Ep 107 - Unexpected Flavor: When Sours Surprise and Honey Harmonizes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A familiar voice returns to the Northwoods Beer Guy Podcast as Brian rejoins Mike after a long absence since appearances on episodes one and two. Their reunion brings a diverse lineup of six unique beers that take listeners on a journey from the shores of Hawaii to the heartland of Wisconsin.
The duo kicks off with Kona Brewing's Big Wave, a golden ale that serves as the perfect gateway beer for craft novices, before diving into more adventurous territory with 608 Brewing's scandalous "2 Hot for Chancellor" fruited sour. This beer not only delivers surprising flavor complexity but comes with local university controversy baked right into its provocative label art.
As they progress through their tasting adventure, Mike and Brian encounter everything from the subtle maltiness of New Glarus Tailwagger amber to the perfect harmony of 608's Udder Punk Maple Walnut Milk Stout. The conversation takes an aromatic turn with Burr Oak's coffee-forward Mochaccino Milkshake Porter before concluding with Lakefront Brewing's deceptively smooth 11.2% bourbon barrel-aged Honey Bock.
Between sips, the friends discuss their approach to coffee sourcing during travels, debate what makes an ideal introductory craft beer, and propose that National Beer Day should become a recognized holiday with paid time off. They also tease a potential new segment focused on documentaries they've watched, asking listeners to weigh in on the idea.
Whether you're a seasoned craft beer enthusiast or someone looking to expand your palate beyond mainstream offerings, this episode offers honest assessments of diverse beer styles and the surprising discoveries that come when brewers push creative boundaries. Pour yourself something interesting and join the conversation where warm campfires and cold beers always await.

Grab a beer and pull up a chair. Welcome to the Northwoods Beer Guy Podcast. Hey, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Northwoods Beer Guy Podcast. This is Mike, the Northwoods Beer Guy, and today, if you've been with us since day one, you will recognize the voice on the guy that is sitting across from me. He was on episodes one and two and now on episode 107 yeah, nice to be back well I say welcome back, brian.
Speaker 1I say we've been trying to get him on for a long time and your schedule has been crazy, yeah, you know. So we're hoping, uh, moving forward, now he's gonna be able to be on a little more often, right, yeah, so Jim and I were preparing for this week and he came under the weather, so to speak, and I found that out Saturday, sunday, was yeah, I can't go. I'm like I need somebody. So luckily your schedule was open and you were able to come back out.
Speaker 2Yeah, you bet it's good to be around the table again. You know I think I'm a little more seasoned on these. Yeah, you know I run into you enough to taste some stuff behind the scenes, but I'm looking good, looking forward to it no-transcript.
Speaker 1Maybe look at doing, you know, maybe once a month, once every couple months, something like that. Yeah, a little special edition, yeah, you know, just to see, you know hopefully you know if the uh the listeners out there, if you'd be interested in something like just to see, you know hopefully you know if the listeners out there, if you'd be interested in something like that, let us know, because you know, I think it'd be kind of an interesting little change of pace.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know, you get some of those popular Netflix series that everybody's into Hulu. Yeah, there's all. I started the one we were just talking about.
Speaker 1There's all sorts of different channels out there. I've learned that have documentaries on anything you can think of so so we're going to kick that around a little bit. But uh, yeah, today we're, uh, we're. I'm just trying to figure out what we're going to do for beers and I got to looking and I'm like you know, I came up with six and they're kind. It's just kind of a mixed bag of beers. I really didn't have anything that really fit well with any of these you to do a whole class of that style.
Speaker 1So we've got everything from well. Basically it's from 4.4% up to 11.2%, and I didn't realize that last one was 11.2% until I looked it up, so we'll see how that goes. We're going to do that at the last one.
Speaker 2We'll do that one last. Yeah, all right, get primed up a little bit maybe. Huh, exactly, it was a good-looking bunch of beer actually. Yeah, I'm always into the art. I love the looks of the cans and some local stuff here, I think.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know, we've always talked about that. You know, brian always says that part of it should be the artwork and even the bottle cap and such. Now we have two bottles and four cans. So the bottle caps are kind of, and the two bottle caps just have the logos of the, the brewery on them. So they're not, you know, but there's some interesting artwork definitely on some of these cans and the bottles too.
Speaker 2So I mean, it makes them look like they're gonna taste better see that's as long as it looks like it then you know it's gonna be exactly.
Speaker 1Well, hey, we might as well break into the first one.
Speaker 2What do we got here? Get this going here.
First Beer: Kona's Big Wave
Speaker 1You know, get you kind of back in the swing of things a little bit. So the first one we have is by Big Kona, or I should say Kona, and it's their Big Wave, and it's Liquid Aloha, nice, and basically I apologize, I did not have time to print anything out so I'm just reading right off the old untapped here to give you a description Right on. This is Big Wave is a light, golden ale with a subtle fruitiness and delicate hop aroma. A smooth, easy drinking, refreshing ale. The lightly roasted honey malt contributes to the golden hue of the beer and also gives a slight sweetness that is balanced out by our special blend of hops Hops. So it should be pretty mellow, I'm sure.
Speaker 2I like that honey, honeydew or honey. That sounds good.
Speaker 1Honeydew. That's a list that you get typically, or you're talking the honeydew melon. Yeah, yeah, or what they're in that description color wise, I mean, it looks like kind of your kind of a normal looking beer. So to speak. You know that not real dark at all beer color yeah, it looks like beer yeah, looks like beer.
Speaker 1You can smell the hops. There's a little bit of a hop smell to it, a lot of hop there. Boy, I don't know, I don't get a whole lot. I mean you get some hop on the flavor, but not a whole lot. No, I, when you first smelled it, it smelled like it was going to be hoppier or you know, the flavor would be a little hoppier, but it's not bad. I mean, I could see a, possibly a lawnmower beer yeah, yeah, I mean it's, it's refreshing.
Speaker 2I guess I'm waiting for the honey. I mean you do get a little bit of the sweet as it fades, you know, not a lot of it, not a lot it's funny because I'm usually not a real big fan of like, like your honey, weiss or yeah, those kind of.
Speaker 1They always got a weird taste to them, but this one, I really don't taste a lot of honey to it, no, so it must be a pretty, pretty small amount that they use in there.
