"Live" from LA Beer Week Kickoff Event… it's the Biddies!

79: Lost Lake Cider Dry Apple Cider feat. Laurie ("Laurosaurus")

"This is the worst podcast ever for me to be on." "That sounds like cider: weird wine plus apple juice." "I only get my cigars from small businesses." Back in February, Laurie joined the Biddies all the way from New York for Jamie's birthday, Laurie's half birthday, and Keryl's… general enjoyment… to finally be on the pod! A trip down memory lane, an argument over who really supports small businesses, and a new nickname… plus a very lively discussion over the can design. Laurie is the second guest to spontaneously do ASMR (why does this keep happening?!) so stay tuned because maybe this needs to be a new segment. Come for the beer, stay for the tingles!

78: Prairie Artisan Ales Mint Condish feat. Jason Schwartz

"This looks like the espresso martini of beers." "I'm very much into the gas station pickle." "Are we all drunk?" Happy Holidays from the Biddies! The annual Hanukkah/Christmas/Kwanzaa/New Year's Eve/Winter Solstice episode features a delightful stout and an equally delightful guest. Biddies (and Buddy) discuss: Sports! Can aesthetics! Hazy beer haters! Keryl goes woo-woo and recommends pairing the beer with… a breath of cool, crisp air?! Meanwhile, Jason unlocks a core beer memory… As always, thanks for drinking! See you in the new year with some new beer!

77: Mother Earth Cali Screamin' Pumpkin Vanilla Cream Ale feat. Jesse Thomason

"I like Halloween as a celebration of Satan and evil. Big fan of that." Happy Halloween from The Biddies! We're feeling super into spooky season this year, so enjoy our annual Fall/Halloween/Pumpkin episode at least two weeks earlier than it would normally release. This year's offering is a twist on the ubiquitous Cali Creamin' -- featuring a can with the cutest lil' flaming pumpkin that you ever did see! Jesse tells us about pulling off THREE group costumes in a single Halloween night. And, oh yeah, everything you know about cream ales might be wrong! Did this beer get us in the Halloween spirit, or are we flying the night sky on our broomsticks, still in search of the perfect blood sacrifice to quench our thirst… we mean beer, pumpkin beer, definitely beer, we only drink beer.

76: Trademark Brewing Talking Hands feat. Nicole Tunkel

"There were a lot of heels, there were a lot of solo cups, and there were a lot of fake eyelashes." "As an Italian, I like gold." Summer might be ending, but beer is forever! This episode features Family-of-the-Pod: Jamie's Sister-in-Law, Nicole, flies all the way from NY to LA to talk some Talking Hands. Nicole discovers a new possible career as a beer ASMRtist. The Biddies discover a new bottle shop (Hop Merchants NoHo).
