Episode 151 : The Sara Show!

Nick and Sara sit down this week and drink! We talk about Friday the 13th and scary movies. We try not to steal too much thunder from Halloween is Forever. Sara recounts her scariest movies of her childhood, including Poltergeist and The Ring. Nick brings up The Faculty as a horror movie for some reason? After we talk about X-Files, we transistion back to beer. For TIPA Thursday Nick is drinking the Four Points 4.3 anniversary Triple IPA. We re-cap our week at Wigle whisky on Thursday, followed by the Necromancer x Millie’s collab on Friday night. Coffee ice cream and an oatmeal stout were the perfect pairing, according to Nick. Both Nick and Sara love Necromancer’s beer. Saturday was a low key night, but we made up for it on Sunday with an exciting day of visiting a bunch of breweries! Necromancer was first (with a little tour from Scottro) and the Wild Child pop up brunch, along with the Fueled by Hops giveaway from Sunday. Next on the list was Voodoo Homestead for the Zangief bottle pick up and a draft. After that, we obviously hit Dancing Gnome. Then finally, we went grocery shopping. After that we stopped at Four Points taproom before heading home. For dinner we went back out to Eleventh Hour to track down The Boonseek. We talk about our upcoming events and what’s going on. We talk about Barrel and Flow taking a hard stand on COVID protocols. We wrap with plugging the upcoming festivals and then revisit the Friday the 13th movies to finish off episode 151.

Thanks to Breweries in PA for the follow this week! 
Ending pride month with:
Beer #1: Unicorn Farts DIPA - Voodoo Brewing (Meadville, PA) Thanks Sean P of Untappd Fame! Nick and Alex enjoyed it and Sara wasn’t impressed. Bitter but cloudy and sweet. Made with Australian hops.
Alex and the drag show (The Blue Ball - Blue Moon, Pittsburgh, PA)
What the kids are doing this week: Lactose in all the beers!
There’s a lot of opinions on the price of beer.
Nick has a bodily function issue. 
The can release craze is hitting everyone hard.
Nick went to Shubrew (Zelienople, PA) for Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start (Pixelated IPA Series).
Jake’s segment of the week: When will the bubble burst for breweries opening?
Alex served Narcisi wine (Gibsonia PA) at Butler Beer Fest. 
Alex went to Reclamation Brewing (Butler PA)
Beer #2: Llucid Llama - Grist House (Millvale PA) Better than Manatee, lots of hop flavor, a little more bitter but still a great hazy DIPA.
Jake’s New Segment: Favorite food to go with beer!
This question leads into the discussion on beer dinners/beer pairings.
Beer #3: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start - Shubrew. A little beefy, hazy IPA. Hop forward and a crisp drinker.

Podcast 12 - Beer is for drinking

Podcast 17 - Lustra Day and Beer Fest Weekend!

Beer #1: Platform Beer Co - Seeing Sounds Small Batch IPA (6.2%) Very light, dry, and has a more hop forward flavor than a NE style IPA. 
We discuss Sam Adams and their foray into styles outside their standard beers.

Beer #2: Stillwater Artisanal Ales - Nutropic IPA with Mango and Passionfruit (6%) Sour feel but not actually a sour. Interesting feel and light drinking. 
Alex researched Stillwater. They don’t have their own brewery but they brew on other people’s systems and can through a Brooklyn establishment who cans and distributes their beer. They’re very in touch with their social media as well, and we love them.
Lustra Day! - The line was INSANE! 400+ people in line before 9 am. The line shares were flowing and Dancing Gnome was on their game! They took care of everyone and they had a surprise tapping of Black Clouds Breakfast which was amazing! Each beer was incredible and worth the time spent in line and the bar was moving smoothly and everyone seemed to be in great spirits. 
We discussed our disgust with line jumpers again. 
We picked up Urban Evidence from Hitchhiker after Lustra Day and it is a killer DIPA.
Alex worked at The 13th Annual North Country Brewfest pouring wine. He got to hangout with a bunch of local, mostly western PA breweries. His favorite of the day was Missing Link from Ellwood City, PA - Tropical Mist IPA
Beer #3: Voodoo Brewing - Unicorn Farts NE IPA (8.2%) This one doesn’t really have enough flavor for as sought after as it was. Its smooth but not a lot of flavor to really keep you interested. 
We’ll be focusing on segments next week and some more broad beer topics with some research done.

Podcast 17 Lustra Day and Beer Fest Weekend!

Podcast 23: Nobody likes you when you’re 23! 
The Michael Jordan episode starts off with a bang of a conversation. 
Beer #1 (Boston) : Half Acre Vallejo (6.7% IPA) Jake found Half Acre in Boston. Surprise, we’re enamored with the can design. Jake really liked the beer overall
Beer #1 (in the studio) : Fruity Nuggets - 450 North (DDHIPA 7.2% Columbus, IN) Shout out to @kushisforlosers for the hook up with this Hazy IPA from out west. Golden color, fruity nose and a citrusy taste. Alex loves the can design on this one too. 
This week find Nick and Alex at Drag Bingo at Couch Brewery on 9/19 from 7:30-9:30! 
Alex went to the Baja 1000 can release at Couch on Friday. 
Jake is still wanting Backlash Brewing to open! (Here’s a hint: They are doing a soft (extremely soft) open on Thursday 9/20)
9/30 - The Weekly ReCap at Couch Brewery! Slight change here, we’ll be doing a live podcast from the brewery, but it’ll be after they close so submit your questions for the brewer Cary and we’ll make sure to ask him!
Jake had a few beers this week that he never had before. 
We discuss the nuanced style of Oktoberfest biers. 
Beer #2 (in studio) : Glitter Parts Pineapple - Levante Brewing (NEIPA - 7.0%) Alex loves this beer. It tastes like straight up pineapple juice. Nick doesn’t love it.
Nick and Sara’s anniversary took them to a new spot in Lawrenceville called Walter’s Southern Barbecue. Go check these guys out. Amazing food and a great tap list. 
Beer #2 (Boston) : Bright w/ Citra - Treehouse (Citra NEIPA - 7.2%)
Hair watch 2018 is back! Jake has been growing it back out. 
Jake and Nick discuss fall beers/oktoberfest beers.
Beer #3: Purp the Magic Dragon - Burley Oak (Dragonfruit/Stone Fruit Sour Ale 4.4%) Super sour and very juicy. Easy drinking and not much alcohol taste due to the light ABV.  
Jake plays devil’s advocate and wants to see the bubble burst and craft beer growth will settle out. 
We also hit on beer sitting on a shelf and not getting the product that the brewery wants you to have. 


Have a good week and send in your questions for Couch Brewery!
