Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy the show. This is about to be good radio.
Oh yeah. To me, a craft brewer is much more
of a mindset. We just opened two cans.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Spread the gospel of good beer.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Beer.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Tons and tons of stuff going on in the beer world.

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

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I love different people's beers. It's the first favorite.

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

Speaker 2 (00:46):
What's on Tap? High five? Who?

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

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I guess it's time. I guess it's time that flip formats.
Welcome to What's on Tab Radio.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
The holiday You're gonna have taps music ready to go.
And I think, yeah, this is sad.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know, we did have a casualty here at studio.
Ass what I'm about to talk about. But no, we're
flipping formats because hey, Thanksgivings past, and now it's time
to uh break out the stockings and the get the
Christmas tree out. I guess people already have the Christmas
tree outs since the day after Halloween.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
But hey, welcome to What's on TAB Radio. I am
Bergu James Simpson, joined by harblite Bill and uh Bar
logic mistress himself. Mister Chad, I break the rules pill beings.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Why did you glad you remember my name? Bill gets
introduced up into ID.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Chad is gun rogue. He's just anarchy. He's like, you
know what we've been eleven years in. Who gives a
damn about rules?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Rules? Smooths James?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
What do I see him doing in their pre production meeting?
Just having them self a nice cold one?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yep, So let me go. And I know and I
corrupted Bill on that too. So we have rules on
the show. If you're new and you're listening in, or
maybe you just forgot the rules or you don't care
about the rules, I'll remind you what they are. First
of all, make sure that your trade tables and your
seatbacks are in their full upright position before we take off.
And then after that you do whatever the hell you want.
But nobody cracks open a beer before the mics are hot.

(02:31):
Now that's a James Simpson rule. I like to have
a pre show beer probably about fifty percent of the
time most and I'd say ninety nine percent of the time.
James doesn't know I do that. If he doesn't see it,
he doesn't say anything. Well, sure enough, we got the
cameras rolling everything. He's like, what is that? He's like,
damn it, breaking the rules. Also another rule, make sure
your cell phones are turned off and comply with the FCC.

(02:55):
And uh yeah. Also, if we bring the same beer
to the tabre in the opening segment, well that's the
final show. That's it.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
It could be it's the week, this could be the week.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
But uh yeah, I guess Chad and Bill have like
four practice beers before they had the real one.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
No, we did not. We're sharing stunt beer Liver Bill
Harbor Light Bill hanging out on third mic. We may
have another stunt beer Liver showing up here, so we
may be able to crack into a few more beers,
but before we do, we need to thank all of
our wonderful advertisers, our sponsors, who make it possible for
us to not have to go beg for beer, but
we can buy it up with our own money. And
these wonderful sponsors.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Are blowing up dust off it Tantric Brewing, Superior Past Control,
being a logic conference, the devents we know today, an
insurance group, the Backyard Grill, keeping the light's nice and
bright here at studios thanks to Harbor Light Brewing, and
of course sponsoring our podcast cast Ranning. I to blow
the dust off because we took a week off last week.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
We took a week off to get some R and
R celebrate Thanksgiving. But we're back.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
We're back, rested up and ready to fire up a
good show. And this has brought the table thanks to
our friends over at the Backyard Grill.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
And I'm wanna kick things off this week because I
want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
A little bit of a casualty I had, so I
was a little bit of a rush. I had some
things going on before the show, and I went to
go grab the Samuel Adams Boston logger glass.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Oh no, it kind of fell out of my hand
and chipped.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
No, it didn't kind of fall It fell out of
your hand and it did.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Shit, it chipped it. But I think I I mean,
I tend to cook.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Could still drink out of it if I could just
drink out of one side of the glass, but I
don't want to risk it.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I didn't want to risk it, so I'm not going
to drink out of that glass.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
And yeah, we don't have workmen's comp I can see
James now cutting his lip. He's like, I got I
got off of the first Mike Chad care of the
show to the finish line.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, uh, but I got another vessel want to bring in.
But let me introduce it being to bring into the table.
We're in pumpkin season, punkin.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Spice season, and uh, this is a you know, when
you host Thanksgiving and people come over, you never know
what you're gonna find in your fridge left over after
people leave. And this is one of the beers I found,
the Samuel Adams JACKO.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's a pumpkin ale. It's a pumpkin ale the Boston
Beer Company, and it's probably Now I'm gonna go ahead
and say this right now, there's no way, no way
that whoever left that there had a six pack of
it guarantee that was a variety pack, because nobody's buying
a six pack of Jacko, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I know it's a riety pack. Look, there's a proof
of purchase thing that was torn off on the label.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
There.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
You can see there's a a tag there that was
ripped off.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
But all right, anyways, probably came off a single shelf.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I'm gonna go and pour this into my uh.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh water glass. Look at that. That's sexy.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Now wait a minute, it's like a podcast water glass.
What's on tap radio?

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hold on a second.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
So I'm gonna go and pour to this jack O.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Where did you get that glass?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Never mind that, let's talk about the beer.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
No, stop just skipping over my beer. All right, this
is the Jacko from sam Lambs Boston. Uh well, Sammuel
Adams four point four percent alcohol by volume.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, the romans really come out of this glass, all right.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
He's got some some vessel contraband.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Wow, oh that is oh well, that is pumpkin spice
and a glass. Holy snikes, that might be a little
a little rich for my taste. That's what I'm bringing
the table, the Jacko from Samuel Adams Pumpkin ale at
four point four percent out club at volume, and I'm gonna
let that breathe and allow Chad and Bill to introduce
their beers.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
To bring it to the table thanks to our friends
over at the backyard grill.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
All right, well, you said it's pumpkin spice season, but
you know what other season it is. It's football season, folks.
And well for all you fair weather fans out there
who were with the Detroit Lions for the last oh,
I don't know, two seasons, because every season before that,
all the way back to nineteen fifty eight, they've been terrible. Yeah,

(06:46):
you bandwagon fans, this is a beer for you. This
is the Detroit Fan Zone IPA. And why am I
calling it a bandwagon beer, Well because it was brouden
packaged in Little Valley, New York. This is a contract

pur a little bit well.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
And ched since we did have kind of a pre
preview beer. That beer's a little dirty. So what I'm
gonna probably mother son of a U my new Uh,
it's kind of like a podcast beer glass. So since
James down there has got what I figured, I might
as well.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Pick one up the other. Okay, guys, ladies, jes is
the radio show and I got screwed. Okay, listen carefully.
James starts off the show introducing himself and then Bill
I get left behind, and now they're both drinking on
a brand new What's on Tap radio glasses. We're gonna
come back and revisit this in the next segment. But
this has been brought to the table, brought to you
by our friends at the backyard Girl, and they are friends.
They wouldn't do me dirty like these two just did.

