Episode 9: Untappd Golf
We're always looking at fun and unique ways to try new beers and this one is one of our most favorite ideas we've ever had! In this episode we play what we are dubbing: Untappd Golf. Each of us visited a local bottle shop and grabbed a beer off the shelf without looking at its Untappd rating. The goal was to pick the lowest rated beer. The winner gets....bragging rights or something.

Episode 7: Off to Asheville without a corkscrew
Chris is back this week and he brought some goodies back from Ashville for us because we Venmo bombed him after he left. We tried a lot of tasty stuff all except for most of the Wicked Weed because they put corks under their caps and we were dumb and didn't have a corkscrew.

Episode 6: Who’s That Beer?
We were scratching our heads on what to do this week and Beth mentioned a time when she did a blind bottle share where everyone tried each other's beers without knowing what they were and it was really fun. Well, we did it and it was a blast! It's really interesting trying beers that you may or may not have had without knowing what they are or where they came from. It really allows you to be unbiased in your tasting. There were a few surprises across the board of what everyone bought including a big macro beer that surprised everyone.

Episode 5: Pumpkin Dump
We made it to October which means we can actually talk about Pumpkin beers and other alcoholic beverages. Some of us are very hard headed when we think it's time to talk about seasonal beers, but that's neither here nor there. What is here, though, is a handful of pumpkin beers, ciders, a hard seltzer, a whiskey and a few not so pumpkin, but still fall themed drinks.

Episode 4: Adventures of the gas station single cooler
We all ventured out this week in search of the most ridiculous alcoholic beverages. The only rules were that they had to come from a gas station single cooler and the can/bottle had to be larger than 16oz. Strap in, we're in for a wild ride.

Episode 2: Drink Your Cellar
There tends to be two mindsets when it comes to cellaring beer. Either do it or not. Some people say you should drink beer fresh and others say you should put that fancy barrel aged stout away for a year or so. We talk about what we think about cellaring and we crack open some beers from our own cellars. This was a super fun one with a huge variety of beers including one from a brewery that sadly no longer exists.
