Send a text Peach can be either a perfect flavor note or a total dealbreaker, and we put that to the test with Sunpath Lager with Peach from Alesmith Brewing Company. We talk straight tasting notes from the first sip: real peach character, a surprising “canned peach” nostalgia hit, and that weird metallic finish you can’t un-notice once you name it. If you like fruited lagers, summer beer, and honest beer ratings, this pour is a fun one to compare against whatever’s in your fridge. Then we z...
Send a text A light beer just earned a perfect ten and knocked our old favorites off the throne. We opened Pabst Light expecting a throwback macro and found a crisp, balanced lager with real flavor, clean finish, and the same 96-calorie footprint you expect from an everyday sipper. We pulled it apart next to Bud Light and Michelob Ultra, talked sweetness, mouthfeel, and price, and asked the only question that matters: would you actually buy a 12-pack and live with it? Our answer surprised us....
Send a text Two beers. Two moods. One tasting that proves order matters as much as flavor. We kick off with Flannery’s Irish Style Red Ale, a 5.5% pour built on European caramel and dark base malts. It’s all toasted bread, light caramel, and an easy finish that makes sense for St. Paddy’s Day and any night you want a reliable, sessionable red. We talk price ranges, four-pack value, and why this can outperforms bigger-name reds like Killian’s, while landing closer to the clean balance of Smith...
Send a text A beer that smells like dessert and drinks like an espresso martini? We crack open a white chocolate espresso coffee stout from Boss Dog and it absolutely sings—silky coffee, a touch of sweetness, and an easygoing 5.5% ABV that keeps conversation loose and lively. Then we switch gears to a hazy IPA from Collision Bend that threads the needle between fruit-forward aroma and a clean grapefruit finish, landing in that sweet “all day” zone while still bringing a sturdy 6.2% punch. Be...
Send a text The can hissed, the foam surged, and suddenly our studio floor was a caramel-colored slip ‘n slide. That’s how a rye whiskey barrel-aged Scottish ale made its entrance—and somehow still earned a near-perfect score. Before the chaos, we crack open Dragonheart, an apple mead with cherry and raspberry, and discover a curveball: more sparkling cider than sour bite, with apple upfront and cherry lingering on the finish. It’s bright, fun, and sneaky-strong, the kind you keep on hand for...
Send a text Two beers, two moods, and one very honest split. We crack a Masthead Midwest Red IPA expecting a hint of caramel, only to be met with a grapefruit surge and a stubborn bitter finish that divides our panel. One of us gets a sharp, almost chemical edge and heavy carbonation; the other appreciates the hop punch and rides with it. If you’ve ever argued over an IPA at the table, you’ll feel seen here, especially when we unpack how “red” sets malt expectations that “IPA” promptly bulldo...
Send a text Hit play for a wild mix of fresh YouTube energy, honest beer reviews, and storm-smart survival tips that could actually help when the power blinks. We went from cables and camera confusion to pouring two unforgettable beers: Nugget Nectar, a red-ale crossover that drinks like a friendly IPA, and Death’s Tar, a bourbon-barrel bruiser that smacks with baker’s chocolate and heat. One earns a rare perfect score on camera. The other? Let’s just say if you love big oak and bigger bite, ...

Send a text A peach label promised sunshine. The pour delivered wheat. That’s where our night starts—expectations versus reality, how labels shape first sips, and the simple tricks that can rescue a subtle beer: the right glass, a slice of peach or orange, and a little patience. We get honest about why some wheat beers are easy on the palate but tough on the gut, and why “fruit” on a can doesn’t always mean fruit on the tongue. Then the lights dim and the mood shifts. We pop Goose Island Bou...
Send a text Snow piled up outside and we cracked open Ellicottville’s holiday variety to see what stuck. The “sugar cookie” ale promised vanilla and bakery warmth, but our palates landed on semi-sweet green tea with a syrupy hint, sparking a real talk about flavor names, expectations, and how seasonal beer labels set you up before the first sip. From there we mapped out our path to video: quick reels now, smart gear later, and a steady cadence built on honest reactions at the table rather tha...
