Drinking Socially - The Official Untappd Podcast: Recent Episodes

Untappd, Jonathan Dispenza, Harrison Hickok

A look into what’s happening at Untappd and in the world of beer.

We drink new beers every episode and add them to the #DrinkingSocially badge on Untappd. You're welcome to drink along with us and compare notes, submit feedback in the Facebook group, and share in some beer education, or laughter with us every Wednesday.

Season 5, Episode 8 - In this week's episode of Drinking Socially, hosts Harrison Hickok and Kyle Roderick chat with Sierra Nevada's Innovation Supervisor, Isaiah Mangold, and Product Manager, Terence Sullivan. 'Tis the season for drinking Celebration - Sierra Nevada's Fresh Hop IPA - so kick back, crack one open and learn all about the history of this widely-beloved ale.

In this week's special episode of Drinking Socially, hosts Harrison Hickok and Kyle Roderick chat with Firestone Walker Co-Founder David Walker about how this iconic twenty-six year old brewery continues to innovate, their growing focus on sustainability, and the constant pursuit of the perfect beer.

Our guest on this week’s episode is Sam Tierney, Manager of The Propagator - Firestone Walker’s R&D Brewhouse. He joins Drinking Socially hosts Harrison Hickok and Kyle Roderick to talk about innovation, collaboration, and some current projects he’s working on.

Summer calls for beers that sustain us through these long sun-filled hours. Light, sessionable ones that we can comfortably enjoy two, three, or even four of throughout the day without sacrificing flavor. Sierra Nevada’s new summer seasonal, a session hazy IPA called Summer Break, does exactly that. Bursting with juiciness, but only hitting 4.6% ABV, the beer made such a splash when it first hit shelves last summer that it’s back in 2022. With Summer Break, Sierra Nevada is yelling C-A-N-N-O-N-B-A-L-L at the top of their lungs.

Meet the Monsters of IPA! In 2019, Rogue released its first hazy IPA called Batsquatch, a fabled creature found in the deep woods near Mount St. Helens. Following this juicy, cloudy, fruit-forward IPA, Rogue launched a second monster in 2021. Colossal Claude, a massive sea monster last seen off the coast of his favorite brewery, has been terrifying sailors and feasting on salmon for years. Now he's turned to hops. This imperial IPA has a colossal dose of Cascade, Chinook, Citra, and Strata. Now, there is a new monster on the scene, the Gumberoo. This West Coast IPA is fashioned after the mythical half bear, half hog last sighted by campers in the Pacific Northwest woods. The piney and protective Gumberoo has a subtle hop aroma and flavors upfront giving way to a light tropical fruit body.

We think it's pretty safe to say that over the years the love for IPAs has grown exponentially. First it was English-style IPAs, then West Coasts, then came session IPAs, and of course the haze craze. You could almost say that we’ve been hypnotized by the magic powers of IPAs. @firestonewalker has created the perfect name for this phenomenon: Hopnosis. And it's not only a new word - but more importantly it's a new IPA! In this week’s episode of Drinking Socially hosts Harrison Hickok and Kyle Roderick say hello to Firestone Walker Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. The six time winner of ""Brew of the Year"" at the Great American Beer Festival and wizard behind Firestone Walker's amazing beers will blow your minds as he chats about West Coast IPAs, new school hops, and Hopnosis.

O’zapft is! O’zapft is! That's been the traditional way Oktoberfest has been kicked off for centuries. Literally meaning "it's been tapped!" But really meaning - it's party time, der bruder!Drinking Socially podcast hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza - along with the rest of the world - are bummed that the actual Oktoberfest is cancelled once again this year. But fear not! They’re keeping the spirit of this celebration alive and well with the help of some classic Marzen's and some brand spanking new Untappd badges!