Speaker 2I do get a little bit of some sweetness at the end though. As it's fading out, I get a little bit on the Kind of like the very finish, very, very finished.
Speaker 1Yeah, Way at the end. I can taste that too. Yeah, yeah, but that's about the only other flavor you get.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, there isn't a whole lot else.
Speaker 1I guess liquid aloha. When I was in Hawaii, when Susie and I went there to watch our daughter play basketball over Thanksgiving, it didn't really taste like that.
Speaker 2You had some of that.
Speaker 1No, a liquid Aloha Aloha didn't taste like this.
Speaker 2No, have you had this in the past?
Speaker 1I have had this one in the past. We were actually talking about going to the brewery when we were there, but it was Right, it was a little ways out, you know, and I didn't know how much an Uber would be to go from the hotel over out there and back. You know, because it's it was probably a good eight, 10 miles from where we were at. I'm really surprised you didn't go. Well, we went to two other breweries.
Speaker 2Oh, you did, oh yeah, nice.
Speaker 1Yeah, we went to Maui Brewing, which we actually did an episode from Susie and I did, oh nice. And then we went to Waikiki Brewing and I've got all our notes we have not recorded. We were going to do a wrap up show there and then of course, got busy and uh, couldn't you know we didn't get it done, the episode. But I've got all our notes on the beers and there between those two, honestly, I think Waikiki the beer was a little bit better. Their food was amazing, you know, it was like dang, you know. So I mean, that was one of those places that I was going to let everybody know. If you're there, you got to go there because that's one of the few, you know I'll probably count them on one hand where the beer and the food are both extremely good, right, right, and theirs was.
Speaker 2And it was just like man At the brewery, at the brewery Restaurant, food the whole nine yards.
Speaker 1Yep, and it was something, and that one we decided we were going to walk to. Well, we walked to both of them, but, like Maui, brewing from our hotel was probably I don't know just four blocks. Maybe Nice and Waikiki Brewing was probably a little over a mile, you know. So it wasn't bad, right, but we went through and I can't remember how many beers they had on tap. I think it was 14. Oh, wow, yeah, and I ended up. They just brought me the rest of them. Here you go.
Speaker 2Might as well try them on. I'm sure you didn't look like a tourist, no.
Speaker 1They knew I was kind of a big deal, yeah, and we got there, I think.
Speaker 2I mean, you gave them a, you know, preemptive hey, we're going to be in town.
Speaker 1No, they looked it up and saw that, yeah, yeah, that's it Right. No, they looked it up and saw that, yeah, yeah, that's it Right, but no it was really cool.
Speaker 2So, yeah, it's okay, it's okay, yeah, I guess yeah, for your opinion.
Speaker 1I guess what for a score? You remember our scoring zero to five by a tenth of a point. What were you thinking?
Speaker 2You know to me it's an average. I mean it's two and a half, two, seven, you know. I mean, if I would just want to keep it simple, um, I wouldn't give it a three no, so you're gonna thinking like a two, five yeah, that's exactly what I think so exactly what I'm doing, just it's a.
Speaker 1It's good, yeah, um yeah, ice cold on a hot day, it's probably really good like I said kind of a lawnmower beer, right? Other than that, I guess I was expecting a little bit more, right. And like you said, you do get a very faint kind of a sweetness on the very finish, but not.
Speaker 2No, honey, I didn't get any honey out of that, not a lot, no, just a little bit at the end, there on the lips a little bit.
Speaker 1Eh, meh, eh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh. If, if somebody goes hey, you want one of these, yeah, okay all right, you know all you got.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was gonna say you're looking in their cooler. Is that all you got, or?
Speaker 1is that? That's just a you know. Get the whistle going right, you're right.
Speaker 2Right, it's a warm-up one. I wonder if that one might become a little more full warmer.
Speaker 1Well, we, got a little bit left, we can try it. I'm I'm worried that that it'll just going to get warm, just get warm. All right, I don't know We'll try it, though we do have a little bit left and we'll see.
Speaker 2But like.
Speaker 1I said it's not offensive at all. I mean, this would be one. I think if there's people that have never tried a craft beer, they could drink this one. Yeah, it's a good starter.
Speaker 1Oh you know, yep, I agree, yeah, and you know, that's one thing that, like jim and I have been talking about trying to, to let people know if, if they're new, that you could drink this beer. You know, and some of them it's like, yeah, I wouldn't start with. You know, right, you never had one, I wouldn't drink that one, but this one would be easy peasy.
Speaker 2I think, yep, yep, that's a good beer, absolutely if you're new to the game.
Speaker 1Exactly, that's what I think, so if you see it out there. Don't be afraid of it. It'll definitely be one that you could enjoy or at least try yeah. So I'm looking up the next beer as we're talking, and they reused the UPC code.
Speaker 2So it came up to a whole different beer, is that right?
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2But hey, you know it happens. What was that last one? Again, that was Kona. Yeah, the Big Wave.
Speaker 1Yep, liquid Aloha, and they've got, you know, a pretty decent selection. You can find them around a lot, you know, because they do actually have breweries. They do have one, like I said, in Hawaii. They do actually have breweries. They do have one, like I said in Hawaii, but they have other ones in the continental US too, oh, no doubt. So they distribute really all over the country, so pretty much anywhere where you're actually going to find it. I've got a neat.
Speaker 2Look to it. I mean there's actually like raised stenciling on the bottle that says liquid alcohol. I like that stuff, man. Like you said earlier, it kind of separates.
Speaker 1I really do man. You know that really does separate it from, like the other bottle that we have sitting here.
Speaker 2It does.
Speaker 1It's more of just a plain bottle. Yeah, something like that. It separates them.
Speaker 2I mean it takes a lot, doesn't it, to make their own glass. I mean that's a whole thing.
Speaker 1You would think it would add some cost to it maybe.
Speaker 2Absolutely so.
Speaker 1Huh, nice Well, does that change your score? No, nope.
Speaker 2Nope, I just think it's pleasant looking.
Speaker 1You were just going to bring it up because it's Hawaiian, exactly you know it's light blue. Yep, and it's got like the flowers and the waves.
Speaker 2It's almost like finding Nemo, you know font.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I like the look.
