Drinking Biddies: Recent Episodes
Keryl Brown & Jamie Tunkel
Do you want to like craft beer but don't know where to start? Do you feel like having a favorite Doppelbock will earn you street cred? (Wait. What's Doppelbock, again?) Drinking Biddies Keryl Brown and Jamie Tunkel will always drink a bottle on air, review it, tell stories, and discover a few things about beer along the way. They'll sometimes have guests and sometimes be antisocial. They're just two girls on a journey. A beer journey.
Disclaimer: If you're looking for boring, informational lectures about beer, move along. You won't find that here.
“I like Halloween as a celebration of Satan and evil. Big fan of that.”
Happy Halloween from The Biddies! We’re feeling super into spooky season this year, so enjoy our annual Fall/Halloween/Pumpkin episode at least two weeks earlier than it would normally release.
This year’s offering is a twist on the ubiquitous Cali Creamin’ -- featuring a can with the cutest lil’ flaming pumpkin that you ever did see! Jesse tells us about pulling off THREE group costumes in a single Halloween night. And, oh yeah, everything you know about cream ales might be wrong! Did this beer get us in the Halloween spirit, or are we flying the night sky on our broomsticks, still in search of the perfect blood sacrifice to quench our thirst… we mean beer, pumpkin beer, definitely beer, we only drink beer.

The first episode of 2024 is finally here! (Recorded… a while back. But let’s ignore that part.)
“2024 is awesome so far. I feel like that comment is not gonna age well.”
“I was double-fisting Goose and cran and my hands were never empty.”
“I need cameras on this show!”
We’ve had this one brewing for a while, pun intended!! Better late than never… right? Look, we are late to the party for the year but we showed up and that’s what matters. Okay, enough of that.
This episode features a fruited sour from a local brewery that we are absolutely gaga for – Crowns & Hops, which is Black-owned, Woman-owned, Veteran-owned, and dare we say… owning the craft beer space?
And we finally nabbed Acquah Dansoh, who regales us with tales of sneaking his first sip of beer, the chokehold that Heineken has on Ghana, and drinking... Zimas! Acquah dives into his journey to becoming a craft beertender and why you should ask your bartender more questions. No, really, ask questions. You just might find a drink you actually love!
He also tries to convince us to become YouTubers, and one of us was not having it…

Happy Holidays from the Biddies!!!
“Statistically people drink the most in Wisconsin and BOY do they let you know it!”
“I like the specialness of Christmas music. The fact that it only comes around every once in a while, like the McRib.”
For the first time since 2016, we welcome Grant Lyon back on the pod. Because when we think Christmas, we think Grant. Tune in for some Christmas tunes, Big Dad Energy, and some really big New Beers Resolutions (TM pending). Of course, we couldn’t say farewell to 2023 without a proper tribute to Anchor Christmas Ale. After a monumental 127 years, Anchor Brewing closed in 2023. We shed some tears, share some beers, and promise to cherish every brew with you. Be safe, and as always… thanks for drinking!

JAMIE: We should build a cannon in the shape of a giant beer and then we use the propulsion of the beer… to launch the pumpkin.
KERYL: I don’t think Jamie ever took physics.
BEN: Growing up a lot of my costumes were dictated by what my sister wanted to be. I was the Beast for like three years because she wanted to be Belle.

“You could say I get it from my mother, but I think my mother gets it from me.”
“You two gals inspired us to think about the beer universe more.”
“It’s as exciting to have a really great beer as it is a really fantastic bottle of wine.”
We’ve had dads of the pod, siblings of the pod, but on Episode 72 we finally land a Mom-of-the-Pod… she needs no introduction, but she got one anyway… the one, the only, Jackie Tunkel!
Jamie’s mom joins us for a blonde ale and regales us with tales of sipping sangria and singing at the bar back in her day. We discuss the very eye-catching label design and Jackie’s journey into the craft beer world, which was inspired by the Biddies.