We’re living in the golden age of beer. It’s almost overwhelming deciding which beer to drink next. How can we even make that decision with so many amazing choices? For Drinking Socially podcast host Harrison Hickok he looks at what co-host Jon Dispenza has been drinking on Untappd. Or, he searches his local Verified Venues to see what’s new in town. And now more than ever our local breweries need us! To help celebrate local beer the Brewers Association started the Local Beer Is Better initiative that promotes and supports your independent, neighborhood breweries. Why? Because a local beer keeps local people employed. A local beer gives back to the community. Heck, a local beer creates community right in the taproom where it’s poured. A local beer doesn’t just taste better, it does good.

Porters are more than just, “that other dark beer”. Over the past decade or so craft beer consumers have sprinted down a dark, windy, roasty, path of the stout. From barrel-aged to fruited to breakfast variations to those infused with lactose and cake, stouts have become a darling of modern American craft brewers. But along the way we’ve forgotten that porters are kind of like the OG dark beer! Originating during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century in London, porters take their name from the London working class that first enjoyed them: boatmen, punters, and porters. After dominating England during the 1700s, the style lost popularity in the early 20th century and faded away until being semi-revived as a style during the rise of craft beer

Drinking Socially podcast hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza are pretty great mates, so this week they’re sharing Brawler from Yards Brewing Co. to unlock the “Mild Mannered” badge. You can earn this badge by checking-in five different beers with the style of English Mild Ale. Try five more for Level 2! We also highlight The Beer Shed in Waynesboro, PA as our Verified Venue of the Week and shout out Pipeworks and Holmes Brewing for bringing us the best beers we had this week.

Plus, since Kyle’s favorite badge is “You Don’t Know Brett” we’ll crack an Enjoy After 12.26.15 Brett IPA from Stone Brewing Co. Earn this badge by checking-in any beer in the style of Brett Beer, American Wild Ale, IPA - Brett, or Wild Ale - Other. We also highlight Pour Decisions Taproom in Hollister, CA as our Verified Venue of the Week and shout out Burial Beer Co. and Ne Anthem Beer Project for crafting the best beers we had this week.

Recently, this hop has skyrocketed in popularity. Probably because of its magical tropical mango and pineapple properties. Harrison and Jon welcome Shelley and Eric Desmarais from CLS Farms and Alexandra Nowell, Director of Brewing Operations, for Three Weavers Brewing to break down what makes the El Dorado hop such a treasure.

A very close cousin to an English IPA, ESB was a forerunner catch-all for most early English beers. Ahead of its time, new ESB styles erupted as brewing methods evolved and brewers became more technical. While most still use an English yeast strain to coax out that traditional flavor, you can find American brewers putting their own take on this beer style as well, today.

This week we're drinking Morland Old Speckled Hen from Greene King to unlock the “You’re Extra Special” badge, earned by checking-in to five different beers with the style of Extra Special / Strong Bitter or English Bitter! We also highlight Jackalope Brewing Company - The Ranch in Nashville, TN as our Verified Venue of the Week, and shout out Rotunda Brewing Company and New Anthem Beer Project for crafting the best beers we had this week.

In the case of an IPA, higher hop intensity and extra juiciness are a given. In fact, the style is often attributed to Vinnie Cilurzo, now owner and brewmaster of renowned Russian River Brewing Co. In 1994 rumor has it that Cilurzo while working for Blind Pig Brewery added too much mash to his upcoming beer. Instead of tossing it he ran with it. He later took his innovation to Russian River Brewing where Pliny the Elder became one of the most highly regarded DIPAs in the country. Since then many breweries coast-to-coast have powered up their IPAs, making it one of the most popular styles in the country. Need proof? In 2020 Double / Imperial IPAs ranked as the third highest checked in style on Untappd with 34,000 different DIPAs appearing on the app and 6,585,229 total check-ins.

That’s a lot of check-ins! To do our part we're drinking G-Bot from @newenglandbrewingco to unlock the “2X” badge, earned by checking-in to five different beers that contain Imperial / Double in its style name. Try 5 more for Level 2! We also highlight @texiKotequilabar in Hamden, CT as our Verified Venue of the Week, and shout out @edmundsoast and @UntitledArt for crafting the best beer and hard seltzer we had this week.

