:04):
in Europe, do you know in Europe is a huge
problem of the late night pub crawls.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Apparently that's a.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Huge problem in Europe. So we'll talk about that, and again,
how much is an arm and leg worth? We found
that out? We found it out.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah, we we did the research, We did all the
slew thing and we know. The one that gets me though,
is the problem with late night pub crawling. Like we've
been sitting around here, like, what are we gonna do
about that? Do we have a solution? Stick around and
find out.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Does it need a solution?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Apparently it does in Europe. It fine, It's not even
one country in Europe that has this problem. There's multiple
countries in Europe that's having this problem of late night
pub crass. We'll talk about that. That's probably one of
my favorite stories of the week. But let's do this now.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
The official What's on TEP Radio fun fact of the
week brought to you by who's ever checked this week?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
All right, professor pill, beam in your gut and tog
take it away.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
That's that's gone. That's goot and gone, and we're gonna
have to refill here pretty quick. But I saw something
in the news. I didn't bring it to the production meeting,
didn't talk about it. I kept it to myself because
I thought there's more to this story and I want
to get to the bottom of it. I want to
know what's going on. But every year in Finland they

(14:26):
host the annual wife carrying competition. Before Yeah, yeah, we've
talked about plenty of times, right, we know about this
and so if you're if you're not familiar with it.
It is a contest where you get out there onto
an obstacle course and it has two parts that are
dry and you have to run across the dry part

(14:46):
and then there's also a muddy watery part that's a
meter deep. And the rules are that you have to
carry your wife. You have to carry any way you want.
We have to carry her through the obstacle course. She
must be at least seventeen years of age. Also, she
does not need to be a she so you just
putting that out there. The minimum weight of your wife

(15:09):
has to be one hundred and eight pounds, and she
or he, however it works, does not weigh one hundred
and eight pounds. You have to carry They strap a
sack to you to get the weight up to one
hundred and eight and the only other equipment that you
can wear is a helmet, because well, most of the
wives are carried on the man's back and upside down. Basically,

(15:32):
the women take their legs and flip them around their
husband's neck and they are carried on the man's back
upside down, so basically their head is down by his
butt and they run through the obstacle course. Now, this
is a tradition that has been going on for really
since the early nineteen nineties, but the legend goes back
to the late eighteen hundreds. Now, I know, when you

(15:55):
think about the late eighteen hundreds and you think about
the beer industry and what was going on around the world,
you think about the great German pilsners, and you think
about all of the beer barons of the US, and
you think about the the tradition of the English pubs
where you could actually do late night pub crawls, and
nobody gave a crap, but now apparently they do. But
the one name that I'm sure does not come to

(16:16):
mind is Herko Rosvo ron Kanaan. I know I did
not just sneeze on the microphone. Yeah, herko Rosvo ron Kanaan,
whose name is going to be synonymous with beer someday,
just not yet because I haven't put the fun fact together.
And then when once this all comes together, it will

(16:38):
all make sense. Well, earlier this month in Maine, they
had their version of the National or North American Wife
Carrying Championship, a two hundred and seventy eight yard race
where contestants ran through with their wife on their back.
And they went through and they competed. And the winner

(16:59):
of this this is good, this is amazing. I love this.
The winner of the contest wins five times their wife's
weight in cash. Yeah yeah, it's all the more you win, right,
But wait, there's more. You also win your wife's weight

(17:20):
in beer. And so what they do is to make
sure that it's fair. They have a teeth. They have
a t like like a little seesaw scale, and they
put your wife on one end and they start loading
it up with beer until it's level and then that's
how much beer you get to go home with. But
where did all of this start. It started with Herko

(17:42):
Rosse well ron Caanaan, who in the late eighteen hundreds
went through Finland robbing and pillaging villages and stealing men's wives.
Your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the
week is if you thought it was chauvinistic whenever Paps

(18:03):
Blue Ribbon made six packs because the research department determined
that that's the average weight that a housewife could carry
into the house, and that that wasn't chauvinistic enough for you.
Oh no, herkov Rosemo ron Kanaan in Finland in the
late eighteen hundreds, he and his gang would go village
to village robbing and stealing. And they didn't just take

(18:26):
food and animals and oh you know, possessions. Oh no,
they stole wives and they'd throw them over their over
their shoulders and carry them across and run away with
them on their back. And that is your official What's
on Tap Radio fun fact of the week.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I bet you they leave that part out of the brochure.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
They absolutely Hey, let's celebrate raping and pillaging no.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right. Another thing that stood out to me. Wives
had to be at least seventeen years of age. Where
did that rule come from? Were they younger? All right?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, a child labor Law fifteen sixteen?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yes, all right, we're gonna take a break. Coming up,
we're gonna talk about JBF twenty twenty four and how
much does an armlay cost? All this is so much more.
Hang with us, we'll bring back.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
The only thing we throw back on Thursday is a
pint of beer or two or three. This is What's
on Tap Radio. Get back to James and Chad.

Hold on the singer. Okay, hot Ha's got a big
smile on his face.

New it's a pun play on words.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
It's they wanted to chug a beer on top of
the RV alongside a woman wearing an Eagles jersey while
his cameraman filmed the whole thing. But disaster struck when
the cameraman tried to get a better angle of the pair,
stepping forward and falling through what might be the emergency
hatch on top of the vehicle before completely dropping his
camera off the side of the RV, coming crashing to

(24:27):
the pavement. No, it's not at all. Luckily, the cameraman
seemed to be okay. However, the camera looks like it
is done for it's expensive looking camera, by the way.
But yeah, it doesn't look like it was hurt too bad.
But apparently Jason, you know, he's really taken to retirement.

(24:48):
Although be careful if you're going to be hanging out
with him, because drinking, interacting with fans appears appearing on
broadcasts seems to be getting people injured. Because if you
don't remember about a month ago, he accidentally hurt a
Eagles superfan, kneeing them with a powerful chest bump. And so,
bottom line, Jason Kelsey's fun to party with, but you
might want to wear pads or a helmet when you're

(25:09):
hanging out with or.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
A cup or a cup yeah, shin guards.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
But the video of him, you know, he's just people
are like, whoo, you're a golden god. So he's you know,
he's proceeding the chug a beer and a camera. Man,
it's like, oh, let me get a better angle, and
he just kind of stepped forward and just takes a
slam and you can see people try to grab the camera,
but no, no luck. You know, these these cameras are heavy.