(07:54):
And brought to the table. James has the Jacko pumpkin

left in his fridge, and Bill and I are drinking
a fan of Fairweather fan Zone favorite Detroit fan Zone
IPA coming up? What's on tap this week? James tell
them what's coming up?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Well, we have the flying saucer causing confusion. What's the
difference between McDonald's in America and Europe.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
All this is so much more, including we may have
a ripple Reddit. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (08:23):

Speaker 1 (11:19):
They're my mentors, growing my growing days radio. Yeah, let's
talk about this jack O. It's really opened up and
it's got cinnamon nut mag a roma.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
So take a swig. Mmm. Yeah, it tastes like a
coke like soda.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yikes.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah, it tastes like a soda, like a flat soda.
I'm not really digging it when I'm thinking, when I'm
so spoiled when it comes to pumpkin beers, because I've
been drinking the heck out of some pumpkin eator from
Saint Arnold, which is an Imperial pumpkin ale, and then
I come to this and it just really is like,
I don't know, man, really thin, not malty whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
But yeah, just freshly baked pumpkin pie in a coke.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's what it tastes like to me. I'll finish it,
but I don't know if all.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh good for you, man, good for you, you're a trooper. Meanwhile,
we're back here with the fair Weather fan Zone. Oh sorry,
just fan Zone Detroit Fanzone IPA from Ella Cottville Brewing
Company in Ellicottville, New York. And so yes, am I
having fun at the expense of this. It's like, wait
a minute, so Detroit fan Zone and they didn't even

(12:30):
get a Michigan brewery, let alone a Detroit brewery to
make this. No, no, says Detroit Pride. On there, it's
got all the lion paraphernalia five percent abv IPA and
it comes from Little Valley, New York. And I jumped
onto the untapped app to see what it said about

(12:50):
this particularly. No, you're good. You don't have to pour
me anymore. Trust me, the Yard's gonna get this. And
I'm sharing this beer with the yard, it says on
the Here a bright era American IPA with notes of apricot,
lemon rine, and hardy hops, brewed to be the perfect
companion at your next tailgate, football party or sports bar,

(13:11):
packaged in cans that celebrate the unique game day experience
in Detroit, Michigan. Okay, because you can taste the artwork. Well,
there's a lot of artwork going on. Yeah, can. I'm
keeping the can just so I can remember how much
I did not like this beer. And I'm not trying
to be mean, but I do not smell notes of
apricot or lemon rine. But I do get green pepper

(13:32):
and fertilizer, and it is not. This is not a
very I get garden hose, fertilizer in green pepper.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
More of a hazy I mean aromas and stuff not
I pa.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
I feel like I bit into a bell pepper and
I just nothing.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I feel like I'm drinking a flat coke over here.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, I can see that this is not this is
not a beer. I'm going to enjoy h and I'm
probably not gonna drink anymore. But good for you Ella
Cootteville Brewing Company. I'm sure you make other great beers
that capture the unique experience of other traditions. I'm sad
that a Detroit brewery did not make this. It was

(14:18):
on the shelf. I had a chance to buy a
single can, so I did it, and that is two
dollars and fifty cents I'll never get back.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
But let's give a can. We give about five dollars
worth of knowledge here yep, now.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
The official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the week,
brought to you by who's ever checked clear this week?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It can't be five dollars worth of knowledge. This is priceless,
all right, take it away.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
I don't know about that. All right? On this show.
If you're a fan and you've been listening to these
fun facts to try and pick up knowledge so that
everywhere you go you can appear just a little bit smarter,
I'm sorry we've disappointed you for the.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Last lesson telling my mom you're a big disappointment.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, I know, I know. Uh. We try to do
our best, and one of the things that we've covered
Over the years, as beer styles have evolved in as
a drinking tastes have evolved, and new styles emerged. All
these things have happened, new terms have come up, and
some of the terms we like to cover the in

(15:24):
the vocabulary, like crispy boy. That's a that's a really
popular one right now, I do too, because they spell
boy b o. I right, it's just a little too
It's a little too Kardashian for me. I'm just not
I'm not into that that hip scenes. Just you know,
tell me it's bright, tell me it's crisp, tell me

(15:46):
it's refreshing, tell me it's effervescent. You know, let me
know what I'm gonna get out of that. Uh. We've
talked about the haze and we we even saw a
change in the term gloopy glop and and everybody's like,
what's gloopy glott? Well, first everybody, it was a term
of endearment. Then it was a term of hate. Now
everybody just kind of forgot about it. Nobody talks about

(16:06):
it anymore, but we hear what's on tap radio. We
want you to be up on all of the current
terms and the key terms and knowing what it is.
And unfortunately, I'm going to share this term with you,
but you're not gonna need to know it very long
because this particular term is associated with non alcoholic beers.

(16:26):
And as I've already said, non alcoholic beers are a
fad and they're gonna go away next week, so you
won't see non alcoholic beers on the shelf in.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
James Simpson completely disagree with that, but okay, all.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Right, it's gonna take a little longer than that. I'm
predicting that the next big bubble to burst is going
to be non alcoholic beers. People are going to go
back to drinking beer with alcohol in it. But I
was reading up on the different UK pubs, and UK
pubs are starting to make non alcoholic beer a regular offering,

(17:00):
and the Green King pub in the United Kingdom has
gone so far as to offer promotion where they are
giving away free beer when you come in and order
a beer, and I thought, oh, two for one, sign
me up. I want on this program. I want to
go to the Green King. I don't know how they
make any money. You go in, you order a beer,

(17:21):
you get another beer for free, woo woo. Except it's
not exactly what you think. You go in and you
order a beer, and you get your next beer a
non alcoholic beer. See, they want you to mix in
non alcoholic beer into your regular beer drinking session. And

(17:43):
you may be thinking, what does this have to do
with new terms and beer terms and drinking at the pub. Well,
when you go into the pub and you want to
participate in this type of activity, you let your bartender
know that you are zebra striping. Your official What's on
Tap Radio fun fact of the week is that the
term zebra striping is going to a bar and ordering

(18:07):
an alcoholic beer, and then a non alcoholic beer, and
then an alcoholic beer, and then a non alcoholic beer,
and throughout your session you are known as a zebra striper.
It's a brand new term for me. I was used
liberally throughout social media as I did research on this topic.
Everybody seems to know what it is. But you don't

(18:27):
want to walk into a bar and order an alcoholic
beer and then say, you know what, I think I'm
gonna back off on the ABV. I'm gonna go to
a non alcoholic beer and have the bartender say, ah,
so you're zebra striping and you go, huh no, no no.
Because you listen to this fine program, you will now
look so much more intelligent. And of course you're already

(18:49):
better looking than the average beer drinker because you listen
to the show and you can say, why, yes, I
am zebra striping, have me oduleS And that is your
official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the week.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
We put that on a T shirt like that, Yeah,
zebra strike. I never heard that one before. See look
at it.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Look at us learning stuff like that, Chad, thanks for
teaching us something new. Speaking of new, we got a
lot of stuff on tap with this week Flying Saucer.
We're gonna talk about some confusion at the Flying Saucer
and getting married. Maybe this is about your fifth time
getting married. We got their perfect ideal event plays for you.
And then so we got I heard we gotta rip
from Reddit and you're doing some traveling this year, stopping

(19:26):
at some gas stations along the way. We're gonna talk
about the most popular gas stations. Also so much more,
including more beers. This What's on Tap redo, Hang with us,
We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Beer.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's why we wake up every afternoon. Wakey, wakey, What's
on task.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
What's on tap?

