Back in 2014 as part of our annual pumpkin beer podcast we tried the Southern Tier Brewing Company Pumking Imperial Ale but until we watched that episode again we had forgotten exactly how we felt about it.
With the onset of September (and in some cases even August) your local beer shop starts to see the addition of pumpkin and Oktoberfest style beers.
We would like to say that we had planned in advance to have a bourbon for the first podcast of September since it is National Bourbon Heritage Month, but that would not be true.
There have been times where the arrival of a beverage to Trader Joe’s has either inspired us to plan for a future podcast or has saved us at the last minute because we still hadn’t figured out what we would be trying the next day.
It is no secret that we are big fans of sour beers. There are a multitude of styles including Flanders Red, gose, Berliner Weisse, and lambic to name a few.
On a recent visit to California, Andrew discovered a local distillery that was very close to where he was staying.
For this week’s show we will be trying something from one of our favorite spirits categories and it comes highly recommended from someone who has never led us astray.
We are always happy when we receive suggestions about beverages that we should try. We are even happier when that suggestion is accompanied by an actual sample of the beverage itself.
For over a year now, one of our favorite new breweries (to us) has been Drekker Brewing Company.
At first glance a beer that makes a flavor connection to cereal might seem a little strange.
