And I desperately need a beer. I'm glad this show
is finally on the air. You know, we have rules
that you don't can't crack a beer until the mike's
are hot. And I abide by those rules because without rules,
it'll just be chaos.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
You don't hear Bill complaining about the snow.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
No, no, no. You know why because he went and
stood in a deer like a tree stand with a
crossbow and watched four deer go by, and he's like,
can't shoot that one, can't shoot that one. Well, you
can't shoot that one.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
I'd shoot any of them if I had a shot.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, Welcome to Chad.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
For this week's brought to the table. I can't wait
to share it with you.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
But before we get underway, let's get some housekeeping out
of the way, because without these wonderful friends of ours,
we wouldn't be here. And that being Bier Logic conference events,
the backyard girl keeping the light's nice and bright, thanks
to our friends over Hard Light Brewing and of course
sponsoring our podcast which is available everywhere, and thanks to
our friends over at Cast Branding. I was told I
read off the advertisers too fast, so I was trying

(03:12):
to slow it down just a tad bit so love.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
But this is a show, no no lies.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
This is a show about being the culture around it,
where Chad and I and Bill crack some beers and
you know, we hope that we can entertain and educate
you and amongst other things.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
So let's do let's crack a beer.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
And thanks to our friends over at the Backyard Grill,
which sponsors the first segment of the show, which is
brought to the table where I'm bringing a beer and
Chad's bringing a beer and Bill's bringing a beer. And
I hope whatever you are doing as long as you
were doing responsibly having a beer with us.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
And it was walking out over there at the BYG
when I was in town. So thanks guys. Great to
see everybody again. Always a fun time over at BYG
on the northwest side of Houston. Every time I come
to town, go out there, get something. But James, I
know you were excited. See this is the thing. We
know this about you. October Fest season, You're gonna you
just can't wait to get a beer open because of that.

(03:59):
Now what season is it?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Pumpkin spice season?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Oh James, please kick things off and let's get in
the mood.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Almost okay, So I am diving straight into the deep end.
I am going into the ten foot deep pool with
the Saint Arnold Award winning Pumpkinator.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
My gosh, dude, nothing like Okay, where do you go
from there? I mean, when you when you start with
the best, where do you go then?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I mean?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I really don't have a lot of PS beers, Pumpkin
spice beers and CDUs here.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I do have a few, but it's a bomber. Yeah,
it's a bomber. And I know I'm not going to
be drinking this entire thing on the show, because otherwise
it will be a train wreck of a show.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But you know, it smell like a Yankee candle.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
This comes to you at ten point four percent. This
is the Pumpkinator from Saint Jarl Brewing Company. Now I
have a twenty twenty five to one, but I went
to grab it out of the fridge and realize I
grabbed the twenty twenty four one, which it was right
next to it. So I decided, you know what, let
me just go with the twenty twenty four one. Since
I pulled it out, it's so stage for a year,
might as well, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
All right, bomber twenty two ounce. Yeah, that's a term
that a lot of people may have forgotten. This like
lost language, the bomber, the twenty two ounce. Why do
they call them bombers. Does anybody know anyone? Anyone? I don't.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
I always remember the torpedoes.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Torpedo. Well, that's similar. Thing is because the shape, it's
the shape of the bottle. It looks like a bomb.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Over a year, this spices have mellow it out a
bit off the aroma. Let me go and take a
sip of this and see if it matches the aroma.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Also, if you drink the whole thing, you probably get
a little boond. Yeah, all right, here we go, James.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Caramel, nutmeg, cinnamon, all blended nicely together. So last week
I had the Pumpkin and Logger from Carbock, where the
cinnamon really just overpowered the whole beer. But this one's
very complex, very balanced when it comes to the spices.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
So you get an.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Even amount of nutmeg, you get an even amount of cinnamon, ginger,
and uh yeah, it's fair very well, very well done
at ten point four percent. And I will talk more
about this coming up after a Chad and Bill and
lighten us what they brought to the table. But again
the pumpkin Eader Imperial Pumpkin Stout from Santa lu Berwin Company.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
The twenty twenty four. I was gonna bring the twenty
twenty five, but I was like, you know, let's just
to to twenty twenty four for show purposes, and.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, what id And I can tell you if it's
if I had the twenty twenty five, the spices would
be a lot more prominent. But yeah, very mellow as
it aged over the past year.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
All right, well, James, thanks very much for kicking off
pumpkin spice latte season again. But I'll tell you what,
Bill and I not really big into the pumpkin beers
and you know what, We're just gonna skip a season.
Oh wait, what's that I hear?

Speaker 2 (06:42):

percent same.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Mon's Boston Logger glass. What do you get out of it? Chad?

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Dry but a little bit of I'm getting some dark
fruit and dry. There's almost a little bit of sweetness
that goes with it but finishes really dry roasty. A
nice porter seven point three percent from three Floyds. That's
what we're kicking things.

Speaker 6 (07:37):

Speaker 4 (07:40):

Official Red Rider beby gun with a compass and a
stock in this thingy that tells time.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Shoot your You know, I haven't flipped over to the
other stations, the adult contemporary stations. I'm pretty confident they've
already started playing Christmas music. I'm not one hundred percent sure.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Oh yeah they have here in gr Yeah, Michigan roll and.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
I feel like on October thirty first, when it rolls
over to November first, is when they flipped the stations
to Christmas music. Because judging by like my neighbors in
the big box stores, I mean, I have neighbors that
are fully decorated in their front yard for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I mean we always celebrated Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yet I have you know, You'll drive by through the
neighborhood at night and people have their windows open, and
then in the window is a nice brightly light, brightly
litxcuse me, Christmas tree or time.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
But yeah, yeah, Bill was out there in a tree stand.
He was out there and the deer went went by.
One of them had a Santa hat on and another
one had a red nose.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, so you can't kill me. I'm Rudolph. But hey, look,
if you're in the holiday spirit, hey, good for you.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
I am the one more tasty.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I like to, you know, follow the holidays in chronological order.
So here we have Thanksgiving coming up. Let's celebrate that,
and then we'll celebrate Christmas.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Christmas, yeah, the other one. Yeah, but it's one of
the big three. Come on, James, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Well, I mean you want to talk about Kwanza and Hanukkah.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
I mean, hey, look, I don't know anybody who celebrates Quansa,
but if you do, hey, I'm happy for you. That's
probably one of your big three.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
But in order, I go october Fest and then we
do the pumpkin spice beers, which I'm enjoying right now.
Brought the table thanks for friends over the backyard grill,
where I kicked it off with the ten percent pumpkin
eader from Saint Arnold Brewing Company, which is a big
black stout full of spice. Originally originally Divine Reserve number nine.

