Episode 51: Marky Mark Poured COffee On BLANK At New Glory
Here’s an audio postcard: brand new microphones. a brand new mixer, and not enough power to handle any of it. Ended up re-recording on the phone… and sending a bunch of crap back. Who doesn’t include an AC power jack in an electronic device? Really, Marantz? Thankfully, our host was abnormally patient and the beer was… well, it was awesome. So, a toast! To return labels, beer labels, beer art, Marky Mark, The Great British Baking Show, Match Game, Gene Rayburn, Bert Kaempfert, and Jared Long at New Glory Brewing. Click HERE for the podcast episode! And the answer to the above is “roasted malts.” Why? What were you thinking?

Promises chocolate smoothness with roasted barley
Dan Scott: Not getting what’s promised. FAIR

Ex Novo “Mountains and Mountains” Imperial 10.2%
The can art is of the neon variety. Do we like it? Or is it a test pattern gone awry?
Jared: What noise? That’s just the ringing of Marky Mark turned up to 11. Nothing to hear…here. Beer’s balanced. Feel the vibration VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT
Bob: That song still gets me. GOOD/VERY GOOD Aftertaste brings it down.
Dan: What do you get when. VERY GOOD