Speaker 4 (19:42):
This is what's on tap radio, Goodnight.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
That Santa comes around the world, the Reindy Brain and
jord a lot of kids won't please him. Milk and chocolate. Yep,
it's Christmas time.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
I like how you say, hey, listen, all right, it's
when all the radio formats flip the switch and they
go to the Christmas format. And we're a beer radio show.
But if we don't play Christmas music, we're not gonna
get the We're not gonna get the ratings. So we
have this we had. If you can't beat them, you
got to join them.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Exactly right.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
You know I people are listening to podcasts, they're listening
to show live whatever you are listening, and you're like,
you know what, I got the wife in the car.
I got my spouse in the car who they're gripping
at me.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Because it's it's the holidays. We've got to listen to
Christmas music. Look, we're sprinkling some Christmas music for you.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
All right, Speaking of podcasts, I'm gonna plug the podcast anywhere.
Podcasts are found things to our friends over at cast branding.
Every major podcast platform says they're right there on the
back of my my new What's on Tapwado Glass It's
like a podcast, that's our motto.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
But anyway, we have a lot of great content on
our podcast. We just had Greg Hall on the show
not too long ago, and we have all this extra
bonus audio that was not heard on the air that
we talked a little bit about. I mean, we talked
about apple trees and a little.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Bit behind the scenes of Goose Island and Virtue Cider.
Really just a guy, just a wealth of knowledge, and
there's other great interviews that we've done over the years
that is there for you to listen to for free
and any podcast platform. And what I recommend is going
to a podcast platform that you like, whether it's iTunes, Pandora, Ihearts, Spotify, Apple,

(21:39):
whatever it is, just subscribe and then whenever the show's
are uploaded, boom, go straight to your device, or you
can just go back and go oh, let me go
back and check this interview out because I haven't heard this.
And there's a lot of great stuff. Even if you're
not a big beer drinker, there's a lot of great
interviews and stuff that we talk a lot about. Other
stuff than just know the nitt and gritty of the
beer because.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
A lot of people think they just think, oh, well,
thing you're talking about is its just beer? No, no, no, no no.
We're basically having conversations over a beer, and the conversations
go everywhere.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Wait till you find out about the we do have
a rip from Reddit and wait, do you see the
direction we go with rip from Reddit. You'd be a
little surprised. That's coming up later in the show. And
the other thing about so I want to say about
subscribing to our podcast. Everybody loves getting mail. Everybody does
when you go to the mailbox, like, oh, unless it's
a bill. But when the Amazon truck goes by and

(22:30):
there's a box dropped in front of your house or
your apartment and you're like, ooh, yeah, I forgot I
ordered that. A lot that A lot of that's like
subscribing to What's on Tap Radio podcast because oh it's Monday,
brand new episode. Whoo there it is. It just shows
up delivered on time. Fresh beer for your ear. Speaking
of fresh beer, we took that Fairweather Fan beer and

(22:54):
poor that I shared that with the yard Bill did
a good job of disposing that. But uh, in the
holiday spirit, I saw this beer, picked up a six
pack of it, and I could not say no. I'm
kind of excited about this one. Here, this one here
from odd Side Ales, Grand Haven, Michigan. All the good
kids on the good list, the nice list, they get

(23:15):
to see Santa, and if you're on the naughty list,
you get Crampus. And this is Crumpus Bach German style
bach Lagger, a seven point two percent box style beer.
It has got a beautiful mahogany color, off white, it's
almost tan head. And and that is German bock beer.

(23:37):
If there was ever German bock beer. Wow, multi that's
uh yeah, dry dry, finish, Yeah, noble hops subtle right
good good subtle hop aroma. It's not too sweet. Great
job odd Sides Crumpus Bach, the German style back beer.
That's what we've got.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Nice And I'm still choking down this Jack Pumpkin Ale
from I am totally I am choking it down.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
It is rough, but I'm you know what, I'm a trooper.
I am going to be persistent and I'm going to
finish this.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
But uh to being a podcast.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
You know, people are hitting the roadways this year, going
out to visiting family and one of the things I
like to do, and this is something that I know
other folks do. But when we're driving, everybody's got their
earbuds in.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
My wife's listening to our true crime podcast, my kids
are listening to god knows what they're listening to.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
And then what I do is I'll throw a little
ear pard James.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, daughters listening to Taylor Swift, and my son's probably
listening to some you know, video game podcast. But h
I throw a little earbud in and I'm listening to podcasts.
So what you can do is, while you're you know,
driving across the country and throwing earbud in, make sure
you have one year so you can listen to sirens
and so forth.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
But uh yeah, check out the podcast or maybe you
can play it on the on the on the speakers.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I just know that it's a little hard for me
to hear with the come on ocean going on in
the car. There's usually yelling and stuff going on. But
ILL to pop a little at your buddy, and I'm
listening to other podcasts. But one of the things is,
you know, you got to stop and get some gas
every now and then. And I know that you probably
get this ass all the time. But do you have
a favorite gas station?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Chad?

Speaker 3 (25:14):
I mean, oh yeah, everybody. I'm out all the time
at bars, I sit down and order a pint, Like,
what's your favorite gas station? I'm like, well, come on, dude,
everybody knows. If you're in Texas, it's got to be BUCkies.
But anywhere else in the Midwest, I mean, but Bakis
is awesome.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
But believe it or not, people do have their favorite
gas stations. They go with a particular brand. So growing up,
my dad worked for Texico and it's the only gas
station we were allowed to shop is Texico. Yeah, we
couldn't go anywhere else. But some people just go for
whatever it's the cheapest. But a company asked twenty five
hundred Americans who talk about their favorite gas station chains,
and they mapped it the top choices of each state

(25:51):
and here's where they found.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
In the South.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Chad, take a guess, it's gotta be BUCkies. It is.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
BUCkies dominates a gas station game, essentially doubling as a
shot mall.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
If you're going to BUCkies, I'm just gonna say this
right now. If you know you're coming up on a BUCkies,
take a laxative about forty minutes before you get there,
because you're gonna want to use the restrooms. It's a
it's a religious experience too.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
They double up as shopping malls. I mean, it's more
than just a gas station. AMPM and Quick Trip are
also ranked pretty high.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah Trip's a good one. Yep.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
In the Northeast, many people are looking for sandwiches, and
they can find hogis and breakfast sandwiches that take.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Guests in Northeast.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
In the Northeast, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Oh yeah wa on Pennsylvania, Yeah, yea yea yeah yes.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Cumberland Farms is the favorite in several states up there
as well and down in Louisiana and Mississippi and West
Virginia loves Sheets, which also is a high marks for food,
and the Midwest people on a for emphasis of pizza.
Take a guess.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Oh dude, eude, come on, Joe, gotta gotta love.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Casey's Mancy's man.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Chief Beer and Pizza Officer. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Acy's General Store is a hit as a generous awards
program and which Speedway does as well. Also constant people
they like local dairy products, they can find them at
Quick Trip.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah. Quick Trip's a good one. I'm a fan of
Quick Trip.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
And in the West, the two most popular are circle
K for its snacks, hot food, availability and accessibility, and
then there's also Maverick, which carries gear for hiking and
camping and other outdoor essentials.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Don't forget though, Without circle K, Bill and Ted may
not have ever made it back from their excellent adventure
because that's where, you know, the phone booth was at
the circle.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
K Facts and they only asked about gas station chains
with convenience stores, so smaller local chains and bigger places
like Costco weren't included.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
No, No, I don't know anybody who says, man, I
went to Costco and got gas today, it was such
a great experience. They'll tell you how cheap the gas was,
but they don't use the bathrooms. They don't look at
the beer selection. And that's the other thing I want
to say about BUCkies and Costco and quick Time uh
or not Costco, sorry, Casey's BUCkies and quick Time. The

(28:17):
beer selection in those places probably has something to do
with the fact that I love them. Bathrooms are always
clean and very spacious. Beer selection is amazing.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
You know, it's my favorite gas station and in Centerville,
Texas Woodies, which is the beef capital, the beef jerky
capital of the world.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I've been there, although does not sell beer.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
That they have beef jerky.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
They do have and they best be jerky. They don't.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
They have two locations. They they're two exits apart.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Oh no, they're on the same exit. They have one
on the north side and one on the on the
south side. But on the one on the north side
going towards Dallas from Houston, that's the one that makes
the jerky. But the other one, uh, you know obviously, yeah,
but yeah, that's my favorite. But all though they don't
sell beer. But anyways, no people go with a particular brand.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I know that they are diehards, like I only go
to Chevron or only go to you know, quick Trip
whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
But you know, what says you And what is it
about a gas station that you like?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Is it the clean bathrooms that maybe the hot dogs
on the roller or maybe it are in Canada and
you could see somebody.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Ever goes for a roller, dude, one of those hot
dogs has been sitting there for three weeks, no way.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
But in Canada we talked about how you can grab
yourself a hot dog off the roller and grab yourself
a beer and sit down and enjoy yourself.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, seven eleven, you can do that.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, seven eleven.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Uh yeah, they have gas stations at seven eleven too.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
So anyways, talking about the holidays, you're traveling and you're
stopping at a particular gas station, what's you one is
your favorite?