(10:49):
I missed the Divine Reserve series from Saint Arnold is.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
So yeah, I had I had a bottle of every
one of them that was in my cellar and we
drank them. We cracked them open right before I moved
to Michigan. Back to Michigan.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
So if you don't know what the Saint Arnold Divine
Reserves series are is and Saint Arnold would.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Put out what was it twice a year, No, it
was it was just whenever they wanted to put it out, Okay,
they just when they had one. The first one was
a barley wine and they put no limits on it,
and I remember I ended up buying two cases and
they only made.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, it was it was hard to find. It was
almost like a treasure hunt.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Well at first it's like, oh, I'll go get it
next week or I'll go get it later. And they
only made three hundred and twenty cases of the dr
one and it was like whoa, whoa, whoa, And then
all of a sudden they start putting limits on it.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
So, but it was a very limited batch of beer.
And this was a number nine. I don't even remember
how many it got to it. I think it was
like nineteen twenty nineteen.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
I don't or maybe got twenty one? You got, yeah,
twenty one.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I think, okay, But anyways, they because I wanted.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Them to make three more so we get the case right,
but they wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
But yeah, so this was number the original number nine.
But it is just full of spices, molasses, brown sugar,
rich malfeel. I feel like any beer that I bring
after this beer, I'm my palace completely wrecked from it.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
I was gonna say, but I had the if I
remember correctly, they made the Bishop's barrel version of that,
and that was the That was the bourbon barrel aged
version of Pumpkinador. And the first time I had that
was Outlawed days before I was a guest on What's
on Tap Radio for the very first time.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
We used to do the show at Outlaw days world
Wide headquarters. He had a little studio and Outlaw Day
would have asked me, he said, hey, what beers should
I be getting into my bar? And I'm like, oh,
you gotta get this one. And you know, he would
bring in the bisious barrels and the divine reserves and
all that. So those were good times, good times. But
again ten percent, and I remember when this beer came
out in two thousand and nine. I left work early
to go get it because I heard that it was

(12:51):
very limited and that it was gonna be hard to get.
And I think the first couple batches were and then
they realized, all right, we need to start pumping more
of these out and they sense it have But I
remember taking off of work, like, you know, a couple
hours early so I can get out there and get
it before it.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
It was, you know, off the shelves. But yeah, that's
what I kicked it off with.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
And then Chad and Bill, Hey, they're like, you know what,
screw you, Turkey, We're going straight to this Christmas Man.

Speaker 6 (13:16):
Yeah, three Floyds, Alpha King, Christmas Porter Fantastic.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah or Alpha clause one of the two.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
It's okay.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Chack can't do Boss, Chack can't do math. Bill can't
pronounce beer names, and I can't pronounce beer se.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Do math is fine. I just I just miscalculated what's
six times over the alcohol or over the legal limit was.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
And our listeners are sharp and they go to What's
on tap radot gmail dot com and they call us
out on it.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Now the official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of
the Week, brought to you by Who's ever check clear?

Speaker 4 (13:50):
This week, her wife teaches a math class. Get a
calculator from her. You dumb it.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
We're we're We're human. Okay, we made mistakes.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
No one's perfect, especially when you're doing math on the
fly while drinking and trying to keep a live radio
show going. All right, folks, Speaking of keeping things going, man,
I gotta tell you we are redecorating our house and
remodeling still.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Christmas.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
If we don't get moving on this house, if I
don't figure out how self leveling compound works to get
my floors in, that Christmas tree is not going up. Sorry, honey,
speaking of my wife. But one of the other things
that we are eventually going to be replacing will be
doors and door handles and all other fun stuff. And
I discovered as I was looking up, you know, different

(14:40):
fixtures and things for remodeling my house, I stumbled onto
this little ditty of a fun fact that it takes
us all the way back to the fourteenth century in Regensburg, Germany.
I thought, wow, man, I've never been to Bill. You've
been there, No, never have to ever hear of it? Ah, Yeah,

(15:00):
I've heard of it. I've heard of Ginsburg, Germany or
never been there or Gensburg.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
Bill, that's my bits, that's my bid, all right, just
before you hit downtown.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Leave my bid alone. Bill.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
It's yeah, I've definitely heard of that place. I've definitely
heard of Peoria, Illinois.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Send me a T shirt, all right.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Well, anyway, it turns out that there are a lot
of artifacts and historical objects from the fourteenth century there
in that part of the world. And this particular style
of door was made really popular there in Germany, and
it carried throughout Europe, and it picked up kind of

(15:48):
a Gothic look, and it became even more popular in
different parts of Europe, not just in Germany in the
seventeenth and eighteenth century. And this door that I speak
of is none other than the drunkard's door or the
drunk man's door. And why is it called the drunkard's

(16:09):
door the drunk man's door because it is equipped with
a drunk key hole. If you, I know, James is
looking at me. He's like, oh yeah, uh yeah, I
know you're thinking about what how does this work? Okay,
so you got your little key and you're trying to
put it in the tiny little key hole. But you've
been out drinking and so you're fumbling around, and if

(16:31):
you've ever done that, or if you're in the dark
and you're like, like, can you get it in there?
And I mean, this is this is the thirteen hundreds?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Are you talking about a key hole?

Speaker 4 (16:42):
That one you can fumble around in the dark and
usually make this one here is a little bit harder
to get to pull off. You're trying to get the
key in the door and unlock the door, and you
can't see you're too drunk. So they design the key
hole to have this rim around it. It was a brass
or iron rim pressed into the door so that you

(17:04):
could take your key and just get close and then
you could slide it down almost so was shaped like
a v like one of those things that like those
toys you had as a kid, and the marble rolls
along the track on both sides. Just hit the door
and when your key goes clink, you just follow it down.
Let gravity do the work, and it goes right right

(17:25):
into the keyhole. And it's the drunk man's keyhole. So
you're official. What's on tap Radio? Fun Fact of the
Week is in fourteenth century Weregensburg, Germany. Somebody's gonna correct
me man the pronunciation of that, but that's okay, I
don't care. They made the drunk key hole, which then
became very popular with a Gothic look throughout the seventeenth

(17:46):
and eighteenth centuries all over Europe. And it was designed
to help drunkards get home.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
And I also heard that that key hole is really
low on the door too, in case you come crawling home.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Oh that's what that is, no idea, but if you're
trying to find it.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
In the dark, or you are trying to get the
key into the key hole after a night of heavy drinking,
the drunk key hole was there for you.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
I mean, dude, ingenuity, you know, know thy customer. I mean,
that's that's an option I don't offer at home depot now,
but maybe they should. That's your official What's on Tap
Radio fun fact.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Of the week A drunk key hole? Huh?

Speaker 4 (18:25):
All right?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Interesting or something new every week?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
All right, we're gonna take a break on tap this week.
Modell's coming out with their own Christmas beer. We got
a bridge over troubled beer, and how about a beer
that gets stuck to the top of your mouth.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Is that something you will be interested in? Also? So
much more? Hang with us, We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
The only thing we throw back on Thursday, he's a
pint of beer or two or three. This is what's
on tap radio. Get back to James and Chad.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Just telling Chad and build her and to break you know.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I'm joining the Saint Arnold a Pumpkin Ead or the
twenty twenty four edition from like I said, st Arnold
Broom coming to.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Imperial Pumpkin Ale at ten percent.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
And it's like Caso, you send me down in front
of a thing, a case, so I will eat the
whole damn thing.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
I have no first I was so confused, no.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Self control, no self control.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
I can just give spice porter or stout taste like
Caso does. Thanks, but James will it all?

