Episode 69: Father’s Day

Oreos, sardines, and scotch…not in any of this episode’s beers, but they definitely went into our fathers’ stomachs. This episode celebrates family, fathers, and…what’s another word for this particular episode that can be read the same right side up and upside down and starts with “F”? Got it! Free-range chicken! Chris Knapp, Glenn Crim, and Mixmaster/Mixologist Bob Moffitt are your hosts with special appearances by Chumbawamba, Gary Wright, Mr. Magoo, White Snake, Nirvana, and AC/DC.

E-9 and Upright Brewing “Snakehips” Dry Irish 4.2% abv

Bob: Can-wise, thanks for nothing. Thin. Super light. Not dazzling, but GOOD/VERY GOOD

Chris: Looking for Guinness. Dry. GOOD

Glenn: Easy-drinking. GOOD

Stormbreaker “Opacus” Oatmeal 5% abv

Chris: Art is my life. Think double wide and Twister. I’m getting. GOOD. Hoped for more.

Bob: Can art is confusing. Label is great. Looking for toffee, cocoa, and coffee. Three NW hops varieties. Getting some bitterness. GOOD.

Glenn: Is this a coffee or oatmeal? Hoping for more. GOOD.

Single Hill “Peated Reserve Overstory” Barrel-Aged Imperial 12.9% abv 30 IBUs

Bob: Different barrels of whiskey=different tastes? Interesting idea. Too much fire for me. Good taste though. GOOD.

Glenn: I was hoping for booze and got it, maybe too much of it. Mass transit, here we come. VERY GOOD>

Chris: Good sipper. Not overpowering. VERY GOOD. Not boozy enough? Try this little trick I learned from my wine snob friends.

Abomination “Midnight Snack” Barrel-Aged Pastry 14% abv 16 IBU

Glenn: I have questions and no answers. Too sweet. Peppermint bomb. POOR. Offensive can art.

Bob: Glenn is just bitter because of life in the rain. Chocolate, peppermint, coffee, whipped cream? Sign me up! Comes in waves. Let me tell you story about my skin separating. Digging the can art. EXCELLENT. Sneaky.

Chris: I just like watching Glenn suffer. GOOD. Pleasantly surprised. Too strong.