Send a text Sleigh bells are packed away, but the glasses are out, starting with Kringle Juice from Big Ditch Brewing—a hazy IPA that looks like Christmas and drinks like clean citrus and pine. We dig into the aroma, that first juicy hit, the subtle dryness as it warms, and why it stacks next to Elvis Juice without feeling like a clone. At 7% ABV and easygoing bitterness, it’s a quiet holiday hero for anyone who wants a festive can and a year-round flavor. The chat opens up from there. We tr...
Send a text Two dark beers, one chaotic studio, and numbers we never thought we’d see. We kick things off with Abita’s Office Party, a holiday stout that keeps cocoa and caramel in balance without drowning the palate in sugar. The early sips are silky and clean, which sparks a conversation on why the “one-sip challenge” rarely tells the full story—and why the first quarter of a can is where a beer truly reveals itself. Then we unwrap a listener gift and tumble into a new party game that dema...
Send a text New chairs, new angles, new energy—sometimes the best stories start with a messy studio and a cold can. We invite you into the room as we nudge tables, fix camera lines, and crack two beers that couldn’t be more different: a tart, jaw-tingling black raspberry fruit ale from Urban Artifact and a silky, balanced Peanut Butter Porter from Saugatuck Brewing. Both earn rare 10s from us, for very different reasons—one bright and berry-forward with sour vibes, the other smooth and creamy...
Send a text The night starts with a pour that looks like burnished copper and tastes like old-world craft: a Belgian imperial Christmas ale with caramel, marzipan, peach, and that signature Belgian yeast bite at 12% ABV. We talk through why it works—fermentation-driven spice, a dry finish that reins in sweetness, and the way a tulip glass unlocks aroma—before pulling back the curtain on our plan to bring cameras into the mix. Chairs were assembled, cables wrangled, and we share how we’ll keep...
Send a text The label promised berry jam; our glasses screamed butterscotch. We cracked open Great Lakes Brewing’s Cookie Exchange milk stout expecting a sweet, fruity holiday twist and instead found caramel, coffee, and a full-on Werther’s vibe. After a pre-show feast and one too many smoothie-style pours at a local favorite, we got honest about why pastry stouts can overwhelm a full palate and when a single dessert beer is the right move. Then we reset with Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome Ale...
Send a text Two holiday beers, one wild night. We crack open a chocolate peppermint bark stout that drinks like grown-up cocoa, then tackle an 11% cherry Belgian strong ale dressed up with a champagne cork—and yes, we found glass shards in two corks. That surprise detour turns into a quick safety PSA, an email to the brewery, and practical tips for opening corked beer bottles without bleeding on your bar towel. Once the adrenaline fades, we dig into tasting notes: how peppermint plays with st...
Send a text A silky oatmeal cream pie stout that surprises with balance. An 11% tiramisu coffee stout that seduces with cocoa and espresso but leans sweet. And a brewery road story that proves awards can’t fix bad hospitality, while a friendly bar down the street can turn an average pint into a memorable night. That’s the ride we take as we crack open Whole Hog’s 8% Imperial Stout and Saunder’s OTTO brewed with Script Coffee, weighing keepers versus one-and-dones and where each beer truly shi...
Send a text Two seasonal beers. One big question: cozy malt comfort or piney hop punch. We kicked off with Abita Pecan Ale, a Louisiana classic built on roasted pecans, pale malt, and caramel malt. The aroma brought nutty warmth, the palate leaned earthy and brown-ale smooth, and as it warmed we noticed a drier finish. It instantly conjured camping nights and flannel weather, and we landed on a confident eight for flavor, balance, and seasonal fit. Then we cracked Alesmith’s Yule Smith Doubl...

Send a text Fall tastes better when the first pour surprises you and the second one lingers. We kick off spooky season with a road trip to Dented Keg in Clearfield, PA, where river views meet a flight that actually teaches you something about the brewery’s range. The standout is a cherry-driven sour that nails the beginner’s balance—refreshing, not too tart, and clean enough to sip all night. We talk price shock on giant tots, why some pumpkins go “perfumey,” and how to spot the one you’ll wa...
