Pursued by sinister agents, the Rebels races home through their final matches, custodians of the stolen plans that can save the league and restore freedom to the galaxy… The lads are back on the pod to chat the ever-tightening premier league race, take a look at Europe footie, and discuss Ferris’ recent adventure to the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. However, due to a galactic beer from Blake, the pod takes a detour into a galaxy far far away.

The gents have a look back at the "What the What, It's the FA Cup" Semi-Final round matches. Chelsea somehow manage to play well to a tired Manchester City but it wasn't enough as the Stamford side bows out of the tournament. How on Earth did Manchester United not loose that match??? VAR...that's how, as Haji Wright's aura was allegedly offside.
They also cover a few of the Premier League matches that went on over the weekend before Ron's rant on his favorite blue streaked striker, Nicholas Jackson.
All this followed by news from around the other european leagues; including Bayern Leverkusen winning the budesliga title! this ends Bayern Munich's 11 year winning run. Is Harry Kane Cursed?
This is a jam packed episode with all the craziness that goes along with the Premier League winding down to a three way chase for the title. It's also crazy at the bottom of the table, who will get relegated and will it stand when the PSR rulings come out. Chelsea tops Man United then draw to Sheffield...United loose to Chelsea then dra Liverpool. Are we in the upside down?
For the beer news, Ron has a fun history quiz for the lads for National Beer Day. This one is sure to test you beer history knowledge!
Ferris then wraps us up with the USWNT winning their 7th (5th in a row) She Believes Cup as they top Canada in penalties after extra time!
Pull out a frosty beer and give a listen!
--Cheers
During the second week of the international break, seemed like a good time to deep dive the PSR (Profit & Sustainability Rules).

While Blake is in North Cakalacky (Carolina), FOP Anthony fills in as host. There is a good discussion about the tight race for the Premier League title and just how miserable the bottom of the table is. Chelsea pull out a win over Newcastle and Man U aren't playing all that well despite their spot in the table.
The gents also cover the NWSL preview part one. The kitsare sensational, the new KC Current Stadium is beautiful and there is cheese everywhere!
Grab a beer and give a listen! Cheers!
Ferris and Ron anchor this episode with Blake having been called to work. Thankfully, the guys don't have to hear him wax poetic on Arsenal's 6-nil drubbing of Sheffield United. Who wants to hear all that??!!
Ferris is duely humbled by the Manchester Derby as Manchester is blue; Liverpool leave it exteremly late to take care of Forest and Chelsea snatch a draw from the jaws of a loss they should have won.
In order to clean out the studio fridge to make way for more tasty brew, the guys have a sampler of three new Flying Monkeys IPAs. Grab a favorite IPA and give a cheers and a listen!
Ferris and Blake tackle this pod, as Ron was suspiciously called into to work so he could avoid talking about Chelsea giving Liverpool their first silverware of the Klopp farewell tour. We also go over MLS week 1, new NWSL kits, and the USWNT at the Gold Cup.

The clash of reds is discussed as Arsenal top Liverpool. Did they make the case for being champions, or has the Liverpool defeat handed things to Man City?

The gents have quick discussion about Arsenal doing their best to finish in 2nd place of the Premier League but save all of their energy for the Klopp Kraziness topic. Was Klopp provoked? What did the 4th official say? Will Klopp have 4-6 weeks of rehab? What's going on?
They couldn't help but cover the absolute Spursy nature of the Spurs and what might happen in the summer. Does Harry Kane leave? Do you keep anyone on that squad? Do you burn it all down? At least the spurs drama has distracted from the Chelsea drama!
What a fabulous weekend for the NWSL with goals coming from everyone...Even a keeper gets in on the act!
A jam packed episode for the 198th! Arsenal are doing their best to finish the league in second place and there is a general disagreement of who had the better season; Arsenal or Man United.

Man United pull out another win and you have to wonder if Ronaldo’s back is getting tired from all the heavy lifting. We take a look at their recent form, the downward spiral of Everton, and Chelsea singing the sanctioned blues.
We have three beers of the pod to review for this one. Crack a cold one with us and enjoy the footie banter.

