World's Top 10 Beers Podcast: Recent Episodes
Bob and Doug
A weekly craft beer review podcast with the goal of finding the Best 10 beers in the world. Officially commissioned and certified by the World Beer Federation in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Without any spoilers, if you’ve missed previous episode (s16 ep5) go check that out. On this episode, Bob and Doug continue their never-ending Stout Hunt. They start asking themselves: what if a magical stout doesn’t exist?
A cry for help: if you, as a listener, know a stout that might be magical, please send it over or at least let our beer guys know about it.
On this week’s episode:
- O’so Brewing Company – Peanut Butter Soul-ution Imperial Stout from Plover, Wisconsin
Cheers!
While they welcome their new assistant Ashlie to the team, Bob and Doug try and evaluate an unexpectedly good beer. They also explain the procedure when they find a “this might be magic” beer. Is this week’s beer one of those? Listen to the episode and find out.
Pro tip: If Bob and Doug start drinking a beer and immediately stop to talk about the beer they’re drinking, means something interesting is going on.
Featured on this episode:
- Taxman Brewing Company - Qualified (Belgian Quadrupel) from Bargersville, Indiana
Cheers!
Bob and Doug invite bold brewmasters to send them their beer for evaluation. Pour your beer and catch on the latest situation developments with the beer guys. While enjoying this week’s beer, they talk about music and music industry nowadays.
Update on Ashley, their former assistant: in case you’ve missed the story, Ashley helped her boyfriend steal the beer from “the beer cave”, so they had to let her go. They finally found an intern who will help them with the podcast. New intern’s name is Ashlie, working remotely from Philippines so she can’t steal the beer. Smart move.
On this episode:
- Kern River Brewing – Just Outstanding IPA from Kernville, California
Cheers!
Bob and Doug are continuing the good old Stout Hunt! They are still searching for the stout that says “bro, I’m a stout…just shut up and drink me”. Can they find a stout that passes “This is interesting” on the Slooijer’s scale? While on the Stout Hunt they talk movies and share some news.
* Special note to a listener called Feavs: hopefully we’ve improved with the last episode where we’ve talked more about the beer grading scale we use - Slooijer’s Scale.
Beer of the week:
- Founder’s Brewing Co. - Imperial Stout from Grand Rapids, Michigan
Cheers!
Bob and Doug continue to review beer and talk about the world. In a funny way, they share a story of how they became official beer commissioners instead of just being two guys drinking beer in the basement. They’re surely not these Bob and Doug. Also, they attempt to explain why they’ve changed the format of the show by doing only one beer per episode from now on.
This week’s beer:
- Pizza Port Brewing Company - Chronic Amber Ale from Carlsbad, California
Bob & Doug are back for season 16 bringing a cooler full of beer to the party. While enjoying this week’s beer, they talk about reformatting the show, the pandemic, and they remind us they’re still looking for an assistant. Also, they reeducate us on Slooijer Scale, so our listeners could also evaluate beers from their home.
On this week’s episode we bring to you:
- Smog City Brewing - Coffee Porter from Torrance, California
Cheers!
Now, that their assistant Ashley is no longer within the organization, Bob and Doug’s hands are full. However, they managed to save some time for a never-ending Stout Hunt, as well as their new assistant hunt. At attempt #9, is this Nitro Coffee Milk Stout finally the magical Stout they’ve been looking for, or is it a complete fail? Find out!
On this episode:
- Ahnapee Brewery - Little Soldier (Red Ale - American Amber / Red) from Algoma, Wisconsin
- One Barrel Brewing Company - Hypercolor (IPA) from Madison, Wisconsin
- Boulevard Brewing Company - Steep Drop! (Nitro Coffee Milk Stout) from Kansas City, Missouri
Cheers!
Bob and Doug’s brave palates are enduring through this very mean episode while they continue their magical Stout Hunt. Also, they’re in a hunt for a new assistant because someone took the beer from the sacred shelf, and that’s a no-no.
Beer featured on this episode:
- Lagunitas Brewing Company - Brown Sugga’ (Strong Ale) from Petaluma, California
- Surly’s Brewing Company - Damien, Child of Darkness (IPA - Black) from Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Maine Beer Company - Mean Old Tom (Stout) from Freeport, Maine