Happy Halloween from the Biddies! This episode features our first (but certainly not our last) 100 percent gluten-free beer. Guest Tierney Drach – yes, that’s “Drach as in Dracula” – joins us for our annual spooky Halloween episode. And they might just be Halloween’s number 1 fan, so it’s a match made in… hell. (Get it? Get it?) No, seriously, Tierney got married at a haunted house in Vegas and tells us all about it! Plus we discuss the plot of the original Hocus Pocus and our best Halloween costumes.

“Most of my drinking stories actually come from Philly.”
We are BACK and BEER-ER than ever!
Listen, we recorded this episode several months ago but couldn’t get it to air until today and let us tell you… it is worth the wait.
Spoiler alert: This might be one of the highest rated beers we have ever had on the pod? This beer is pure art, and the artists are 3 Nipo-Brazilian Women Brewers -- Maíra Kimura, Yumi Shimada and Fernanda Ueno.
And you KNOW we matched this great pilsner with a GREAT GUEST. Jim Chaliz regaled us with some wild drinking stories, explained what it means to just order “the lager” in Philly, and told us about his life as a… secret boxer?!?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE BIDDIES!!!!!
2021 is almost over, but we couldn’t let the year go by without releasing our annual holiday episode!
We have a lively discussion about the absolutely gorgeous can design and an even livelier debate about the precise shade of white used in said design. (Is the can white white? Or white white white? Let us know what YOU think!)
BONUS SEGMENT: Last year we vowed to save a bottle of Anchor Brewing’s 2020 Christmas Ale and compare it to their 2021 release… tune in around the 48:30 minute mark for that extra special content!

Did you think a nearly 2 year pandemic could keep us from recording? Ummm, kind of, we haven’t recorded much. And in true 2021 fashion, disaster strikes – halfway through the episode we discover a scandalous Drinking Biddies first – we somehow drank expired beer?!?
But despite the expired beer, never fear loyal listeners, ’cause we are BACK, VAXXED, AND DRUNKER THAN EVER!

BIDDIES! We are so thrilled to have Ethan Siegler as our guest this week. This episode is long, but totally worth it. Ethan has an incredible knowledge of beer, and he explains many concepts in a way that is fun and easy to understand. We met Ethan when he interviewed us for his graduate thesis project in which he researched beer consumers. That’s right! BEER CONSUMERS! Like us! And you!

“I thought this was going to be a glass of mold.” – Jamie
The Biddies celebrate THREE YEARS of podcasting with their VERY FIRST HOME BREW -- an American Amber Ale -- that exceeds their expectations.
Thank you so much for joining us on our beer journey! Check out our Instagram (@drinkingbiddiespodcast) or Facebook page to see the “labels” we designed for our brew.
Hoppy Hanukkah! Beery Christmas! What beer pun can we make about Kwanza?! FRIENDS, BIDDIES, COUNTRYMEN... it's been a year. A year for thinking, a year for drinking, a year for more drinking.
On this episode, we send 2017 out with a BANG (a beer)! Actually, TWO beers. Guest Joey LePage stops by the studio to bid the year adieu. We review North Coast Brewing Cranberry-Quince Berliner Weisse, which tastes SUSPICIOUSLY like a cider (hmmmm, North Coast, want to fess up to something?) and Joey brings us a BONUS BEER: Mortal Kombat X Scorpion Imperial Stout.
The only thing more shocking than the fact that Mortal Kombat has BEERS is that this one is actually really, really good.
Biddies - it's been an honor, a pleasure, and a blast! Wow that year went fast! Here we are at last! We will be back in the new year with another full glass! (That last one was a stretch).
Be safe, be well, and as always, thanks for drinking!
XOXO THE BIDDIES
The Biddies FINALLY review a Doppelbock with guest Gideon Welles. Gideon joins them all the way from Taiwan (!!) and he brought a bonus beer (Taiwan beer). SUPER FUN FACT - Gideon (guest Biddie) and Keryl (resident Biddie) MADE A MOVIE. It's called AT ROAD'S END and you can learn more about it/check out the campaign here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/at-road-s-end-a-taiwanese-western-film-environment#/