The lads are all back in one place to look at how the dust is settling in a match-postponed-world of Premier League. Rafa is sacked, Tuchel says the boys in blue are just so tired, and everyone is seeing red in London as they blast Arsenal for the North London Derby postponement. The convo gets spicy. We close out with a return of our game show “What the What?! It’s the FA Cup!”.

Happy New Year! The Festive Fixtures have ended, and the Premier League is looking a bit different than it did a few weeks ago. For example: Man City is on fire, and Man United is a dumpster fire. (I guess actually that isn’t that different. But hey, Arsenal are managing to look better.) We take a look at the big four Premier League stories before getting into some beer news and looking at the rest of the soccer news around the rest of the world.

After almost two years, we are all three finally back in the same time zone, same country, same studio! Before getting into the soccer talk, we get an education on a Chinese liquor Ron brought into the studio along with some lager from Beijing. Ferris just got back from a trek in Vermont and also brings a very interesting (and tasty) beer in to review.
The big English footie topic is: Man United getting whooped by their arch rivals Liverpool. We look at some other top stories from the Premier League and then do a quick tour around the major clubs in Europe to see where things stand.
It was great to finally be back together doing what we love. Cheers!

It’s time to look back on the 2020/21 Premier League season. It’s always sad to a see a season end, but in these times, we were already to shuffle this one off and move on to the next. But first, we have to seriously disagree on some of the big takeaways from the season. It’s also a time for us to do a quick wrap up on all the major European leagues and see where things ended. Or in the cast of the Super League, never started.
As always, the show opens with a quick review of some tasty craft beers. This time they are from FL, CA, and China.

The MLS and NWSL has kicked off. We get together in this episode to share a pint and our predictions for the upcoming seasons. Spoiler alert: usually the beer ends up being way better than our predictions when the season ends, but maybe this year is our year to get it right!
This pod goes global as Blake is home in Florida, Ferris is in Dallas, and Ron is in Beijing. The beer choices reflect that, and they were (mostly) very tasty.

We are back from a break to lament the fate of the US Men’s Under-23 National team failing to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics.

It’s that time of year for our favorite games show “What the What? It’s the FA Cup!” Ferris tries to stump us asking questions about recently competing clubs that are not in the Premier League. We also take a look at headlines around the league. Is Man United going to rise to the top? We have opinions.
We have some fun beers of the pod from China, Florida, and Belgium to kick the show off right. Follow us on UNTAPPD to see what we are having.

We are ready to kick 2020 out the door and enjoy a glorious time of Premier League football, the Festive Fixtures. In this episode, we look at the state of the league for the start of the festive season and see where we think things will land.

We tried some fun beers this pod. Ferris brings in the Cuddly Chupacabra from Tactical Brewing in Orlando, FL, while Black rocks the 2XMAS Ale from Southern Tier and Ron enjoys a classic dark German lager.

The Premier League is back and so are we! We finally have a chance to get together and do a preview of the new season. We are admittedly a bit late with a couple of match days already under the belt, but the time between season end and start was pretty quick. It’s time for predictions that I’m sure we’ll be terrible at by season end.
Our beers of the pod came at us very early in the morning as we chat with Ron who is twelve hours ahead of us in Beijing. They come to us from Germany, Florida, and Beijing.

We finally get to wrap up this Premier League season and see just how bad our predictions were. Blake lost the bet with Ferris that Arsenal would finish on top of Man U, so he has to drink the 3-year-old SnapperHead IPA. It did not go well. We also look at the MLS is Back tournament and Arsenal’s win over Chelsea in the FA Cup.

The Premier is finally back from its pandemic pause, and we already have a champion. In just a few short matches, Liverpool is on top, Chelsea, Man City, and Man United have come out strong. Arsenal is…..having problems. We talk all the Premier League news during this scrunched-up schedule so far, as well as look at Bayern Munich who has just become Bundesliga champions. We end the pod with a quick look at the NWSL Challenge Cup.