(25:36):
If anybody are.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Not, Yeah, this is not like your your little uh
he's not using an iPhone.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
No, these are like TV cameras or whatever. You know,
he's anybody can tell you a story about carrying those
cameras or two. Brian Holsen a good friend of ours
KPRC channel too. You know, he's been carrying around those
cameras for years. He can tell you those are not
not light objects. So hopefully that can Airman's okay, But yeah,

(26:02):
scary moment caught on tape.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
All right, well, speaking of catching things on tape and
beer drinking, well, it is the political season. We are
getting close to the election. Yeah, when we can all
go back to being friends again because we don't have
to worry about who the president's going to be. By
the way, I don't know if you remember this, but
there was a test that it was It was a

(26:26):
very anecdotal test where people were saying that the winner
of the beer test would determine the outcome of the election.
And it was in a poll which candidate would you
most like to have a beer with? And and whoever
won that very informal poll was the one who would
end up winning the election. And it's just and I

(26:49):
don't know for me, I mean, I think I would
rather have a beer with Kamala Harris. I have so
many questions well that I want answer that.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
And you know that you can't have a beer with Trump.
You can't because he doesn't drink to drink, exactly.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Know, And I don't.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I'm very vocal about it, really don't. He's very vocal
about the fact that he does not drink smoke, something
that his dad stilled in him as he was growing
up in something he toed children.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
But yeah, I know, and both both of them. I mean,
I should say neither one of them. If you ask
him a direct question, you're not gonna get a straight answer.
In fact, you'll be lucky if they even acknowledge the question.
They all are going to talk about whatever they want
to talk about. But I think I got a better
chance of getting an answer out of Kamala Harris than
I do get getting an answer out of Trump. But

(27:37):
at least she'll have a beer with me. And I
know what you're thinking, the same thing that we all are.
It's like, well, will she drink beer with us? And
if so, what kind of beer will she have? Well?
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris went on The Coldbert Show
Late Night with Colbert uh and there with Stephen, Colbert decided, well,
we're gonna go ahead and you have a toast to

(28:00):
the home state of Tim Waltz, her running mate, Wisconsin,
and raised one up for Milwaukee, saying, you know what,
I think I'm gonna crack open a champagne of beers
on the CBS Late Show. Now you may be thinking
it was this plan. Did she just show up with
a cooler or whatever. What happened was is Colbert said

(28:21):
that he wanted to be able to tell people what
it was like to drink a beer with a presidential candidate. Yeah.
I'd like that opportunity too, you know, so if either one.
In fact, I'm gonna say it right now. Don if
you want to talk to me right now, I'll have
a beer with you. In fact, I'll drink too, since
I know you don't drink any but apparently this sober
movement's going maybe you can have one of the na beers.
I don't know, but Vice President current Vice President Harris

(28:47):
says the High Life was her beer of choice, and
she's giving an endorsement there to Wisconsin, which was the
home of the Republican National Convention. Coincidentally, Wisconsin traditionally a
blue state and home home of her running mate, Governor
Tim Waltz. And we do have a clip, don't we?
Is it clip?

Speaker 7 (29:05):
For you first became the nominee and uh and named
Tim Walls as your your vice president nominee.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
People are calling it the vibe election.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
All the vibes were all good, but elections, I think
are one on vibes. Because one of the old saws
is they just want somebody they can have a beer with.
So would you like to have a beer with me?
So I can tell people what that's like.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Okay, this was.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Now we asked ahead of time, because I can't just
be given a drink to the vice president.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
I'd says, let ask me.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
You asked for Miller filf.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
I'm just curious.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
The last time I had beer was at a baseball
game with Dougs. Okay, cheers, there you go.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
Ooh, it's like the beautiful city of Milwaukee.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
So so that Wisconsin?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, okay, okay, so you get us Wisconsin night votes there.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Yeah, Trump's not gonna be able to do that. All right. Oh,
I'll have a beer for Wisconsin too.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Oh, there you go. Don't drink Kamala here. Who knew
Kamala Harris's beer of choice was Miller High Life of
all beers.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
I didn't know. Well, it turns out that Kamala Harris
really not much of a beer drinker. Did it more
for the show? Yeah? It was a prop and it
was staged. But we're gonna have more of that. That's
a tease for something else. I got all right, So,
uh yeah, that's what's going on on the Colbert Late Show.
And we've got more What's on Tap Radio coming up,

(30:35):
where we're gonna talk about what happened at the Great
American Beer Festival and how much is an arm and
a leg worth.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
We'll tell you after reading about the evils of drinking,
we made up our mind. We're gonna stop reading. What's
on Tap Radio continues with James Simpson and Chad Pilbeam.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Still a lot to get to talking talking to j
abf it's in the books. I really like the story.
Apparently in Europe it's a huge problem of these late
night pub crawls and it's multiple countries that having a
problem with it. Talk about that. And there's this story
in the news about this new ingredient. Well I've never

(31:30):
heard of this ingredient a beer. But that's not even
the angle of the story. The story is about the artwork,
which is fascinating to me, and a baby being brought
to the world at a well.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Known brewery, at one well known brewery.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
One well known brewery. Yeah, so a lot to get to. Oh,
you know, how much does an armala ay cost? Got
the answer? To that age old question.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I love it. I feel like we're in the black
market for you know, body parts here, like somebody's listening
very close.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
You know there is a there is a black market
where they sell body parts. Well yeah, on the dark web,
on the dark web.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
I know we're getting a message right now. It's like, hey,
this is a beer show. I don't need an arm
or a leg, but how much you how much is
gonna cost me to get an extra liver?

Speaker 1 (32:20):
You know, I don't have the answer to that, but
I do have a foreign arm and a leg.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
All right, all right, all right, Well I want to
play a game with you guys.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh boy, I like games.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is also James tossed this to
me from the production meeting. He says, hey, this is
up in your neck of the woods. Pick up this
story and run with it. And then I was given
no other direction from our producers. And so I'm ask
for forgiveness. Since we just came out of the last segment.
We were talking about Kamala Harris and her choice to

(32:51):
drink Miller High Life, and I wanted to ask you, guys,
how would you describe Miller High Life? Listen carefully because
one of these is the disc dription for Miller High Life.
Here we go. Are you ready? This is straight off
the website. It is one of the best tasting laggers
you can get, one of a kind, crisp lagger, refreshing

(33:12):
beer for all kinds of weather, tasty enough to please
any beer drinker. Or is it a meticulously brewed, rich
golden hue that ensures a well balanced taste. Or is
it a crisp, easy drinking lagger with a balance of sweetness,
bitterness and effervescence. Or is it brewed with a smooth

(33:37):
taste for easy drinkability. Or is it a beer that
tastes like beer where every sip brings you a refreshing
taste of a premium light lagger? Or god, is it
a light lagger that took us years to develop and
we sweated every detail to make it the best light

(33:59):
beer possible. By the way, does this sound like the
exact same beer for every light beer out there?