Speaker 1Yeah, Now that you mention it, it definitely kind of does have that. Look to it Hawaiian-ish. Yeah, there you go. Hawaiian-ish, that's the technical word for it. Yeah, so the next beer that we got Now this is a totally different style, because the last one you know was pretty. This one is a fruited sour. Jim would love that. Jim would love it A fruited sour Jim would love that.
Second Beer: 608's Too Hot for Chancellor
Speaker 1Jim would love it. This is from 608 Brewing and that's out of La Crosse, wisconsin. You bet this one. I got to figure out how we're going to describe this because this is their Too Hot for Chancellor. Is the name of this beer A little inside there? Yeah, they actually first came out with this now. I think it was in 20, was it 22? Or 23? It might have been 23. And it was brought back by popular demand.
Speaker 2the end of this last year and this year.
Speaker 1Now for those of you that maybe aren't familiar with it if you go online and just look up UWL Chancellor, it's probably going to pop up right at the top of the story list. Let's just say there was some. I don't know how would you say it. Difference of opinion on some activities, I guess. Yeah, you know, extracurricular out ofof-school activity Out-of-school yes, I guess We'll probably leave it at that. Right, I think you have to pay. There was a.
Speaker 2I think there might have been a fee involved Right. So Too hot for Chancellor Too hot for Chancellor.
Speaker 1I love it, I love it Well, and on untapped, it says back by popular demand the infamous fruited sour with apricot, cherry peach and vanilla. So this will be interesting to see if we can actually pick out, because that's the one thing I've noticed lately. Well, I'm sure you have too. A lot of these. Sours aren't sour anymore, and sometimes they put so much stuff in it that it's hard to pick out the flavor.
Speaker 2Yeah, right, right, I was thinking the same thing the sour is going to overwhelm the vanilla. Yeah or they put the vanilla in to round out the sour right. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1That's a darker looking one, and I'm trying to think it's almost the color of apricot like apricot color yeah, yeah, white, white head on it never hurt anybody, no boy it smells sweet.
Speaker 2Well it, Well. It ain't bad For a sour, it's not that bad.
Speaker 1I don't think I'd want too many of them.
Speaker 2I think I might get heartburn from it. Right, right.
Speaker 1But boy, I'm trying to. Okay, so apricot, cherry peach and vanilla, I'm getting almost all of it. Man, it's kind of surprising.
Speaker 2It surprised me big time. I it's kind of surprising. It surprised me big time. I'm getting almost all of that.
Speaker 1Starts off, I definitely get the apricot. Mm-hmm. On the finish I get the vanilla. You know, on that very end of the flavor, yeah, cherry is. Yeah, it's there. That's there too. The only one I think I might be missing yet is the peach.
Speaker 2But that could be with that apricot in the first part of it. Yeah, right, right, I that's a. That's got a lot going on. Man, it's a busy beer but it's not bad. But it's. It subtly goes through all the flavors. Yeah, it really does I'm not. I'm not a huge sour guy. I'm not right.
Speaker 1Well, typically I'm not going to be. You know that's not going to be my first choice typically now I I did go through that year where I made it my first choice, so I could stand them, and then they went and switched the formula on me and it's all sweet now, is that right? Well, this is sweet for sure too.
Speaker 2I mean, it's rich and it's got a richness to it. Oh yeah, it's good man.
Speaker 1Yeah, I say, you can still find the ones that are, I should say, tart where it kind of hurts your jaw. Yeah, yeah, you know but those are fewer and farther between than what these are, because, again, I'm sure this style is way more popular than the really tart, hard-to-drink ones, right, right.
Speaker 2Yeah, this is more appealing, I think, to a more mass scenario. Yep, I would agree with you what's the alcohol content on?
Speaker 1that this one. It is 5%, so it's a little bit stronger than the Kona, but it definitely has a lot more flavor to it.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, it blows that Hawaii-ish beer out of the water. I really actually like it.
Speaker 1I am surprised. I was going to say it's one of those where it's like you hate to say it, but it's not bad.
Speaker 2It really isn't to say it, but it's not bad, you know it really isn't. Yeah, I still don't think, jim would be thrilled with it.
Speaker 1But no, it isn't as drastic, as it does have a little bit of sourness on the right before the right before the vanilla kicks in, but it's not terrible at all.
Speaker 2No, no like I said, the sweetness overpowers you know you mentioned earlier on the s a lot of times. They're just super overpowering, Right. This is not the case. This isn't bad.
Speaker 1And when you look on our social media, you'll see the picture. And I didn't. Yeah, here I'll let you. I didn't see the censored thing on there. So, ladies and gentlemen, I'll post a picture of the can by itself so you can get an idea. You'll have a pretty good idea of what's going on. Oh, that is classic. I give him credit. That's pretty. We'll say gutsy. I think it even looks like the guy.
Speaker 2It kind of does, yeah the picture of him running.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean With a bowl of apricot. Yeah, I was going to say it's.
Speaker 2I can see why they brought it back. I mean, I think people would enjoy that, oh yeah. I honestly do yeah, fruited sour.
Speaker 1Like I said, I give 608 credit. That's a pretty gutsy label. Yeah, I mean honestly A local, A local Scandal yeah yeah, we'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2We'll leave it at I like it. Veteran-owned business too 608.
Speaker 1Yeah, I guess I can go first on this one yeah shoot, I think you're right. The flavor I still kind of had a hard time picking out the peach, but that could be the peach and apricot could be playing together right away.
Speaker 1I did like that. The finish had that vanilla kind of an aftertaste. The cherry was right before that. The only knock on it for me is I think I'd get heartburn if I had an entire can of it. This is a 16-ounce can, so you've got a lot of beer going on there. But other than that it's not bad. I think I'm going to go like a 2.7. I think it's better than average and I think again, I think most people could try it if they've never had a sour before.
Speaker 2I think for the category and what it is, I think they did an exceptional job with it. I'm at a 3.0. 3.0?.
Speaker 1Solid Nice.
Speaker 2Which I normally on that style of beer. It's hard to get above the average on any of them, really Right. So I really enjoyed that one and I got the cherry, I think is what I liked the best out of it. Yep, right through the middle of that man.
Speaker 1Yep, it was really good. That's where I felt our taste of the two was right in that middle part of the sip and it was like it's good, Pretty good. Yeah Well, like I up man.
Speaker 2And we'll leave her at that, because that's yeah.