We hope you all are still doing well out there. We are back to talk about football coming back! We cover the first few matchdays of the Bundesliga, including the recent Dortmund vs. Bayern match. There is also a bit of an update from the Premier League, MLS, and NWSL to cover. Finally, we take a deep dive into the craft beer news around the world.
Our beers of the pod are both collaboration beers. The first is an interesting one from Tactical Brewing and Bogiwens Brewing called 3rd Wheel Hopgoblin. The second beer of the pod is one we’ve been talking about in our recent beer news. This beer is the new famous All Together, a worldwide collaboration beer brewed to support hospitality professionals affected by the shutdowns from Covid-19. The recipe created by Other Half Brewing in NY, has been shared with over 800 breweries worldwide. The one we try is from local Suncreek Brewery in Clermont, FL.

We are back, but not together, as we adhere to the current social distancing standard. Ron and Ferris call into the studio to chat a bit about soccer news. But let’s be honest, there isn’t much. So we go into some craft beer (good) news, and maybe get distracted by discussing Netflix’s TIGER KING. We are doing our best to keep sane in this wild time of our history, and we hope you can forget about your worries for an hour so, and join us for a cold one.
We hope you are able to stay safe at home, and if you are out there in the front lines doing essential work, we thank you.

Well, we are here with a new episode in very weird times. We here at the Brewtiful Game hope you are able to shelter safely in place and stay healthy. And for those of you who can’t because you are on the frontline of essential jobs, we very much thank you. We hope we can provide some distraction to your shelter in place days.
So, what to talk about in these trying times? On the soccer front, we look at how different leagues are approaching their shutdowns during the pandemic. Plus, we vent our frustrations at U.S. Soccer after their president has just stepped down over the wretched handling of the equal pay case with the U.S. Women’s National Team. We think we might have a solution to their problems in our humble opinion. (Spoiler alert: EQUAL PAY!!!)
Beyond these soccer and beer topics, we all have clearly been cooped up inside, as this episode gets a little weird. We go from incest Folgers’ commercials to Olestra chips that cause anal leakage. In other words, we had a great time letting off steam. We hope you can hang out with us and do the same through our show.

We are all three in the studio for this one as we look at the last week of Premier League matches. Blake and Ferris are feeling about their respective teams, Arsenal and Man United, so a Moo Thunder bet is made. The big topic of the week was VAR and it’s lack of consistency. It’s enough to drive a fan of the beautiful game to drink. Speaking of…
Ron just got back from Canada, so he brings in the beer of the pod, and IPA from Las Best Brewery and Distilling located in Alberta Canada.

It’s a special pod. What could bring Ron all the way back from Beijing to join us live in the studio for a special episode? Why none other than the Special One himself, José Mourinho returning to the Premier League. José takes up a good chunk of our Premier League talk before Blake and Ferris bemoan the state of their clubs Arsenal and Man United respectively.

After the Premier League international break, we are back to look at how the storylines are continuing. Tottenham squeaks by with a draw and Man United nets a much-needed point from Liverpool. The race at the top gets a bit tighter. Then it’s time to talk MLS playoffs and the wild opening matches that occurred. The NWSL Final is set, and we take a quick look around the rest of the leagues in Europe.
The beer of the pod is from Four Fathers Brewing Company out of Hespeler Village in Ontario, Canada. We tried one of the Scratch Series experiments; and IPA brewed with Galaxy, Azacca, Citra, and Wakatu hops.

We cover the crazy storylines of the Premier League seeing two mighty teams of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs fall from grace, along with the rise of other clubs into the top 6. From there we predict the outcomes of the MLS and NWSL Playoffs.
Ron calls in from China, and we have our first intercontinental beer tasting, Ron sent himself and us beers we could try with him a world away.

Premier League is rolling along, and our weekend mornings are so much happier for it. In this episode, the boys look at these first few weeks of Premier League and see if trends are already emerging. We also add a segment that takes a quick look at the other leagues in Europe.
We had two beers of the pod, one for us here, and one for Ron in Beijing. Here in the USA, Blake and Ferris had a listener beer sent in from Jeff in New York. The beer was a pilsner-style from Industrial Arts Brewing Company from Garnerville, NY. The second bee was a baby IPA Ron procured in China.