Speaker 1 (34:08):
It just sounds like, Yeah, it sounds like every generic lighter,
premium light brand.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Brand right premium, It says premium. Okay, Well, if you
were wondering, Miller High Life is an American style lagger
with a crisp, easy drinking flavor. So what are all
of these other beers? Well, the real American Hero light
Lagger with the whole cogan was meticulously brewed with a
rich golden hue to ensure a well balanced taste that

(34:39):
could just as easily be Miller High Life. Okay, and
how about this one here, this one, this one gets
me all right. Sometimes when you are tailgating or drinking beer,
you just want a beer that tastes like beer. And
that's what this beer does. Every sip brings you a
refreshing taste of a premium white lagger. Well, that would
be sky Dance Brewery. Berry Switzer's lagger, the Oklahoma football

(35:01):
coaching legend, and a beer was made after him. How
about this one? Years to develop this light lagger, we
sweated every detail to make it the best light beer possible.
That would be Troy Aikman's eight Light, the Elite eight
Light Lagger, which all sounds like the same beer to me. Oh.

(35:21):
Steve Spurrier with First Magnitude Brewery. Yeah, his beer is
a one of a kind, crisp lagger for all weather,
tasty enough to please any beer drinker, and I'm thinking
of there is no originality in this there surely we
are done, but we are not because we needed another one.
And Gene Katie, the former coach of Perdue basketball, his

(35:46):
new play Hard Lagger, the former Purdue head coach. On
the release of his new play Hard Lagger, was quota saying,
ready for this very profound quote, brace yourself. That's good beer.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Hey spoiler. Aldert were asking these same questions about bud
Light next week.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
He also did follow that up by saying, thank god
I don't have to drive, I'd be arrested, which I
thought was.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
That's my favorite quote, thank god I'll get arrested.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Oh that's good. Well we're going to talk about that
quote here in just a second. But during the release,
some of the closest friends and people close to the coach,
they talked about how this beer actually almost wasn't a
beer because it was originally going to be a bourbon,
and I'm like, huh, wait a minute, what would possibly
get them to change their mind. Turns out that they said,
we can sell more beer than we can bourbon, and

(36:37):
more fans can do it, So clearly it's not a
passion project for to brew a beer. It's how can
we make more money? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, and developing the
beer Keatie went and sampled ten different beers, where the
unanimous choice was a beer that represented the coach's legendary reputation,
hard work, excellence, and perfection of all things great that

(37:00):
a coach stands for and instilled in so many young
men through the years. I think, once you taste this beer,
you're gonna find out that people are gonna buy it,
not only because of the great coach and the marketing
on the can, because but also because of the great taste. Yes,
this is a light logger. Was a unanimous decision. It
was the winner of the ten beers they were going

(37:21):
to choose or that they sampled. And Jean Katie later
goes on to say, you know, not really much of
a beer drinker. In fact, they haven't really drank beer
my whole life because I was an athlete and I
was a role model and I didn't want my athletes drinking,
so I didn't drink either. Makes you wonder how many
of these light loggers is gonna take for him to
get drunk? Thank God, I'm not driving.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, how many SIPs?

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Because this is my first beer in forty years.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
I mean SIPs is gonna take to get him drunk?

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yes, but just for the record, definitely not a marketing ploy. Okay,
there you go. So Geen Katie working with sun King
Brewery in Indiana to release their new smooth tasting, easy,
easy drinkable, play hard Lagger, which is definitely not a
marketing grab to sell beer, just like the Hulkgan beer

(38:08):
isn't just like, oh yeah, I didn't tell you what
the other ones were. Yeah, the Real American Hero also
in there, the Switzer light Lager, the Troy Aikman, and
the Steve Spurrier Magnitude Beer was on there on that
list as well. I think I missed one more, but
there's you get the idea. Oh yeah, alter Wright was
in there too. And by the way, I think it

(38:29):
was four out of those six cans all said premium
on the can.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
As they should the can it's not good America.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
That's how you know you're getting the good stuff. It
says premium on the can tastes like freedom.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Hey, speaking of marketing, here's here's I'll take another product
you won't be able to get and you won't be
able to get it. Why because it don't exist. So
Americans might not be drinking as much beer as they
used to these days, but opening a more inventive way
deal as a surplus, well, Wrangler's got them covered. So
Wrangler Jeans has teamed up with the Cores Banquet to

(39:06):
create a new category of pants, beer washed jeans. And
I bet that someone who wants to get a pair
of these will likely it will still be enjoying a
cold one from time to time. The denim comes from
with a tag that features a bottle opener and also
comes with a variety of patches for people who want
to customize their pants. And as you expect, the genes
are limited edition and the companies are running a contest

(39:28):
to let fans win a pair. And if you need
a wardrobe edition had to put dot com and enter
to sweepstakes through the end of October. And to answer
the obvious question, yep, Wrangler says these genes were indeed
washed with cores. Well repurpose brewing resources for a barrel
for the beer, knowing that everyone has spilled a little

(39:50):
beer on their genes before leaving the two trusted friends
to take it to a new level. So again a
product that you won't be able to get your hands on.
Forget acid washed jeans. Wrangler partners up with Cores Banquet
for beer washed jeans.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Oh boy, finally, finally, that's what we were all waiting for.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
And I've yet to meet I've yet to meet anyone
who's gotten their hands on any of these products we've
talked about over the past eleven years.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
I know they don't. It is usually Miller Lite, but
you know what, Miller Cores, same company.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, they can get it on the ball game. So yeah,
if you want to get yourself in a chance to
win a limited chance chance, just go to dot com.
They're non sponsored, so I'm not gonna put a website.
So yeah, forget acid washed jeans. Wrangler got some beer
washed jeans, or you can just fill up your washing
machine with beer and get your own jeans. All right.
That's how I remember one of the books coming up

(40:45):
next hour, GABF twenty twenty four and hold up beer
and watch this and how much does arm lay cost?
All this will discuss coming up next hour. Will be
right back.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
And the teacher said, no, Bobby, there's no such time
as beer oclock fire. That teacher. This is what's on
Tap Radio.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Hold my beer and watch this brought to you by
your friends at We're all the ten taking Insurance Group
RTI Grand Rapids dot Com.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
All right, welcome, now we're remember too What's on Tap Radio?
Got a lot of good stuff on tap this week, including, uh,
looking at GABF twenty twenty four. That's a great American
burg festival. And how much does armaanld leg go? Running
four these days?