Speaker 1The backstory's worth the time to check it out. The backstory would be probably to get you through that can.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know Right so.
Speaker 1I don't know.
Speaker 2Grab a can and look it up. And look it up and enjoy. Get a chuckle out of it. Yeah, there you go. Yes, enjoy the story. Yeah, it's good, get a chuckle out of it.
Speaker 1Yeah, there you go. Yes, enjoy the story. Yeah, it's good, pretty crazy. So, yeah, I guess you've been keeping yourself busy and all that good stuff. Now that winter, hopefully, is over, yeah, you know, you'll be getting back up to your camper as well. Yep, up in the seed area. Yeah, nice, buckhorn, we'll be getting back up by Hayward. Hopefully the mice weren't too bad. Right, that's always the roll of the dice every spring. Yeah, you know. Yeah, so, hopefully. And then I don't know, like the last couple days it's been nice, but like today it was fairly chilly and the breeze was kind of One thing I should have brought up earlier and I do apologize, you know, friday is today On. I do apologize, friday is today. On Monday it was National Beer Day, wow. And I have a question and maybe you can help me, since you were military. Maybe you have a connection where we can somehow get something in place where it's a recognized national holiday, where everybody gets the day off.
Speaker 1Yeah, right you know, and you got to drink beer.
Speaker 2So maybe we can work on that. I mean, they have a lot of days for everything else. Exactly what's taking so long here, man?
Speaker 1Typically every day has about 18 holidays.
Speaker 2I think are associated with it Right.
Speaker 1But of course, the only bad part is, I'm going to say the same thing when it's National Stout Day, National IPA Day.
Speaker 2Well, first we get the one and then we can break them down Once we get the foot in the door. Yeah. Then the subcategories, and we'll go crazy, you know. Yeah, like that commercial where they do your cousin from Boston. Yeah, and they show them the different seasons. You know reasons to drink beer.
Speaker 1I love it, man, exactly. So yeah, if we can just get one of those days a paid day off, then we can try and get the rest of them in there. Right, that'd be perfect, perfect, at least I think it would be. I'm in man, perfect, all right, so there's two. So hopefully, if anybody out there is listening that agrees with us let us know.
Speaker 2Yeah, maybe we'll put a petition up on the page or something. Yes, we'll get a petition going Electronics signatures and we'll send it right up.
Third Beer: New Glarus Tail Wagger
Speaker 1Somehow. I don't think we're going to be very successful, but it's worth a shot, right, well, all right. Well, let's move on to our third beer. And now this beer is actually kind of a newer one, from New Glarus. It hasn't been out all that long. To be honest with you is that right yeah and this is their tail wagger amber and it it's. It has a one sentence description on untapped fruity caramel and eminently drinkable all right, we'll see about that. But look at the dog on the label.
Speaker 2Oh, nah, nah, Nah, nah, I love it, I love it.
Speaker 1They got a whole bunch of writing on there, but it's like micro print.
Speaker 2We'll see. I like that. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it's like a Spanier or a Spaniel Spaniel.
Speaker 1That's kind of what it looks like us, yeah, no, so we'll see. Now, this one is an amber.
Speaker 2So it's a. You know more of that amberish color.
Speaker 1Yeah, definitely darker than the first one read that description again because, uh, fruit, fruity caramel and eminently drinkable caramel. Easy going tail wagger amber plays well with others. No matter if you choose to bring some home or enjoy a brief escape at your local happy hour, this amber is the perfect companion, both smooth and approachable, brewed with malted barley from Wisconsin and our cousin state of Minnesota. When days are short and work is long, this friendly Jeepers, it's a friendly greeting will set your tail wagging to cheers.
Speaker 1It was right in where their logo started, so it was one shade darker than that.
Speaker 2There's a little run-on there, I think I don't know. I took one.
Speaker 1I'm still smelling the sour right now. Hmm, hmm, yeah, hmm, kind of I don't know yet it could be one yeah with me. Honestly, it's like I really don't know. There's definitely not as much flavor as that sour head no, no, no you know this is compared to that.
Speaker 2I hate to say that. Aloha beer, yes, it's kind of the same little little, a little more malty yeah, yeah, than that, yep, but that's kind of the only difference.
Speaker 1Right now, it's just the malt factor yep it's just a little little hardier. Oh, what was the? Uh, this is 5.8 percent, so a little bit higher. But caramel, then they kind of get a little bit. But maybe.
Speaker 2Huh, it's interesting that it's one of those where it's like it's not terrible, no, but it doesn't. Eh, it's not terrible, no, but it doesn't really knock you back at all. I mean Right. I was going to say Like that fruit, that second, oh man, that sour.
Speaker 1That one you knew.
Speaker 2You got flavor right off the bat.
Speaker 1Yeah, everything, this one, this does remind me of an amber, yeah, because they're usually a little bit more malt forward, are they? Yeah, a little bit more malt forward, are they? Yeah, and usually they don't have huge flavor, I mean for that style, this is probably a decent representation. I think it's one where I don't think anybody'd be turned off by it, like like I can't drink that. Maybe I don't know if you don't like malty beers, but it's not like it's over the top. No.
Speaker 2No, no, no, no. I think it it's another good introduction type style on a craft it, it, it's, it's okay.
Speaker 1I was going to say that's kind of it's just okay. The the way to describe it is it. It's okay. You know, again, if somebody showed up with a six pack, say, hey, you guys want one of these, sure. I'll take one right, you know but I don't know, I guess.
Speaker 2Um, I was hoping to have a little bit more to it, but well, the first little sip that I took I was like. And then no, yeah, like, wait a minute, that was right rinsing out my glass from the sour. So maybe I mean, yeah, that probably. Uh boosted it up or did something to it. I should grab one. Oh, I got one right here.
Speaker 1Oh, there you go, he's got a water bottle. Yep, we didn't think of that through.
Speaker 2You're not on location, you're on.
Speaker 1No, well, I'm at Brian's studio, so to speak, Right? So yeah, it is just like another room. It basically is yeah, it is just like another room.
Speaker 2It basically is yes, yeah, you know, shoot, I'll throw a number out on it. I mean it's a 2-5 for me. Again, I mean it's not bad, it's not great, it doesn't blow you away.
