Wait... Does This Mean That People Don't Like Massive Drinks?

It's Highball time in the studio - and there's a reason for that. I don't know if the impending closure of HighBall down in OTR is a sign of people not liking the cocktail, or just the natural turnover of bars - but I for one... like drinking them. We also talked about Fabled Brew Works and their upcoming international tap takeover, the downfall of Schlitz, and we'll try to figure out what mystery bar and restaurant is for sale in Mason. All of this is fueled by today's rum choice - Captain Morgan, that aforementioned HighBall, MadTree's Queen City Pale Ale, and a beer that unexpectedly got pulled from the fridge - something called Ožujsko... which I don't know how to pronounce, but I now know how to drink... It's a great episode!

It's Summer Drinking Season!

This time of year feels like it was MADE for drinking something tasty. So what type of gnome would I be if I DIDN'T have something? I continue my quest through rum with a little taste of some Rhum Agricole in the form of Rhum JM VSOP, and follow that up with two beers - a perfectly on theme can of Rhinegeist Summer (a lemonade shandy) and a can of Highgrain and Nine Giant's 'High Giant' collaboration. Good show? Yeah, good show. Standard mistakes... yeah, I make some of those.

Pa Rum Pa Rum Rum

It continues... my quest to better fill the gaps in my "rum knowledge," and I do it exactly how you think I would - by drinking rum. This week I went with four different bottles, including two high-proof rums that will knock your socks off. I kicked the show off, though with a can of Firestone Walker's Oak Aged Oktoberfest, which despite having a little age on it, was fantastic. We talked about the upcoming closure of Paradise East - and how it makes us feel... and then we drank more rum to make ourselves feel better about it all. A typical weekly pint if I do say so myself.

They Made What?!?

With a bunch of fun new products being announced by local places this week, we have plenty to talk about on tonight's episode of 'The Show That Isn't A Show" - fueled by a mystery beer pick (that ends up being so good I had to pick the second choice too)! The Rumination continues with a bottle of Plantation (or is that Plantaray?)... all in all... It's a great way to kick off a new week!

Who's Actually Winning?

In a world that's full of "Pickle PBR" and $3 Pints of beer. Where commodity and art are battling daily, and the industry is getting its butt kicked all over. Where breweries are restaurants, wineries are tearing out their grape vines, booze comes in a little plastic ball... It's worth asking ourselves: Who's actually winning at the end of the day? I don't know that we come to a conclusion in this week's episode, but we do drink some rum and a West Coast IPA from Birdfish. That's a plus!
