Brittany joins Ross, and are also joined by Tom, in order to try explain why people like sours. Ross still doesn’t get it, but tries anyway, comparing the ‘Let’s Jam Rasberry Lemon’ from Breton with the ‘Sound Track Sour’ from Burnside Brewing.
Ian and Ross try some reds, and learn the difference between an American Red Ale, the ‘Temptation Red’ from Boxing Rock, and a typical Irish Red Ale, the ‘Ready Yer Knot’ Red from Big Spruce. Ross also finds a spider.
Ian and Ross try a couple of dark lagers (one of which was a schwartzbier), one from North Brewing, and one from Uncle Leo’s, but then get caught up in a challenge of who can perform the worst Michael Caine Impression.
Ian and Ross try the “Bar Dog Stout” from Horton Ridge Malt House, as it was described as “the best stout in NS” and compare it to “Incident 67” Salted Caramel Stout from Roof Hound Brewing Co.
Ian and Ross drink some brews from Lunn’s Mill and chat with brewmaster Sean Ebert. The Purple Grain IPA, ‘Girl Hold My Earrings” Berliner Weisse, and the Caber Crusher Stout.
Ross is joined by Kelsey Saunders, of Bad Apple Brewhouse, to decide if Annapolis Brewing Co’s “Bad Apple Box Cutter IPA” is as good as the original, and comparing it to the “Townie Overpass Syndrome” NEIPA from Serpent Brewing, because we needed a second one, and I like those guys.
Ian and Ross are joined by Stephen Heisler from Big Spruce, who talks us through many things, including the “Hoom is Where the Heart is” English Pub Ale, “John Lemon” Hard Lemonade, and the “Tag You’re It” Apex IPA.
Ian and Ross try some of the new Summer Ales for 2023, we compare Breton Brewing’s SMASH session ale VS Propeller Brewing Company’s Tropic Haze summer ale.
Brittany joins Ross to review Sour Ales from Roof Hound and 2 Crows, and so does their 3-month-old son. The audio is a little different because we had to factor in parenting. The “Thyme to Grow a Pear” VS the “Jamboree – Mango, Coconut, & Vanilla”.
Ian and Ross get a couple of Milk Stouts to see if they’re as good as previous attempts to drink a milk stout. There is unrest as they compare North Brewing’s “Headline” and Roofhound’s “Handsome Devil”, which is a coffee milk stout.
