Pint Sized History: The Beer Too Illegal for the Band, and the Movie It Inspired

Beer isn’t just a drink. It’s shaped music, movies… and sometimes even crime. This is the story of how one beer turned rock stars into smugglers and became the star of a Hollywood chase. Pint Sized History is a new series interspersed between full episodes of Rock-N-Brews.  Fun little stories that have some pretty fun twists.  They don't take much time, but they inspire curiosity and sometimes wonder over this liquid we like to drink so much. So grab a beer and settle in.

E015 - Gambling, Styx, Watermelon Crawl and Willy Wonka

This week Jon and Thomas are joined by Bekah so you know it's going to be hysterical. We kick off with a solid IPA brought to us by Scott (Buttercup) straight from Washington state and talk about how you can check a suitcase with as much beer as you want. The we have a little intervention and discuss gambling problems with Bekah and how Carter's getting into it too.   We try a new beer Bekah brought back from PA called Renegade, a beer linked to Styx (the band, not the river), talk about the song Watermelon Crawl and how illegal it is for that festival to happen in Georgia and finish out with conspiracies.

E014 - Mimosa Aftermath, When Harry Met Sally's Wings, Wedding Crashers and Russian Soft Drinks

On this episode, Jon and Thomas take one for the team and try a few beers. * Joey broughts us a family size can of Steel Reserve (swill) , an 8.1% malt liquor from Steel Brewing Company * Nicole brought us Founder’s Mortal Bloom.  A hazy IPA clocking in at 6.2%. She also wrapped the cans in a very nice decorated paper bag. * My Dad send me back Cherry Chouffe, and amazingly crisp cherry beer which is a whopping 8% Imported by Duvel Moorgat Topics of the show include - * customers that love our beer and wings, almost to the point they needed to get a room.  There was a brewery disaster that left the brewery closed for 2 1/2 days over THE most important drinking holiday - St. Patrick's Day. * The brewery garden club takes off under the green thumb of Keri.  * The band you like, but didn't know you liked. * How Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin are out to trick you into thinking they have the tech to go to space and back and the subliminal Satanic messaging behind it * A new segment called Fun Facts, will blow your mind, at least until you understand the math behind it. And also how much we now respect Russians.