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I will eat it.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
And I'm afraid that I'll drink this entire bomber which
is how many ounces there, Chads, a bomber deuce deuce
twenty two ounces.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I can't drink twenty two ounces by myself. I would
be you can.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
I'm just not if you know you're gonna be looking
for that drunk key hole. How do I get out
of this studio.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
So I'm not gonna I'm gonna picture Rodney. I'm gonna
pick on Rodney Campbell of cass Branding.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Oh wait a minute, Hold on a second. You mentioned
drunk keyhole and then said I'm gonna pick on Rodney Campbell.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
So okay, we're out in. I don't even remember what
city we were in, Austin.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Maybe Austin, I don't even I'm predicting it's Austin.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Could have been. We travel. We travel a lot, so
we were at There.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Was electric jellyfish involved too.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
We were at a hotel and for some reason he
went up before I did, but not maybe like a
minute or two before I did. And I get up
there and he's taking his wallet and like trying to
scan the door because you know, nowadays we have the
key cards, we don't have the key to actually put it.
And he's like, he keeps hitting his wallet and it's

(20:51):
not opening. He's like, I don't know what's happening. I
have the card right here in my wallet, and he
keeps hitting the wallet on the on the key and
I'm like, are you sure. He's like yeah, And I
was like, pull that card out, and he pulled the
card out was.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
A visa card.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
He's been sitting there trying to open the door with
his visa card and for some reason he didn't have
it in his wallet. But like you would think, after
like maybe like the sixth or seventh time that he
tried to scan it and it wasn't scanning, he would
look at him like, wait, is this not the right car? No,
he just kept doing it. He's like, he's not opening.
It's not opening.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
I know this moment of desperation, because what happened is
is you've gone all the way up to the fifth floor,
waited for the elevator, walked all the way down one hallway,
then turned went down another hallway, then turned went down
another hallway, and you know how far it is back
to the front desk when your key doesn't work. Yeah,
and he's sitting there, He's like, come on, man, just
work once I'm getting new one in the morning, come on, man,
just work, please, come on, come on, please please please.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
But I mean I had the key in my pocket,
so I just took the key and opened up. You
have the key, Well no, I mean, well they give
us multiple keys, and so he thought he had put
it in his wallet, but he hadn't. But the thing is,
like he kept sitting there just scanning it and scanning.
What's the definition of an a psychopath? Somebody just keeps
doing the same thing for the same results.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
And that No, no, you're so close on that, on
that that that so well known phrase. No, James, it's
it's doing the same thing over and over and expecting
different results as a definition of insanity.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Okay, there, I knew it was something in that nature.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Okay, do you have to get to some of these
stories here? And you know, I I opened up Christmas
beer right and and well, thank you Bill for going
out and getting it. And uh he went and got
this and it was the alpha clause from Three Floyds.
And then I see this in the news, breaking news,
breaking news out of Mexico, Falise Navidad. Man, I missed

(22:43):
an opportunity right there. I should have had that queued
up right there, police Navidad. Yeah. But Modello, it's Modella
time fool or I don't know how you would say
it in Spanish, and I just I got to get
on my dual lingo. But Modello is now coming out
with a new Christmas beer. I'm thinking to myself, wait

(23:04):
a minute, Felice Navidad, how did they not have, Like
that's such a big celebration in the Mexican culture, and
I wanted to know what it was. And it turns
out that they're coming out with this Christmas lagger inspired
by Noche Buena, and I thought, what the heck is
nocha buena?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Good thing?

Speaker 4 (23:22):
I did lingo No, I actually googled it. It's Christmas Eve.
It means it literally means good night or good news,
because that's what's being celebrated. A five point eight percent
amber lagger. It sounds almost like a Niggro Modelo Yeah,
Dark Medello, yep, Modelo No che especial a five point

(23:45):
eight percent amber lager coming out, so be looking for that.
But this is what caught threw me off on this
whole thing with the releases, because we get all these
press releases on these new beers that come out. I'm
calling a little bit of BS on this one. I
need our our listeners. You guys are savvy out there.
I need you to catch somebody's got to explain this
one to me. But this is breaking news coming out

(24:08):
of the Boston beer company Samuel Adams is now unwrapping
the Winter White Ale. They were first new winter seasonal
in thirty years. Really that thank you exactly. You're telling
me that in thirty years Sam Adams has not launched

(24:33):
a new winter seasonal.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Well, that does not seem is it that they haven't
released a new holiday seasonal.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
They just had, like correct the seasons they've always come
out with in the right time, but they just haven't
put out a new one.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Right And this is the Winter White Ale. And I
swear I've had a Sam Adams Winter White Ale before.
I swear I have no I feel.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Like I have because I I feel like my mom
really likes that beer as well.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
I know it's it's it's weird now, like I feel
like am I being gas lit? Here is this fake news?

Speaker 6 (25:07):
AI?

Speaker 4 (25:08):
But it actually is on the wire, and so we've
got the press release. It's on the wire. It's on
tons of different news outlets. I think I picked this
one off of BBC and I actually did. This one's
off BBC for crying out loud, very reputable news source,
and they're saying that Sam Adams releasing their first new

(25:28):
winter seasonal thirty years. So it's been the same old
stuff for three decades. But now they're saying a spice
citrucy white ale made to celebrate the holiday season. And
I don't know, was it there other one, the winter Lagger,
Well yeah, they're not the white Ale. No, but there
was a white ale that came out and I don't
know if it was a winter white Ale, but maybe

(25:50):
that I don't know. Maybe what they're doing isped at
and check it out. I know, once I scroll past
my long drinks and my twisted tea find out. You know,
I have checked in. You know. Now that's all right,
all right, So now that if somebody wants to fact
check me on that one, please check me out on that.

(26:12):
But the new I am looking forward to the Winter
Variety pack. It's called the Winter Break Variety Pack. Winter
Logger is going to be in there. That's a that's
a classic. The old Fezi Wig which I love, Cold
Brood coffee stout that was added last year, and then
the new Winter White Ale.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Those sam alunt of Vriety packs are really cool. I
like those.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
They do a nice job.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
You know, it also does a nice one is New Belgium.
They have a nice winter pack as well. I love that.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
That's what really puts me into holiday spirit is those
variety packs. Although I remember I got to get through
pumpkin spice season before I start diving into those beers.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I have disciplined people.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
James is like, be like me.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Look, man, if you want to put you up, put
up your Christmas tree and November first, you do you boo?

Speaker 2 (26:58):
All right? I just don't. We don't do that here
the Simpson House.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
All right.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Speaking of press releases, I got another one. Hey, you
want to feel old, you want to feel old?

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Well, I mean I thought that old. Whenever I found
out that Sam Adams hasn't released a new winter beer
in thirty years, I'm like, I remember their last one.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
How about go ahead by realizing that the Spashing Pumpkins Melancholy.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Album Melancholly the Infinite Sadness right came out.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
Thirty years ago? Stop it thirty years ago?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah, with the release of the last Winter's release of
from Sam.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Adams, Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary.
That makes me feel really old, because I mean I
went to high school with the Grande era. How did
it thirty years already happen well. A local brewery called
Hop Butcher of the World has teamed up once again
with Madam sue Zu's Emporium Madame Suzu's Imporium the Highland

(27:55):
Park Teahouse, owned by Billy Corgan and Chloe Mindel Corgan,
to create a special anniversary beer called Twilight to Starlight.
It is an eight percent hazy double India pallel brew
with tropical fruit tea in Madam Soussu's is named after
the second disc of the band's legendary double album, and
the limited edition beer will be available. Oh here's yesterday's

(28:18):
news tomorrow Tuesday, November twelfth.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Hey guys, thanks for proofing the press release before putting
it on the desk. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
It was available in four packs and the Chicago area
stores and fans can also enjoy the beer with special
artwork during the sold out A Night of Melancholy in
the Infinite Sadness performances at the Lyric Opera running through
November twenty first through the thirty.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
So okay, okay, so least that's going on that one's
got some legs left.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, but it's a hometowns.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Everyone enjoyed November tenth.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, it's a hometown toast to one of the rock's
most iconic albums and a reminder of that in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
The World's not a vampire. It's a celebration.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Oh that's so cheesy.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Chicago Brewery. Uh yeah, Chicago Brewery, Hot Packy Butcher of
the World for the world steaming.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Up with Billy Corgan's Tea House to celebrate their thirtieth
anniversary of the Melancholy album. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
That's fun.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
There's a lot of people out there that I know
that are diehard, smashing Pumpkins fans that are probably want
to get their.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Hands on that. So all right, we gotta take a
break still to come, we're gonna talk about it. Speaking
of new beers, how about drinking a beer that sticks
to the top of your mouth? Are you beat into that?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
And we're gonna talk about a bridge over a troubled beer?
All this is so much more. Hang with us, we'll
bright back.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Did you know that six beers a day can reduce
your risk of giving a rats ass?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
All right, walk back to what's on tap radio where
I don't know what season you're celebrating, right, now, well
holiday you're into maybe you're thinking, you know, I still
want to dress up and I'm still eating leftover candy.
Can we can we leave the Halloween decorations up a
little bit longer? You know, I just heard it. I
just heard it once on tap radio that you can

