Beer There, Drunk That
Two craft beer lovers, born and bred in the Mecca of Microbrews: Southern California, are serving up an un-jaded and pretension-free review of a different Brewery each and every week on their endless quest to cut through trendy terminology and elitist B.S. to answer the simple question: is this Brewery (or bunch of brews) great, garden variety, or gross?

The boys return after an almost year-long hiatus to “ketchup” on the state of cervezas in the world, all while cracking a few random brews from the back of the fridge and beyond. Disc Golf and bodily fluids are discussed, of course, while sipping someSome Modern Times stouts, some random back-o-the-fridge ales - and a holiday ale brewed by Black Hole Supply Company artist and friend of the show: Dorsh Gorner.

We’re living in quite extraordinary times, and our favorite brewery, Modern Times, has released a thematically linked line of quarantine beers as their standard monthly releases have marched on in the face of revenue destroying tasting room closures. Thrillon McGillon (aka Dillon) joins us again to sip all of the May 2020 special release beers and let you know if they’re “good drinkin’ beers” or “a little too chemically.” We guzzle...

Today we’re pourin’ over the massive amount of changes in the Craft Beer industry during the fun little quarantine we’re all going through right now. Breweries are becoming drive-thrus, the rarest barrel aged “tasting room only pours” are being filled to the brim in crowlers and literally shipped to your doorstep - what has the beer world come to?! Our hearts go out to all the screwed over tasting room employees who’ve been affecte...

Steve concocted a stupendous...and quite sticky...idea recently: to invite a bunch of people to his house and crack open some insanely rare, expensive stouts that he’s been aging in his kitchen cabinets for YEARS. They were practically falling out every time you opened one, say to get some Cheetos Puffs or some salty macadamia nuts. On top of that, he decided that he, Joey, former guest Thrillon, and friend of the show and first ti...

After a half-year hiatus, the boys are back to recount their recent excursion vacation to Bavaria (southern Germany) for Munich’s Oktoberfest 2019! Many liters were drank, many lederhosen and dirndls were seen, and many PISS-FREAKS were witnessed...at least in the form of new improvised characters that Joey and Steve used to annoy Joey’s wife for the 12 day trip. What is Oktoberfest like for a couple of morons from southern Califor...

What’s this? What’s this? There’s white things in the air! That’s right little skellingtons Joey recently drove up to the land of Ultimate White Stuff: Mammoth Lakes, CA for a family getaway full of blow in the snow. Of course he took a trip over to what used to be the only brewery in town - Mammoth Brewing - to grab a grip of their in-line bottles and a couple seasonal special releases to bring back to his best (suds) bud Steve to...

The boys have quite the treat on today’s episode - all the way from the Far East, Hong Kong specifically, are beers from Young Master Brewery - a true delicacy for some Cali surfer dudes! We pit them against a duo of brew houses from the Far East...of America: Florida, where they sip some suds from Orange Blossom Brewing Co. and Hidden Springs Ale Works! How do these southern-fried fermentations fare against the far-flung brew-jewe...

This week the city of brotherly love is reestablished in the borough of Brooklyn, New york as Steve’s big brother Matt joins us with a handful of east coast ales to throw into our tummy pails! A recent work trip to the hipster-laden neighborhoods of B-town resulted in a suitcase full of brews that we can’t get our hands on out in the good ol’ Califor-Nai-Ay including Interboro’s Premiere Double Dry Hoppped IPA and Other Half Brewin...

Boston-born beer makers Trillium Brewing Company have been winning their fair share of awards in their five years of existence, mostly in the hop forward IPA categories but making a sweet splash with their experimental pastry stouts. The boys’ good pal Thrillon returns from his beer-trading escapades with a bevy of dark brews to sample and review on the show - a rare treat out here in sunny southern California - including their Tir...

Bootlegger's Brewery finally opened its newest location in Costa Mesa, CA and you better believe Steve and Joey skittle-skattled on over to test the new digs! How did this newest take on one of their oldest favorites compare to their Fullerton locale? Were these brand new taps pumping out the same quality Knuckle Sandwich, Rocco Red, Pumpkin Ale, Valencia Orange (and more!) that the boys were used to? Have their hazy IPA's benefite...

Joey’s back from his Italian honeymoon where he sampled many a beer from the land of noods and sauce. He shares his thoughts on the burgeoning Italian craft beer scene - aka “birra artigianale” - as it’s said with your fingers together and hand moving back and forth with each syllable. He went beyond the pale...ale...during his stay in Zurich, Lake Como, Venice, Florence, and Rome and sucked down many a brew in each little corner o...

The boys bro-down in sailor-ville this week: Southern California’s import/export mega port, San Pedro, to visit recently exploded (haven’t we all been there before!?) Brouwerij West! Formerly only known for sours and wild ales, this quirky, yet consistent brew house is riding a new wave of popularity thanks to excellent local distribution and dipping both feet into the world of Hazy/New England IPAs.

Things get dark and infected (what else is new, huh?!) on this week’s episode, as the boys welcome their favorite trade mule, Dillon - aka Thrillon - back to the show with a bevy of brews from Ohio’s Jackie O’s Brewing! Each barrel aged stout has the potential to be infected by wild bacteria due to a 2017 snafu, which apparently pissed off a lot of their fans, since their stouts are highly coveted and generally delivered a high qua...

Ol’ Stevey-poo took one for the team and procured a goodly amount of decidedly UN-local brews from Berkley’s Fieldworks Brewing Co and Salinas-based Alvarado Street Brewery on a recent trip to the Bay Area. The boys settle in for an on-air “Taste of the Bay” event the likes of which the world has never seen, sampling Hazy Train IPA, Cloud Control, Champagne Hopi, Shred Red, Grower’s Pale Ale, and All Absolutes Triple IPA.

The boys take a trip to old town Pasadena - just like a little old lady they might have met along the way - for Alien Con 2018. But beer, as always, was at the forefront of their minds, so they sought out the small Stone Brewery tasting room/filling station at the Pasadena train station to sample more of the mammoth craft brew giant’s consistent selection of west coast IPA’s, including the new Impeach and Idolotrous.

The boys are back in town after their Northwest excursion, and hit up the newest location of one of their favorite beerarias: The Downtown LA based Dankness Dojo from Modern Times Brewing. They sip on some crazy hazies, of course, like Atomic Drop, Mortal Cloak, Game Impact, Fountains of Paradise, Mountain Voice, Dual Monarchies, and more; plus, they’re pleasantly surprised by the drinkability of the usually-divisive Barley Wine: O...
