Beers and Laughs Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jacob Noble
Jacob and Eddie ventured out to Springfield, NH to meet Bill and Mike of Hoptimystic Brewing. We had way too many laughs, learned how they started (during a pandemic nonetheless!) and had lots of tasty beers. We even were treated to some homebrews!
Jacob and Eddie headed to Marlboro, MA to interview the founder of Flying Dreams Brewing.
Interview:
- So on your website’s section “our story” it's basically just Dave Richardsons story…So what are your stories?
- Says here that Dave has won 35 awards. Does the website get updated every time a new award is won?
- Can you name all 35 awards?
- What’s the story behind the name?
- 2 locations: Worcester and Marlborough, MA. Looks like beer is brewed in Worcester and the taproom in Marboro. What’s the story with the two locations?
- *potential follow-up: Wormtown used to brew at the Worcester location
-
- How did the relationship with Wormtown Brewing begin?
- Are there any collabs with Wormtown?

- What’s your thoughts on the hard seltzer trend?
- Do you remember drinking your first craft beer?
- What was the first beer you brewed?
- What’s your favorite style of beer?
- What beer do you enjoy brewing the most?
- *If there was a beer you could brew with no regards to cost, production, or sales, what would it be and why?
- On collaborations, which brewery was the most fun to brew with? What beer was it?
- I may be retarded, but how do you pronounce “SYZYGY”? Why?
- Any shout out to any upcoming future brews
- It’s been over a year since the news section has been updated? What gives? Nothing going on over here?

Bad Yelp Review - Redemption:
-
Steven B. - Boston, MA (Worcester location)
-
- A very small, cozy brewery located next to a restaurant. I recommend the tasting as you will get to keep your sample glass. The samples you get to try will vary from day to day depending on which beers are on tap.
-
Concession IPA- Bitter and hoppy. Unfortunately, I did not find this IPA terribly appealing.
-
Double bock--Caramel and whiskey. Like a barley wine. Nice smooth finish. This was the highlight of the tasting.
-
Cafe session stout--thinner consistency than most stouts. Distinct Coffee complexity. Reminds me of cold brew. It's a refreshing stout.
-
Double Mando DIPA--Strong hoppy flavor with a nice bitterness that lingers in the tongue. Pine note. Thin consistency. Decent DIPA.
-
Park Ave porter--a little malty but not much. But, I found the flavor dull and watery. Satisfactory, but not much going on here.
-
- Like most breweries, the brews can be hit or miss. Double Bock alone is worth a visit. Flying Dreams gets a recommendation.
- came here by accident, meant to go to the Worcester location. I personally was on the hunt for their sour beers but none were on tap so I asked for water while my boyfriend got drinks. There were 4 of us in total here and the girl never came back with my water or to check in on my boyfriend. He finally put his empty glass very obviously forward so he could get another beer and she came. I asked for water again and never got it. I get its a brewery and perhaps I annoyed her by not drinking l, but blatantly ignoring 50% of your customers sucks. it's also in an odd space with lawyers offices.

Episode 268: The Guys enjoy some @hillfarmstead and a collab with @vitaminseabrew and @jwakefieldbeer

LPT from Reddit:
-
When hired for a new job, copy the list of responsibilities they provide you and save it in a folder with your resume. This will make it easier to complete an application the next time you look for a job when the employer asks what your last job duties were.
-
Don’t be afraid to splurge a little bit on a few luxury items from the grocery store that may dissuade you from eating out, and act as a reward for saving money and (probably) eating healthier. (The cost of a meal purchased at the grocery store is on average far cheaper than a similar meal via fast food, takeout, or (especially) delivery. If you can afford it, splurging a little bit on a good steak, or specialty produce at the grocery store may prevent you from eating out as often, so you’ll save money and experience higher quality food compared with a similarly priced meal from a restaurant.)

