Dec 5 – My wife’s appreciation of Sours
Ross and Brittany try a few sour beers, including one we tried recently, but end up with the “Bad Pickup Limes” from Truro Brewing Co, and the Mango Dragonfruit sour from Garrison, but also re-visit the Cherry Sour from Lazy Bear Brewing.

Nov 28 – Some discontinued Lagers
We clean out the closet to try some lagers, 2 of which are from now discontinuing breweries, Serpent and Uncle Leo’s. The third comes from Boxing Rock, which is NOT discontinued, but we lament many of the losses we’ll experience from the first two.

Nov 21 – Dunkel and Weizen
Ian and Ross learn that you can combine a Dunkel and Weizen and you get… a dunkelweizen. Both Annapolis Brewingand Satlbox have one to try, Ross’ voice is still not at its best, but he makes up for by accidentally leaving Ian on mute for nearly 25 minutes. Choice professionalism right here.

Ian and Ross try two stouts, the Wolf Hall Stout from Paddy’s Pub Brewery, and the Twinkle Pony Tiramisu Stout from North Brewing. This attempts to answer a very old, anecdotal question in my family… can a wolf beat up a pony?

Oct 10 – Sour Cherried Sours
Ross and Brittany get back to sours and try two Sour beers. The Sour Cherry (potentially kettle soured) from Lazy Bear Brewing and the Quench! Cherry Sour from Candid Brewing. Our son tries to become part of the show as well, which is why it’s a shorter episode this week.

Oct 3 – American Pale Ales
Ian and Ross try a couple of APAs from Annapolis Brewing Company and Nine Locks Brewing, as it seems to be a less scathing flavour profile. Or at least it is meant to, we think.

Sept 26 – Brown Ales and ‘words that sound dirty but actually aren’t’
Ian and Ross choose the lower-percentage Brown Ales (if you call 5.0 ‘low’) and then Ian breaks out the thesaurus. Lazy Bear Brewing’s Honey Brown Ale and the Hub Town Brown Ale from Truro Brewing.