In 2013, co-owners of Bale Breaker Brewing Co.—Meghann Quinn, her husband Kevin Quinn, and Meghan’s brother Kevin Smith (known as “Smitty”)—helped start the Ales for ALS program with Mike and Cheryl Smith from Yakima Chief Hops and Loftus Ranches. Over the past seven years the program has helped raise over $3.5 million dollars for ALS research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI). On this very special episode of Drinking Socially Meghann and Smitty share their story and unveil a new badge “Drink to Ales for ALS”, earned by checking-in a beer from any of the participating breweries in the Ales for ALS program. To start we’re drinking Bubba’s Brew 2021 from Bale Breaker.

In this episode, we're unlocking the brand new Ales for ALS badge: Check-in to one (1) beer from the list of participating breweries (see blog for list of breweries) between Aug. 2nd, 2021 - Aug. 31st, 2021.

We love beers with a little extra ABV. Don't you? This week's spotlight is on the "Sky's The Limit" badge. You don't always intend to go for beers with a double-digit ABV, but when you do, you make it count! Be careful, 10% and up can really pack a punch. Get ready for some late night show antics as we crack open 2 beers that should probably be shared with friends... but that's a different badge. Harrison's drinking Pastry Works from Froth Brewing Co., a Pastry Stout with Peanut Butter, Graham Cracker, Coconut and Milk Sugar. Jon's drinking Dia De Los Muertos (Ghost 906) from Adroit Theory. At 13.7% ABV, this Russian Imperial Stout is the perfect balance between Bitter and Sweet, Creamy and Full Bodied, or Roasty and Malty.

We're recording this episode off the back of Beer Can Appreciation Day. We figured we'd keep the party going by featuring the badge, "For The Can". Canning is all the rage and it's not hard to see why - travels well, more environmentally friendly, and no need to carry your bottle opener. We're leveling up this badge with Thick Haze by Oskar Blues Brewery! Crack open a can-tastic beer and level up with us for this episode.

What We’re Drinking:

Thick Haze - Oskar Blues Brewery

https://untappd.com/b/oskar-blues-brewery-thicc-haze/3794310

ABV: 7%

Style: IPA - New England

IBU: 45

Notes: This full on Hazy IPA has a vibrant white head and a creamy mouthfeel that offers intense hop aromas and flavors of pineapple, mango, grapefruit, lemon, strawberry, honeysuckle.

Redaction: At 15:30 Harrison asks Jon if you need to drink "Uniques" to level up the Milestone badges. Jon said that they do not need to be Unique. Jon was wrong. 🤦‍♂ Milestone badges are only levelled up via Unique Beers.

What We’re Drinking:
Anchor Steam Beer - Anchor Brewing Company
https://untappd.com/b/anchor-brewing-company-anchor-steam-beer/6204

ABV: 4.9%
Style: California Common
IBU: 33
Notes: San Francisco's famous Anchor Steam, the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to our traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for our brewing process has evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world. Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when "steam" seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. The brewing methods of those days are a mystery and, although there are many theories, no one can say with certainty why the word "steam" came to be associated with beer. For many decades Anchor alone has used this quaint name for its unique beer. In modern times, "Steam" has become a trademark of Anchor Brewing.

Season 3 is coming to a close - what a year! Let's celebrate and go out with a bomb! Throw a fire in the fireplace - just make sure your Christmas tree is a safe distance away since you probably forgot to keep watering it about a week or so ago. But that's ok - beer is here to save the day. And not just any beer, the perfect beer for this day - in this month - in this year. This time of year demands something big and toasty and roasty and that's exactly what's in the bottle. Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

It's hard to believe it was a year ago that Harrison and Jon were talking about the 'Year in Beer' — and we all know what a joyful quagmire 2020 has been... instead of reflecting on the things we wish were different — we're going to focus this episode on the things that were great! We're officially halfway through our Advent Box and it's going to be bringing some Pennsylvania Madness to the show today — but we're also recapping our Untappd Year In Beer! We've already seen so many of you talking about it in the Facebook group, I can't wait to see if Harrison has more uniques than Jon did — I can make a safe prediction we both drank a lot of beer at Home! This episode we're drinking Mad Elf from Tröegs Independent Brewing. Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

