Season 2 :: Episode 8 :: Quit Your Whining

Here on Dude Night, we've taken many chances. We talked about sitting down to pee before we even knew who was listening. Clarke's confessed to watching Oprah with his wife. Dawg & Gonso have admitted they enjoy things that women do that Clarke does not. Hell, just a few episodes ago, we played country music.

So we decided to take it one step further. We did a wine show. Not one drop of beer, just wine. O-Man, Dawg and Gonso provide some careful insight on the wines, as well as suggestions for food pairings.

To provide a balancing act, we discuss boxing, hangovers, lots of sports (yes, there's a game involved), and Clarke reads a touching letter he wrote to Stone Brewing. The question remains - did he send it?

In regards to wine, we start with a 2004 Sanford Pinot Noir, which was very smooth. Then we move to a 2005 Barrel 27 Syrah, which was even better - punchier. Things get a little fuzzy after this. We drink a Zinfandel none of us can remember the name of, then some merlot blend that I don't even recall. It was great though, you should get some.

Listen to the downward spiral of "Quit Your Whining" here.

Music by The Crystal Method. Special thanks to Groucho and CHUD from The Beer Report, and to our good friend Don for providing an excellent bottle of Pinot Noir for the show.

Cheers, and thanks again for your continued support of Dude Night, and the Beer Safari - it's a jungle out there.

Border Patrol

Dude Night presents a new game show that celebrates the import beer that made American beer great. We call it "Border Patrol."

Imports essentially paved the way for American Craft Breweries, so we thought it might be a good idea to see how good we really are.

Here's how it works: Take one import beer, and try to fool your friends into thinking it's American by placing it against two American craft brews. Can your friends successfully protect the border and determine which beer immigrated? It may not be as easy as you think.

Let's see if Hog Dawg and Gonso are up to the task. Download "Border Patrol" here and see how they did.




Cheers, and Happy Independence Day America!!!!