Speaker 1No, you know, Jim would be freaking right now. Why, well, you can't have a tie? Oh really, oh yeah, how are people supposed to know which is better? I'm like it's okay, dude, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 2Well, if you want to look at it that way, I would say it's better than the Hawaiian. So you'd go like a 2.6?.
Speaker 1I would, yeah, I would, edge it out Absolutely. There you go.
Speaker 2Jim, there's for Jim 2, 2.6.
Speaker 1Yeah, it is better. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I agree, I was going to 2.6 as well. Oh yeah, just because I think for an amber it's where I think it should be typically. You know, you see a lot more that taste kind of like that, a little more subtle in the flavor, more malty, but again, it's close to average, that's where the amber is characteristically more malty.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean, where does the amber part of it come from? I mean just the processing of it, or just the description.
Speaker 1Now, this is just my amateur opinion and my brother Brian. When you listen to this, you can feel free to text me like he Every week when I have a question. He'll text me and be like really dude.
Speaker 2You didn't know that.
Speaker 1You didn't know that. I think amber it more gets the name from the color. Yeah, you know because it's that kind of that darker amber-ish color. Yep, yep, you know. So just like a brown ale or a red ale Right, right, right and, and I think they all kind of fall into that same category where it's based on color and the. The flavor on all of them is pretty mellow right it is so real mellow.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean it's not offensive at all, and I think people could drink it yeah you know so awesome yeah well, I guess we can just keep keep plugging along, or?
Speaker 2unless you have. You have something you'd like to? I'm good.
Speaker 1We already did that one, sorry. All right, I got to look up the next one and this one you probably will love.
Speaker 2Well, I was looking at that one, I was looking that one over.
Fourth Beer: 608's Utter Punk
Speaker 1So this is also by 608. Yep, and this is their Utter U-D-D-E-R. Utter Punk Maple Walnut Milk Stout. Mm-hmm, that sounds great.
Speaker 2I am very interested to see how this is.
Speaker 1I have not had this one, oh wow, so I'm really interested to see how this is. And the artwork is interesting. It is. It's like a caricature of an utter yeah With tattoos and some piercings. Oh, I didn't see the piercings.
Speaker 2yeah again I give these almost like a well, we won't go yeah, yeah, I'll say this could kind of fall into that same story a tattoo of a bull on one, yeah, one of its teats yeah, I mean it's.
Speaker 1It's like that's funny, man, I give them credit. They got some good artwork yeah.
Speaker 2That's classic. I like it, man, it is. The punk is back, and this time with a maple and walnut. Cheers, friends.
Speaker 1Now this one is 5%, so it's kind of back down in here a little lower than the amber Contained walnuts, real walnuts. It says Real walnuts and it's a milk stout.
Speaker 2I'm really interested to see how that maple and how the walnut if it pops. I don't know if I've ever had a walnut in beers I've got another one at the house that BK gave me.
Speaker 1He brought it back from Kansas, I believe, and it's a black walnut like an ale, really good, and I know jim kind of didn't care for it and it I don't know. I thought it was really good, for a black walnut usually has a really strong flavor, but this was really good.
Speaker 2So well, let's crack it, let's do it, man. I, I, I'm I'm looking forward to this one, like, like I said, I'm very interested in this to see how it is.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it's definitely a milk stout. It has that dark, tan head. It sure does. Like I said, I'm hoping that the maple it's only 5%, 5%, so it's very drinkable, I'm sure.
Speaker 2All kinds of froth on there.
Speaker 1Look at that.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's awesome, I mean mean it?
Speaker 1looks like wow, it should be. I can smell the walnut and the maple. Oh yeah, I can taste them both. Yep, absolutely, that's wild. Typically I've always noticed, you know, like if you have a maple beer, typically like, the maple just way overpowers everything, yeah yeah, you know, and this is not not bad at all, honestly, that's a subtle, real subtle maple and that's pretty good. But then you get that walnut flavor at the end, yep.
Speaker 2And then it kind of gets to me almost a little hoppy-ish at the end. Yep, it's not there right away. I'm not a hop fan, usually, right, but it's just a little bit at the end of that, um, but before that all of it, I can taste it all right there. That is crazy, that's pretty good.
Speaker 1That's crazy, because I haven't had this. Nope, never had this one and, like I said I am, I'm blown away by it. Honestly, just the fact that you can taste both, both those flavors you know, because I thought if anything, it's going to be super maple syrup flavor. Yep and then you wouldn't taste the the walnut at all, but syrupy kind of yeah too, too heavy in it yep, because we've definitely had ones like that before. Yeah, you know, I've I know you and I have shared one like that before that was like oof.
Speaker 1It was like you were drinking just maple syrup out of the jug, you know, but boy, yeah, but boy, this is not bad, and it's a milk stout, so of course that gives it kind of that little bit of a creamier feel and such. I like it. Yeah, that is. That's the best one we've had so far. I would agree we might as well just go right into it.
Speaker 2Yeah, what are you thinking, man?
Speaker 1I'll tell you what I uh, I'm surprised. I really like that. The fact that, like I said, that you can taste all the flavors and all that I like it. I'm going, uh, I'm gonna do like a 3.2 is where I'm going. Like I said, I I still think people could. If you haven't had a milk stout, you should try them first of all because they're they're a lot, typically a lot mellower than your normal stouts and things like that, or barrel aged, stuffaged stuff, of course.
Speaker 2Oh, absolutely. But it seems to me like whenever I've had the stouts they're always flavor, oh yeah, they're always packed with something, some good flavor. Most of them have been positive. I've liked most of them that I've had, but I mean the creaminess side of it.
Speaker 1you know the texturing type you you know, and typically your stouts, your stout, especially your barrel age stuff, you want to have it a little bit warmer. Where this one, I think? When it warms up, because it's it's getting pretty close to where I think the temperature should be. Uh, and if it warms, up just a little more, it might have a little bit more flavor that'll pop out, but but it's good, well, I'm, I'm, I'm right with you.
Speaker 2I mean, actually I like it. You know, I it even a little bit better, I mean if it didn't have that little bit of hoppiness at the end. But yeah, I'm 3.5. I really like it, yeah, nice.
Speaker 1Overall, like I said, I'm surprised. I really like it. I'm impressed with it.
Speaker 2And that was only 5%. 5% Dang Tastes better than that? Yeah, five percent Dang, so you could drink Tastes better than that.