Surprise beer is here! If you've been following along with us on Twitter, we have been drinking a new surprise beer out of our beer advent boxes each day since the start of December. And today we're finally going to drink one together. It's a little chilly so we're hoping for a big ol' stout, or maybe a Christmas beer? We'll learn what it is about 3 minutes into the show...Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

Mount Beermore was created because our talented producer was drinking beer on Vacation — well — it wasn't a vacation, it was a Wednesday... The idea was stolen from Mount Rushmore which is a gigantic rock in South Dakota — Gutzon Borglum was charged with choosing who to put on that monument — and even the US Bureau of National Parks likes to ask "who would you put up there if it were your decision?" We took that idea and applied it to Beer. We looked for the Founding Breweries of our own Beer Journey... we'll catch you up on the first 3 to get 'carved in stone' — but this episode is about the final piece of the puzzle/monument/mountain.... the 4th and final selection in our Mount Beermore! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

Tonight we're drinking local - Pillow Fort from Edmund's Oast and Flying Machine! The local part is extremely fitting - because while today is one of the biggest drinking days of the year in the US — we are already thinking about this Sunday, November 29th; aka Small Brewers Sunday! Untappd has partnered up with the Brewers Association to celebrate with beer lovers and we encourage everyone to support independent breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms. Seek the Independent Craft Brewer Seal, and purchase craft beer for your holiday festivities. And for those of you who aren't in the US, look for your own Country's independent seal, like SIBA in the UK, the Independent Craft Seal in Canada, and #ASKFORINDIEBEER in Australia!

On Drinking Socially every beer that we haven’t checked-in is a beer we want to drink. Sometimes the allure of a top-rated brewery becomes too much to ignore.. and sometimes... we get really lucky! On this episode, Christmas comes early, and brings a whole Treehouse! That’s right — we got our hands on some of the most elusive beers in the world, and we’re about to see if the hype is real! (Spoiler: it is) We're drinking Green by Tree House Brewing Company! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

Double trouble? 2 for 1? Double bubbles? That works - what we're trying to say is we're drinking two beers today - and we'll be doing the same next week! We're starting across the pond with a brewery hailing from Wokingham, England. Once famous for its bell making and silk mills, now craft beer fans are being drawn in by the intoxicating beers this brewery pumps out. They're almost too good to resist...as their name suggests. We're drinking Be Even More Pacific IPA and Neo Normal IPA by Siren Craft Brew! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

We began our Beer 101 Series on June 17th, Season 3, Episode 13. That was a feature about Hops... we've since covered all 4 vital ingredients in a beer, how to turn them into beer, and what to do with it afterward — on this episode, we're bringing in Ryan Wheaton from the Branding Brews Podcast and Craft Brew Creative to talk about how marketing plays a role into the beers we drink. We're sipping Doom Sauce by Lord Hobo Brewing in this episode. Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

We are knee deep into spooky season! And we'd be doing you all a disservice if we didn't enjoy another kind of beer that goes well with this time of year. "TNT" would've called this a "New Classic" back in the day as it may not be making all the hip/cool beer list's yet. But Drinking Socially is once again a step ahead - we're talking about Monster Beers! And no, we don't mean a large beer (check out our Stovepipe Episode 23 for that!) We're talking about beers that are actually named after monsters. We're drinking Batsquatch by Rogue Ales! — so grab your favorite creature feature crafty and let's wolf out on some special brews that may just bite back! 🐺🍻 Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

This episode is going to be different. We're going still going to be Jon & Harrison talking about beer, and sometimes candy — but today we're not even doing to drink a beer. This episode features something like beer in that you can find it in bottles and cans, you can drink enough of it to love your favorite sports team, or celebrate a day off of work — and it's (mostly) full of bubbles. You can enjoy it thoroughly in any season, but it's different depending on where you live... but don't worry -- you can still get a badge for drinking Cider 🍻 🍎 We're drinking Blood Amulet by B. Nektar Meadery! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