Speaker 2 (29:46):
And don't forget while you're traveling to download the What's
on Tap radio podcast, and so make sure you can listen,
keep up to date so you can always stay in uh,
up to date with what we got going on. But
speaking of what's going on, let's get a little tea
of What's on Tap Chad Miller Lite, Miller Lite.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Hold on a second, I just say this right now, dude,
all right, there are three things that are certain in life,
death taxes, and another product from Miller Lite that you
will not be able to get at Christmas.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
And we got a press release right here in our
inbox which we will tell you a new Miller Life
product that you will not be able to get your
hands on. Also, speaking of traveling, maybe you're traveling abroad,
what's the big difference between American McDonald's and European McDonald's.
We'll talk about that also, so much more, including I
heard we got to rip from.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Reddit heng with this. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah, we drink water, but it has to be filtered
through a brewery first. You've got what's on tap radio?

Speaker 6 (30:52):
All right?

Speaker 2 (30:53):
Who's in a Christmas spirit?

Speaker 3 (30:54):
I am Chimney.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
I am welcome back to what's on tap radio.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
I couldn't do anymore, couldn't do anymore.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Brought to the table thanks to our friends over at
the backyard grill. I found a beer in the fridge
left over from Thanksgiving. See when you host Thanksgiving, people
come over and they bring different beers and maybe foods,
and somebody didn't drink this. So I was like, you
know what, I'll bring it to the show. I don't
think I've brought it to the table. And not a fan,
not a fan whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's but James's Pumpkins spice season.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
It is Pumpkins spice season. I seed everywhere I look,
I seed everywhere.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Fair Weather Football season two and we dumped ours.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Out, so you know it's not season anymore. It's not October.
It's not Octoberfest season anymore. No, but I did have
I did have one last october Fest in my fridge,
one last one, and so I figured, you know what,
I'll just go ahead and crack it over now. Friend
of our friends are over Galason Island brewing the last

(31:53):
october Fest in my fridge. Sad day, sad day here
at studios. But I'm gonna go ahead and drink it
because I know this is a good beer, and I
didn't have a good beer when it brought the table.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
So I like, how we start. We both started off
the show. We're like, yeah, this is not a good
way to go. It's time to change it up. Yeah. Yeah.
In case you guys are just now tuning in, James
had the Sam Adams Boston Jack Company Jacque coke and beer.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
It tastes like a flat coke, even though the beer
wasn't flat, it had carbonation, but it tastes like an
old soda.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Like like like a coke that sat out overnight in
the glass.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
And you took a sip of it in the morning,
exactly what it tastes like. Nailed it, And.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
You're wondering how I know what that was. Well, I
went to college and when you're desperate and you wake
up the next morning. I have done that with beer too.
You just go and you're like, I don't know whose
beer this is, but if it maybe it's still good.
I don't know, James, what are you thinking on that
october Fest.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Night and day? From the beer I brought to the table.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Although Samuel Lamb's Octoberfest is one of my favorite october fests,
I feel like it's one of the goats. But the
Jacko is not on the same playing field as the
october Fest from sam Allows. But a Galveston Island Brewing
october Fest last one brewdon Island time five point four
percent alcohol by volume, and that's going to round out

(33:11):
my october Fest here for twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
I need to clarify very quickly here for those of
you who are just hip to be square and you
know that reference. James called that beer the goat. If
you're not familiar with that, it's an acronym goat, great
nust of all time. And I know some of you
millennials out there like, did he really just have to
explain that some people are old and they don't know

(33:35):
the reference.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
Took me a long time to understand that and I
just kept insulting, asking people, why are you insulting all
of these great players?

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah, why you call them goats? Geez. Harber light Bill
over there needed to explain it to him at one
point in time. But he's hip, not just hip to
be square. Speaking of hip, I want to throw out
a huge, huge thanks to our friends and partners at
Superior Pest Control of West Michigan who've been fled the
inbox with story after story after story and also hooked

(34:04):
me up with a trip to Rare Beer Day in
Chicago at the Goose Island Brewery where caught up with
Greg Hall over there and we had him on the
show just recently and just great interview, great catching up
with him. And while we were there part of the
Rare Beer Day, we were able to come back with
bottles of beer and this from the twenty twenty four collection,

(34:26):
The Macaroon Stout. I'm gonna crack this one open. This
is the one variant of this year's release that I
have not had, and I'm gonna share this with Harber
light Bill and we're gonna see how this goes if
it's anything like what the expectations are from based on
everything else that we've had. This is a beer that

(34:47):
is stout age on bourbon barrels with coconut, ginger, cocoa,
nibs and other flavors that you'll note in here. But
I'm gonna hand that over to a Bill and it
probably comes in somewhere around like thirteen percent. But oh,
my goodness knows on this beautiful, bold, big imperial stout

(35:08):
that's nice. Oh coconut, It's basically a coconut imperial stout
age on barrels. This is gold. This is gold, baby,
this is this is a lot of heaven, a lot
going on there. I like Bill, but I shouldn't have
shared this with him. I'm kidding. I'm kidding, all right.
So that's what we refilled the glasses with. So we'll

(35:31):
talk more about this and we'll post pictures of the
beers here on our social media. But speaking of posting pictures,
you know what a lot of people like to post pictures.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Of food, food for exactly, oh dude.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
And so what I do when I go out to eat,
I like to stage my little my little photo the
photo of my food. So you know, I take my
sandwich whatever, and I line it up and then you know,
get the perfect lens on it, perfect light and make
sure there's nothing in the background. Snap those photos. My
favorite place to do that McDonald's. Love me, get my
big Max and just get my big Yeah. I mean,

(36:03):
come on, you know, I can't.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I can't even remember the last time I ever even
been to a McDonald's set.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Right, Normally, if you're going to McDonald's, if you go
to McDonald's and go in and sit down and eat,
it's because you're waiting for somebody and you just decided
I've had enough time in the car. I mean, because
there's no reason to do that. You get it and go.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
I'm gonna call my mom out. I love my mom
so much. And my mom's born and raised New Orleans
Creole Cajun as you can get. But one of her
favorite fish sandwiches McDonald's the fish.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Wow, Yeah, the mcfish. I don't understand it. You would
think that she has this refined palate when it comes
to seafood, but no, she loves a fleet of fish
from McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
And she's like, you won't want to know.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Everybody's got a guilty pleasure. Man, Hey, listen, I guess
there's I'll eat some trash out there and I and
I love me a big man.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I'm not even sure if that's real fish, but the
mcfish mcfish anyway, I don't even know what it's called,
but yeah, my mom loves it.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
Well. One of my biggest disappointments, though, is when I'm
at a McDonald's and I'm taking my photo and I'm
getting ready to put it on Instagrams. Like enjoying a
big Mac here freshly made, you know, four hours ago
or whatever it was, I don't ever get to take
a picture of it next to a beer because McDonald's
doesn't serve beer.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I guess you'd have to take it home and then
do it right.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
But I mean, the whole point of dining out is
to have the full experience. And that's why I love
those hard plastic booths and the somewhat clean tables, and
every time getting up and going get more ketchup packets
are pushed down on a little pump and go in
that platter on you and then you got a laundry bill.
But hey, it's about the experience. And speaking of the experience,