Anheuser-Busch Wins the Regulatory Go-Ahead to Acquire Craft Brew Alliance
The Department of Justice gave its approval on Friday, Sept. 18 for Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) to move ahead with its acquisition of Craft Brew Alliance (NASDAQ:BREW) -- or what Craft Brew calls an "expanded partnership." The deal been in limbo since February, when an antitrust examination began, but has now cleared a major hurdle on the way to closing.
The approval is contingent on the two parties' agreement to sell the Hawaiian operations of Kona Brewing to PV Brewing Partners, LLC. Craft Brew Alliance and Anheuser-Busch suggested the divestiture back on June 10 as a way to "expedite the regulatory review process and alleviate potential regulatory concerns."
Anheuser-Busch InBev and Craft Brew Alliance will grant PV Brewing Partners a perpetual license to brew and market Kona beer in Hawaii, along with selling it a new brewery with a capacity of 100,000 barrels and other Kona facilities in the state.
Anheuser-Busch has owned a 31% stake in Craft Brew since 2016, but the deal will give it 100% ownership, paying $16.50 per share to Craft Brew's shareholders at closing. CBA's shares ended Friday trading up 6% on the news. Anheuser-Busch's Brewers Collective president Marcelo Michaelis said the beverage giant expects the combination "to help fuel the growth of the craft beer category" in the "competitive and dynamic" American beer market.
Eddie and Jacob went on a hike and almost died. A lot of jimbos were had and we lived to tell the tale.
We did some new segments for the fans, talked brewery news and laws, drank an Oxbox Farmhouse and Shipyard pumpkin at 11am on sunday morning to get into the groove.
Eddie and Jacob shoot the shit about life since COVID, their brewery experiences and what they've been up to.

Kez takes over the host chair from Jacob at our annual Craftmas! This episode was wacky, went all over the place and plenty of beers were had.
We tackle the annual South Shore Farmers Brewfest. We had a table set up, gave out free stuff, and had people stop by to chit chat. This part one contains Shoveltown Brewery, Yankee Brews News, The Juice Mill (amazing apple cider), Black Hat Brewery (the host!) and Burke's Candles. It's a wacky episode that was done outside at a brew fest.
(@shoveltownbeer @blackhatbrewwks @thejuicemill @ybnhoptips)
Eddie and Jacob sat down with Jon (owner), Frank (Media manager) and Peaches (not sure what he does) to talk Pipe Dream Brewing!
We discussed Jon's love for holding surf boards, had a draft of our favorite pipe dreams and played a guess your neighbor's beer game with the team.
This was a lot of fun as a podcast and the fun didn't stop after we recorded.

Libsyn changes over to Aug at 8pm, why? I have no clue so I am trying to get my MB usage up and recording a solo podcast for you tonight. I had to throw in an old episode audio before just to keep the space available. Look for this episode soon.
I decided to do a solo episode where i ranted and raved about recent beer news and articles. I also discussed dieting. Lastly, I called Eddie who happned to be on the toilet.
I was lucky enough to be friends with Danny. Danny won a free round of golf up in Maine. So what do logical people do? Take the day off work to go play golf in the middle of the week and drink beers all day and night.
We started with a Baxter variety twelve pack for the course. We grabbed a couple Maine Beer Co IPA's at the bar waiting for our tee time.
Then we jumped over to Novare Res, Portland, ME's best craft beer bar as voted by me. I started out with the Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza. AN entire 750ml to my face. Next I had one of my favorites, a Saison Dupont before we ventured to another bar in hopes of running into ladies.
We went to Porthole's because it has a deck on the water. It wasn't bumping there but the wait staff was hot so it worked out.
I'd like to inform you of the next location but I do not remember it, all i remember is listening to a shitty cover band drinking Sam Summer's to ease into a light hangover for work the next day.
All in all, Maine is a cool place.
I got a little too hammered on this episode. I even forget which beer we had. This episode took place a few weeks ago but with the busy summer... it got posted now.
Enjoy!