At a minimum pumpkins have become their own food group, and at the other it's extreme it's become a way of life! This year we're eating pumpkin cinnamon buns for breakfast and pumpkin pasta for dinner.... and pumpkin toothpaste as a reprieve?? We've got one of the most well known Pumpkin Beers in the country with us today: Punkin Ale by Dogfish Head. We'll cover the style in BJCP, as well as the popular question... to Rim? or not to Rim? Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

What are those giant cans? We're drinking the canned version of a bomber as we talk about beer, Untappd's upcoming Euro-Fest, and Packaging! Featured this week is Stone IPA by Stone Brewing. "Now one of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it." Plus — Harrison gives us a BJCP breakdown of the American IPA. We're 90% done with Beer 101, and still only 70% done with this beer! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

We're going to be drinking a beer from the Music City, USA, or more formally the Minneapolis of the South? Of course, we're talking about Nashville, TN. We're drinking Homestyle by Bearded Iris Brewing a juicy IPA at 6%, packed full of mosaic. We'll also ask a slippery "would-you-rather", learn about Citra hops, Untappd's plans to celebrate 10 years!

We're bringing Oktoberfest back to the 'States, and covering Vienna Lager in the Style Guideline. But's it's also Cellaring and Lagering on Beer 101 as we near the end of the series.. listen in as Harrison sheds some light on the Cellar, and Brite Tank, and even a little bit of Barrel Aging. We're drinking Octoberfest Beer by Bell's Brewery.

We've all responded to Spring 2020 differently than our New Years' resolution planned for — but one thing that has been undeniable is the increase in our consumption of 'core beers'. The 15 packs, and 24-packs of beers. The purchases normally reserved for a weekend camp trip, or tailgate. This episode we dive into some of the earliest of American Craft and re-visit the beers that paved the way for over 8000 Craft Breweries in the US. As you may expect, they're both amazing examples, and worth picking up the next time you're shopping to stock your fridge.

What We’re Drinking:Samuel Adams Boston Lager by Boston Beerhttps://untappd.com/b/boston-beer-company-samuel-adams-boston-lager/3914

ABV: 5%
IBU: 30
Notes: Samuel Adams Boston Lager® is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoration mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager® also uses only the finest of ingredients including two-row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops.

Pale Ale by Sierra Nevada Brewing Cohttps://untappd.com/b/sierra-nevada-brewing-co-pale-ale/6284

ABV: 5.6%
IBU: 38
Notes: Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.

EPISODE SUMMARY: As we move through May, it felt important to pay homage to the beers that were designed with this month in mind. Join us as we drink through a very traditional example of a Maibock, and then delve into something a little more modern. Food pairings, outside activities, and a reason to stop and enjoy a variation of Lager that will be harder to find as the weeks go by after this episode.

What We’re Drinking: 1516 by Red Oak Brewery Link: https://untappd.com/b/red-oak-brewery-1516/1522417

ABV: 7%
IBU: 22
Notes: Red Oak’s 1516 Heller Bock, appealing to Connoisseurs of exceptional beers, is a strong, full-bodied, smooth bier. 1516 Heller Bock, golden in color, is Brewed according to the Bavarian 1516 Law of Purity.

Glory Is Goldenbock by Burial & Zillicoah Beer Company Link: https://untappd.com/b/burial-beer-co-glory-is-goldenbock/3575781

ABV: 6%
IBU: 30
Notes: Glory is a destination for those who follow the gospel. It gives a hearkened voice to the apostles of beverage, those who remind us that taste is an amalgamation of tradition and revival. So we got together with our friends down on the river at Zilicoah Beer Co., to forge an often drinkable, yet full-flavored lager. Inspired by the Hellesbock-styled golden lagers of Germany, we decided to tip a hat to the regional American brewers that breathed new life into those styles in the new world. Glory Is was made from German barley, noble hops, and forged through a full decoction before lagering to crystalline perfection. Fully aged. Never Sacrificed.