(30:29):
pair Halloween candy with beer. Now, Oh my gosh, it's
so a mateid. It's actually it's stupid and terrible. But
you know what I like to pair, like to pair
an empty beer glass with a brand new beer and
and it tastes amazing and harlight. Bill and I we
just dropped off the Alpha Claus Winter. We just skipped

(30:51):
right into Christmas. And our good friend James there in
studio ass hanging out in Katie, Texas on the west
side of Houston. He uh, he's still stuck in the
pumpkin spice latte season, seeing as that's what's going on.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
This might be it, though, This might be it for
me because I don't have very many pumpkin spice beers
in my fridge here studio, so this.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Might be it.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
All right, Well, we're not sticking with those. We're going
with cone Zilla India pal Al from Fat Heads Brewery
out of Middleburg Heights, Ohio. Chad, What's that tastes.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Like like an award winning beer from an award winning brewery.
It's bitter, it's dank, it's angry, it's dry, it's crisp,
it's I mean, I would crush this whole thing. I
would chug it right now. It's so refreshing, that's wonderful.
That is bright. It's not sweet. It's not citrusy in

(31:44):
pineapple e and grapefruity. It is just piny, piney. And yeah,
so if you hate I p as, then give me this, nobody,
I'll take it for you.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Nobody hates.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yeah, right, Matt and my brother Fred same thing. Yeah,
they just hate him. But I thought of this beer.
I saw it on the shelf, and I don't know why.
I thought of it right away. At me, he jumped out,
and I'm like, oh, that's really cool, and then it
hit me. And I know some of our listeners and
stay with me here, folks, if you're not from the

(32:21):
Houston area, I just want to just give a quick
shout out. We lost a good friend in the beer industry,
mister Ryan Hooper, and I you know, I checked his
Facebook page and his slogan on there was actually a
Van Wilder quote and it said, never live life too

(32:43):
seriously or you'll never get out alive. And he was
just an all around fun, awesome guy that was always respectable.
And that's what I dug about him. He drank responsibly,
he drank respectfully, He treated people with respect. And what
this beer made me think of is he had some

(33:04):
of the most fun in creative advertisements that he created
for a bar he worked at. He worked at a
beer bar called Beers Looking at You, Like, Here's looking
at you kid, Yeah, Beer's looking at you blay b
l A Y. And he created these little what do
they call stop motion videos right with with little characters

(33:25):
like he Man and Godzilla figures. Yeah, he used action
figures and they were really really clever and creative, and
and he would find a way to make like lightning
come out of their eyes and things like that and
create these little videos and will be missed. He wasn't
working in the beer industry at the time when he passed,
but still a great friend and served up a lot

(33:48):
of great beers, a lot of great memories down there
in the webster and what is it, clear Lake area
on the southeast side.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Of Friends, clear Lake area webster.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
I don't think I've met anyone who has anything negative
to say about Ryan.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Nicest guy.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
He was such a nice guy, great.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Customer service, knew his beer.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
When you walked into beers looking at you, he would
treat you like your family. Even if you didn't ever
met him before, he would. You would walk in and
he was just like, hey, welcome, and.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
You were the most important customer. Yeah, when you walked in, he.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Was very animated.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
And I've read a lot of reviews and they talked
about how they always felt so welcome. They walked in,
you know, unsure of what to expect, and they were
greeted by Ryan, and it just felt so comfortable and
at home with his hospitality. And it was definitely a
blow getting the news of his loss. But man, just

(34:45):
an all around fantastic guy who has just gone too soon.

Speaker 4 (34:49):
So we don't we don't mean to bring down the No,
we really don't. In fact, what we want to do
is raise a glass and Ryan, Amen, let's go right here.
And the other thing I want to say about that is,
if you have a favorite bar, and you got a
favorite bartender, you know, It's it's one thing to leave
a really good tip, but don't be afraid to speak

(35:12):
up and let him know how much you appreciate him, because,
as you know, you know, we learned here just by
losing a good friend of ours, you know, just I mean,
he was well known in the Houston area and.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
He will be missed.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
He will be and let them know while they're here
that you appreciate him.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
So when my wife and I first got married in
two thousand and eight, we were living in Stafford at
the time, which is a southwest neighborhood in Houston, in.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
South of Katie. You're still on the west side.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeah, And my wife had ended up, you know, she
had just graduated from college and she ended up getting
a job in the Clear Creek, ISD.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
So we decided to move out to the Webster.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Area and we lived off a buriable bard And that's
how I got to know a lot of the people
who lived out there, and I met Ryan when I
was living out there. And one of the bars that
we would hang out with because we lived literally we
could walk there from our apartments was Molly's Pub.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
Now, just for those who don't know, this is down
by NASA.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah, ellington Field, and I loved living out there. I
remember sitting out on my porch watching that when they
would practice for the air show. All these be fifty
two's and it was so fun. And like I said,
there was a bar that was around the block from
us called Molly's, and my wife and I would go
to Molly's pretty.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Much every Friday.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
We didn't have kids back then, when we were young,
and they had a great dark board.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
We would play darts and play dominoes.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
They had the best juke box, and this is where
the hijacking of the juke box came from. If you
heard Chad and I talk about over the years, how
we would hijack a jukebox and we'd pump twenty dollars
in and play dire Straits Money for Nothing.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Just play the same song over over and over again.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
That's what we do.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
And then finally they would just get so aggravated and
like unplug the jukebox. Because that used to happen when
we were at wind Coop. But that originated from Molly's
Pub in clear Lake, where one time I was, you know,
feeling good, and I pumped in twenty dollars and I
was like, you know what I'm gonna play. I'm gonna
play dire straits money for nothing, and I did and
no one said a word about it. So that's where

(37:18):
that's where that came from. But sad news this week
man Monday morning, around six thirty am, flames and Gulf
Molly's Pub, destroying the entire building. So the Houston Fire
Department Arson unit is investigating the costs. But a popular
neighborhood bar and clear Lake total loss after fire just
ripped through the pub. It didn't help that it was

(37:40):
very windy that day and so wind was just blowing
the fire and ended up the roof collapsed. Luckily, luckily,
no one was injured. But it took over a dozen
firefighters to put it out.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
That's a lot of alarms or like bill volunteer fireman
or no volunt your fireman at one point.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's spent twenty six years, all right.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
So he's sitting over here survey and you know, he's
assessing the damage through this fine program.

Speaker 5 (38:09):
I know he can get charged for arson, but I
wonder if he could also get ticketed for alcohol abuse.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
I don't know, Well, we don't know. The investigation is
still early, so we don't know if it was arson.
He's in a fire department is investigating whether or not
it's arson or not. But because the roof collapsing, fire
destroyed the entire Molly's clear Lake and.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
Wasn't correct me if I'm wrong, And it's been a
it's been a hot minute since I've been there. But
their food was pretty amazing from what I remember, And.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I think the other thing I don't remember, man, I
don't remember.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
It had one signature dish that everybody went nuts for
if I remember. But the outside of that place, wasn't
it kind of like a teaky bar and it had
like the I mean Molly's. It was supposed to be
what an Irish thing? But yeah, because it was down
by the island, didn't they have palm trees out there?