Speaker 1Yeah, it does. I mean you could drink a few of them and not get messed up. Now again, this one is in a pint can as well. Yeah, so you know, it's definitely take you a little bit longer to drink it, but I think it's good. I do too. I like that.
Speaker 2Surprise, surprise, yeah, you were, took back a bit on them and you were. You were just thinking, maple, all the way.
Speaker 1that's what I was thinking, I was thinking it was going to be totally maple and that's all you're going to taste and it, uh, it's not that at all. I like it. That's good, and the artwork you got to give them bonus points for the artwork.
Speaker 2I mean that's almost better than the yeah too hot for chancellor, but I'd say not.
Speaker 1I yeah no the the story on that one makes up for it, I guess.
Speaker 2It's good, though. I like it. I really do that's good, yep.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'll take that, rinse that out just a little bit.
Speaker 2I like the milk stout. I do, yep, yeah, they're usually really good Dude. I'm still thinking about that sour the fruit, sour one, and how loaded.
Speaker 1That thing was Yep. How good it was. For sure that was an interesting one.
Speaker 2Yep. This by far, though.
Speaker 1Oh, so far this one, I think, is definitely above the other ones so far. 608, utter punk.
Speaker 2Yep Maple walnut note stout. All right, I think there's an extra teat on there. It could be.
Speaker 1Well, there's a lot of stuff on there that you're like okay.
Speaker 2That's good.
Speaker 1All right, Well, hey, so we got two beers left Right on the next one. This one I actually picked up in Missouri and brought back. So this one you've never seen before because they don't have it up here at all at all not available. So this one is from burr oak brewing company and this is their hop and da's mochaccino milkshake porter well, the hop and da's got me a little worried, but then the rest of that, I'm like hmm, well, there, maybe the under the lower, the little print says that this is actually a cocoa coffee porter.
Speaker 1Oh, I gotta like that. So you drink coffee so yeah, the only time I drink coffee is when it's in a beer so their, uh, their description on untapped is mochaccino is the second beer released in our hoppin daz d-a-z, so it could be hoppin days. I don't know how they say milkshake series. It's daz daz, that's what I think. It is a milkshake porter coming in at six percent abv with lakota coffee, ethiopian cold brew, oh, cacao and lactose. So this should have all sorts of coffee for you.
Speaker 2Yeah, I guess Ethiopian what.
Speaker 1Ethiopian cold brew.
Speaker 2Cold brew, I mean that sounds good just by itself cold brew. See, exactly. Oh yeah, that's a dark one.
Speaker 1It's not as dark as the 608, but, it's still because this is a porter and porters are kind of like the cousin of the stout. They're not as heavy. Typically it looks great.
Speaker 2I mean it looks like coffee. I mean it looks just like when I was pouring it.
Speaker 1it had more of a brown color, but then when you get your Because we're doing our taster glasses and you can't see through it.
Speaker 2I mean it's dark. No, you can't. You smell the coffee. You can smell the coffee. This is under 6%. This is 6%, Yep.
Speaker 1Hmm, I can taste the coffee. Yep, yep, yep, that's for sure. And it's always funny because you know one thing to my brother, Brian, when it says milkshake, what's the difference? On that, you know, cause that's always been something. You see milkshake IPAs. You see milkshake pourer milkshake, oh yeah. And I don't know if it's well, I'm sure it's because it has lactose in. It is probably the biggest thing, is what I'm guessing, but like I said, Brian, if I'm wrong, text me let me know.
Speaker 2I'm not sure on how that would be tagged. Well, tagged to the last. I get that part of it Right, but that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1It's good. It's got a little bit of a. To me it's a little bit of a strange finish. There's kind of the. I don't know what that flavor is. You know it's a little bit of a. It could be the coffee. You know having those two different coffees in there as well. I don't know.
Speaker 2It's the Ethiopian cold brew. I like it. I'm starting to think I like it better than the 608. Really, wow, I'm not 100% yet.
Speaker 1That doesn't surprise me, because I know you like you're kind of a gourmet when it comes to coffee. Yeah, yeah, you know, and it's always kind of funny because when we go on vacation or wherever, we're always okay.
Speaker 2We've got to find coffee for Brian. Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 1Yep and we brought back stuff from all over the place, like in the Caribbean and then Hawaii.
Fifth Beer: Burr Oak's Coffee Porter
Speaker 2I'm getting down there again. Oh, okay, well. You can see my stash over there is getting lower and lower. Yeah, not quite, not quite.
Speaker 1But yeah, and that's just funny because, like I said, I love the smell of coffee, but to drink coffee itself, I'm like, oh, it tastes terrible Really, but Better to you, I mean what is it? Yeah, I don't know. I guess it's probably just that it's a little bitter.
Speaker 2But in a beer I'll drink it. Hey, coffee is getting like beer though the descriptions on these bags. Let me grab one. Here's that Organic, organic and fair trade Peace coffee. This is the stuff that you guys brought back Holiday cheer medium roast, sweet and celebratory. But then it goes into you. You know a mixture of this, a little bit of caramel in there, and you're like this is coffee.
Speaker 1This is coffee, I mean it's not quite the reward isn't quite the same yeah, I mean I can drink this and I'll get wired, but I'm not uh oh man, there was that death coffee you brought back.
Speaker 2Yeah, that was pretty good. I went through that one first. Yeah, there's been some interesting ones we always try to find from wherever we're at.
Speaker 1Let's find something that's from there, you know, Yep, and yeah, it's just kind of funny.
Speaker 2This batch was a great batch actually.
Speaker 1Okay, good, I appreciate it Well good, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, like that yeah absolutely.
Speaker 2I like this. I this is edging 608 for me sure, so what uh?
Speaker 1I guess, well, I gotta go, just a little bit more, maybe three, six, three, seven. Okay, I don't, I could push four, oh with it, but then I'd say you were probably drunk.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah well, we haven't gotten to the 11 yeah, we haven't got to the 11th percenter yet.
Speaker 1Yeah, we haven't gotten to the 11th percenter, yet We'll hold that for that.
Speaker 2No, I like this. If you're a coffee person at all, this would be definitely one to check out, Absolutely man yeah, and the fact that it's a porter is different.
Speaker 1Most of the time, I think when we have coffee beers they're a stout. Is that right?