The Premier League is back, and we couldn’t be happier. We discuss a bit of the opening weekend and give our predictions of the season ahead in the season preview. Ron calls in from Beijing to give us some historical info on the newly promoted clubs, and we get some insight into his overseas adventures. Also, Ferris brings in signed goodies from his time at the MLS All-Star match in Orlando.
Speaking of Ferris bringing goodies, he had the beer of the pod bringing us an awesome porter from Ivanhoe Park Brewing Company called Tupac Shaporter. The local Orlando brew was a perfect pairing for today’s episode.

We were finally able to sit down and discuss the final of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Spoiler alert: we have a lot of gushing things to say about the USWNT. I think we were still just as excited as we were when the final whistle blew. From the highs of victory, we go the other route and discuss the Gold Cup final.
In this special episode, we send Ron off in style before work takes him to Beijing for the next two years. But don’t fret, he’ll still be joining us remotely, this is just his last time in the studio for a while. This special occasion called for three beers. One to celebrate the US Women’s National Team’s World Cup Victory, another beer that contains a throwback to Ron’s childhood in New Jersey, and a third beer that is the rarest (and most valuable) that we’ve had on the show. In other words, we toasted Ron properly before he takes off on his travels.

First up was the American Red Lager from Budweiser (definitely the first time they have been on the show), and then a crazy porter from Florida craft brewery Due South. It was their Mexican Standoff; a porter brewed with chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and habanero peppers.

The beer review of the pod was brought in by Ron. It’s the 1554 dark lager from New Belgium Brewing. Ron educates us on the founding of New Belgium which has a fascinating history.

We are back after a bit of a break to discuss the finals of Europe. Some (all?) of these finals were not the most exciting, but they do perhaps give us a glimpse of the Premier League moving forward. Especially when it comes to concerning the dominance of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Our beer review this episode is a listener beer sent in by a lover of nerdom the speaks fluent Blake. The beer is Tropicália by Creature Comforts from Athens, GA. It was featured in the Marvel film AVENGERS: ENDGAME, where it was enjoyed by Thor himself. When listener Jared Ross King saw Blake share an article about the craft beer making it into the film, Jared knew he had to send some for the show. Jared, you rock!
The end of the 2018-2019 Premier League season is upon us. We celebrate not only a fun season but our three year anniversary of starting the podcast. After watching the trophy get lifted, we jumped into the studio to reflect on all that this wonderful season had given us. During the show, we also look at how bad or accurate some of our predictions were, and sum up our favorite moments of the season.
We had FOUR beers to review for this show. (I apologize in advance). It was a wide variety of styles starting with a farmhouse Imperial Stout called Black Metal by Jester King Brewing, the Schevchenko 9 Euro Dark Lager from Four Fathers Brewing, a Bohemian Pilsner from Patagonia, and a Bourbon Barrel aged limited release of Polygamy Porter from Wasatch Brewing.
Thanks for listening and joining us these past three years. Cheers!

The Premier race is coming to a close. It looks like Man City and Liverpool are up for the challenge, but we discuss how the rest of the top 6 seem to not even care about staying in a Champions League spot. Speaking of the Champions League, how about that Messi goal? We dive into Barcelona vs. Liverpool, as well as Ajax and the Spurs semi-final matches. Last but not least, we take a look at the newly announced the U.S.A.’s National Women’s Soccer Team World Cup squad.
Beer of the pod is a craft Mexican style lager from Chihuahua Cerveza brought in by Blake. Great beer for chatting some soccer over.

Ron is freshly back from China with a ton of jet lag as we sit down to discuss the latest soccer happenings. The Premier League top 6 race is on as Ferris’ beloved Man United currently sit below Blake and Ron’s respective teams, Arsenal and Chelsea. We then look at the massive Champions League win of Tottenham over Manchester City and finish up with our predictions for the NWSL season that has just begun.
Since everyone was so tired from work and travel, Blake brought in an appropriate pick-me-up beer for us to review this episode. He went with a Central Florida brew from Brew Hub called Matte Black; a schwarzbier, or black lager, that was brewed with cold brew coffee.

We are back with another addition of the new game show “What the What?! It’s the FA Cup!”. We also dive into some of the crazy upsets from the Premier League’s 24th match week. Bournemouth was on fire! Chelsea was…not. In fact, this match inspired a song parody that starts around 1:15:10 on the show. Enjoy.
Our beers of the pod are Brough in by Ron. The first beer is a highly rated White IPA from Moa Brewing in Marlborough, New Zealand. We finish off the show with a beer from Hespeler Village in Ontario, Canada. It’s a Four Father's Brewing IPA from their scratch series. This was batch IV 008.