(37:44):
the experience of getting a big Mac and Mickey D's
overseas might be better than the one I just described
here in the United States. And that's because Americans who
are traveling to the all over Europe are rediscovering that
McDonald's overseas, a lot of them serve beer. If you've
eaten at a McDonald's in Italy, France, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Lithuania, Serbia,

(38:12):
the Netherlands, Greece, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, hey, you probably
were able to score yourself a Budweiser, a Heineken, a Coors,
or a Stella Artois and probably a regional favorite as well.
And that is because Mickey Di's all over the world
are open to selling beer to compliment your big Mac,

(38:34):
and customers have taken to the interwebs and gone to
the social media to say that it actually enhances the
flavor of the food at McDonald's, which, according to James,
is only possible because it can't go any lower. He's
not a fan of McDonald's at all. Yeah, this is

(38:58):
a customer in Poland. He's like, I remember whenever they
serve beer here twenty years ago, what the hell happened? Yeah,
they stopped serving it in Poland and he doesn't know
what went on there. Back in twenty sixteen, South Korea
McDonald's they picked up on it, and so now other
countries in Asia are starting to add beer to the menu. Now,

(39:21):
I will tell you for those of you who are
reading this and excited, and you know how people here
like to pick up on the hot trends, especially here
in the United States. I mean, if you can get
cappuccino in a styrofoam cup out of a push button
dispensary that hasn't been cleaned in six months, from a
dirty gas station that didn't make one of the top
gas station lists, oh yeah, you get fancy coffee on

(39:44):
one of those machines. You know, every McDonald's in the
United States is gonna be picking up on this, and
we're gonna have beer soon, except we're not no plans
whatsoever for beer to be added to the US McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Why why don't you think there's beer served at North
America McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Because we have the McRib and it's coming back, and
that just makes I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
People are going nuts over the McRib just being re released.
That's another one I don't understand.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
I know what trend I like is putting the bars
in movie theaters.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
I like that. That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
That's a good one. But maybe not pairing a beer
with McRib and your North American McDonald's not gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
All right, that's some good information if you're traveling abroad,
get yourself a beer at a big mac at a McDonald's.
All right, let's take a break, coming up and now
number two.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
We got home on beer and watched this and we're
gonna talk about it's getting married, maybe your fifth time.
We got a venue for you. All this so much more.
Hang with us. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
What's on Tap for the term social drinker is taking
on a whole new level.

Speaker 5 (40:48):
How about that?

Speaker 3 (40:49):
First, what's your pleasure? Gather around and pour around?

Speaker 4 (40:52):
What's on tap?

Speaker 6 (40:53):
What's on tap?

Speaker 4 (40:55):
It's what's on tap radio.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Hi, my name is James, and I like to welcome
you to now' number two of What's on Tap Radio?
Drink out of a brand new water glass. Compliments over
from our friend Harbor light Bill hanging out on third Mic.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
I don't think we really clarified that it was harbor
light Bill who did set this up. So in the
first hour, James got held up one of these glasses
and I about lost my mind because we haven't had
a new glassware in a while.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well, I chip my same one as Boston Logger glass.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
And so he pulls this glass out and he holds
it up and I start screaming and what is that?
And he's like, Chad, calm down, calm down. We'll talk
about it later. And then out of the blue harbor light,
Bill pulls one of these glasses out and like, James,
you're a jerk. You got new glassware and you sent
one to Bill and he introduced Bill before me to

(42:00):
start off the show. Thanks a lot.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
You broke a rule and I was not happy with you.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
I'd break that rule all the time, and you know
I do. You just don't. You choose to look the
other way. But I cracked the beer before the mics
were hot. I did, And you know that's what happens.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
None whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
I respect the FCC. Don't tell anybody anything otherwise. But anyway,
these brand new glasses out there will definitely be getting
photographs up of that, and I have a feeling you
will have an opportunity to get your hands on one
of these. If you're a loyal listener, you know who
you are, you know how to reach out with us

(42:39):
to us, you follow us, and you show up. You
support our sponsors, you support the beer community and the
beer scene. And during the last break harbor Light Bill
and I talked about a few things that we may
be doing over at Harbor Light Brewery this winter season.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
So be on the lookout for shoving the snow from
the doorway.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
That's it. It's a big shoveling snow party off the walkway.
Anybody comes over and helps shovel snow, gets gets a
free pint glass. How about that.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
But but well you gotta stop on the Harbor Light
and we're gonna have some fun stuff coming up.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
Well, we're gonna do a few things. We got we
we got ideas and if you don't like those ideas,
we've got a yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
We have so many of these. So this is for
our VIP listeners.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
This is a yeah, this is yeah. Don't don't send
us a message like, hey, can you mail me one
in San Diego? I'm sorry, I I can't. We've got
I think there's forty eight of these glasses in existence,
and uh, we will we will be. It's not gonna
it's not gonna be a random draw. It's gonna be.
We're gonna place this.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
In yourn be able to find a golden ticket and
a candy bar and be able to get yourself one.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
I don't know, gos over golden ticket in a twelve pack. Yeah,
there we go, we can hide it hid in there.
All right, Well this is our number two and uh again.
Right now we are drinking the Bourbon County mac karun
stout of fourteen point six percent bourbon barrel aged beer
here at the Beer Logic World headquarters and drinking drinking
and porium. Thank you again to our friends a Superior

(44:08):
Pest Control of West Michigan who hooked me up with
tickets to that great event. And uh. Speaking of great events,
I have to say the events that unfold in this
segment known as Hold My Beer and Watch This by
far the best beer events you could ever attend with
your attorney.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Thanks for a Tenacan insurance group.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Hold my Beer and Watch This brought to you by
the Ring nolda ten Hacen insurance group where they'll cover

to What's on tap of you do at gmail dot
com and sitting this story.

Speaker 7 (44:48):
This happened in Jorjia joji Ya Jojia Jojiah, cop I
said Jojia. A Jojiah cop who was once Deputy.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Of the Year, was arrested in charge with Dui last
week after he tried to drunkenly direct traffic outside of
an elementary school despite there being no cars in the area.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
Wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait a minute, No no way,
no way, no how that happened.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
It happened, It happened all right see page. A former
bip County cop who started working for the Houston County
just eight days before his arrest, wasn't an elementary school.
And I don't know if this is the way you
spell it or say it, but I'm gonna say it anyways,
Lazella Georgia.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
And if that's not the correct way, getting hold of
us and you can send me a T shirt. Dressed
in playing clothes and driving up patrol car when Board
of Education officers stumbled upon him last Tuesday. This happened
on a Tuesday Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
According to the November nineteenth incident. Page was allegedly slurring
his words and standing unsteadily while talking with officers about what.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
He was doing. He even walked at one point, the
report says, to allegedly keep standing in the road. Officer
said Page strieked of alcohol, prompting them to detain him
under a suspicion of dui for allegedly driving to the scene.