Speaker 2Yeah, just naturally yeah.
Speaker 1I think a lot of times the coffee flavor. When they put it in there it's probably stronger. So they try and probably cover it up a little bit with more alcohol and kind of that stoutness when a porter's not quite as strong as that, Right Right. So I don't know this one.
Speaker 2I don't mind it as that you know, right right so I don't know this one.
Speaker 1I don't mind it. Um, you know it's a lot of coffee for you, well, no, not so much that it's it just for me. It has kind of that little bit of a whatever that on the end, remember what I was saying, that is yeah, yeah it's not really bitter, but it's just got a little different flavor to it.
Speaker 1Yeah, so I think and this is going to be our biggest uh discrepancy but I'm gonna go like a 2.9, is that right? Yeah, I still say it's better than average, but I just I don't know, there's whatever that finished part is I'm just a little bit I gotcha. So burr oak brewing company, burr oak, yep and milkshake. They're out of columbia, missouri.
Speaker 2Hoppendoz. I like the artwork Too purple.
Speaker 1Yeah, and it's got kind of that ice creamy look to it.
Speaker 2Yeah, definitely, you know. On the back.
Speaker 1It's got the milkshake.
Speaker 2So I give him credit. I like it. I give him credit. That's my favorite one, all right.
Speaker 1For sure. Well, that's because you know, like you said, you combine coffee with beer. What can go wrong.
Speaker 2I know it's kind of like man, what a good idea. Yeah, I wish I'd have thought of that. Yeah, I mean it's kind of like peanut butter and jelly, yeah.
Speaker 1There you go.
Speaker 2I like it I like it.
Speaker 1Well, we're on to our last beer.
Speaker 2This one sounds good, this one sounds good.
Speaker 1This one will be interesting. Yeah, it looks like it could be. I don't think it's where it's going to be terrible or anything like that. Like I said, just going into it first off, I've never been a huge honey beer fan, except for meads. Meads are honey beer and meads are one of the oldest styles of beer there is. But there's always kind of a different process Really. You know how they do it so I don't mind that. But like, like I said earlier, your honey Weiss, your honey whatever. I've never really cared for it. And this is a honey Bach. And this is by Lakefront Brewing, which is out of Milwaukee. And this is by Lakefront Brewing, which is out of Milwaukee, milly Wawkay. For the layperson it's a honeybock, a lager with honey, but the saving grace is it's barrel-aged.
Speaker 2I saw that. That's when you're like, oh, I saw that and it says I don't mind bourbon-aged, but dang bro, that stuff can really. It'll get you if you're not careful and a lager is heavier, typically right A lager or no?
Speaker 1No, lagers are a little smoother than an ale. It's kind of a different process. Typically, these are kind of your lower, you know you can get them from 4%, 5%, 6%, but this is 11.
Speaker 2Most beers domestic people drink are Poggers right.
Speaker 1Well, most of those are Pilsners. Pilsners, yeah, gotcha, so they're kind of distant cousins. Yeah, yeah, but this one is a German-inspired Honey Bock and it was aged in bourbon barrels, and what could be wrong with that? As you know, Jim and I have rated a lot of bourbon barrel beers. You've had a number of them.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 1And this is in a normal-sized can, oh yeah.
Speaker 2It'll be in there and I like them. I mean, I can't deny that I like them.
Speaker 1You just got to be careful, because they can get you before you know, it Not real dark. No, it definitely has almost like a honey color to it, doesn't it? It does, absolutely, I'm sure some of it is from the barrel and some of it's from the honey, but it's definitely.
Final Beer: Lakefront Honey Bock
Speaker 2Yeah, it's almost got a glow, it's got that dark honey.
Speaker 1It almost looks like honey. Yeah, literally you can smell the barrel you haven't had this.
Speaker 2You don't believe. I don't think so. You can smell the barrel. Ooh, that's different.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's pretty rich. I can taste the bourbon barrel. But I do get that honey Right away too. Right away he goes honey bourbon, right yeah.
Speaker 2Kind of honey. Yeah, you're right, it does, it actually does.
Speaker 1I mean it's not bad, it's definitely different.
Speaker 2I mean my first reaction to it was this is going to be really rich. And then it peters out a little bit on the richness. I thought it was going to carry out Boy Sy, carry out syrupy feel, but that's different.
Speaker 1That honey kind of mellows out the bourbon a little bit. It's not like a real and I wish they would have said what. Let me look on Untapped. If it says what bourbon barrels they used, here's the description on Untapped. It says Honeybach, a German-inspired strong lager, gets brewed with copious amounts of honey. Is that a plethora? It's like a plethora. Yes, vienna, munich and caramel malt. After resting in bourbon barrels, this malty, rich, nutty and toasty brew picks up notes of vanilla, oak almonds and pipe tobacco. It's there, man. Yeah, I should have read that before because it definitely. Well, it's funny that you said about rich.
Speaker 2Yeah, really rich. But I thought it was going to be rich, like syrupy rich, oh sure, and it almost like a dry martini, it kind of dried out as it was going. You know what I mean? Yeah, I was expecting it to be syrupy, right, it didn't. It didn't do that.
Speaker 1No, I've got a lot going on, dude. I would say it sure to me and I know I say this a lot and people are probably like, oh yeah because you drank it.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, but it doesn't taste like 11.2%.
Speaker 1I was expecting it to be a much stronger boozy flavor, you know.
Speaker 2But it does. You get kind of that, excuse me that dryness at the end.
Speaker 1That gives you a little of that boozy feel you do get some, but it definitely seems to me like it's a little more mellow.
Speaker 2And I don't know if it's because of the honey if the honey knocks it down a little bit.
Speaker 1I agree with that I agree with that, but still it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2It is not bad, and you're not a honey guy anyway, no, but you can definitely taste it.
Speaker 1But in this instance it's not a detriment to me. It's a good combo with it. Yeah, it seems like it pairs really well, right, right, so that's good.
Speaker 2Read that description one more time. Okay, because it was the tobacco pipe. Tobacco, yeah, it said.
Speaker 1Honeybach, a German-inspired strong lager, gets brewed with copious amounts of honey Vienna, munich and caramel malt, after resting in bourbon barrels. This malty, rich, nutty and toasty brew picks up notes of vanilla, oak, almonds and pipe tobacco. I like it, Jeez man. You see, Look what you've been missing, ferg. No, I've been missing out, yeah.