Speaker 1 (38:53):
And yeah, they end up because it's Webster, they had
palm trees, but right on the ocean around the golf here.
It was more than two who dozen firefighters responded as
heavy smoke and flames poured in from the roof.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
But yeah, the.

Speaker 8 (39:06):
Footage at mouth too, By the way, the footage, the
footage is just devastating, just watching the crews spray water
all over and just the buildings had a complete loss,
but so many fun memories there.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Man.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
That's kind of how Jennifer and I really spent a
lot of our early years in our marriage is getting
to know each other. I mean, we were married, but
you know, still trying to figure life out. And we
would sit there and play dominoes and cards and listen
to the jukebox.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
And we got a favorite watering hole and a favorite bartender.
You you go and visit them, and you love them,
know how much you appreciate them, all right? That's how
I Number one of what's on tap Radio coming up

guy should have dressed up for Halloween as a designated driver.
An eighteen year old man in Florida named Jimmy Glover
was pulled over on Halloween after leaving a party. The

(44:48):
cops suspected he was impaired. So they had him do
a field sobriety test and he failed miserably. He was
arrested for a DUI, and so police released a video
of Jimmy's field sobriety test. You know from the chest cam. Well,
guess guess what he was dressed as. He wasn't a

(45:09):
designated driver. It was not a designated driver.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
I was gonna say. You said not. Was he the
designated drunk?

Speaker 2 (45:15):
You could, you could put it that way. He was
an inmate.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
He so, okay, it didn't have to change clothes.

Speaker 4 (45:23):
I was gonna say he was if he was dressed
as the designated drunk?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Did he go?

Speaker 4 (45:27):
As to Charlie Sheen, there were some famous drunks all right.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
In the caption, they said, he decided to get behind
the wheel intoxicated. Celebrate responsibly. That's what we say on
the show, Celebrate responsibly. However, Jimmy Glover of Florida did not.
Then they joked, this is a bad joke. They need
to get better writers.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
Anyone dressed up as a cop should pull a shift
with us, rookie, start at midnight shift at ten pm.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
I'm gonna show what that one was trying to be
funny or what that was their teach of humor.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
It's unclear if.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
Jimmy might crooks will write the jokes.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
It's unclear if Jimmy might face additional punishment for being underage.
Apparently so eighteen yeah, so yeah, yeah, that's right. I
don't know what the drinking age in Florida.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
I mean, is there a drinking age in Florida?

Speaker 6 (46:23):
Probably, and it's probably twenty one.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
All states, All states are twenty one right now.

Speaker 1 (46:29):
Jokes, guys, jokes, I like right now, like they're going
to change it. Well, I mean they could be twenty five?
Should that be the drinking age? Anyways, your hold my
beer and watched this. An eighteen year old man in
Florida named Jimmy Glover was arrested for DUI on Halloween
while in inmate costume.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
And that is your hole my beer and watch this.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
I'm I'm not sure how I you know, I kind
of think that if you're dressed as an inmate, I mean, yeah,
you're gonna draw attention, especially if you're driving and you're
not gonna pass the field sobriety test.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Because we were going a bright orange jumpsuit, right.

Speaker 4 (47:04):
But on Halloween, it's like, yeah, you're gonna you're gonna
stand out. Yeah, I guess all right, all right, I'm
gonna amend my philosophy on this. If you're gonna wear
a costume that stands out, just know this. Every decision
you make is gonna be evaluated by people you know
and people you don't know.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Well, the good news is that when he got to jail,
he didn't have to change because he was already dressed appropriately.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Yeah. Hey, listen, we're giving you free rent, we're giving
you free food, but since you brought your own clothes,
you get a discount. How do I get a discount
on free I don't know.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
All right, that is your home, my beer and watched
this all right, Still a lot to get to this hour,
including we're gonna talk about speaking of jail. Diddy got
himself in some trouble in jail. We'll discuss what he did.
We're gonna talk about a bridge over trouble beer, what
does that mean? And is it a concert or a
backyard barbecue? And how about a beer that gets.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Stuck to the top of your mouth?

Speaker 4 (47:59):
Is that you're interested?

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Also so much more. Once on Tap Radio, Hang with us.
We'll right back.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
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 Tillbeam.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Okay, I finally feel like I'm pretty stretched out now
that for about an hour and some change into the show.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
And you finished that entire bomber.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
No, I didn't, man. I courked it, smart, man.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
I courked it and put it away because I'm gonna
crack a beer hair in a second.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
But before I do that, Chad and Bill cracked the beer.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
Yeah. So we're on our third beer here, but there's
two of us, so we've only.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Had Yeah, I mean respond constibly.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
Yes we are. So we were and we're sharing, you know.
And James, he's by himself there. He's not gonna drink
that whole Imperial twenty two ounce.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
So I debated. I debated about it. I was like, look,
I'm in my own studio.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
I don't have to drive, but then again, I have
to put on a professional radio show and at major market,
so gotta be you gotta be pro.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
And James has a slogan I do is.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I'm a big fan of tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
That's right. And if you go, if you peak today,
you may you may hate tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
The decisions you make today may affect tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Right, Speaking of decisions, so we we had to pick
from the vast selection of beers that we have to
choose from, and uh, Bill, just grab something fresh.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
Yep, and we're going back to Three Floyds Robert the
Bruce Scottish style ale coming at six point. Started off
with Three Floyds Alpha claw, very good, and we're continuing
on with Robert the Bruce.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
Yeah. We squeezed a little fat heads in there. Good stuff. Multi,
it's your typical Scottish yell to me. Yeah, it's a
Scottish style. I don't know what's ABV on this one.
Six Yeah, nice, easy, approachable. I mean for your craft
beer lovers that want something that doesn't have a big
hot profile, and it's not real rich either, So finish

(50:25):
this nice little crisp right.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
So drinking Octo drinking october Fest, Huh.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
It's like a it's a richer version of an october Fest. Yeah,
a little bit sweeter, a little bit more toffee note
to it. Nice beer, all right, real tasty, yeah, James,
So since you corked that pumpkin spice latte, I mean
pumpkin spice style.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Man, I could have drink the whole damn thing. But
like Chad said, I'm a big fan of tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
But I have some Christmas seasonals that are coming very soon,
very soon, and that means that I have some beers
I gotta move and put in the Crisper drawer to
make room for those Christmas seasonals that are coming very soon.
But one that was making its way to the Christoper drawer,
I was like, you know what, I don't want that
one to go to the Christper drawer.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Let me go ahead. I have one more. I have
not brought this beer to the show this year. I
can't believe it. I would and check the notes.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Because everything is very organized. We have a Dewey decimal
system and we you know, we categorize our beers and everything.
We know everything that we brought. And I looked into
my notes and I was like, we have I have
not brought that beer. And I was like, it can
go to the Christper drawer. But you know what, As
I'm watching Chad and Bill start to roll their eyes,

(51:37):
I'm gonna bring in the no label Brewing Company october
Fest because I had not.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
I did not.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
This is no this No, it's pumpkin spice lot Dae season.
We're celebrating Christmas over here with our Christmas beer. You're
celebrating You're still stuck in october Fest. I'm there are
no rules without rules are That's how we started the show.
We'd said that without rules of b anarchy. And look
what's happening. We're opening Christmas beers with october Fest beers.

