Rodenbach Evolved Caractere - Fidens Blending Dreams - ep691 19:08

9h ago19:08

19:08

We're feeling a little fruity this episode. We need more fruited beers. Rodenbach has always been a solid, dependable brewery cranking out Flemmish red ales for a long time. Recently they have started experimenting more. Evolved Caractere is a raspberry and mango sour beer that's somehow light on all of those things. At 7.2% ABV, we want stronger f…

Brauhaus Riegele Weizen Doppelbock Augustus - Koningshoeven La Trappe Quadrupel - ep690 17:36

7d ago17:36

Fall has arrived and just in time for Halloween we found some scary fun beers. Brauhaus Riegele Weizen Doppelbock Augustus is a classic German style that you don't find very often. A weizen doppelbock is a top-fermented beer with a fuity, roasty taste. We will never say no to a traditional German style. Koningshoeven La Trappe Quadrupel is a Belgia…

Fidens Jasper with Peach - Brujos TDH San Nosferatu - ep689 16:47

14d ago16:47

16:47

We have a couple of heavy hitters today. Fidens and Brujos are two of the top hazy beer creators in the US. If you get lucky enough to try their beers, don't pass up on the chance. We certainly didn't. Fidens Jasper with Peach is their classic Jasper NEIPA make with citra hops, but they added peaches. It's a fun mix of peaches and IPA. Brujos TDH S…

Martin also went to Poland this year. He went to Wrocław. It's just Northwest of Krakow. While he was there he tried many many many many many many beers. He also found a couple to bring back with him. First is from Inne Beczki. Martin thought Miami would be a sour beer. Instead it's a pale lager or as they call it, an American lager. We follow that…

Tiny Hill Merrimack - Baghaven Art Decadence Blend 1 - ep687 25:03

We're keeping the Danish theme alive this week with a new brewery and a closed brewery. Tiny Hill in Copenhagen just has 4 beers listed on UnTapped. Merrimack is one of their first beers. It's a 5.5% ABV hazy IPA. Björn drops some serious Civil War knowledge on us about the Merrimack and its ties to Sweden. Baghaven was one of our favorite brewery …

55:09

10 Year is a long time. We can hardly believe it ourselves. To celebrate we brought together Björn and Martin to go head to head in our toughest Game of Beers yet! Five rounds, winner takes all for the ultimate bragging glory. Who knows their beer trivia? Who can pick the right lager? It was a very close race but only one could survive. We want to …

Malmo Mead and Cocktail - Ask Staff IPA, Tropical Blueberry, Exclusive Peach 20:02

2M ago20:02

20:02

We've talked about Malmö Taproom many times but did you know they have a second bar (some would say hidden) bar? Just behind Malmö Taproom is Malmo Mead and Cocktail Bar. It's a small room with lots of meads, cocktails and craft beer. We tried the cleverly titled Ask Staff IPA. This is a solid IPA that wasn't on the Taproom menu. We followed that u…

Gaststatte kolsch - Muhlen kolsch - ep683 22:13

2M ago22:13

22:13

If you're a bar and you're only going to serve one beer, it better be a good one. In Malmö, we have a series of Czech inspired bars that only serve the same beer. Now, we have a kolsch style bar. Based on the German concept, Gaststatte kolsch has one beer, Muhlen kolsch. It's only served one size, 20cl. They will keep bringing you glasses as long a…

Traquair 900 07 - Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 06 - ep682 22:13

3M ago22:13

22:13

Summe is over and the fall is fast approaching. To celebrate Martin dusted off some forgotten beers from his cellar to remind us that somethings don't need to be saved forever. Traquair 900 (2007) is an English barleywine. Barleywines are great to age...for a little while. After awhile it comes oddly minty. Not sure why it does but it's an instant …

Drottningholms Sur - Flying Guru Hrym - ep681 23:38

3M ago23:38

23:38

As the summer starts to wind down, we still want to take a moment to apprecaite the sun and fun. What better way then with two light, refreshing sour beers. Drottningholms Sur blends blueberries, black currants and honey for a heavy hitting 7% AVB sour. Flying Guru Hrym is a farmhouse ale aged for 14 months and 8 months on riesling grapes before be…