Speaker 1 (46:19):
They found some open containers in the car. Nuh uh,
it's good journalism right here. They found an open can
of Mike's Harder lemonade.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
And that's good journalism there.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
And an unopen can of Natty light.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Oh, of course there it is. That's right, man. You
gotta go to the bottom of the barrel, to the
bottom of a co cooler swimming around that we haven't
opened yet.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
This is all found in this patrol car. Allegedly. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Page, who won Deputy of the Year in twenty nineteen,
allegedly refused to take a breath test and was uncooperative
at the county jail upon his arrest, with staff reporting
that he tried removing a needle from his arm during
an attempted blood test. Page was reportedly released after being
booked on duy charges. The HCSO officials say he's been

(47:16):
suspended pending termination.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
Pending termination. Wait, you know, if there's ever an express
line in the HR department, I think we can go
ahead and make him customer number one. Just move him
right to the front of the line right now.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
So let's recap what happened here.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
So, a former Deputy of the year charged with dui
after trying to direct traffic that didn't exist at an
elementary school on a Tuesday afternoon.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
This is this is one of the best Hold my beer,
watch this we've ever had.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Oh this is cool.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
You imagine can you imagine witnessing this or you see
he's in playing clothes, by the way, he's not in uniform.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
He's got next week control car, and he's just sitting
here directing traffic when there's no traffic to be.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
And he's former Deputy of the year.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
And he's former Deputy of the year and he's only
been on the UH with the county for eight days
before his arrest. So good luck to you, mister Page.
You're gonna need it.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
I was just gonna say, Prussia, polish up that on
that resume, because I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
So you hold my beer and watch this.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Thanks to our friends over at Renald Tennegan Insurance Group,
a former Deputy of the year charge of the UI
after trying to direct traffic that didn't exist at an
elementary school in Georgia.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
There you go, man, All right, well, let's take a break,
but coming up. Still gotta get to what new Miller
Lite product will you not be able to get your
hands on? And what's this confusion happening over at the
Flying Saucer. We'll discuss all this is so much more.
Hang with us. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (48:56):
Spilling a beer. Oh no, the adult equival of letting
go of a balloon. So, like that last little bit
of hair remaining on your head, hold on tight to
more of what's on tap radio.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
Bringing you that Christmas joy, that holiday joy.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
As I drinking October Fest start over.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
No way, no way. You just said if you're listening
to this show right now, and you got you're trying
to get people into the spirit, and you do it,
bringing you that Christmas joy. Even see, even James hates
Christmas music. Okay, we all hate Christmas music. We just
need to admit it.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
We do it is a rating generator.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Oh wait, we love Christmas. Bringing you that Christmas joy
beer for your.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Ear radio, I will pull the curtain back a little
bit and let you guys peek.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
But that's why these adult contemporaries stations flipped the Christmas
music earlier and earlier each year, because it drives up
the ratings, because people love getting into holiday spirit earlier
and earlier each year. That's why the day after Halloween
November first, people are already putting up their Christmas trees,
hanging the stockings.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
The evidence is there, folks. But I like Christmas music
during Christmas time exactly. Yeah, after after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
That's like I said, James drinks october Fest beers after
Labor Day because it's in the Octoberfest season.

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Me.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
I say this, if it generates ratings. After the fourth
of July, break out the Christmas music, let's go, I'm
in all right, you got it, America. Now I go
too early.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
You can't go too early. You can't go too early.
But each year they tip it back just a little earlier,
which like they do with seasonals. When you get that
october Fest in July or the spring Box in.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
January, I still find that funny. We joked about that
and we said, you watch, before you know it, Octoberfest
beer will be out. We were laughing when they were
coming out in August and we're like seriously, and and
now october Fest beers are coming out in July.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
I'll never forget the first time I ever saw in
october Fest in July. I was at the Texas craft
Brewers Guild Annual conference in July, and I remember I
am pouring it and I'm going, why are you gonna
pour old beer at a guild conference?

Speaker 2 (51:23):
And they're like, You're like, no, this is fresh. This
was packaged this week.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
I'm like what, And then sure enough at the bottom
of the can has said packed and brood on you.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Know, fourth July fourth of that.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Now that right there packaging. All right, this is not
on the one sheet. I've got to talk about this
really quickly. That's right, play that eagle Man, Oh America.
But you said it was package october Fest beer package
on July fourth. We've talked about this. If you see
those Advent packs at the big box store like Costco,

(52:00):
they're they're there, yeah, and you know when those were packed.
I guarantee you those were packed before July fourth, because
by the time they had time to brew it, package it,
put it on a boat, ship it over, get it
in the warehouse, and get it in the store. I'm
telling you that's some old beers sitting there, and it's

(52:22):
we've done some of those advent calendars come out Memorial
Day weekend and we went over that as an important
safety tip. Check your brew date it is since yeah,
a fresh twenty twenty four Bourbon County stout that we're
drinking right now. Macaroon got to get here.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Let's let's let's pump it back to the holidays.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
So here in the south in Houston where I'm broadcasting from,
on the west side of town, I know there's where
you don't have to shovel Snow, there's listeners all over
the country listening, but I'm going to focus here on
this on the lone Star state.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
Now, I didn't know this.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Now I figured the ore flying Saucer all over the country,
the drafting poriums.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
But if you're not from there, what is the Flying Sauce?

Speaker 1 (53:01):
The Flying Saucer drafted Porium. It's a beer bar and
known for their good selection of Kraft beer. They got
pizzas and you look on the ceiling, they have plates
all over the wall. Chad's got one over the downtown
Flying Saucer. And then we actually interviewed a guy who's
got like thirty of them at each Flying Saucer in
the Lone Star State and so, but yeah, Flying Saucer

(53:24):
just it's a cool spot. And they a lot of
times when breweries launch here, they come from Michigan, they
come from California to do a big launch, they'll do
something at the Flying Saucer. But there's also another Flying
Saucer that's very popular around Thanksgiving time, and this is
the Flying Saucer Pie Company. So in Houston, the holiday

(53:44):
season brings a curious tradition involving two local businesses with
a shared name. You got the Flying Saucer Pie Company
and the Flying Saucer Draft and Porium.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
And they're completely independent.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Despite their vastly different offerings, one specializing and iconic pies
and the other in craft beer. The similar names have
created a playful holiday confusion that spans decades, but the
reoccurring mix up has turned into an annual joke among locals.
People drive from all over the country to get these pies.

(54:16):
Every Thanksgiving, they line up at five thirty in the
morning to buy these pies. And what happens is they
call the Flying Saucer Drafting Porium to put in order
for pies.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
I'm calling a Flying Saucer. Hey, Hey Alexa, Hey, Siri
called Flying Sauce. And the next thing you know, it's
like Flying Saucer. Yeah, I want to place Nord for
a cherry pie.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Yeah. So they're calling the drafting porium. They're even showing
up to the drafting porium. Hey, I'm here to buy
pies and they're like, yeah, the only pies we got
are pizza pies.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
So it's called there.

Speaker 1 (54:49):
It goes a lot of confusion, and so I have
a clip here. This is Joshua Justice. He's ahead of
marketing for the brewery. Oh it's not it's not Justice. Yeah,
Joshua Justice, he's in marketing for the Flying Saucer Drafting Porium,
where he says, this mix up, we'll live on for
ages and this is a cut three.

Speaker 8 (55:11):
So the Flying Saucer Drafting Porium. And obviously there's a
long running institution. The Flying Saucer Pie Company been around
for over fifty years. How they have huge lines during
Thanksgiving and every year without fail, we get confused for
them and vice versa. Owing back probably about ten years,
we go over to Flying Saucer Pie Company, grab a
bunch of pies, and we will do pie and beer pairings.