It’s time to talk Premier League, and discuss what Manchester United should do when it comes to finding their permanent manager. We also talk a little MLS Super Draft, and cover some English Football espionage that occurred recently.
Our beer of the pod brings a history lesson with as we go try the All Saints Einbecker Ale from Castle Church Brewing Community. This beer is based on the ale that Martin Luther himself preferred, and was very popular in the Middle Ages. This new brewery recently opened here in Central Florida, and is actually a church that is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. For those of you visiting Orlando for vacation, it’s located near the airport, so plan accordingly.

The Festive Fixtures of the Premier League have come to a close, and with it, many a storyline have developed. We are here to talk about them all, especially Manchester City and Liverpool. We take a look at the big news of Christian Pulisic joining Chelsea FC, and discover a new gameshow called “What the What?! FA Cup!”
The first beer reviewed in this episode comes from a listener, it’s a delicious pilsner from Pfriem Brewing in Hood River, Oregon. Ferris surprised us with a second beer for the pod, and it is from none other than the musicians of “Mmm Bop” fame, the Hanson Brothers. I can safely say, we weren’t expecting that.

Boxing Day is here, otherwise known as Soccer Christmas, and this glorious day gives us tons of Premier League matches to talk about. But let’s get real, the reason we really love the Boxing Day Special, is because we get to try three new Holiday brews. This year is very special, because all of the brews come from three different listeners. Thank you all so much!
Our first beer is Doggie Claws from Hair of the Dog Brewery in Portland, Oregon. Not only did this delicious barely wine show up for us, but Matt from Portland gave us his report from attending the MLS Cup match in Atlanta. Thanks for an inside look from a visitor’s view, and for this great beer, Matt! Our next beer is Office Party from Abita Brewing, and the final is The Chocolate Manifesto from Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery. It was a treasure trove of new holiday favorites.
We hope you have had a wonderful Holiday season, and are primed to have a very happy New Year. Thanks for joining us for 2018, here’ s to 2019. Slainte!

José, José, José…we are going to miss having you in the Premier League. In this latest show we talk some recent Premier League matches, but the discussion is really all about the firing of José Mourinho and what Manchester United will now do to regain glory. We also discuss the new playoff format MLS has unveiled for next season.
We review four different beers throughout the soccer talk of this episode. The first, brought in from a listener, is an MLS themed beer from Three Taverns Brewery in Decatur, Georgia. It’s their Rowdy and Proud pale ale for Atlanta United. The next three beers are brought in from Ron continuing our New Zealand beer education. We try three pale ales from Montheith’s Brewing Company located in Greymouth, New Zealand.
From all of us here at The Brewtiful Game, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We talk the highlights of last week’s Premier League matches, how things have shaken out to the Round of 16 for UEFA Champions League, the draw for the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and last but not least, Atlanta United being crowned this season’s champion of MLS after a fantastic season.
Ron keeps bringing the beers from down under as he brings in a beer from Bridge Road Brewers in Beechworth, Victoria, Australia. It is their super rare holiday seasonal, MAGICAL CHRISTMAS UNICORN Vanilla Ice Cream Ale. Wow! What a beer. As you’ll hear, this one really caught us off guard.

In this episode we talk about an angry Juan Mata being disrespected by Raheem Sterling as Manchester United gets squashed by Manchester City. After covering the recent big Premier League matches, we look at Borussia Dortmund smacking down Bayern Munich, and then how MLS playoffs have shaken out so far.
Ron brought in three special beers from his travels for this episode. The first two are found in Australia. The first brew is a Melbourne Bitter, one of Australia’s best selling, and most common beers. The next Aussie beer is a craft brew from Sow & Piglets Brewery in 12 Apostles, Australia.
The final beer of the pod was in honor of Veterans' Day. The beer came from veteran owned Tattered Flag Brewery in Middletown, PA. It was a delicious IPA called ‘Knife Fight in a Phone Booth.” Definitely one of the best beer names we’ve had on the show.