Drowned Lands - Fern - Black Gold - ep680 17:53

3M ago17:53

17:53

We got to try a double shot of Drowned Lands. It's a new brewery from the US for us. Fern is a 6.5% ABV NEIPA. Made with lots of wheat and oats and hopped with strata and citra, it's a juicy little number. With a name like Fern you would think it would be more earthy. Black Gold Coffee is a straight down the middle bourbon barrel aged imperial stou…

Funky Fluid Gelato Plum and Cherry Jam Gingerbread - Kingpin Burlesca - ep680 14:50

3M ago14:50

After featuring Funky Fluid/Nerdbrewing collab last week, we thought it woudl be fun to return to Poland and try some more beers. Funky Fluid Gelato is their marquee beer. They crank out a lot of them. Stefan picked up Plum and Cherry Jam Gingerbread. Swedes love these flavors so it's only natural that we should have this beer on the show. At 5.5% …

Hannes over at Nerdbrewing has been quite for a while. After leaving Molecule he's taken some time to figure out his next step. Now he's back with two killer collabs. First is a collab with Smedsbo Slott called Karamellstout. This is a 12% ABV imperial stout that uses Palo Santo (listen to find out what that is) and vanilla. It's an interesting ble…

Salikatt Camel Up - Moersleutel Barcode: Nitro Blue - ep678 16:28

3M ago16:28

We had some fun this episode. We got two beers to put us right in the mood to drink beer. (Honestly, all beers put us right in the mood to drink beer.) Norwegian brewery Salikatt Camel Up is an 8% AVB hazy DIPA. Made with citra dynaboost, citra cryo and galaxy hops, it packs a fruity, delicious punch. Moersleutel Barcode: Nitro Blue is part of the …

Summer sours are the best kind of sours. Martin reached into his cellar and brought out a couple of treats for us to try. Originally released in 2019, Speciation Extropian is a wild ale with peaches, cinnamon and vanilla. It was part of the Mikkeller Beer Club, back when that was a thing. We follow it with Side Project Blueberry Flanders (Blend #2)…

Stefan went on a bit of a summer trip and brought back some beers. He visited Poland. The craft beer scene in Poland is strong and very alive. He was able to visit tons of craft beer bars and didn't try the same beer twice. Browar Artezan has released a traditional Polish beers style called a grodziskie. It's a light abv beer with hints of smoke. F…

This Berliner Weisse is packed with raspberry and passion fruit. At only 4.7% ABV, it will help you cool off. Broughton Brewery Wee Jock 90 Shilling is a wee heavy or scotch ale. It's not a l…

Common Roots Spinner - Burning Sky Anniversaire - ep674 13:42

5M ago13:42

13:42

It was the best of time. It was the worst of times. Martin brought two beers for this episode, which includes one of Stefan's least favorite styles. Next to Black IPA, witbier is his one of his least favorites. There's a reason in 674 episodes there have never been a review. We love our virginity to Common Roots Spinner. This 4.5% ABV witbier has c…

This NEIPA comes in at 8.1% ABV made with British Ale yeast and hopped with Citra, NZ Rakau and EU Enigma. This is a stone fruit bomb.

Even though it's bright and sunny, we still like to keep it dark. First up we're treated to a collaboration between great breweries. Stigbergets teamed up with The Kernel to create a traditional English porter. Taking inspiration from an 1800's London Porter recipe, Victorian Porter is a roasted delight. We follow that up with a big imperial stout …

It's time to play Martin's favorite game. Let's discover a new brewery. It's not so much a game as an obesssion. This time he found a brewery from Ontario, Canada. Badlands Brewing has some releases at Systembolaget so we jumped at the chance to try them. Secret Wave is an annual release of a Hazy IPA. Made with galazy, nectaron and simcoe, it's go…

21:35

We're all about education on this show. Over the years we've learned a lot about beer and beer styles. This episode we learn about NEIPA and how to best store them. Stefan has been doing this for years but Batch Brewing is educating the masses. Because NEIPA tend to settle over time, they created This Side Up, a NEIPA at 8.5% ABV. The label is upsi…
