Beer Coasters Kaiserfest Issue

Oktoberfest is a joyous time of year. Lots of beer, good times and plenty of bad audio. We apologize for how Toby sounds this week. You'd think, after 123 episodes, we'd have this whole podcasting thing down a little better. Anyhow, we still bring you our 3rd Oktoberfest installment and plenty of laughs.

First off, we bow down to the dictatorship of The Kaiser from Avery. Toby fills his stein with the Oktoberfish from Flying Fish. Finally, Mike washes his Bavarian pretzel down with Clipper City's Heavy Seas Prosit! A discussion is had over the way-too-early releases of seasonal beers in our Hop Topics section.

Thanks for joining us this week and we hope everyone has had the chance to enjoy their local Oktoberfest-ivities(responsibly, of course). Prost!

Beer Coasters The Fall Guys Issue

We might fall from a tall building, we might roll a brand new car, because we're the unknown drinkers that made Calagione such a star.  Well, maybe that last part was a stretch.  It's finally Fall here on the Beer Coasters podcast, so we chose a few Fall release craft beers to review.  Both Mike and Toby pack away the white shoes and Hawaiian shirts for A Little Sumpin' Willd from Lagunitas.  Mike puts the rake on stand-by and cracks open a Harvest Ale from Ipswich Ales.  Toby picks out the biggest Pumpkin he can find from Wasatch Beers.

We then study up on the Evolution Of The Beer Geek and see how far we've come.  Are you ready for Fall?  We sure are.  Thanks for checking out the show, we hope you enjoy.  It's a death-defying life we lead, but we take our chances.  Cheers!

Beer Coasters Cream Of The Hop Issue

Before we get into those malty, spicy, giant beers of Fall and Winter, we try out the creamy side of American craft beer, the cream ales.  For the Fermentation Conversation, Toby tries to dip a donut into what Mike refers to as "buttercream", the Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema from Anderson Valley.  Prince ain't got nothin' on Kiwanda from Pelican Pub and Brewery and Mike scoops some Sweet Action from Sixpoint.

Check out our Hop Topic for this week: 8 Beers Americans No Longer Drink.  Do you think they miss us?  Plus, Beer Coaster Chris sits down with ChazCasts for a quick little interview about the Beer Coasters Podcast and today's craft beer scene.  Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to pick up some Octoberfest schwag at our Shop.  Cheers!