This of course includes the almost-fight of José Mourinho and Chelsea’s Maro Ianni. From there we look to the almost complete MLS Playoff picture, and the qualifying of the U.S. Women’s National Team for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
An awesome listener from southern FL provided us with two fantastic beers. One from Due South Brewing, and the other from 26 Degrees Brewing. For those of you in our Premier League fantasy competition, these beers were provided by the manager of Krul Summer FC, who is currently sitting at the top of the league. Give a listen for our review, and thanks so much to our listener for introducing us to these brews.

Premier League is almost back! We are so excited to share our second Premier League season preview with you. Time has flown by. We take a look at the upcoming season, and make our predictions on how things will unfold.
Ron brings in a listener beer for us to try this episode. Despite the fact we've already tried two of their beers on previous episodes (and they were...not exactly hits with the gang) one of our longtime listeners wanted us to give a third beer from Butternut Brewing a chance. Is third time the charm? We've tried Moo Thunder and Porkslap on previous episodes, but this one is their IPA Farmhouse ale called Snapperhead. Ferris' reaction to this before we actually tried the beer, says he didn't exactly have a lot faith this would turn out well.
Ron also had a second listener beer from one of our Canadian followers. This one was the Powerhouse Pale Ale from Mt. Begbie Brewing Company. I think this was his backup plan in case things went south with the first beer.
We'll be running another Premier League Fantasy contest, so keep an eye out for details.

After the World Cup talk, we discuss the hiring of James O'Connor to MLS side Orlando City SC. We also take a bit of a dive into the overall state of MLS.
We have two beers to review this pod. The first is brought to us by Ferris, and it is from 7venth Sun Brewery in Dunedin, FL. It was a sour Berliner Weisse called Freak Your Tiki, and was unlike anything we've had on the show so far.
Our second beer was brought in by Blake, who also kept things local with a brew from Cigar City Brewing from Tampa, FL. This Red India Pale Ale called Tocobaga was a nice addition to their already fine line of ales.

Group Stage of the World Cup is done already? It's gone by so quick. Probably because it's been one of the best World Cup Group Stages to watch. In this new episode, we talk some favorite highlights and look ahead to the knockout rounds. We end the show with our thoughts on Wayne Rooney joining MLS as a player for D.C. United.
The beer of this pod is brought to us by a listener from New York (thanks, Jeff!). It's a very juicy, double dry hopped IPA called Down Under Bomb from Sloop Brewing Company. It was as cloudy as orange juice, and super citrusy. Give a listen to the beginning of the pod for our full review.

What a jerk.
On a happier note, Blake brings another tasty beer from Lancaster Brewing. It's a delicious New England style India Pale Ale.

After a week break, the boys are back to review an awesome brew from Lancaster Brewing Company and discuss what's been happening in the English Premier League and MLS. Our beer was caffeinated, so we might have taken a detour into creating a Netflix style British mafia tv show starring some of our favorite soccer players.
Once we get back to the soccer, we discuss the rise of the Man City juggernaut, Chelsea's star striker, and the antics of José Mourinho. When then move to the domestic game and the road to the MLS Cup. This also includes us wallowing in the misery that is the current state of Orlando City Soccer Club.
Blake brought the beer that was shared to him from the brewmaster of Lancaster Brewing Company in Lancaster, PA. It was a delicious IPA brewed with coffee that perked us up perfectly for the show.

Blake is just happy we aren't talking about Arsenal.
Blake takes a deep dive into his anger at the current Arsenal situation, and serves up a hearty helping of hate cake. Ferris and Ron desperately try to talk about the rest of the Premier League weekend, but Blake's rage kept bringing it back to Arsenal. Thankfully, Ferris brought a great IPA from DuClaw Brewing Company to calm the waters. (Spoilers...it didn't work.)
In honor of the Arsenal vs Liverpool match, Ferris brought in the Fast Faster & Disaster IPA from DuClaw Brewing Company. Blake decided, that if Arsenal was going to be discussed, he would need something extra, and provided the Diplomatico Añejo Rum. (It's hard being an Arsenal fan right now.)