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Black under hit for body parts? Here? Who tap Rady?

Speaker 1 (41:45):

such a big deal in Europe? And uh all this

show a number of ways to do so. You can
slide into our dms like our listener did and called
out but that's all right. You can go to Facebook, x, TikTok, Instagram,

message that came in?

Speaker 8 (42:19):
Chad?

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (42:19):
I think it's good.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
I wasn't gonna bring it, but I guess I did
throw the ball right down the middle for you to
hit it.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Yeah, we did, We did. I'm gonna swing at this one.
Do we want to mention the guy's name?

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Let's not, because he didn't say we could.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
All right, all right, all right, well here can I
give his initials so that he knows, well, he'll know,
he'll come on now, Yeah, this is his.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
And we get a lot of these. We get a
lot of these, but every now and then one just
really stands out.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, and he just fires this ob He's like, I
just heard that that this guy says, once he runs
out of october Fest beer, okay, he'll tap into Christmas beers.
He's waiting to run out of this. Once you run
out of Octoberfest beers, then you'll tap into Christmas fears.
What This is the same guy who won't open an

(43:03):
Octoberfest beer until after Labor Day. Make it make sense.
I'm like James has his rituals, Okay, he has his
quirky way of doing things. Sometimes he's like, no, no,
I'm not doing it, man, I'm just not No, I'm
not budgeting on this. But I mean he may have

(43:23):
october Fest beers that go all the way to New
Year's Eve, and he may not open a Christmas beer
this year. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean it won't it won't be Christmas Eve. But
I do have a lot of Octoberfest in there to
carry me out for the next month. That's my favorite
time of year. I love Octoberfest. I love Marsins, So
I go out and get all the Martians I can, because,
you know, believe it or not, pretty soon I'm not
going to able to find any Marsins on the shelves because
here it comes Christmas beers. Here it comes Christmas beers

(43:51):
right down Christmas Beer Lane.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
A pumpkin beer for Thanksgiving, Yeah, I can't forget those.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
Hey, we have the pumpkin beers are dropping. Love for
that pumpkin beer are dropping. I saw Saint Arnold drop
their pumpkin eador the other day. I have to get
my hands on that. I do like that one Imperial
pumpin Stey.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
Yeah that's yeah. I mean it only wins gold medals
at the GABF, which we will be.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Talking about Old Beer Cup and World Beer Cup.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
I can't forget about that. But you know what's interesting
though about all of the beers from Octoberfest. All the
way to Christmas, the mom for the majority of them,
and Bill and I were talking about this, and Bill
I said, I got a real big pet, peeve if
I hear one more. And I just went on this
rant during the break and I was like, if I
hear one more new release of this new beer and

(44:32):
they put some famous guy's picture on it or some
famous lady on it, And who's never drink drink beer? Oh,
Kamal o' harris drinks Miller High Life. Well she doesn't
really drink beer. Gene Katie, he's got a new beer,
play hard lagger, doesn't really drink beer. Whole Cogan's promoting
a new beer, doesn't drink beer. Hey, alter Wright's got
a Donald Trump beer. But Donald Trump doesn't drink beer.
And every one of them, every damn one of them,

(44:54):
has a smooth taste and they're easy drinkability. That is
my new pet.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
People don't really see Troy eight men out there. Troy,
he's not pounding with Jason Kelsey.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Yeah, you see. You see Troy Aikman's cameraman on top
of an RV with him up there pounding. Now you
don't think so. And they're both retired and I don't
see that happening, so I and so Bill's like, so,
so I can go ahead and say multi backbone and
you're not gonna get pissed because they know how much
I hate here in freaking multi Shut up. Bill. Yes

(45:25):
you can say. You can now say multi backbone, and
I won't get pissed, just as long as you don't
say it's got a smooth taste with easy drinkability, because
that is the new pet peeve. Uh, what grinds my gears? James,
what grinds my gears? You know what else grinds my gears?
Drunk criminals?

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Hold my beer and watch this brought to you by
the ring melds of ten Hacen Insurance Grow where they'll
cover you for just about everything except this.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Speaking of sliding to our DMS, I got a listener,
Send me the story and I I'll bite. This is
a story disgusts me. He gross. So you can get
in a little you can get big trouble if you
show up to a high school dance drunk, especially if
you're the principal whoa police in Oklahoma arrested Mickey Replugga.

(46:15):
I guess that's how you say his name, don't care.
He's the principal at Bixby High School, and he allegedly
showed up to the fall dance smelling of alcohol. Here's
the discussing part. On top of that, he reportedly got
handsy with students on the dance floor.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
No, yeah, you mean former principle.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, exactly right. The only people are gonna need to
know how to pronounce his name are his next wife
and his next employer.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Or his court issued attorney who's going to show up
to court with a suit two times too big.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
That's right, because why bother paying for a good lawyer.
You're guilty.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
But police had enough evidence to charge him with public intoxication,
but they're mistigating more of his behavior and asking students
to come forward if they have any video footage of
the dance or from the dance. Of course they do
all these kids these days. Always everybody's got yeah, they're
filling yep. Bill was right. The principle has already been
fired by district officials, and they say they're working to

(47:17):
support the investigation and committed to regaining the trust of
students in the community. And so here is cut twelve
of the Tulsa police captain talking about the arrest and
the accusations.

Speaker 8 (47:33):
Someone who is interrusted with children every day. So that's
a component of this, and we understand how parents feel
about that. Our Special Victims Unit is leading the investigation.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Did they just say Special Victims.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Unit sbu Wow, that's bad. That's bad, don and talking
to these kids.

Speaker 8 (47:54):
What we're asking for is more evidence. We're sure that
kids there might have taken some video or it's everything
else and if they had that to please submit it
to us.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
So, if you're just tuning in, a principle was arrested
after showing up to a high school dance intoxicated, and
that's been brought that's home. I've been watching this brought
to you by a Renaltone, a insurance group with shure.
You from many things, but yeah, not showing up to
a high school dance and you're the principal drunk and
then getting handsy with these students.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
That's ouch. That is that is so painful on every
level of emotion and creepiness.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
I know exactly how this played out. Before the dance,
he probably went to dinner and probably had a margarita
or a glass of wine or maybe a beer too,
thinking oh, yeah, I'm eating, I should be fine, and
then shows up a little too intoxicated and yeah, getting handsy.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
So icetaurant was busy, they couldn't get food out. He
ended up having three drinks instead of one, and then
the food showed up and it was too late.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Maybe yeah, maybe there's a weight. And so he's like,
you know, I'll just grab a beer from the bar
or a margaret from the bar. Why we wait? And
then he sat at the table ordered one. Oh speculation,
But hey, that's what I think happened. All right, that's
been your hole my beer, and watched it is coming up.
Let's discuss how the Great American Beer Festival went in?
How much does an armor la cost?