Correction:At the 28:00 mark; we are talking about Oxygen in beer.

Harrison mentions "500 Parts Per Million" of DO (Dissolved Oxygen). The correct measurement is Parts Per Billion. (Reference)

Huge Cheers to Greig M for bringing this to our attention!

What We’re Drinking:Barrel-Aged Narwhal by Sierra Nevada Brewing* ABV: 11.9% * IBU: 50 * Notes: Barrel-Aged Narwhal is our deliciously dark Imperial Stout aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels. Barrel aging is a strange science; it mellows some characteristics of the original beer while intensifying others. Narwhal’s aggressive roastiness has calmed, but the rich, chocolate-like malt backbone is brought to the fore. Black as midnight, this intense stout is complex with notes of cocoa and espresso balanced with hints of vanilla and toasted coconut from the oak casks. Nearly as rare as it’s nautical namesake, try Barrel-Aged Narwhal while you can because like the creature itself, it will soon dive into the depths and leave nary a trace behind.

Jon's Cellar: Black Ops by Brooklyn Brewery (2017 Version)* ABV: 10.7% * IBU: 70 * Notes: Intense Russian imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels and 100% bottle refermented.

Harrison's Cellar: Big Bad Baptist by Epic Brewing Co (Release #33)* ABV: 11.8% * IBU: N/A * Notes: One Big Bad Imperial Stout with Cocoa nibs and Coffee beans. Each season's release uses a different dark roasted coffee.

Jenn's Cellar: Barrel Aged Wee Heavy by AleSmith Brewing Company (2014 Version)* ABV: 10% * IBU: N/A * Notes: A classic Scotch Ale. Scotch ales are typically sweet and malty, with a very subdued dose of hops– just enough to provide balance. AleSmith Wee Heavy is a wonderful interpretation of this traditional Scotch style. A year spent in bourbon barrels adds another layer of rich sweetness.

Badge Notes:Any version of these base beers (Any Year) should still unlock the Drinking Socially Podcast badge.

What We’re Drinking:Saison Dupont by Brasserie Dupont* ABV: 6.5% * IBU: 30 * Notes: Saison Dupont is a world classic beer and the yardstick for one of Belgium’s most important beer styles. It is the most admired AND imitated Saison in the world. A strong, vital yeast is key to full attenuation and thus to the style. Saison Dupont is straw colored with a dense creamy head. The nose is alive, like fresh raised bread, estery with citrus and spice notes. Full-bodied and malty, it sparkles on the palate and finishes with a zesty hop and citrus attack. Incredibly compatible with food!

Saison by Allagash Brewing Company* ABV: 6.1% * IBU: N/A * Notes: A Maine interpretation of a classic Belgian farmhouse-style ale. Notes of citrus and peppery spice accompany pleasant malt character and a tropical aroma. The addition of dark Belgian candi sugar complements the beer’s rustic flavor while giving it a dry palate.

What We’re Drinking:DayTime IPA by Lagunitas* ABV: 4% * IBU: 31 * Notes: This beer has achieved what we all hope for ourselves; to be made new again. There is freedom in burning down the house of expectations and it confers an undeniable lightness to being. We didn't invent these truths; they invented us.

Flyjack by Firestone Walker Brewing Company* ABV: 4% * IBU: 25 * Notes: Everything you want from a hazy IPA with nothing to weigh you down. This is Flyjack, Firestone Walker's new 96-calorie beer. Maximum flavor, minimal calories, no compromises.

Light Hearted Ale by Bell's Brewery* ABV: 3.7% * IBU: 36 * Notes: Light Hearted is aromatic, balanced, and incredibly easy-drinking. This Lo-Cal IPA has only 110 calories, yet all the Heart. Centennial and Galaxy hops result in citrus and pine aromas, while a variety of specialty malts help give Light Hearted its body and flavor.

