Malort Years Eve // #119

We ask ourselves sometimes why we do it...we do it for you! This episode the gang tried a bunch of Malort variants from Chicago and we also infused 2 of our very own bottles. One candy cane and one Slim Jim. Macho Man should be rolling over in his grave right now. Happy New Years fam! It's all downhill from here for us.

  • Man The Harpoons! // #118

    Yeah, we messed up. We recorded this episode like 2 months ago and here we are...It's December and the year is almost over. Anyways, this show we have a little treat. We have one whale from the west coast and one whale from the east coast. Which beer comes out on top? Listen in and see! We have beers provided by the wonderful Beth who had just got back from a trip to Colorado as well as our friends David and Matt!

  • We’re Three! // #117

    It's been a whiiiiile. We couldn't let our 3rd birthday pass up without a show! Chris and Josh hold down the fort while Bryan gets married and Beth is in Colorado. AND we have a bonus guest! This show we throw it back to the OG theme we do about this time every year, Oktoberfest beers! Thank you all for supporting the show for 3 years even though we've been slacking this year.

  • Summer Bangers Vol 2 // #116

    It's that time again. The summer heat is here and it's time to cool down with some summer bangers! Chris, Bryan and Josh bring some of their current summer bangers to share with the class. We also forgot cups so we just drank full beers. We also invited Chris's neighbor onto the show because he was mowing the lawn so what better way to get him to stop than offer him a beer and a microphone!? Crack open a beer and enjoy Summer Banger Vol 2!

  • Chris’s Favorite Show //#115

    Welcome to another installment of the greatest show on Earth! This one is Chris's favorite show where the gang tries to bring the beer that Chris likes the best. Some went with the freshest IPA they could find, others went for the heart. See who came out on top!

  • We’re Aliiiiiiiiiiive // #114

    We're aliiiiiiiiiiive! The whole gang is back together for this much anticipated return to podcasting. Life just gets in the way sometimes, but it was great to get everyone back together for some shenanigans! This show doesn't really have a theme persay, but Beth and Josh had some things that they had been saving, Chris brought some goodies and Bryan brought nothing which is par for the course. Sit back, relax and grab yourself a beer!

  • Chris and Josh are blasting off again! // #113

    Chris and Josh are back for another amazing iteration of the Chris and Josh Show where they blast off (topic) again! This show the name of the game was mix packs, Josh brought one from Voodoo Brewing and Chris grabbed one from Toppling Goliath. Some were bussin, some were not....some were really old. We had some great topic conversations leading into some off the rail comedy and then the train completely left the tracks by the end. If you want to get on this ride known as Shift Beers we recommend you grab yourself a beer for this one.

  • Spaghettaboutit // #112

    Hey you....spaghettaboutit! This week the gang sits down and spaghetts some craft beers (among other things) to see who brought the best non traditional spaghett! What is a spaghett you ask? Traditionally you take a High Life bottle, take a swig out of it and then drop a half a shot to a full shot of Campari into it. It's a nice little refreshing drink with the added bitterness and citrus from the Campari. We found out over last year that other things tasted great spaghetted as well so we decided to explore it on the show!

  • Fat Tires and Fat IPAs // #111

    You know as we say....it's been a while! One week Josh was sick, then some of us went to Buffalo, NY to watch some NFL action, but now we're back! This is a comeback show with a light side of IPAs, a lot of Fat Tires and a lot of fuckin' nerd talk. Get in here, crack a beer and kick back with Shift Beers!

  • Esoteric Brewing at Jungle Jim’s Pint Night // #110

    This week Shift Beers cosplays as Cincy Brewcast as we take the show on the road to the Esoteric Brewing pint night at Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield. This show was shorter than normal, extremely chaotic, but amazingly fun. (We really need to use headphones next time so we can hear ourselves and not talk over each other) We chat with Brian Jackson CEO/Co-Founder/Head Brewer and our friend Anique Thomas Assistant Brewer at Esoteric Brewing. We ask them to pick their favorite Esoteric beer, get Brian's craft beer origin story and talk about whether a lunch/dinner meal is dunch or linner. We sincerely hope you enjoy the chaos that is episode 110!