Speaker 2No, I've been secretly drinking that behind your back.
Speaker 1I'm really upset now. That's good dude, that is good that is good, that is good. It's one of those you wouldn't want to have a six pack of it right sitting watching a game because you probably stand up and almost fall over, but but it's, it's definitely good. Like I said, I've had you remember um lexington brewing. They have like the kentucky bourbon barrel age.
Speaker 1What they got all the everything almost everything they do, I think, is like barrel age right. And and all the everything, almost everything they do, I think, is like barrel age Right. And a few years ago they had a honey barrel and I thought it was horrible. It just tasted I don't know. It was not good to me. Jim loved it. I thought it was terrible. Well, jim, loved it because you thought it was terrible. Because I thought it yeah.
Speaker 2You know, huh, I never thought of that. You've got to reverse psychology with it.
Speaker 1Exactly, If I hate it, then I've got to say I like it. He's going to say this is terrible, and I'm going to be like gotcha, we could do an experiment. Yes, we could.
Speaker 2Yes, we could the placebo you. Yeah right, just do a little experiment there you go, but this one is definitely my.
Speaker 1Whole point of that story was this one has better flavor than that one did. Is that right? Yeah, you know, I like it. It surprises me.
Speaker 2That it's. You know, when you're looking at different styles of beer and different combinations of flavors, and you know, I mean I love the stout, milk stout and everything, and I do. I have liked, you know, the barrel aged stuff. There's been a lot of great ones that I've had Right, and this, this one, this is just beyond a beginner beer. You know what I mean. Yep, if you're not into the craft beer thing, this won't. It's a little bit more, but it still isn't gonna.
Speaker 1I would say if somebody came to me and said, hey, I've never had a honey beer or I've never had a barrel-aged beer or something like that, would you recommend this or a 10%?
Speaker 2or something Right.
Speaker 1I'm not sure, just because of the 11% Right, because to me and I think, to you, I mean, like you said, you can taste kind of the bourbon but it's not overpowering or anything like that.
Speaker 2No no.
Speaker 1But I think and I definitely know we've had some other ones before that you can't even taste the bourbon, and I think that would be more of a way to dip your toe in.
Speaker 1Where this one, I think if you don't mind the flavor of bourbon, I would recommend it. You are right. But if you're totally like oh, I can't stand that, then I probably wouldn't recommend it. But for us, I mean, I think it's good and it's definitely a different animal, so to speak. It is, you know, it's not your normal, just hammer your home stout, kind of thing. It's a good change of pace, yeah. I like it, I agree. So what are you thinking on a score?
Speaker 2I, I gotta be. It's kind of two different beers. I love the coffee side, the one that we just did, yep the burrow, the burrow, yeah, the hop, and does part of it, um, but it's, it's a three, three, five, three five, yeah, all right I think the coffee thing might have edged me. Sure, a little bit, but for 11% it doesn't totally give you that alcohol taste. Oh my God, I just did a shot, it's not like that at all, it's a good one.
Speaker 1Yeah, personally I'm going to go like a 3.3. Like I said, I do think that it's a really nice change of pace to like a higher ABV barrel-aged beer. It's definitely like I said. It sure doesn't look like your normal barrel-aged beer, right, you know, and it had that honey color to it. You do get that flavor which, like I said, normally I'm not a big fan of. But boy, it works. In this one it sure did.
Speaker 2And yeah, I'm surprised because you were skeptical to start out with the honey side of it, and even you know, admit it, I'm not a honey guy no, so that it surprised me.
Speaker 1It's good. So, boy, I guess you know Brian there's our six beers. I'm going to put a little more in my glass. Yeah, go for it. We got some left there.
Speaker 2There, you know, brian, there's our six beers I'm going to put a little more in my glass.
Speaker 1Yeah, go for it. We got some left there. Might be another shot. So overall, I would say the two that I would say were definitely the best, I'd say the Honeybach and the Utter Punk. I think for me those are my top two. Sure, I think all of them were good. The most surprising one to me and I know I scored it kind of down a little bit lower was probably the sour honestly, I totally agree with you.
Speaker 2Yeah, that blew me away. Yeah, expecting it.
Speaker 1Yeah, totally yeah, and, like I said, I think pretty much any of these. If you're new to craft beer, anybody could try them. Yeah, like I said, the only one again is maybe that the Honey Bock might be a little high ABV for somebody that has never got into that.
Speaker 2I mean it does have the percentage of the alcohol, but the taste of it, especially on a barrel-age scenario, really doesn't kick your butt that way, Right? Yep, I agree 100%. It does have the alcohol, there's no doubt. Yeah, it's a great color. I mean, it looks beautiful man.
Speaker 1Yeah, it really does. It looks like honey. Yep, it's a good color. You know that color, I mean it's good. Honey, Yep, it's a good. You know that color, I mean it's good, Yep.
Speaker 2So yeah, shoot man. I was a little disappointed in the Tail Wager.
Speaker 1Yeah, I would agree, you know that. And even the Kana, I mean the Kana was not, I shouldn't say, disappointed, but that's Right, we refer to it as a lawnmower beer, where, if it's ice cold on a hot day, day you could you could drink it a couple of them, yeah easy.
Speaker 1Yep, you know, and like I said in in the sour, it surprised me. I I don't think I would drink more than one because I'd get heartburn yeah from it, but yeah, but yeah overall, that one blew me away, yeah yeah we gotta, we gotta bring that one back for jim.
Speaker 2We gotta make him.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure that the uh, the beer shop still has some, so I could get another can of it. Yeah, you should.
Speaker 2So it's yeah. I think he might even say something positive about that.
Speaker 1He might. Yeah, Jimbo Gannon.
Speaker 2You never know the Jimbo, like I said it is, it's coming right for us.
Speaker 1It's quite the story. So, yeah, so awesome man, well, well, hey, thank you so much for bringing me back, man yeah and, like I said, we're definitely going to have you back more because, uh, yeah, it's been a while, yeah, and we're gonna. We're gonna, like we said before, ladies and gentlemen, let us know if you'd be kind of interested in hearing the documentary talk and and trying some beers, because at times I think Jim loves to do trivia. He's very mean to me when it comes to the trivia stuff.