(52:07):
If somebody opens the summer pills, I swear I'm gonna
flip the switch.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
I almost made it to the Chrisper drawer, but I
was like, no, I can't let this go to the
Chrisper drawer. And then I looked at the those I
think I have not brought this to the table in
twenty twenty five. Of course, I've brought this beer to
the show a dozen times over the twelve years we've.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Been doing the show. But here we go, Yeah, and
this is the last one. This is it, guys, This
is this is it? So I mean, I kind of
talked to you until next year, obviously, but I don't
have any more october Fest beers. This was the last one.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
And this is a fest beer again, this is an
october Fest Light. Remember they pull on her Brewed a
lighter version so people can drink more of them, not
get so full. They can enjoy the Wiener Schnitzel and
pretzels and so so.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Not getting too full. And uh yeah, it's uh right.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
It's Octoberfest and you know it's gonna be good. I
can't taste it, yeah, because you just you just crushed
an imperial pumpkin completely. It's watered my palette here, but
this comes.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
You had six percent alcohol by volume, and I love
I love this beer so much. And I had so
many Marsins in october Fest that I brought to the
show that I didn't bring this one. So I was like,
you know what, let me get the love it deserves
before I completely just start going in with the old
ales and the spruce beers.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
You know, I'm gonna say it right now, James, I'm
gonna say it right now. This is it right here.
The fact that you went from a pumpkin eat or
to that and knowing that your palette's going to be wrecked,
and you left pumpkin spice latte season to go back
to October Fest. I think it's criminal. I think you
should be charged with a hate crime against your your
palette and beer. And I think you know what rumor is,

(53:55):
did he needs a cellmate? So I mean, I mean,
send you in right now. I'm telling you this that
is wrong. What you just did. That is criminal.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Look, man, I wanted to make sure I gave the
beer love and I wasn't anticipating bringing this beer. When
I first brought this beer, I was like, I know,
I was gonna bring another one. I have a couple
other different beers in here, but I was like, you
know what, I have this one that's about to make
it to the christper drawer. I rescued it before because
this beer could have been lost forever next to the
two beers that I have that are from brews that
are not even in business anymore.

Speaker 6 (54:25):
Basically, you're doing your refrigerator a favor.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Thank you, Bill, thank you you get it bill.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
It could have been lost like p Diddy's career.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
But this is from TMZ. So Sean Diddy Combs is
reportedly in hot water again, You're like, hell, he's in prison,
what can he have done? I mean, but this time
he's done it behind bars. TMZ reports the music Mongol
was caught drinking homemade alcohol while serving time at Fort Dix,
which is a low security federal prison in New Jersey.
So it says inmates mixed Fanta sugar and apples to

(54:59):
brew the concoction, which did he was allegedly caught with
prison officials initially planned to move him to a new unit,
but later decided to let him stay where he is.
Apparently he was hitting the sauce and they're like, oh,
you're not going anywhere. The incident comes just weeks after
did he told that judge that he was sober for
the first time in twenty five years, valuing to change

(55:19):
his life after being sentenced to fifty months in prison
for violating.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
The Man Act.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
However, a spokesperson for Diddy dismissed the report, saying those
accusations are completely false, saying that he's focused on adjusting
personal growth and doing better each day. That these accusations
are completely fabricated. So the story comes out that.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
Yeah, he uh drinking a concoction made from Fantas sugar
and apples that they fermented, and he was kind drinking.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
Also known as pruno is that right, Yes it is. Yes,
it's a slang term for prison wine. Any alcoholic beverage
fermented in prison pruna.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
That's gotta taste like just garbage.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Right, plastic bags. I watched one of these documentaries on
basically inside a prison, and what they decided to do
is they said, decided to unlock the cells and see
if they could all learn to get along and in
a society, and the warden would watch make sure nobody
did anything illegal or that would hurt somebody. And sure enough,

(56:29):
they're like, wait, they're not locking the doors. We can
do whatever we want. And within I mean within hours,
like somebody's like, dude, I got a baggy, I got
some bread, I got some fruit, and we're making prison wine.
Because they aren't gonna do anything, we can move around
and oh.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Yeah, how'd that work out for the prison?

Speaker 4 (56:49):
Yeah? Long term, Actually it worked. They decided to test
it in a couple of different prisons. There's I think
the documentary was on Netflix. I can't remember what it was.
I'll try and find it during the brain that way
I can tell you about it. But it was interesting.
We're not gonna lock the doors at night, we'll close
you'll tell you when it's lights out and you go
to bed, We'll tell you when it's time to wake up.
But we're not locking you in. The doors will be

(57:11):
left unlocked and you can walk around the prison.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
You can.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
I mean you're not gonna get outside. It's not like
you can go down on the seven to eleven score
six pack and come back and say, yeah, I just
went out for a quick walk. No, that's not how
that works. You still have to make your pruno if
you want to.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Get did we do a fun we doing a fun
fact on that we have? Okay, Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Little bit different than you know. So like prison wine,
the ingenuity that comes behind that, I mean you have
to get really creative. And I mean when you're sitting
around you have nothing else to do. I mean the
only thing you're thinking about is how to how to
score something you're not supposed to have, or how how
you're gonna get out. That's it.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
That contraband huh.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
It is all right? Yeah, speaking of ingenuity, I'll tell
you what, if we get a chance, we're gonna talk
about what Heineken did, because what Heineken is doing, they're
always innovating.

Speaker 2 (58:01):
Yeah, I like what I like. I like that story.
Also in the news, we got a bridge over trouble beer.
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (58:07):
We'll discuss all this is so much more. Hopefully we'll
get all to it this this episode. If we don't
to be continued, we'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
On average, humans walk nine hundred miles per year, entering
twenty two gallons of beer, which means the average human
gets forty one miles per gallon. Not ben what's on
tap Radio continues.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
Trying age.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
All right, that's us getting in trouble.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Yep, that's okay.

Speaker 4 (58:48):
You can't play last.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Let's take the fun out of things.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Man. Guys, Look, we're not trying to monetize on the song.
I swear, We're just trying to you know, honestly.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
We're just trying to tie music that's gonna segue us
into our stories.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
Make it, just make it relatable, which makes people I
don't know tune in.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Don't give me on my different box, don't give me
on my soapbox, because I could easily just start ranting,
and people.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Don't want to hear that.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
No, No, what grinds my gears. That's my bit, all right?
And Bill's the old guy here. Hey, just a reminder
if you don't know who we are on the first
mic over there hanging out in studios on the West
Side as James Simpson, the beer Guru himself Beer Logics,
Chad Pilgrim right here in West Michigan and sitting across
from me Harbor Light Bill on third mic. Thanks for

(59:39):
tuning in hanging out with us. We got We've got
a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Giving you someone to have a beer with. For over
twelve years, Chad and I.

Speaker 4 (59:47):
Have been Tumpill and I met.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Hanging out on the airwaves because we you know, I
was looking for an idea and like, you know what,
what if I put on a show where we can
give you somebody to have a beer with, because you know,
sometimes you're come home from work and you want to
have a beer, but you're by yourself, and you think
to yourself, man, I don't want to drink by myself
because then I feel like an alcoholic.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
But then you can just put on our show and
then we're having a beer with you. So there you go.
There you go. So I hope you would hang out
with us more often. All right, stick around. We're here
each and every week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
We take weeks off. We don't take months off, but
we take weeks off. And uh yeah, twelve years we've
been doing this. It's a been a backyard barbecue, whatever
you want to call it. We're here to educate you
and entertain you and whatever we can do. But speaking
of entertainment, I never heard of this band called the

(01:00:40):
Arts Fishing Club. We're at an arts fishing club.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Nope, Arts Tavern and Glenn Arbor.