Well it only took 80 episodes. I didn't get to record one this week due to lazy circumstances but I decided to head into the vault of podcast segments or shows that never made it to air. Some for personal reasons and some for god awful reasons. Anyways, here are three fun segments.
The first one includes Allison and I shooting the shit about lazy people and the lack of desire to obtain knowledge. This was a test of an iphone APP that will most likely change the game of our podcast. Good quality if you ask me.
The next episode includes our good friends Kevin and Eddie, this was record after episode Episode 51: The Guys Drink Whiskey On A Monday Night. This episode was a shit show, hence having Whiskey on a Monday Night. This part was after the show and we were discussing Eddie banging an older lady and somehow ended up running down the places I've lived.
The last episode is a nod to the boys. Arguably the biggest shit show ever. This was with Ben, Mike and James. We recorded this part after recording Episode 25 and Episode 27, which were at Mike's house during the summer. We just got back from picking up pizza and you can tell how drunk we all were.
*No one drove drunk, we had one of the guys sober girlfriend.
The guys continue their summer rampage of drinking beers and doing drafts. Kez makes another game that takes too long. Don't worry, he doesn't read this or listen back anyways. The beers were good, the weather was great, the times were legend. The end.

Clown Shoes - Reindeer Games
The Bruery - Six Geese A Laying
Two Roads - Holiday Day
and a non christmas beer, Battleroad Brewing.
Jacob and James return from post turkey eating contest to bring you the best sound quality ever in a podcast because they used... ready... two mics!
They only had two beers because they were drinking before hand.
James tells the story of the silver can in the trash bin in the bathroom.

and many many more!
Jacob ventures off to Kevin's house with Eddie. They sip some delicious Whiskey while they try some delish beers on a Monday night.