Speaker 7 (49:13):
All?

Speaker 1 (49:13):
This is so much more. Hang with us, We'll be
right back.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Beer has hops, hops or plants. Plants make salad, So
beer is salad?

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:24):
What's on tap? Radio?

Speaker 3 (49:25):
James and Chad talking about beer. We want to thank
Superior Pest Control West Michigan for flooding our inbox with
stories each and every week. Proud sponsors of our research department,
Superior Pest Control. You can find them here in West
Michigan at Superior pest dot biz. That's superior pest dot biz.

(49:54):
All right, back, what's on tap radio? Where we be jamming,
we be dancing, we be feeling the flow of the music.
But yeah, if we've had a couple of beers here,
not gonna I have. I have zero desire to go
anywhere near a school building right now.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Ever, you know, I'm right, guy, the principal did a
little pregaming at a restaurant. No, I'm nailing it. I'm
telling you. He probably goes through weight maybe thirty minute. Wait,
so he's like, you know what, why we wait, We'll
go grab a drink from the bar.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
There was an Applebee's or.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Maybe he's drinking a long iced tea from apple Bee's.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Good in the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
And then they get to the table and they're finishing
their drinking, they're like, you know what, I'll get another
one because I'm eating. Yeah, And then you know.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
I don't don't. I don't know about you. So I
go to I go to watch football games and uh
soccer matches, and I'm a referee and I do all
that stuff. And I'm gonna tell you right now, never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,
ever ever drink.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Before going absolutely not after.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
And I'm going home. I'm not going back, that's fine,
And I mean, I am not going anywhere near a
school with alcohol and me and I'm not a principal.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
No, And real quick, I know, we got some stories
to get to. But about two weeks ago, my wife
and I were both teachers, and Katie iced and we
went to a football game to watch our students play
and it started to rain, and so my wife had
asked me if I can run out to the car
to grab an umbrella, and so as I'm trying to exit,

(51:32):
they're like, no, you can't come back in. And I
was like, well, I'm an employee. I had at my
school badge. And they're like, well, the reason why we
don't let people come back in is because they go
out and drink in their cars, students and adults.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
And I tell them I was like, well, look, if
I were to do that and get caught, I would
be fired because I'm an employee of the ISD. So
I am not going to be doing that. And plus
I'm parked right there, so you can watch me run
in my car and grab the umbrella. And they're like
all right, fine. So you know, I ran to the
car grabbed the umbrella. But apparently it's so much of
a problem where people are going out and you know,
drinking in their cars, and they get that.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
But at some point common sense prevails.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
I mean, I mean, but I would never pregame, especially
if I'm gonna be talking to students or my bosses. No, no, no, no.
I take my job very serious.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
And I'm getting a call right now and somebody wants
me to swing by the local high school. Hey, Bill,
open that beer quick, so I don't have to go.
All right, there we go, see can't go? See Bill,
just open up another beer.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
I'm in for the nights. I'm in for the nights.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Yeah Bill, what are we drinking here?

Speaker 4 (52:37):
From River Saint Joe. We have a farmstead brewery. It's subs.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
He can't even do this because he's spilled. He's he's
spinning the can around after opening it and he just
spilled it all down his arm.

Speaker 4 (52:54):
Yeah, but it wasn't not any of the equipment.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
You kept it up that the engineers will be happy.
The cleaning crew is pissed, But okay, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
River Saint Joe f p A farmhouse pale Ale out
of Buchanan, Michigan.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
Oh okay, yeah, you haven't been there. I maybe I
don't remember, but I can tell you right now I'm
not hating this beer.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
Yeah, farmhouse uh uh, River Saint Joe. Great place, very
nice venue, very good beer.

Speaker 3 (53:21):
It reminds me almost of It's a drier, happier version
of Boulevard Tank seven And I wish I could remember
the guys that I talk to when I visited. But
thank you very much. River Saint. Yeah, it's a little
it's a little funky, a little little brett ut, little
little little that farmhouse funk. Yeah, nice, nice, Yeah, I'll
drink that all right. That's what we're kicking things off. Uh,

(53:44):
well we're opening another.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
I'll be cracking a beer coming up next segments.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
All right, we're gonna talk j abf and I'm the
crack of beer in net segments.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
But sounds good.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
So as a as a journalism teacher, I teach, you know,
every story has to have an angle. And when Chad
and I are pitching stories, and Chad will pitch a
story to me, I'll be like, all right, what's the angle,
and vice versa, I'll pitch a story, Chad and child
will be like, what's the angle? So we get this
story thanks to our friends over at Superior Pest Control.
And I look at him like, what's the angle? And
the angle is not what I would think the angle

(54:16):
would be on the story. So a gosa very good beer.
It's a unique beer. It's tart, it's slightly bitter, very refreshing.
Usually comes out in summer summer months. Salty salty, Yeah,
salty is a good way to describe it. But apparently
there's an ingredient in this gosa that is brewed in Mexico,

(54:39):
and the secret ingredient, the main ingredient of this beer,
it's an insect, a grasshopper. And so Mexico City and
Los Cabos based branding studio Balla was given all important
task by Mexican beer brand Servesa Crew crew, who wanted
a label design for their new grasshopper beer the main ingredients.

(55:00):
So the story angle is not that they're brewing a
beer with an insect. It's the artist they seeked out
to design a label to make this grasshopper beer. That's
the angle of the story.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Okay, so apparently.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
This is normal. I guess we're just gonna brew a
beer with a grasshopper, So stopper, I guess this artists say,
you know, took quite pride in this becoming describing an
experience of a designing a label that would be fitting
of the notes of the beer. So he describes his
first experience of tasting the multi sensory with acidic notes

(55:36):
and salty, multi herbal profile. The particular taste profile of
this beer style is distinctly salty flavor because the original
production process uses salty water from the Ghostsa River in Barvaria, Germany.
The original beer was but although the idea of designing
the beer with grasshoppers struck strange and unusual and different,
he immediately felt its unusual and refreshing taste was unforgettable

(55:58):
and the flavors truly rubbered in a part of Mexican culture.