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
Though well, I checked out their page, their YouTube page.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Pretty good music. I'm lucky when I'm hearing. But the
story goes like this, is it a concert or a
backyard barbecue?

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
All right, I'm listening.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Yeah, at a Charleston music festival, Nashville indie band Arts
Fishing Club blurred the lines.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
Cooking hot dogs on stage and tossing them into the crowd.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
Beer.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Yeah, so well, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
We heard what happened last time a music artist threw
a beer into the crowd.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Yeah, now there's a lawsuit. So you throw a hot
dog dressed in full Dad rock attire that means gene shorts,
white sox, and New Balances.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
I just gotta say, if you don't have the New
Balance shoes or jeorts thet oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
The band grilled up the sausages with their tour manager
handling the Coleman grill, and they even looked like a
stage instrument. Though the Coleman grill looked like a stage instrument.
Videos of the spectacle has gone viral, racking up more
than two point five million views on social media. Frontman
Christopher Kissinich said it was all for fun. We're a

(01:01:59):
band that likes to have fun, so they decided to
be Dad's. Crowd members love the impromptu snack tossed, including
one lucky priest who caught the hot dog in mid air.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Oh that's kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
Wait wait, with the help from the good lord. Oh yeah,
said it was a priest.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Yeah, hey, priests like to get down.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
Yeah, alright, alright, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
So it's not the first time Charleston fans have been
served from the stage. Pass acts launched cheese, steaks, pancakes,
and even burgers, but arts, fishing clubs, sizzling flying hot
dogs definitely left their mark.

Speaker 4 (01:02:35):
Well, no, it's the throwing the beer that leaves the mark,
that hits you in the head, that's the one that
leaves the mark.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
But yeah, you can't throw the beer man you want to, like, yeah,
who wants this mettle light? And then what happens is
you toss it to the guy who's like gonna catch it,
but he doesn't catch it, and it bounces off his
hand and then goes flying and it hits the person
behind him in the eye.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
And next thing you know, there's a lawsuit. So you
can't toss the beers anymore. So hot dogs are a
safe bet.

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):
True story. When I lived in Houston, I was in
a swimming pool and I asked my wife, said, hey,
you throw me a beer. And she just throw it
and I said, yeah, throw it, and she winds back
like Joe Montana. I mean, she's got this arm. She's
ready to throw a forty yard pass. And I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa. I said, just toss it underhand, just kind

(01:03:21):
of lob it. I said, what do you, I said,
you're gonna hurt me, no joke. She tosses it underhand.
I'm in the pool. I take my hand out of
the water. You know, it's all wet. I reach up
to grab it. It slips right through my hands and
it changes direction. The lip of the of the can.
The edge of that can caught me right in the forehead,

(01:03:42):
busted my head wide open. I'm bleeding in the pool.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
That's why you can't toss the beers. It's because I.

Speaker 4 (01:03:47):
Can't throw a beer, even when you're trying to do
it safely.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
If the person who's trying to catch it does not
catch it, chances are someone's gonna get hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
Because we've seen it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
And now this country music artist we talked about it
last week is now facing a lawsuit. Because I haven't
seen the video, but that's what I'm guessing. He was like, hey,
who wants a beer?

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
And guy's like me many and says all right, man,
he tosses it to him.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
The guy couldn't catch it, he's got butterfingers and hits
this poor lady in the back and now she's suing.

Speaker 5 (01:04:14):
So that all looks good on paper, you know, in
the pre pre concert meeting, But ye.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Why not Joe hot Dog so a concert or a
barbecue man cooks up the hot dogs on stage and
flings him at the Charleston Music First crowd like that, like.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
For you we need we need more hot dogs thrown
at people.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
A whole bunch of wieners at people, that's right, get hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
You gotta like wrap it in tinfoil because if you
throw the bun and the hot dog wiener in there,
chance there is gonna separate, right, So I can imagine
you probably got to like put it in the tinfoil,
wrap in the tinfoil, and then toss it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
Right, but throwing a ketchup and mustard pack too when
you wrap it up, Yeah, that'd be kind of don't yeah,
because nobody wants to just playing hot too.

Speaker 1 (01:04:58):
Dry, you don't, Yeah, exactly, there's people dipping their hot
dog and their beer.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Yeah. Follow us for more culinary advice. All right, speaking
of eating, this is pretty amazing here. I I stumbled
onto this story. And this is just down the road
from Old Bill and I we uh in Lansing, Michigan.
There is a bridge there and is the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge,

(01:05:23):
and uh, they affectionately referred to it as Big Penny.
And Big Penny is a landmark. I mean, this is
this is a it's a tourist attraction. And you're like, well,
what's so special about this bridge?

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
So special about this bridge?

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
Right? Exactly? Like was the original state constitution written on it.
There was a was a war between the you know,
French and the French and Indian War.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Was it like the first bridge ever built Michigan?

Speaker 4 (01:05:47):
Maybe right? Yeap, Nope, nope. This particular landmark just so
happens to eat trucks for a living. And I'm I
am not making this up, ladies and gentlemen. The Big
Penny Bridge has its own Facebook page, its own Wikipedia.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Page that has twelve feet six inches.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
Yeah, it's actually twelve feet exactly, not twelve foot one,
not twelve foot two, but twelve foot exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Wait what I was just trying to be funny. Is
it really just twelve foot I was just being funny.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
It is twelve foot exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Ladies, gentlemen. I don't know this story. I don't. I
just said just to be funny and no, okay, wow.

Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Yeah it is only fire for me. Yep. So, so
since two thousand and four, the bridge has eaten because
these trucks drive through think they're going to clear it,
and and it looks like and it looks like the
bridge is a mouth in these and it's just eating.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
These the roof off of the trucks.

Speaker 4 (01:06:53):
Right, But since two thousand and four, it has eaten
one hundred and three trucks, and they even had a
party they were waiting. It's like when number one hundred
hits were throwing a big bash, and they threw a
bash a party on the freaking bridge to celebrate the
hundredth truck being eaten on it. It's been it's been

(01:07:15):
so common that they have now put big giant googly
eyes and fangs on it with teeth, like like big
sharp teeth, And so when you're driving to the bridge,
you can see it. And so if you're a truck
driver and you see clearance twelve feet and then you
see the googly eyes and the jaws, and you heard

(01:07:36):
the stories and you're like, ah, yeah, yeah, she'll make it,
she'll go, She'll she'll clear the bridge. Nope. There's even
a truck counter on the side of the bridge right
there at the base, so when you're driving up to it,
you can see how many trucks have been eaten. But
we share all this because it's eaten all kinds of trucks,

(01:07:56):
including Saya trucks, which is what's gonna kill Jane. That's
gonna be on yeah, ye James had nightmares. He's gonna
die on the college.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
I dreamed that Siah truck took me out.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
Yep. Well the last truck that it took it out
or that was taken out was a bud Light truck.
And everybody's like, well, Penny was thirsty from eating all
those other ones. And the comments on social media real
men of genius. The bud Light says, truck says only
twelve feet that's too low, but you say, no, we

(01:08:29):
can make it go real men of genius. Yeah, I
like that. It's so good. Yeah, this is another interesting
was Dylan mulvaney driving That's what they said. Oh look
the trailer crumples just like a beer can does. They
were recycling. This just comments on Penny the Penny the

(01:08:52):
truck eating bridge and the last one it got was
a bud Light truck. So if you want to see
you can go google it and check it out. It's
pretty funny, good stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
What's interesting is they have PVC pipes that hang before
you get to the bridge, so if you hit the
PVC pipes, you know that you're going to hit the bridge.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
And they still hit the bridge.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
Yeah, hey, good news. This guy says. He says, maybe
they were filming a Super Bowl commercial and we'll get
to see how it ends. All right, So Penny, come
up to the last segment.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):

gets stuck to the top of your mouth. If you'll
be interested in that and all so much more, hang
with us, will be right back.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):

beer is salad. Yeah, what's on tapradio and Chad.

at clouds.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
I mean maybe I have a house in Maine, And
there was somebody advertising and and well we're gonna talk
about that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
In the second, my kids are playing football across the street.
In that football lands in Chad's yard and Chad sprays

Adams thirty years ago. I just made up for thirty years.
But actually I have a Sam Adams honey Porter pint glass.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):

Okay, teach their own.

