Episode 3: The Beer Show

Our third episode, from the tasting room at Clarkehead Brewery, is dedicated to Beer. Download it here. Amazingly for a beer show we didn't get too hosed. Given that, I wonder if you can still consider it a beer show.

Before we get to the beer however, it's obvious that Gonso is either: a) Taking Viagra or b) Considering taking Viagra.

Highlights:

• Clarkehead IPA vs. Stone IPA. Not fair at all. It's like making Chris Rock fight Mike Tyson.
• The Bratwurst experiment (bad idea)
• Clarkehead's Monkey's Dunkle tasting, and the early days of Clarkehead Brew
• Gonso's English lesson for the day
• Clarkehead Black Cat Milk Stout vs. Widmer Snow Plow Milk Stout. Again, an unfair comparison.
• Dawg needs to get a refund on his laser eye surgery.


My apologies up front for getting a little geeky with the technical details of making beer. It really could have been much worse, but the guys reeled me in quite a bit - much to your benefit.

That is sooooo not fair! You guys talk about all the beers that are now sitting in my fridge... I want to hit that Black Cat right now!!!

Yes, we got the "Care Package". I think the UPS driver had a workmans comp. claim after trying to get that to the house!

Ep 3 is great. Best quality recording yet. I think Gonzo and his "Deer in the headlights" attitude is growing on me the most. You cant practice that! Its from the heart.

Great all the way around guys, thanks for the love!

Thanks Groucho. Feel free to tap that Black Cat any time next week - just not too cold.

I wondered if Gonso was really ready for "Dude Night." Then we strapped two electrodes to his hands and sent voltage into his body. Now I know he's ready.

But that's the next show. If you thought he's been coy up to this point, Episode 4 is his "coming out" party. Old Sparky is our new friend.

Just doing a little popping around tonight and found the blog and listened to Episode 3. I'm one of the midwest homebrewers you were talking about. I have 4 different beers on draft in my bar in the basement. I wish I could join you guys at one of your tastings or have you here sometime. Fun show to listen to. I'll be sure to listen to more! :)