James returns from his trips. Allison joins. They discuss Guardians of the Galaxy, eating salad with your bare hands and TLC, the greatest female R&B group.
Also, what's the point of wearing a SARS mask if you take it off to text? Defeats the purpose right?
Oh and the delivery guy interrupted our podcast.
Lastly, check out our new Podcast, a podcast loosely based on TLC.
The Beers:
Boulevard Ommegang Collab #4 Saison
Mayflower Thanksgiving Ale
Heavy Seas Plank III
CBC Tripel Threat
Jacob stops by Third Street Studios for their best quality episode ever. The quality of the production that is, the episode stunk. Don't listen to it anyway, we don't want you.
See what we did there?
Third Street Studios is owned by Mike Rendini. Jacob and Mike got drunk on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the quality of a studio for the podcast. Jacob is obsessed with Drake and Mike ponders what life would be like if sneezes smelled like farts.
Beers:
Arrogant Bastard
Double Bastard
Bog Iron One Down
Mike and Allison join Jacob for a very special Halloween episode. They drink some scary beers and watch one of their favorite scary flicks.
Allison hands out feet treats.
And Jacob doesn't shut up during the movie.
Beers were Ballast Point Dead Ringer, Ommagang Game of Thrones, and Green Flash Le Freak.
Jacob and James couldn't actually record a podcast together so they each did their own 30 minute episode to come up with this week's show for you.
Jacob discussed whatever he was looking at as he was not sober for this episode. Spending the day at home on the couch motivated him to tell some random stories.
James was wanted dead or alive. Preferrably alive. So he gave us 30 minutes of him being alive and pondered what John Gruden would say.
Jacob and James are joined by Allison. They enjoy New Hampshire beers from Allison and Jacob's recent trip to the state that lives free or dies.
Jacob showed James in gifts. One gift actually blew Jacob's mind...
They discussed a lot of their favorite Bon Jovi songs, and other things we think. Who knows. We will be finding out along with the listeners.
Jacob is joined by Mike only. They discuss Mitt Romney's dancing, Ludacris' album "Chicken and Beer" and how you can get halloween candy as an adult.
Mike discusses his recent trip to Vermont where he brought back some nifty gifties which supplied 90% of the beer for the podcast. Switchback Brewing and Rock Art Brewing join a beer from Coronado to make this episode.
Live down the cape with about 10 people popping in and out of the podcast. They try Mike's invention pickles & oreos while he talks about his favorite appliance, the Auto Blow 2.
Allison and Talita were on again but bailed for the hot tub.
Eddie, Bob and Mike all joined in the second half. This was a record for amount of reoccuring guests.
They played Greatest and Favorite. And drank tons of beers.
Including, the famous Heady Topper.
So we got a little too buzzed at the bar and hanging out back at the place before recording. We had to drink waters for our health.
Have you ever eaten Eggos while playing with Legos? Do kids play with Legos?
We debated the punching ourselves in the head.
Or and we had steriod water.
The big four are back together for their quarterly podcast. They were bombarded with surprise advertising last minute.
A whole range of beer came together on this lovely day. Even a test sample, not yet released Long Trail.
We know people.
Enjoy!
Jacob and James take an adventure to Bog Iron brewing to hang with Brian, Matt (Maty?) and Frank
We learn about starting a brewery, how to make good beer and types of beers not to make.
Things get out of hand.
Jacob and James go to Mike's House.
Pastrami
Beers.
Stay Sober our friends
Allison and a new guest, Mike Rendini, joined for a few beers on a Tuesday. Allison tells the story about getting her first dick pic and wishing it was an Elephant Seal's instead of a man's.
Jacob has a mini interview with Mike Rendini, who is a producer, writer and composure of music. Mike has a great range of music that you should probably check out: Mike's Website.
Allison busts out a new game, "Would an Elephant Seal do this?". They are strange creatures to say the least.
The game of "Who's the Douche" returns.
And lastyl, we had beers. All based out of San Diego, from Allison's recent trip to the west coast. Rough Draft - 2nd Draft, Green Flash Hop Head Red and Coronado Idiot IPA.
Opener Song: Alkaline Trio - San Francisco
Outro Song: Mike Rendini - California
Jacob and James join for a two man cast. They bang out a quick episode before heading off to trivia at Cagney's. They end up playing a new game, Pro, Anti or Matisyahu.
They debated the merits of water. No one will ever turn you down if you ask for some water. If they do, just find a sink.
James breaks down seeing The Offspring, Bad Religion and Pennywise at the House of Blues. Jacob also went to a concert. He saw Horse the Band.
Farewell to trivia at Cagney's.
Kevin joins the podcast for the first time to tackle important issues with Jacob and Allison.
The youth is in a downfall and the Guys touch on the problems they face.
A little family feud game is played.
Allison opens up about her up bringing with pastrami.
Jacob and James debunk the myth that the guys are sexiest. Despite recent internet and neighborhood complaints that the guys are sexiest, the take the time in this episode to prove you wrong.
Rob stops by to drop some knowledge early on before Mike can remind him that we haven't talked about dicks in 10 minutes. Jess doesn't like hoppy beers but chugs them anyway and Allison discusses her potential restaurant, Buffalo Allison's.
Besides the insanity that took place, the beer was unbelievable.
They were blessed with the Baxter Tarnation, Lagunitas Imperial Red, Pretty Things Collaberation Naparbier and the Boulevard Love Child #4.
A couple of games were played. We brought back Family Fued and introduced a new game. Which band's lyrics are these?
Don't forget to be on the look out for Buffalo Allison's and the new proposed item on the menu (thanks Rob!).
In this episode, Jacob and James take time out to appreciate one of the best musical artists of all time, Bon Jovi.
We lived on a prayer and were wanted dead or alive. It's our lives, it's now or never.
This was sort of a tribute to Tico Torres.
Jacob, James and Mike adventure to a sacred and holy place, the North End of Boston to hang out with podcast favorite, Scotty Peppahs. You will actually find the origin of the nick name Peppahs and a woman told us to shut the fuck up. Apparently 9pm on a Friday night is quiet time in the city.
You will be introduced to the best game we've had on the show yet, South Africian Politician or Actor?
This was a rowdy one. We stopped mid podcast to pizza up and it went downhill for everyone after that.
The Beers
Notch Hootenanny
Idle Hands D'aison
Ommegang Abbey Ale
Allagash Black
Jacob heads over to Eddie's house to hang out with Talita and Shandy's. This episode was intended to have The Dolls on but they bailed so last minute arrangements are made.
They started off with Rhode Island's very own Narragansett Del's Lemon Shandy. Followed by Shock Top Lemon Shandy in the tall boy cans. Next we went with the Time Traveler to get a little strawberry flavor in the mix. And finally finished with a real beer, The Porch Rocker by Sam Adams. All in all a good podcast and even funnier time after the show.
Talita may or may not have walked into the glass sliding door.
Jacob and James are on location live in Norton/Mansfield for the Vans Warped Tour. They did a 30 minute before the show and a 30 minute after the show podcast, melted them together to give the listener the best warped tour experience.
They were surprised by the Boulevard Saison Brett making an appearance at 9:55 am on a Wednesday to start things off. We were quickly followed by some Sam Adams Summers before heading to the show to crush Yuengling 16oz cans and play Guess Her Age at the good ole Warped Tour.
Before stopping back at home, the guys snacked at Albertos for some local craft and half priced appetizers.
Jacob may have lost his voice.
This is the second episode with Rob and Bob joining. The Guys already tackled 3 beers prior to this episode so we hope you understand. They started to break down how one could get AIDS, discuss the importance of komoda dragon's being far away, and Rob may or may not lick the blood beer we had off the side of the bottle.
The Guys are back at it. This time they were joined by Wombat Moongrass (or Bob) and Jacob's roommate Rob who knows way more about beer than we do. We pick Rob's brain and learn something or two. We discussed the merit's of street ball compared to real basketball. We even took a few moments to take a quiz about World Cup soccer to see which American's know their favorite sport.
Summertime is here and so are the beers. A little buzzed from pulling a double, the guys are off to a fast start in this episode. They host a roast for the host with the least. Jesse Ventura makes an appearance. They debate South Shore, MA pizza joints which probably goes over the head of everyone not from Massachusetts. Pizza, Beers, and jokes, what more do you need?