What We’re Drinking:Banana Bread Beer by Eagle Brewery (formerly Charles Wells)* ABV: 5.2% * IBU: 18 * Notes: ABV of 5.2% in bottles, and 4.5% on cask. A silky, crisp, and rich amber-colored ale with a fluffy head and strong banana note on the nose.

Brewers Breakfast by Hopfly Brewing Co.* ABV: 9.5% * IBU: N/A * Notes: Brewer’s Breakfast is a tribute to the brewers who have started their mornings with a delicious Pearson’s Nut Roll and coffee while brewing. An imperial stout packed with peanut butter coffee and caramel—this is for the brewer in all of us. So, here’s to you!

Peanut Butter Jelly Time by Catawba Brewing Co.* ABV: 5.7% * IBU: 10 * Notes: Remember when your mom packed a PB&J sandwich in your lunchbox? The flavors all melded into pure comfort food by noon! Well, we recreated this childhood goodness in a beer! This light brown ale is brewed from five different grains and then aged for weeks on raspberries and North Carolina-grown whole roasted peanuts.

What We’re Drinking:Ivan by Victory Art Brewing* ABV: 13% * IBU: 100 * Notes: Our version of the imperial stout, in addition to a fair dose of dark malts, It contains many special malts - whiskey malt (six-row barley smoked on peat), peat brewing malt and Belgian brown malt. This adds to the viscous thick taste and coffee aroma the smells of fuel oil and creosote. High alcohol is masked by a complex aroma, but beware! Beer is great for long, cold winter evenings. It goes well with chocolate desserts, as well as with dishes cooked on charcoal.

Old Rasputin by North Coast Brewing* ABV: 9% * IBU: 75 * Notes: Produced in the tradition of 18th Century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia’s Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following wherever it goes.

Randalling and Infusion History Early 'Infusion' History + The first documented use of hops in beer is from the 9th century, though Hildegard of Bingen, 300 years later, is often cited as the earliest documented source. -Excerpt from [Wikipedia] + The first US commercial hop production was a 45-acre garden established in 1648 to supply a brewery in the Massachusetts Bay settlement. + Exceprt from https://www.britishhops.org.uk - By the 17th century ale (i.e.: un-hopped beer) was no longer popular and beer was the established drink and by 1655 hop cultivation grew rapidly in fourteen UK counties. In a successful year, an acre of good hops could be more profitable than fifty acres of arable land, but some farmers would not grow hops due to the erratic yields caused by drought, wet periods and mildew. Duty was imposed in 1710 and the Act prohibited the use of any bettering agent other than hops in beer, as hops were far more wholesome. The duty varied from year to year and speculation on the tax became a popular form of betting. * Randall History* + This invention is credited to Sam Calagione and the team at DFH Circa 2004 + It was originally created to beat the Pacific brewers in the Lupulin Slam event. + Click here to watch DogFish Head's amazing 2 minute 'infomercial' on their Randall Jr + Click here to buy a Randall Jr right from DogFish Head

Out of Our Gourds Pumpkin Home Brew Recipe

What We’re DrinkingBeer #1 - No Time Like the Present by Voodoo Brewing Company (Collab with Equilibrium Brewery)

DIPA
7.6% ABV
This DIPA is dry hopped at over 5lb/bbl with Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy.
Jon Brought this beer to the share because it was hard to find a beer that Harrison and Mike have not already had. Thanks for the Share Edward!

Beer #2 - Supplication by Russian River Brewing Company

American Wild Ale
7.75% ABV
Brown ale aged in Pinot Noir wine barrels for one year with sour cherries, Brettanomyces yeast, and Lactobacillus & Pedicoccus bacteria.
Harrison brought this beer because it was killing him to wait any longer to drink it

Beer #3 - Black Tuesday (2015) - by The Bruery

Imperial Stout
19.9% ABV
This beer is The Bruerys take on a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. The 2015 edition is the big in many ways, clocking in at 19.9% ABV. Rich caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, burnt wood and anise are just a few of the many flavors in this rich, decadent imperial stout.
Mike brought this beer because he is amazing and wanted to make sure he brought the biggest surprise to the table.