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):

before we get out of here, in a couple of
stories to get to including a beard that sticks to

(01:12:09):
the top of your mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Is that something you would be down for? Most people
are like hell no, hell no. Well Martin House is
at it again.

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
There we go. Of course, they are go to Old.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Martin House out of Fort Or of Texas from their
Facebook page. This one is for the peanut butter fans.
A lot of y'all been asking for a peanut butter
pretzel stout and statement of Purpose.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
If you like those, you'll love.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
These two adaptations, Extra Creamy that's an eight percent blonde,
and Extra Crunchy, which is an eight percent stout. They
said that we upped the ABV from our previous peb
beers and adjusted the grain bills on both.

Speaker 2 (01:12:53):
We now have a maximum peanut butter mixed four pack.
Each four pack comes with two cans of each Extra
Creamy in Extra Crunchy, and it'll begin on distro soon
and available in the tap room. And they're having a
peanut butter festival coming up later at the end of
the month.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
So if you're really in a peanut butter, Martin House
has got your fix with two adaptations, the Extra Creamy
and eight percent blonde and the Extra Crunchry and eight
percent stoubts.

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
We already did hold my beer and watch this. I
thought we only did one segment about bad decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
Okay, well, okay, so this is a niche thing, right,
So there's gonna be people. There's gonna be people out
there that are, oh, I have to try this, But
now I'm gonna say something that's gonna be very unpopular,
and people are probably gonna reach out to me and say, James,
you are out of your mind. You are full of crap.
But I feel like this kind of turns people away
from craft beer. I really do when they hear stuff
like this, It's like, dude, why can't we.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Just drink beer? Why can't beer just be beer?

Speaker 4 (01:13:48):
I've said this before. Martin House has one of the
most genius marketing campaigns. No, they really do.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
And every time you go to the tap room they're
always packed.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
Right and money, dude, sales cure all evils and and
forgive all sins. I so, if I were an investor, or,
i were the owner, I'd be like, keep doing this.
I'm not your I'm not your customer. I'm not going
to drink this beer. But I love it because it
makes money and they're successful and they keep doing it.
But you're you're right this there was a time when

(01:14:18):
this type of beer would have really tried. I mean,
it would have captured the attention of everyone and drawn everybody,
and they're like, craft beer is so cool? What else
are they doing? And now you know, people there may
be a little bit of fatigue and they're like, all right, look,
maybe this is why I still drink dumb down pilsner beer.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
Yeah, just give me that water down pilsner that I've
been drinking since I was in college, or my grandfather
needs to drink.

Speaker 2 (01:14:42):
Because when is enough enough?

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:14:45):
They can should probably make a like a raspberry wheat
mix somebody together and you have a peanut butter and jelly.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
I'm sure that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
But hey, somebody's on the.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
I love Martin House. I'm not backpedaling. I partied with
those guys before. I've hung out in their tap rooms
so many times. But from that I got ju.

Speaker 2 (01:15:03):
Beer, to the chicken wing beer, to the Duncan ruse beer,
to the what the squidting beer, the squidding beer pizza
beer that we've had on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
I mean, yeah, So there you go, peanut butter lovers,
get yourself some extra crunchy and extra creamy from Martin
Stuff Company.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
Some of that stuff is just obnoxious and it's ridiculous,
But not as obnoxious and ridiculous as what's going on
in Maine. Oh yeah, I'm talking about Oh yeah, way
up there, Fire Marshall, Matt's old neck of the woods,
his old stomping grounds up there. You know, population like
ten thousand or something like that. I don't know, but
Maine is a very small it's not a very densely

(01:15:44):
popular populated state. But a main resident is fuming mad,
Oh yeah, this is your get off, your get off
my long guy, after a Dogfish head beer ad flew
over his home, quite literally flew over his home, and
he's looking up at the sky. He's probably sitting out
there enjoying a you know, aligash white, just looking out there,

(01:16:10):
looking up at the sky, and he's like, man, this
is a really nice day. Hey wa wa, what what what?
What's that plane doing up there? Dogfish had what is that? Well,
this giant airplane with the banner promoting the brand sparked
all kinds of our rage online because people.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Were why what was so wrong with that? I don't
see anything.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
We're like, hey, this is Maine. We don't do that here.
You know why, because Maine banned billboards back in nineteen
seventy seven.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Yeah, they call that sky pollution.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
They do. Now, this is the thing. This is not
a billboard, it's not It's just a banner from behind
a plane. But a lot of the residents said no, no, no, no, no,
these guys they circumvented the spirit of the law because
we don't want to see that here in Maine. We
we haven't seen that since nineteen seventy six. Since seventy seven,

(01:17:05):
it's been banned in The homeowner posted a photo on Reddit.
Of course he did put it on the Wild West
out there of online bashing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Please in the making.

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
I think I'm gonna have to do some research for
next week. That sounds like a great idea. The beer
company is saying they're polluting our air with advertising trash,
and other users agreed, calling out the stunt not cool,
not cool, man, and possibly illegal. I like that, that's
not cool. That's that's probably illegal, right, yeah, and maybe illegal.
Oh yeah, yeah, it probably is. All right. But other

(01:17:40):
people say that this intrusive advertising from sky banners and drones,
it it can take a toll on you. Now, this
is what I like. Experts say, Yeah, this is what
they're quoting. Experts say that it'll take a toll on
your mental health and drive over consumption, which contributes to
pollution and waste. And as one comment or put it,

(01:18:01):
I don't drink their beer. Han That giant sign flying
behind their plane isn't going to change my mind. Oh,
get up, man, shake cloud. I just can't get I mean,
I get it all right, you don't want any billboards.

(01:18:26):
I like.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
I like dogfish Head. And the fact that like, hey,
you said no billboards. You didn't say anything about this.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know that that was a
smart move though, because you are going to drive a
lot of people away from your brand.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
You know, we're talking about it. We're talking about it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:40):
We are talking Yeah, didn't you know? Don't? Yeah? All
press is good press, right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
The dogfish Head says that you know it will double down. Right, Well,
you said no billboards. I didn't say anything about this.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
So here we are.

Speaker 4 (01:18:52):
Watching it. Next week, there's gonna be a plane flying
overhead in the banner. It's going to be just like
a whole carrier fleet of of just planes flying over
with one initial or one letter spelling out dogfish Head.
I'll just dogs. It's those dogfish guys again. All right,

(01:19:12):
speaking of doing it again, we're gonna come back next
week and do it again too. We continue if we
can get to your favorite story. But before we get
out of here, James, thank all the wonderful sponsors and