Jacob joins Allison, Danielle and Bob to shoot the shit. They talk about many things but mostly nothing. They tried beers and drank side wine.
Fun with friends. Not anymore...
This was a very fun episode as Allison joined again. We also brought in Danielle and my old roommate (and friend) Bob. We talked about not being from the major city of your state but it's easier to say that than explain you live with the Happiest Jamaican in Randolph. Bob sells his car to a Jamaican and Allison almost ran off with one, who may or may not have been in a movie about being in a drug cartel. Anyways, Welcome to our first episode of Wines and Laughs because we drank some side wine. The Beers:
Cisco Brewing - Whale's Tale Pale Ale
Ithaca Beer Co - Green Train
Two Roads - Ol' Factory

The Guys and a whole bunch of other guys meet up in Charleston, SC to celebrate Josh's engagement. They bar hopped for a few days prior and decided to record this podcast at noon on a Sunday, after the craziest Saturday night ever. Still drinks were had and laughs were plenty as these guys reminisce about the weekend thus far.
Oh, we thought we lost this podcast so being able to recover this has made everyone very grateful.
The Beers:
Sweetwater 420 Extra Pale Ale
Shiner Ruby Redbird Grapefruit and Ginger
Terrapin Rye Pale Ale
The Guys head up to Everett, MA to meet with Michael Oxton, one of the three founders of Night Shift Brewing. A hobby that turned into a business, Night Shift is coming up to being one of the better breweries in Massachusetts. With their wide variety of beers from Harborside (a summer sour) to their signature Viva Habanera (a hot spicy beer) to their members only club, Night Shift has a beer for everyone. Don't take our word for it, check them out for yourself.
The guys take part two to a dark and twisted side. Allison and Mike stayed on again for the episode as they finished off 4 through 6 of the beers Mike brought. We had Ommegang Red Ale... and two other ones that I forget right now because we got our Photographer too drunk to remember to take photos. Anyways, enjoy.
Beers and Laughs is back! Allison and Mike join the show again. Jacob and James are thrilled to discuss babies, pooping, and not judging a beer on the first sip with these two esteemed guests.

We apologize for the hiatus of the Podcast. We missed James last time and it didn't feel right continuing the cast without him. Anyways, we talk about why missed out of awesome casting on the podcast, which ironically involves healthcare and we talked about one of our friend's obsession of Obama. Don't worry though, it wasn't all bad news. James and I (Jacob) whipped out their cell phones where they store jokes they jot down when they aren't sober. But of course we had beer that we should tell you about. BOULDER BEER Awesome labels, cool names and a wide variety of styles from Boulder, Colorado's oldest craft beer brewery. I am ashamed to say I have visited Colorado three times and have not been to Boulder Beer's Brewery. The longer you live the more items end up on your bucket list. Ain't nobody got time for that, all I have time for is trying out craft beers and making people laugh. http://www.beersandlaughs.com Twitter Song: New Found Glory - Boulders