Speaker 2 (55:34):
That's pretty cool, kind of make a bit out of it.
They go buy some pies and then come back and
do a beer and pie pairing. But again that's Joshua Dresses,
head of marketing for the drafting Perium and porium for
Flying Saucers, saying, yeah, I've.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Sold that guy a lot of beer over the years.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Oh is that right? Oh yeah, I know, josh I
met him.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
I can't remember off time. It sounds familiar right to people,
but it's just it's.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
A funny confusion that people are showing up from Louisiana,
Oklahoma to get these pies and they're shown up to
the wrong location. So you want to go to the
Flying Saucer Pie Company, not the Flying Saucer Drafted Porium. Now,
if you want to get a nice beer, then you
go to the Drafted Porium, you don't go to the Pie Company.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
So there's a similar story I wanted to share with you.
Me and some of my friends from Texas when we
lived down there, we used to go on a trip
to Austin area called beer and Barbecue. We disappear for
three days or so with our buddies and just tell
the wives goodbye, we love you and we hope to
see you on Sunday, and we go hit up a
bunch of barbecue places, a bunch of beer bars and breweries.

(56:33):
And there's a place we go to in Dripping Springs
and it's just outside of Austin, probably about twenty minutes outside.
There really cool place, great beer bar that we go
to called the barber Shop. And when you show up there,
they got one of the old fashioned barber poles out there,
the striped barber poles, and they have a chalkboard inside
there of how many people have walked in, like I'm

(56:57):
here for a haircut, and so they just keep adding
to the tally of how many people show up there.
And they were like, I thought I was here to
get a haircut, and it's like, no, it's a bar. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
There's a tally at the drafting Porium, the Flying Saucer
Drafting Podium of pie calls and there's like dozens and
dozens of chalk markets in the area. So people showing
up to get theirself a pie at the drafting porium,
No wrong.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
Barbershop that gives you a beer if you're on the
waiting list, you can sit and have a beer.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
Oh yeah, there's a couple of those places. Yeah, yeah,
there's plenty of those places.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
There's this place that my dad have a problem.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
There's a place that my dad used to get a
haircut back in the eighties that would give you a
beer and a massage after a haircut.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Yeah, how about that.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Real quick before we get out of here for this segments.
We still got more to come. But I got yeah,
I got this from a listener and we talked about
how what are some red flags when it comes to
going to a tap room and we talked about you
know it smells, it's you know, bad staff. Well, I

(58:04):
got a listener that send us a story at restaurants,

that happen in a brewery in Austin that I just
went to introduce myself to the owner and the owner
was a complete a hole and so I was like,

To go take my business elsewhere. And we left right away.
We left right away.

I'm not eating here. We need to leave now, Chad,
you're chopping at the bit. Do you want to crack
a beer here? Do you want to wait for a meeting?

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
I already cracked it and poured it in the glass.
Because Harvard light Bill brought this We've had this before
Triple Root Brewery. They're Triple Stout and I'm like, well,
what's the big deal. He's like, no different year. I mean,
we just had the freshest afresh from the Macaroon Stout
from Goose Island. This is a twenty twenty one Triple
Root Triple Stout Zealand, Michigan. Folks, I know what you're thinking,

(01:00:47):
beer destination. Well let me just say this. If you
find yourself in Zealand and it's not on a Sunday,
stop in check out Triple Root Brewery. Thanks Bill for
bringing that. This is a great beer, twenty twenty one version,
great variant. It's just a good beer to share, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
This comes from Reddit. This is not a rip from Reddit,
but this comes from Reddit. So someone posted the question
on Reddit at a restaurant, what if something that's automatic?

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
I'm not eating here.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
We need to get the hell on out of here.
And here's some of the best responses. Blurtingly loud music
and strange lighting.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
What Yeah, how about no soap in the bathroom and
no hint that it just ran out. You can tell
it has been out for a while, or no paper towels,
the smell.

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Of dirty clean they're not cleaning stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
The smell of a dirty grease trap. If you were
getting the kitchen long enough, you recognize that smell instantly. Yep,
just any bad smell, any bad smell. How about the
cookwalks out of the bathroom with an apron on.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Never oh, even at tailgates at MSU, I take my
apron off before I go to the porta potty. Never
wear an apron into a.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Bathroom, exactly right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
What about a massive menu that's all over the place,
even like you know Cheesecake Factory.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Was gonna say, and now the King James version of
the menu.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
No price, no prices on the menu or menus at all,
just a QR code.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
But that's kind of the new thing.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
Uh No, mean careful on that one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
How about lots of flies buzzing around the tables in
the kitchen, or even worse side of a cockroach. I
remember I went to a pizza place to get to
go order and there at a dead cockroach right at
the front door.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
You and I were at a beer bar in Houston.
We left Eighth Wonder Brewery and we walked or yeah,
I think we walked over. There was a beer bar
just around the corner, and all of a sudden, I
saw this bartender just take She took her hand and
just went damn, slam it down on the bar, and
everybody went, what it's just dinosaur everybody, and I went, Oh,

(01:02:47):
that's what it is. You don't say roach, you say
dinosaur's that's code for we need to call the pest
control company if you're suiting.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Someone posed a cruster on a Reddit at a restaurant,
what's an automatic? I'm not eating here. I'm getting the
hell on out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
How about dirty floors, filthy bathrooms, are just sticky tables.
We got a poor hygiene of the workers that also
look visibly sick.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
When the workers you see come in and look annoyed
and they have to work or sitting down or being
just ignored for ten to fifteen minutes, no one comes
to greet you. Let's see, there's TVs playing the news,
especially anything politics related, and I'm about the screaming children
running around.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Someone wrote, can we that's what?

Speaker 3 (01:03:34):
I want to stay and eat there, but I want
to throw parents out.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Somebody wrote, Gordon Ramsey's filming Inside.

Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Gordon Ramsey's filming not a good place.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
This is another one that I see. I can get
behind this one. A poor beer menu. It is twenty
twenty four. It's a you know, in this day and age,
when so much beer ready and accessible.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
And you still have just poor selection. So all right,
thanks to our listener. I'm not sure I forget who
sent it, but they went to what's on tabriogmail dot
com and asked to us at a restaurant, what's an automatic?
I'm not eating here. We're getting a hell on out here,
and yeah, there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
All right. Well, maybe they're getting out of there because
they're like, hey, we stopped in before to have a
pre wedding meal. You know, we're not gonna have a
reception afterward because we can't afford one, but we can
afford a meal at the local tavern ahead of time.
And if that's you, maybe this is your wedding because
in New Orleans there is a new option that will

(01:04:38):
you know, if you're that very discerning couple who only
wants the finest they can't afford to fly to Las.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Vegas, I'll tell you this is for a wedding number
five or six.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Oh yeah, this is not your first wedding. Trust me,
your father in law is gonna look at you on
wedding number one like you're doing what. No, no, no, no,
you're not. But if it's the fifth wedding, it's like, hey, man,
I don't care where you get married. Just just take
her because somebody will say if you're willing to take her,
because nobody else will. This is it, man. A New

(01:05:12):
Orleans liquor store has opened up their own wedding chapel,
and in the classiest way possible, it is right next
to the beer cooler. Chucks.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
I love this.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
This is the best Chucks on the Avenue. I mean,
that's a great name for a wedding chapel or a
liquor store. Chucks on the Avenue. A wedding chapel featuring
I love this. One hundred and fifty year old stained
glass window from the Central Congregational Church, an altar from
the basilica of Saint step Stephen Church, and pews from

(01:05:52):
the Luling Church are now found next to the tasting
room and the beer cooler.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
What do you go to a church? Liquidation sail? Again?

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
Everything must go.

Speaker 2 (01:06:07):
We got these Prussian rugs, everything must go.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
We've got a confessional, we got pews, we got it all.
Chuck's on the Avenue is now a wedding chapel, and
in the release it says they offer different theme packages
in case you cannot make it to New Orleans or
sorry to Las Vegas, but you can make it to
New Orleans. Hey, we've got it. We've got different themes
from Marty Graut to rock and roll to voodoo to Elvis.