Wow! With this Premier League wrap up episode, we have officially been producing The Brewtiful Game show for a year. Thank you so much to everyone that has been listening along the way. We love doing the show for you all, and we look forward to sharing the next year with you, as well. (Correction: due to a typo on show notes, we stated Liverpool was third and Manchester City was fourth. That should have been the other way around. Sorry. We were excited to celebrate our 1 year.)
Now, on to the new episode. For our year anniversary, we go with the same topic our first show covered. We wrap up our thoughts on another fun Premier League season. We pick our top highlights, and see how we did with the predictions we made. The tally of our fantasy league is discussed, and we see who the winners and losers are.
Ferris brought the beer, and in honor of the anniversary, picked the three different beers we had for our very first episode. A sentimental and delicious choice.
That wasn't the only beer consumed in this episode. Blake and Ferris had a bet about weather Manchester United or Arsenal would end up higher than the other. Ferris lost this bet, and had to drink a strange concoction of a beer float made with Moo Thunder.
Again, we thank you all so much for listening. You give three friends an excuse to get together and be idiots while chatting about beer and soccer. We are so grateful.

Since this was our first Boxing Day Special, Blake decided to go big with the Christmas beers. They are all from Belgium, they are all delicious, and they will all keep you warm on a cold night.
The first was the Christmas Ale from St. Bernardus, followed by the Gouden Carolus Noël, and we finished off with the Scaldis Noël from Dubuisson. There was a lot of good discussion about these beers (and good discussion BECAUSE of these beers).

We gathered together a few days before Christmas to talk a bit about recent Premier League matches, and some soccer news that is closer to home for us Orlando-based soccer fans. We called up our resident NWSL and all women's soccer expert, Caitlin Elliot, to discuss the recent news of Alex Morgan deciding to play a part of next season in the France. This will leave her missing a few months of the upcoming season with the Orlando Pride. We also discussed Caitlin's unfortunate choice of becoming a Hull supporter in the Premier League this year. At least she got a sweet Hull City onesie out of it.
Since it is close to Christmas, Blake introduced the crew to the legend of Krampus with Southern Tier Brewing's seasonal Imperial Helles Lager. You can enjoy his dramatic reading of the legend of this Krampus beer. Sound effects were provided live by Ron and Ferris.
We will be recording a special Boxing Day episode immediately following the Premier League matches on Boxing Day, so be on the lookout for that. We'll also be live-tweeting during the matches.

This is a fun episode, and we laugh more than we ever have in a show before. Week 14 of the English Premier League was good one, El Clasico was great, and we also talk about the upcoming MLS Cup Final between Toronto FC and the Seattle Sounders.
Maybe it was Ferris deciding to go with two beers that had us finding everything way too funny. His first choice was the official beer of the current table leaders, Chelsea. It's lager from Thailand called Singha.
After striking up a conversion with comic book writer Pete Rogers on Twitter about attending AFC Bournemouth's Summer Soccer Camp and reading monthly football comic books in the UK , Ferris put it all together with his next choice. The Defender IPA from Brooklyn Brewery. The official beer of New York Comic Con.
You can check out some of Pete's comic work and where to find it HERE. You'll even find one he wrote called Fame: David Beckham.

After a Thanksgiving break, we return to discuss Premier League soccer, as well as covering Bruce Arena again taking the helm of the men's United States Soccer Team.
Ron was in charge of the beer for this one, and he made up for us missing a week by going with a three course episode.
We tried beers from Dogfish Brewery, Lost Coast Brewery, and also a beer called Pork Slap. We have...thoughts about that last one.

We take a look a the last two matches of the United States Women's National Team versus Romania, and the total breakdown the United States Men's National Team suffered at the hands of Mexico and Costa Rica. The men's matches were for World Cup qualifying, so let's just say, we aren't very happy in the last half of the episode.
What did make us happy was a beer Ferris introduced to us. He chose a beer in honor of the recently observed Veteran's Day. Dog Tag Brewing's Legacy Lager is a great beer with a great purpose. 100% of their profits go to Gold Star Families. Please give a visit to their website and pick up a four pack.

Our beer review of the pod came to us from Lazy Magnolia Brewery, the oldest brewery in Mississippi.
