It’s Valentine’s Day for all you lovers out there and nothing says that better than chocolate. At least that’s what our wives tell us. As our gift to the viewers we have just that today in the form of the Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout from Odell Brewing. Lugene is the name of…
We decided to kick of Seasonal Odell Brewing week in the simplest of ways. We start with a beer just called Red Ale. No crazy name or insane branding just two words to let you know what’s in the bottle, but if you know Odell beers like we do they are being modest.…
It is with much excitement that we bring the much sought after Hopslam from Bell’s Brewing to the tasting table. A winter seasonal that just began finding its way to store shelves within the last few weeks. Most double IPAs aren’t bashful when it comes to hops, but this one lets you know…
Normally a Hefeweizen is not the style of beer we gravitate toward this time of year. Not that it’s not a good one, but usually we are more on the lookout for the darker things that find there way to the shelves. All of that changes when a loyal listener to the show…

Rogue Brewing Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana Ale. I’m going to let that one sink in for a moment. Separately those three things are often mentioned when describing a beer and can be quite desirable depending on the style. A chocolate stout or nut brown or even a classic wheat…
After doing some extensive research (google), we discovered there are more breweries in the Las Vegas area then we thought. Maybe with all the other things people usually go to that town for the brewing culture gets lost. To help change that in some small way we have chosen the Hop Ride IPA…
Shipyard Brewing and their stable of beers are becoming a little easier to find as of late here in the southwest. They first won over our palates with the Pumpkinhead seasonal several years back. More recently they did it again with another pumpkin beer, the Smashed Pumpkin, which is part of the Pugsley’s…
Yet another beer finds its way to the tasting table that was picked up during Keith’s travels to San Francisco. All of the beers have been things we can’t find here in Arizona which adds not only a sense of excitement, but also sadness. It’s always great to be able to try new…