- Bauhaus - Stargrazer Schwarzbier (Black Beer) from, Minneapolis, Minnesota

The guys are exploding with beer takes this week as the never ending Stout Hunt continues. On the show this week: Alaskan - Husky IPA, Cigar City - Invasion and South Shore Brewing - Rhodes Scholar Stout. Cheers!
In this episode, the fellas continue their search for an elite stout - does it exist? Is it possible? The odds seem to be getting longer as the weeks go by. But, they soldier up the hill with three beers this week:
Untitled Art - Wisconsin Stout
South Shore Brewing - Nut Brown Ale
Arches Brewing - Lloyd's Light
Grab a cold one and share in Bob's misery. I mean, drink along with the guys as they search for magic.
Cheers!
After inducting M-43 into the Top 10 and "enjoying" some sour beers last week, the guys are right on the Stout Hunt. They're going to drink a new stout each episode until they find magic. In this week's episode they enjoy a Hoppy Wheat from Door County Brewing, an Imperial Porter from Griffinclaw and an Oatmeal Stout from Samuel Smith. WTF is a "Tadcaster?" Grab a beer and let's get reviewing...
You never know what will happen during the show and in this episode, the guys bring back a sour and we received a listener contribution from a listener on our Stout Hunt. To say thanks, our listener Rob from Indiana get a promotion.
After the coronation of M-43 last week, the guys are right back on the trail for MAGIC. It's a tough job but someone needs to do it.
This week:
Southern Tier - Citrus Punch Imperial Wheat Ale
Alesmith - Speedway Stout
Brooklyn Brewing - Bel Air Sour
It's a special night on the World's Top 10 Beers Podcast. Old Nation's M-43 was rated on the Slooijer Scale as "This Might Be Magic." That means the beer earned its chance to take on the World's Top 10 Beers list. Bob & Doug evaluated M-43 as a match to take on #8 New Belgium's "Abbey" and take it from there. Beat Abbey and it goes up to take on #7. Lose to Abbey and it will have to take on #9. Will M-43 WIN TO GET IN?
Good Luck to Old Nation Brewing!
In this week's episode, the guys enjoy their first Oktoberfest beer of the year, a big-ass NE IPA and they continue their mission to find a magical Stout. We are going to taste a Stout each week until we find magic! And, you know what, there might be magic in this episode.
In this week's episode:
Modern Times - Black House Stout
3 Sheeps - Oktoberfest
Old Nation - M-43
The guys are back with a new series of episodes and this week we drink a sour for the first time in a LOOOOONG time. If you are a longtime fan you remember the "WORST BEER IN THE WORLD" Untitled Art's Florida Weiss. It has taken us almost 2 years to come back to a Sour and this is the week.
We also check out a beer from New Glarus - can they brew anything other than Spotted Cow?
Plus Stone shows up with their omnipresent IPA. How have we not reviewed this one before?
On tap this week:
Indeed - Lucy Session Sour
New Glarus - Kid Kolsch
Stone - IPA
Bob & Doug are back to their roots by exploring three new beers from the Beer Cave. Dr. Pilsnerstein has selected Elysian "Day Glow" IPA, Firestone Walker's "NITRO Merlin" Stout, Mikerphone's "Heads Will Roll" IPA.
Will we find magic in any of these bottles? Grab the Slooijer Scale and drink along with us! Here's a link to the scale - it's a must have: bit.ly/2ZgcFSL
Ballast Point's Grapefruit Sculpin is fighting to prove there IS MAGIC in that battle by landing a spot in the World's Top 10. This week, it's up against New Belgium's "Abbey Dubbel," to see if it can win. If not, it will have to take on Karben 4's "Silk Scorpion." You gotta win to get in...good luck!
Tonight is the crowing, perhaps, for Grapefruit Sculpin IPA. On the ancient Slooijer Scale, the beer rated as "This Might Be Magic." That means it needs to defeat a beer in the Top 10 to join the group.
In this episode the beer takes on Surly's "Todd the Axe Man" (currently ranked #6 in the world) to see if it can earn its spot.
Grab a beer and let's see if Sculpin can join the most exclusive Beer list on the planet!

Appearing this week, two good beers: Double Daisy Cutter IPA from Half Acre Brewing and Banjo Cat from One Barrel Brewing. Crack a beer and let's get drinking!
Following the carnage of the "ep122: IPA SHOWDOWN," Bob & Doug ponder life without three of their favorite beers in the top 10. They soldier on to find new, worthy beers by tasting Untitled Art's "Florida Weiss" and Sierra Nevada's "Narwhal."
Also in this episode they debate if each style of beer is required to have it's own slot in the top 10.
One of the beers was not that great "That beer is not a thing."
Cheers!
On the suggestion of the Chairman Bob & Doug taste test four similar beers on the World's Top 10: Fantasy Factory, Zombie Dust, Space Station Middle Finger and Psuedo Sue. Four beers entered the taste test and only one beer will survive on the World's Top 10. Which craft beer tastes the best and will win a double-blind experiment?
Our new favorite listener Linda is geeked about the beer coming from Verona, WI. So, she sent us two great beers to evaluate for the World's Top 10: "Lazarite" from WarPigs Brewing and "Magic Dragon" from Hop Haus Brewing. Will either make the World's Top 10 List?

Crack a cold one and fire up this week's World's Top 10 Beers podcast.
Enjoy!
After a short summer vacation, the guys are back to enjoy Central Waters Brewing "Mudpuppy Porter" to see if it deserves a spot in the World's Top 10.

Take a listen and make sure to send your feedback (and beer !) to @sendusbeers on twitter. Enjoy!
Thanks to listener Matt from Hoffman Estates, IL for sending Door County Brewing's "Lete Farmhouse Ale" for considering and testing on this week's episode.

Listener Josh sent Bob & Doug Tallgrass Brewing's "Buffalo Sweat Stout." Will this robust stout with a "creamy mouth feel" earn it's spot in the World Beer Federation's Top 10 Beers?