Speaker 3 (56:01):
And that's why the refreshing taste. You did you use
my pet peeve.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
And that's why they fell in love with the idea
of designing the label and the letter O on this
beer is initially created to represent the eye of the grasshopper,
but Balla pivoted with the redrew they look like a
human eye with a pupil dilating in a bid to
convey the intense moment of tasting a sour salty beer.
And the other label elements are highly abstract representation of

(56:27):
the cricket's tail and seen that represents a salty taste
with the green and peak dots and more hints of
grasshopper and gredient appear in the abstract depiction of the
grasshopper legs and patterns that are indicative of the sound
that make through the vibration. And each element was chosen
to convey different aspects of the grasshopper and the sensory
experiences of tasting the beer. And the artist says the

(56:50):
principal patterns allow us to create a unique language with
potential to expand the expression beyond the label. So the
angle of the story is not that they brewed a
beer with an insect or grasshoppers. Now the angle story
is the artist that designed the label to go along
with the grasshopper beer, James.

Speaker 4 (57:09):
They have to ask how happy was it?

Speaker 1 (57:18):
So yeah, Bala'll give a shout out to the artist.
Bala out there in Mexico City designs a radical label
for the category first grasshopper beer.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
Well that's at Yeah, if you didn't like that pun,
that's at Harbor lighte Bill on Instagram. He's got an
account now yeah, all right, all right, Well, hey, if
you want to go out for a pub crawl, I
got to talk to you. Don't go to Prague, and
I'll tell you why, because the deputy mayor of the
Czech capital does not want visitors coming there, because if

(57:51):
you're coming here for a short time only to get drunk,
go somewhere else. The city councilors have banned nighttime pub
crawls and saying that there's gonna be no more organized
pub crawls between ten pm and six am. The Czech capital,
which is basically, I mean, one of the biggest, actually
the biggest beer drinking country in the world, thanks mainly

(58:13):
to tourists. As home of one point three million people,
most who drink beer. They import a lot of tourists,
mainly from Great Britain, and apparently the nighttime pub crawls
have been just a little too unruly, and they're saying
we are trying to seek a more cultured and wealthier tourist,

(58:36):
not those who just come here for a short time
only to get drunk. By the way, that's my best
Proggyan accent anyway. Twenty twenty three, the World Lead, the
world's leading country in beer consumption, again mainly because of tourists,
is now shutting down pub crawls in the evening because
they want to seek a classier group of tourists. But

(59:00):
is not the first country to do this. No, Amsterdam
in the Netherlands they decided to shut this down, and
there are other cities considering a similar band. And if
you are looking at going to Amsterdam, consider that they
did this to detur people from showing up, saying would
you like to explore a city with a drink or

(59:20):
a joint in your hand? Or would you like a
guided tour amongst sex workers. Well, that's gonna be a hassle.
It's forbidden. So Prague, no more fun after ten pm.
That's right. Nothing good happens after ten pm and an
organized beer tour. Prague and other European cities shutting that down.
All right, when we come back, we're gonna talk about
the results of the Great American Beer Festival. We'll be

(59:42):
right back.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
If you encounter wine snobs, just take a full class
of wine and put it to your ear. Mines will
be blown. This is what's on tap radio.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Going out to Prague or Amsterdam to do some late
night pub crawling.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Not any more, Yard, we want a classier drunk banned.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
But they said that you can still go out to
the pubs. There just won't be any pub crawls.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Right, No organized pub crawls because you know, spending money
in this beer drinking capital where we drink more per
capita than anywhere else in the world, mainly because we
import tourists from the United Kingdom. Well, did you mention
needs to stop?

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Did you mention how much revenue it brings? Did you
mention how much revenue it brings the economy? I remember
it brought a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
But they were but they're like, but by shutting this
down and stopping it, we're going to get a wealthier
class see or drunk unorganized pub crawls.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Yeah, the bootlegs. Yeah, we're gonna meet in this parking
lot at ten pm, the unofficial, unofficial pub crawl.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
That's what they used to have to do in Texas.
Do you remember that back in the brock Wagner days.
There's a name drop speaking of Saint Arnold Brewing Company, Yeah,
they said, and we're allowed to pre announce your beer
events according to TABC Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, And so
people on social media were saying, since we can't announce
where we're going to be sometime between four and six pm,

(01:01:38):
probably right in the middle of there, We're going to
be near the corner of Morningside and University at one
of the oldest pubs in that in Rice Village. And
if you see us, feel free to join us. Meanwhile,
they're all at the Ginger Man. Everybody knows that, and

(01:01:59):
we knew where you were. And then you'd pub crawl
all over Rice Village. I remember, couldn't say what three
places you were going to.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
I went to Mania pub crawls in the Rice Village
with Saint Arnold back in the college years. Those were fun, man.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
Yeah, it was a scabby. It was like trying to
decipher the code underneath a bottle cap a loan.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
At the end, where what is that is that?

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Where are we going?

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
And then you, yeah, you would have to solve a
riddle or something with the bartender and then the bartender
would stamp your.

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
Card or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
And then at the end. At the end, if you've
got all the stamps, you got like a T shirt
and a pint glass or something.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
I was gonna say it was a pint glass, as
that was. And it was like, yeah, I got another
pint glass. And now everybody's like, I have so many
pint glasses. You know what pint glass I don't have.
I do not have a harbor Light brewing pint glass.
Just saying, Bill, just saying, all.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
Right, Great American Beer Festival in the book, in the books,
twenty twenty four, we did not go out there, Chad.
It's been since twenty nineteen since we've adventured out to
the Denver, Colorado Great American Beer Festival, since what y're
twenty nineteen, huh, Because I know that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
They had a record number of attendees, like sixty two thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Yeah, And I think I've been to GABF so many
damn times, and I think twenty nineteen was probably the
best year.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
It was fantastic.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
And I don't was that the same year it's a
stupid pub crawl that we went on. Was that the
same No, we're.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Just twenty eighteen we were talking about this, Yeah, we
were was one in twenty. Go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
So we we go on this media tour. They take
us to brewery to brewery to brewery, and uh, usually
they're amazing. We go to some really awesome breweries, we
meet some really awesome people. But one year they just
wanted to get real woke and so they took the's
like really just crazy breweries, which, by the way, by
the way, permanently close.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
All of them, all three of them, all gone. Of God.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
But uh, yeah, I could remember that was twenty. I
don't think that was twenty nineteen. I think that might
have been.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
I think it was eighteen. It was eighteen. Yeah, we
went and we got to the first one, it was
like the beer's not that good. We need to leave
and get on the bus. And we go into the
next place and we're like, okay, this is going to
be better. And we're like what the heck is this?
And well, at least the charcuterie board was tasty. And
then we went to the last place and and I

(01:04:10):
just checked and I'm like, yep, permanently closed. I'm like,
my gosh, all three of them are gone. It's like hey,
and and I gotta thank the GABF for taking us
and sponsoring this whole thing. But yeah, they and we
gave him feedback on it, and we told them it's like, hey,
this is something that you may want to just consider.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Yeah. And it wasn't just Chad and I. There were
a lot of media folks that were not happy about it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
But look at us this one year.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Look at us the numbers man, Uh, not a good
year in ticket sales for Great American Beer Festival.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
Yeah, let's see what happened between the record year and
this year.