InterviewWe take a walk down memory lane, diving into Mike’s first “craft beer memory”, and even discuss what he’s ordering to eat after a bottle share. We gain insight into what it’s like trying to keep up with all the new beer, breweries, and trends in the market today.

Seven Cities Tour UpdateGreg (Twitter/Untappd), is nearly done with the Untappd Seven City Tour. The event locations have been trending on Untappd for each of the parties so far with only the final event at Cerebral Brewing coming up on October 1st. Follow along on the adventure via Untappd’s social media channels (Twitter / Instagram / Facebook) or here.

What We’re DrinkingBeer #1 - Oktoberfest by Boston Beer Company

Märzen
5.3% ABV
We begin here as it's the most checked-in Oktoberfest beer on Untappd. Widely available in the US, and really good!

Beer #2 - Copper Legend by Jack's Abby Craft Lagers

Festbier
5.7% ABV
This beer has been on Harrison's wishlist and rightfully so! Jacks Abby began as a family-owned brewery focusing on craft lagers. This is a great example of the style, and instantly let us know that our 5 Oktoberfest beers were going to be noticeably different!

Beer #3 - Oktoberfest - by Sierra Nevada Brewing a collaboration with Bitburger Braugruppe

Märzen
6% ABV
This collaborative effort has been happening since 2015 and we felt this would be the perfect beer to transition from the US, to Germany. Each year, Sierra Nevada works with a German brewery to create a new and unique Oktoberfest beer. This is the 2nd most checked in Oktoberfest beer on Untappd this year, and the first time that yeast from Bitburger has left the brewery!

Beer #4 - Oktober Fest-Märzen by Ayinger Privatbrauerei

Märzen
5.8% ABV
Our first proper German Oktoberfest beer was picked based on Untappd Check-in volume and excitement. This one had been logged by most of our own Untappd friends and we were eager to look for differences in the American versions and the German originals!

Beer #5 - Oktoberfest Märzen by Hacker-Pschorr

Märzen
5.8% ABV
The final beer in our trip through Oktoberfest. We're hoping that the reviews aren't starting to get non-sensical at this point. This beer, and experiment proved that 5 beers of nearly the same style and ABV can all taste remarkably different. This beer was nothing like the previous 4.

What We’re Drinking Franny's Farmhouse by Bhramari Brewing Company

Farmhouse IPA
5.5% ABV
Farmhouse IPA Infused with Hemp, Idaho 7, & Comet Hops. Brewed in collaboration with Listerman Brewing Company, White Labs Yeast, & Franny's Farmacy.eks in more than 20lbs of hops in each of several freshly emptied red wine oak barrels.

Happy to Donut by Wren House Brewing Company

Stout - Double/Oatmeal
9% ABV
Happy to Donut was a simple predictive text error (we talk about donuts a lot) that became an inspiration. We brewed a 9% Imperial Stout and then added over a pound per barrel of exceptional @tchochocolate cacao nibs from Ghana and a few of the fattest Madagascar vanilla beans we’ve seen. The result is a rich and decadent stout akin to a chocolate donut

What We’re Drinking Tim’s Beer

Careful With That Passion Fruit, Eugene by Beachwood Blendery

Lambic - Fruit
6.5% ABV
Careful with that Passion Fruit, Eugene is the first of our ‘lambic inspired’ fruited series.
In this case we took a blend of 9-14 month old barrels, added Passion Fruit for one month, and bottle conditioned with wine yeast for three months.
The passion fruit shines through and combines perfectly with the flavors and acidity from the original blend.
Fruity, funky, sour… this beer could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Kyle’s Beer

Aon Pecan Mud Cake by Omnipollo

Stout - Imperial / Double
11% ABV
60 IBU
When I was 12 I dreamed of becoming a pastry chef. Call this a creative outlet.
Thick, rich and excessively decadent, this beer aims to bring back childhood memories.