(01:06:34):
We got it. And that the statement from the owner.
From the owner, he's coming out, and he says, Charles Loscher,
he says that people are gravitating toward towards more simplistic
and smaller intimate gathers. I like how it calls a
wedding at a liquor store an intimate gathering. And we're

(01:06:56):
what we're offering isn't for everybody, but we all know
that one come who is perfectly suited to get married
between the beer cooler and the champagne section.

Speaker 5 (01:07:06):
Hey, hey, can I get a bottle of whiskey and
kiss the bride?

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Ohness? Oh yeah, but this let's say, let's say you're
too drunk to remember to send out those invitations. And
maybe you're looking around and you're like, wait a minute,
there's no one here to witness it. Not to worry.
They offer an option where the beer truck driver could
be your witness and he can stand there sign the

(01:07:38):
documents for you for all partner ceremonies, wedding renewals, non
biting weddings, and legal wettings. I mean, this guy, I mean,
how would you like that to be your job? Like,
what do you do for a linning well? I deliver
beer and part time witness at weddings for total strangers
who can't afford to get married anywhere except between the

(01:08:00):
beer cooler and the champagne section of Chucks on the
avenue a new wedding chapel and liquor store's for uh.
And you're absolutely right, James. This is like for weddings
five six.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
There's no way for just five hundred dollars you can
get married next to their grabbing go cooler stacked with
forty ounces.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Yeah, that's right. There's a forty ounce of beer and
a wedding ring, both in a paper sack.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Hey, here you are.

Speaker 1 (01:08:30):
You're lucky for listening, because here's some newly weeds and
the owner Chuck, talking about the great celebration it was.

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
And this is clip five.

Speaker 7 (01:08:37):
We just loved the plant and then figured it in
perfect when Events came out and told.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Us about it, and he was like, yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
Wedding wedding.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Anybody won't get married like that because that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:08:48):
We're all about wealth here, We're all about family and
New Walls is the greatest city in the world. Quick,
bettest city in the world to get married. You're welcome
to get married at Chucks.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
Get married a check those Old Chuck right there, you
own of Chucks on the avenue where wait for to say.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
And we'll leave the light on for you. I mean
Tom Bodette, he's gotta deal with the honeymoon. Sweet with
a Motel.

Marrillin is releasing a limited edition Ulger No They're Not,
which they describe as a digital beer pouring fireplace. It's
basically a piece of furniture itself. It doesn't connect with
any actual fireplace and includes a custom led screen that

(01:13:09):
makes it look like you've got a real fire going,
along with a custom audio track of a crackling fire.
It also holds beer, specifically middle light. Assuming it's your thing,
you can store cans below the screen. When you're ready
to celebrate, you can just pour the beers into a
clear insulated tube that looks like a chimney and there's

(01:13:30):
a spout on the bottom to dispense it. Unfortunately, the
thing is not going to be widely available. They're only
releasing a few of these in their online store while
supplies last, and they're only selling fifty of these things
for whopping two fifty and they're only selling they're selling
for two hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
That does cover your cost of making it, you know, but.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
If you miss out, chances are you will because it
doesn't exist. They made their yule Logger fire available streaming
on YouTube. It's a nine hour loop that you can
just keep going all night long.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
So the latest product that fifty dollars. You know how
much Miller Lite you can buy or beer. You want
a drink you can buy?

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
And do you want to get one of these ornaments?

Speaker 3 (01:14:22):
Chaid?

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
You don't want? You want to?

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
I want one, but I'm not paying two fifty for it.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
No, we'll You're in luck because they are also out
of stock.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
No, they're not. They didn't exist. I'm telling you, nobody
ever bought one, nobody ever got one. They don't exist.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):

I am dead serious. If you can get your hands
on this, please reach out to us.

Speaker 3 (01:15:21):
All right here we go. We got to end the
show with a little laugh. Here, We're not gonna be
able to end it on a high note. This is
one's going to depress you and bum you out. But
that's okay because we're going into the dark web. We're
going to Reddit. Rip from Reddit. There. Reddit is a
social media platform where people can go on there. It's
the wild West of the Internet. You can post whatever
you want, comments, say whatever you want, and it gets dark,

(01:15:42):
it gets deep, it gets ruthless, and nobody ever really
gets banned because you know, there's nobody policing it. It's
the okay Corral of the Internet. And none of the
comments that we are about to read are endorsed by
James Simpson, Chad Pilbeam, Harbor lighte Bill, any of our
sponsors or any of our affiliates. This is ripped from Reddit.
And a gentleman went and posted on social media a

(01:16:03):
man who claimed that he drank a hemp based beverage
of peach and ginger sparkling water and it wrecked havoc
on his body. Yes, he says, cannabis is the silent
epidemic wrecking havoc on the American family. And a friend
brought over some of these HEMP beers and I drank

(01:16:24):
two around eight pm. My body completely shut down and
I slept from eight from nine pm until ten am.
The next day, I missed Sunday mass. How is this
a legal product?

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
Well, yeah, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Unfortunately, he posted it on social media and read it,
got a hold of it, and of course this guy
took a beating. He's like, oh, this is the kind
of guy that's gonna get drunk off non alcoholic beer.
All right, two CBD beers and he passes out. Even
though there's no CBD and two CBD beers, this guy

(01:17:03):
passed out. This guy's he's fun at parties that start
at four thirty an end when the street lights come by.
And of course by one of my favorite posts of
all time. A times somebody posts something like this and
they're trying to justify but but but nerd just call
him out. I love that one. It's like, hey, good

(01:17:25):
thing this guy stopped at two of these, because if
he had a third one, he'd also be in a
relationship with his neighbor's dog and miss church.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:17:33):
Again, This is rip from Reddit, not endorsed by anything
we say this is right off the internet. All right.
This guy gave a Yelp review of tap water and
called it too spicy. Sounds like Ned Flanders writing about
the dangers of getting high on poppy seed bagels. Okay,
that one's too far right there. Oh, I love it

(01:17:54):
all right. Uh so you say it made you miss
church and you didn't even have the decency to say
say thank you. You suck the guy Dude got faded
out on rope and fused water far out. I gotta
try that, all right. That cracks me up, right there,

(01:18:15):
I love it all right, first world problems. Dude got
thirteen hours of sleep and he's complaining. The guy responded
that says, yay, he finally got a good night's sleep,
and his first thought was I want to speak to
the manager again. If you're just tuning in here, if
we're going off to the sunset. This is ripped from Reddit,

(01:18:36):
where guy's complaining about drinking a beer that had no alcohol,
no CBD, no THC, it was just hemp, and he
complains it shut him down and ruined his body. All right, Well,
let's see here. Another guy says, yeah, he got this
from a friend. Yeah, a friend gave him hemp beer,
because when he drank regular beer, he didn't just miss church.

(01:18:57):
He beat his kids and kicked the dogs. Oh God,
that darky. The other guy would mentioned it. He says, Hey,
you know there are warning labels on this. Maybe you
ought to read that, and said, how can you read
the gospel if he can't even read the warning label
on a can? Please, no one hand him any household
cleaning products from any hunder the sink.

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
Oh no, I love this one.

Speaker 3 (01:19:20):
Here. Guy says, I drank a case of this stuff
back in nineteen seventy three and I just woke up
and read this. I guess it's time for another round. Oh.
He said, Hey, if this knocked you out for thirteen hours,
you could probably take a baby assp in and cut
off your fingers with a bandsaw and not feel a thing.

(01:19:44):
And finally, if you drank this and your body completely
shut down, you'd be dead. And if you're dead, you
don't need to worry about missing church. Church will come
to you. And that is ripped from red.

Speaker 2 (01:19:56):
Head, And that is this edition of What's on Tap
