The Wandering Tortoise Sour Fest: 15 Beers, Ceviche, Poke Banh Mi & One Giant Straw

Surprise Beer Crawl: O.H.S.O., Head Right Brewing, Manny’s Place & Pizza

Episode 15 - We kicked off a full West Valley beer day with breakfast beers at O.H.S.O. Surprise, including penny pours, crispy potatoes, and one breakfast sandwich that Dedra may never emotionally recover from. From there, we checked out the brand-new Head Right Brewing in Surprise, a massive hidden brewery with big potential, classic beer styles, a food truck, and a little Weller bourbon redemption. After that, we stopped at one of our favorite tap houses, Manny’s Place, where we accidentally brought brewery-crawl energy into what may have been a silent reading event. Then we wrapped the day at Deno’s Pizza with BYOB beers, pizza, wings, and a Tree House beer share with friends. This episode is all about craft beer, questionable breakfast decisions, new brewery discoveries, local tap house love, and the kind of beer day that starts at 9 a.m. and somehow ends with coolers full of cans in a pizza place.

Boston’s Night Shift Brewing + Italian Food So Good It Made Dedra Angry

Episode 14 - We’re wrapping up our Boston trip with one last brewery stop, and this one deserves way more time than we gave it. In this episode of The Adam & Dedra Show, we visit Night Shift Brewing in Boston after a full day in Salem, squeeze in a couple beers before closing, take in a beautiful waterfront sunset, and somehow end the night with Italian food so good it makes Dedra angry. We kick things off with Lunch from Maine Beer Company, a smooth and dangerously easy-drinking 7% IPA, before diving into our quick stop at Night Shift Brewing. Adam tries Double Parked, an 8.5% double IPA, Dedra grabs the hazy Fluffy, and we bring home Pie Scraper, a pumpkin pie ale that sounded amazing but didn’t quite hit the fall dessert dream we were hoping for. Then it’s off to Boston’s North End for dinner at Quattro, where brick oven pizza, linguini with clams, halibut acqua pazza, wine, fresh bread, and sauce-dipping happiness completely steal the show. We also cover Boston concert crowds, waterfront fishing, weird brewery bathrooms, almost-Uber mistakes, and why Lake Pleasant may only have one tired fish that everyone takes turns catching.

Salem Beer Crawl: Notch Brewing, East Regiment & A Witchside Tavern

Episode 13 could not have worked out better if we planned it... because this time, we’re taking the show to Salem, Massachusetts. That’s right: our spooky-numbered episode just happened to be about witches, Hocus Pocus filming locations, old New England buildings, tourist shops, breweries, chowda, fried shrimp, and one very dark beer that looked like it came straight out of an oil pan. In this episode of The Adam & Dedra Show, we recap our day trip from Boston to Salem, including stops at Notch Brewing, East Regiment Beer Company, Witch Side Tavern, and Dire Wolf Tavern. We talk about Salem’s witch history, Dedra’s love of Halloween, Hocus Pocus nostalgia, the difference between Salem and Boston, and why missing a train sometimes just means you get one more beer. Our featured beer for this episode is Chai Marty from Prairie Artisan Ales, a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with espresso, chai, and honey. It clocks in at 13.6% ABV, which means it fit perfectly with Episode 13 and Salem’s spooky little vibe. If you love craft beer, brewery travel, New England food, Halloween, Salem, Boston day trips, or just watching a husband and wife turn a vacation into a full beer-and-food adventure, this episode is for you.

Trillium Visit, Then We Chased Tree House Beer in Boston… and Ended Up at a Kiosk

Episode 12 - In this episode of The Adam & Dedra Show, we’re taking the Boston beer adventure back to Massachusetts with a trip to Trillium Brewing, a surprise Tree House Brewing beer garden, and one dangerously smooth 10.7% quadruple IPA: Tree House Haze Infinite. We break down the hazy IPAs, porters, barrel-aged stout temptation, brewery food, and the chaos of trying to experience Tree House without actually making it to the brewery. We also dive into our Boston food stops, including Trillium’s empanadas and Asian spare ribs, a massive crab and shrimp BLT from Faneuil Hall, live music in the rain, questionable brewery hats, missed merch regrets, and the kind of travel planning mistake that ends with buying 20-something cans of beer from a Tree House kiosk. If you love craft beer, brewery travel, hazy IPAs, Boston food spots, Tree House Brewing, Trillium Brewing, and husband-and-wife banter with a side of food-fueled chaos, this episode is for you. Featured Beer: Tree House Haze Infinite Brewery Stops: Trillium Brewing and Tree House Brewing Food Stops: Trillium Brewing, Faneuil Hall, West End Strollers Location: Boston, Massachusetts Come for the beer, stay for the experience, and leave with new food places to try out.

Boston Beer Weekend: Sam Adams Taproom, Rare Brewery Pours & Late Night Pizza

In this episode, they recap their stop at the Sam Adams Downtown Taproom, their behind-the-scenes R&D brewery tour, exclusive small-batch beers, a barrel-aged Boston Lager they still can’t stop thinking about, and the dangerous featured beer of the episode: Beer Zombies 16oz Love Letters West Coast Triple IPA. Along the way, they talk Boston food, rainy weather, late-night pizza at 21st Amendment, getting skunked at Cheers, hunting for a real Boston accent, and why the craft beer experience is always about more than just what’s in the glass.