“I didn’t really start drinking good beer until I went to Yeshiva.” - Iz
"JAMIE FORGOT TO PULL A QUOTE FOR KERYL BECAUSE JAMIE'S THE WORST BUT KERYL PROBABLY WON'T READ THIS." - (not) Keryl
On this super-fun episode of the pod, we drink/review/generally pontificate about BISON ORGANIC HONEY BASIL BEER, which you can buy in stores, and a VERY SPECIAL HOMEBREW FROM OUR GUEST AMELIA SIMS, which you can only get access to if you know Amelia. #SorryNotSorry #BeerForIt
What do you get when you have a CAROL BROWN and a KERYL BROWN (and a Jamie Tunkel but whatever about her) on a podcast? You get THIS!
It's summertime and the livin' is... peachy? Amanda Barber joins the Biddies for a fun and fascinating discussion about Thailand, beer, and everything in-between.
In the studio on April 1, we pull a fast one on first-time guest Lucas X.... and we got him SO GOOD. This episode is dedicated to all the men who ask us if we've heard of the "amazing craft beer Blue Moon" ......... Lucas, thanks for being a sport, and for never asking us if we've heard of Blue Moon. Disclaimer: No disrespect to Blue Moon drinkers. All disrespect to people who ONLY drink Blue Moon.

CAN YOU CRUSH?!? The hilarious, charming, effervescent, and just downright delightful KIRAN S. joins us to get to the bottom of this very, VERY important question. The verdict? WE CAN CRUSH!!! Oh, we crushed all right. This week on the 'ol pod we drank an offering from 10 Barrel Brewing Co. -- CUCUMBER CRUSH.
In this crazy special and utterly unique episode of the podcast, the Drinking Biddies join forces with the lovely ladies of We Love Lucy (Allison Wierema, Corinne Eckart, and Molly Lyons). They all drink Drake’s Denogginizer AND discuss “Lucy Does a TV Commerical” – you know, the Vitameatavegamin episode. You can check out the episode on Hulu, buy the beer at stores and places where beer and such is sold, and you should also take a gander at the We Love Lucy podcast because they have so many great episodes.
We hope you enjoy this zany cross-over! Thanks for Drinking! And thanks for Watching! And thanks for just being AWESOME!
On the 39th episode of the show, we welcome SHELDON WHITE to discuss Samurai Rice Ale. Great Divide retired the Samurai in 2012, but brought him back for good just last year (2016)! Should they have? We discuss right here. LISTEN. DRINK. REPEAT. (But within reason. Be safe. Etc.)
BIDDIES! This is a SOUR IPA. We repeat, a SOUR IPA. WHAAAAT??!?!??! Comedian Keegan Cotton joins the Biddies (aka Keryl & Jamie) on this super sudsy ep, as they all dive into this conundrum of beer. Drink. Listen. Repeat.
It's 2017! New year, new beer. Ruhstaller The Kenyan with the marvelous and mesmerizing Aaron Keeling. Thanks for drinking!
In the final episode of 2016, the Biddies spread HOLIDAY CHEER with guest Alex Convery by DRINKING BEER (lamest rhyme everrrrrrr)! Make sure to listen to the end for our -- wait for it -- New BEERS Resolutions. Yes, we punned that. No matter what or how you celebrate, we send you our warmest wishes for a super (and sudsy) holiday season. Cheers!

Keryl and Jamie drink St. Archer's White Ale in a special episode of Drinking Biddies recorded in San Diego, the craft beer capital of California (or possibly the country.)
Jamie and Keryl's first beer is an American Amber brewed in their own city, Los Angeles. They will drink the beer, review it, and talk about when they first started drinking beer. You can find this beer at Whole Foods and drink along with them (if you are of legal drinking age and not operating heavy machinery).