Speaker 1 (01:04:48):
Yeah, twenty nineteen being the record year with over sixty
two thousand attendees, and then what happened. I went this
plandemic started, plandemic exactly, government lockdown, never recovered, and they
just have steadily just kind of they kind of rose
a little bit. But this year they expected between thirty

(01:05:09):
to forty thousand attendees. So considering the amount from sixty
two thousand and twenty nineteen to this year twenty twenty
four thirty to forty thousand. Now the numbers haven't come
out yet, the official numbers, but this is just what
we're going off of for now.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Yeah. I don't Yeah, I don't even know how you
even try to recover from that. But I want to
thank the Great American Beer festal oh, I love it
man in the Brewers Association for putting this on despite
the pandemic that impacted so much. I mean, it just
it changed how people respond and work, and I mean

(01:05:44):
it's affected our business. And if you ever want to
know about it, it's not radio worthy, but it's definitely
worth a beer in a conversation and reach out to us,
send us a message. We'll share. We We're not throw
anybody out of the bus. We'll just talk about what's
going on in the world. But it's just not it's
not that interesting. But what is interacting is that they
started giving out a lot of metals. Way I found out.

(01:06:04):
You know, what's the one thing that they hate at
the awards ceremony Whenever they say there was no bronze
medal in the category and everyone's like oooh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
I think I only heard one category where there was one,
not a bronze issued one. It was like a newer category.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
I don't remember what it was. Yeah, I think it
may have been, but it was three hundred and twenty
six medals given away of a possible three hundred and
twenty seven and that went to two hundred and seventy
three breweries. Now I found this interesting, this is crazy.
Of all the medals, sixty nine went to California, thirty
eight went to Colorado, thirty four went to Oregon. That's

(01:06:45):
one hundred and forty one of the three hundred and
twenty six medals. Forty three percent of all the medals
went to California, Colorado, and Oregon. That's crazy. Yeah, especially
when you can that there were eight and eight hundred
and thirty six beers entered into the competition. I'm like, okay,

(01:07:08):
that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Well, they do make good be out there. I'll be
honest with you, they do make good beer.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
They do all right. Number one category, come on you
E Ray knows Juicy hazy IPA.

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Oh I thought it was milkshake IPAs.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Glitter beer, but it was not glitter beer. No. Sorry,
Juicy Hazy IPAs with three hundred and forty nine entries,
and then followed by West Coast IPA two hundred ninety
two entries, and then followed by American IPA Sorry Fire
Marshal Matt with a two hundred and seventeen entries, and
then dort under German Style Octoberfest two hundred and ten.

(01:07:43):
There you go, James, followed by German Style marsin or
Aka october Fest one hundred and ninety five. So basically
the top five categories were IPA in Octoberfest. That was
the top five categories. Oh man, that's crazy. By the
way of we mentioned this on the medal count, fifty

(01:08:05):
of the one hundred and two gold medals went to California,
Oregon in Colorado, with twenty four of those going to California.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
That's crazy. That is that's also Stone Brewing picked up
a metal Stoned did yeah, Stone did Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Oh I couldn't see. There were so many medals in
California they couldn't keep up. But yeah, I know. But
in case you're wondering, I want to give a shout
out to mikey g and Iowa Radio Kiyakuk. I want
to thank you guys for broadcasting What's on Tap Radio.
They came home with four medals this year, and yeah,

(01:08:40):
single speed brewery out there, This one here got me
a single speed. I've had plenty of other beers out
there with with Ragbrie, but gold medal winning Big Grove
brewing Company Easy Eddie, which I was. That's a beer

seven eight. Nine medals is what I'm counting, and gotta
get give some love to the March tober Fest there.

(01:09:35):

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
Yeah that's right, man, I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
I'm cracking this beer in honor of them winning silver.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
You gotta throw some love for that. Absolutely, that's great.
But yeah, nine medals and John nominally true something.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
You picking up a medal for Houston as well.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
I know another one there that's our flagship market there KPRC.
So thank you very much Houston for representing and uh yeah,
here's though, the part that I want to get to.
I want to I just want to mention here the
breweries of the year, and we don't have enough time
to get to the the names. We'll we'll see if
we can squeeze that into the next segment.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Were check this out the breweries of the year.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
Just just listen to where they're from. California, Oregon, Oregon, California, California, Oregon, Vermont, California.
There you go. So those are the breweries of the year,
where they're where they're located. But g ABF another successful event,
despite the fact that maybe ticket sales were down, but

(01:10:45):
that does not deterar from the awesome beer that was
represented there. All right, we got one more segment of
What's on Tap Radio. When we come back, we'll talk
about beer names and we'll put a nice little happy
bow on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
We'll be right back 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 3 (01:11:13):
Tantrick Brewing Company proud sponsors What's on Tap Radio. We
want to thank them for joining us on the program
each and every week and make it possible for us
to bring you this fine radio program. You ever see
me Chad Pilbeam, the beer Logic guy hanging out there,
stop in for free What's on Tap Radio? High five?

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
All right, Still a couple of stories to get to
before we get out of here. This is the last
segment of What's on Tap Radio for this week. Thanks
to our friends over in Alga, Michigan at Tantrick Brewing
Company bringing you this segments.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
Yeah, we have to run over there and share some
of these beers from Sam and Joelane by the way,
speaking of the Witch, thank you again. Thank you Tantrick
Brewing Company, and thank you Sam and Joelene.

Speaker 5 (01:11:59):
Yep opening our last beer the evening the Grand Crew.
Thank you Sam and Joe Lee for sending those out
to us. And this from Saint Arnold Brewing Company. It's
a forty seven percent ABV.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
I don't know what it is. It's something big and
it's strong. I don't know. It's a Grand Crew.

