Small Craft Advisory: Desthil Brewery Oktoberfest Märzen

Destihl Brewery steps into the spotlight on this episode of Small Craft Advisory as the crew cracks open their Oktoberfest Märzen for review. While there was nothing particularly wrong with this beer, it ultimately left the guys wanting a little more from the experience. The caramel and malt notes were definitely present, but beyond that, the flavor profile felt pretty limited. Words like “average” and “it’s fine” became common throughout the review, and the final scores reflected that overall feeling. This isn’t a bad beer by any means — it’s drinkable, smooth, and true to style — but most of the crew agreed it’s probably not one they’d actively seek out again. That said, Destihl Brewery still has everyone interested in trying more from their lineup in the future because there’s clearly potential there.

The NFL Draft is officially in the books, and we’re breaking down everything from the Saints’ picks to the biggest surprises from around the league — including the shocking selection of Ty Simpson by the LA Rams.

Small Craft Advisory: Saloon Door Smooth Operator

On this episode of Small Craft Advisory, the crew cracks open another one from Saloon Door Brewing—the Smooth Operator Nitro Porter—and let’s just say… expectations were sky high after how much the guys loved Fluffy Nuts. Good news: this one delivers in a big way. From the rich, inviting aroma to the smooth, velvety nitro pour, Smooth Operator hits all the right notes. At 7%, it brings a perfect balance of flavor and drinkability, making it dangerously easy to keep going back for more. The crew breaks down everything from the chocolatey depth to the creamy mouthfeel—and spoiler alert—this might be the highest-scored beer we’ve had yet. If you’re a Porter fan (or even if you’re not), this is one you’ll want on your radar.

Small Craft Advisory: Saint Arnold Brewing Hefeweizen

The crew is back with another installment of Small Craft Advisory, and this week we’re pouring up a classic: Saint Arnold Brewery’s Hefeweizen. Known for its smooth, refreshing profile and signature wheat beer character, this one sparked some solid conversation around the table. Overall, the beer landed well with the group, delivering easy-drinking vibes and a balanced flavor that fits the style. Travis was especially impressed, handing out the highest score of the episode, while Mike couldn’t quite get past the aroma, making him the lone holdout this week. Love it or not, it definitely got people talking—which is exactly what we’re here for. Crack one open and drink along with us as we break it all down.