Speaker 4 (01:12:15):
Sixteen point sixteen point nine.

Speaker 3 (01:12:17):
I believe that's a good way to end the show,
all right, I guess we're not going anywhere near high school.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
Okay, not getting handsy with students.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
No, we would even sober. I'm not getting handsy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
No, thats that's one discussing principle. If you missed that,
hold my beer and watch this. A principal got a
little too handsy with some students after you did some
pregame and showed up to a dance drunk and got
a public intoxication.

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
Maybe what he could do, Maybe just because he's now unemployed,
maybe he could go and solicit his services. Oh wait,
let me finish that sentence, solicited services coming up with
beer names. We want to go ahead and share with
you some of what we thought were the best beer
names from the winners at the Great American Beer Festival.

(01:13:06):
So you're ready for this change, You ready to.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
Lawyers hogs and money back beer. I like that, Just lawyers,
hogs and money. Why you put those together? I don't know,
but let's grab three words and slam them together. Hey,
I still like the March Toberfest from Galos Island, which
you're drinking right now. That made the list.

Speaker 1 (01:14:00):
Shout out to the Galas Island Brewing great beer, Marchtoberfest.

So shout out to them.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
I guess what kind of beer that is. It's a
half of Iison. Yeah, don't hassle the hoff don't hassle
the half razzle for shazzle. That's right. That's a berliner
Vice and trash Pandemonium. And then my two favorite beer
names of all time. You guys decide which one wins.
This is either barrel aged Imperial Satan's Pony or humongous

(01:15:24):
Sleepy Chungus Bear. Those are my two favorites right there,
the barrel aged Imperial Satan's Pony or the humongous Sleepy
Chungus Bear. Those are the best names of the winners
for the Great American Beer Festival, according to my very
scientific list.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
All right, shout out to all the winners, especially true
nominally out in my neck of the woods and Gallason
Island Brewing, which I'm drinking this mark sober fist delicious beer.
I get like caramel notes in it, which I really like.
All right, so real quick, before we get out of here,
I wanted to discuss just how much an armor leg
is worth these days. You probably heard of somebody complaining

(01:16:01):
about the groceries, especially with inflation going on right now,
and armor la these eggs costs or milk cost But
they're exaggerating because it's not eggs that are more expensive.
It's that technically an armor leg are worth a lot
more than what you have in the bank. And here's
how we know. Just a heads up for any serious
story out there. This is a serious story. We're not

(01:16:23):
trying to sell anything on the black market or the
dark web. So six years ago, a fifty six year
old drunk man in New York City fell onto his
subway tracks and a train operator failed to stop in
time and the train ran them over, severing one of
his legs, his hip joint, and most of his arm.
He survived but was unable to work again, so he
filed lawsuit against the MTA and won. The court awarded

(01:16:47):
him ninety million dollars. Whoa So in a little breaks
down and the little sense, they ruled that an armor
leg is worth ninety million dollars. See, apparently the man
had been drinking, but the corps found that the train
operator would have had time to stop at the train
would have just pulled the emergency brake. And the driver

(01:17:08):
did admit that he saw people on the platform were
waving frantically, and he saw something on the tracks and
he thought it was a bag of garbage. He also
admitted that he should have breaked so during the trial,
an expert estimated that the victim's lifetime medical expenses would
have reached seventeen million dollars. It could have reached just
seventeen million dollars, but the court decided to award him

(01:17:28):
at ninety million dollars. So next time somebody ask you
how much is an armor leg worth ninety million dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
Turns out that the guy who fell on the track,
he is a former principal of a high school I
was fired from. Oh sorry, no, I just made that up.
She's drinking.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
It does not say, but apparently he fell onto the tracks,
and yeah, here he is ninety million dollars. This reminds
me of those This is why dash cams are so
popular in Russia. I don't know if you've seen these
Russian videos where these pedestrians are just throwing themselves on
the cars and then claiming that the car ran them over,

(01:18:08):
but the dash can video clearly shows them jumping out
into the road. But yeah, this guy actually won in
a sense. So yeah, an arm of the leg cost
ninety dollars. All right, Uh, one more quick story before
we get out of here. I always want to end
on a high notes thanks to our longtime broadcaster here
in the Houston market, to mister Dave Ward. But uh,
where is the story? Sorry, guys. I had the story

(01:18:31):
pulled up and there it is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
There.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
It is Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Speaker 3 (01:18:35):
Heard of it just down the road.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
Yeah, right down the road from where Chad and Bill
are broadcasting right now. A woman in Kalamazoo, Michigan recently
gave birth in the parking lot of a brewery. Her
husband was rushing to the hospital, but they didn't quite
make it and they had to pull over. And the
name of the brewery was Chad.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
One well Brewing, One Well Brewing, Kalamazoo, Portage, Michigan, right there.

Speaker 1 (01:19:02):
One well Brewing. And so they named their new son
Foster Foster Wells Baker Wells because the name of the
brewery is called One Well Brewing. Now the owners of
the place had just returned the favor their newest beer
called Special Delivery. And I actually have a clip here.
Here's a nine one one call of Kyle and Aaron

(01:19:24):
Baker talking about the berth and this is again at
the parking lot of One Well Brewing in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
This has cut eight. Call over someplace and tell me
where we're at.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
Can we go to One Well Brewing company that parking
lot there?

Speaker 6 (01:19:40):
But the timing was literally perfect, Like he said, he
threw the car and park ran around, opened the.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Passenger door just in time for the to you know,
be safely in his hand. And so we were talking
about Chad and I we visited his brewery when I
was in Michigan. And he was like, you don't remember
the one with all the pinball games and the arcades.
And I was like, no, Chad, I don't remember any
births happening in the parking lot.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
It's not a maternity war and it's a brewery.

Speaker 1 (01:20:08):
So shout out to this family, Kyl and Aaron Baker. Correctly.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
One of the stories I read said said, we're not
gonna make it to the hospital. But I know a
place we can go. Thought, let's go to the brewery.

Speaker 1 (01:20:23):
I hope they gave the data nice beer to a
celibatory beer. But there you go. Family, welcomes Baby and
the Kalamazoo Brewery parking lots nice way to end the show.
Do you want to mention Chad that this year at
the Great American Beer Festival, the first time they issued
cider categories?

Speaker 3 (01:20:41):
Ye was it? Five news categories?

Speaker 1 (01:20:43):
Yeah, with with siders. So shout out to them. And
