Beer Coasters The Wind That Sips The Barleywine Issue

"Beer has cost them their innocence...  Barleywines will cost them their blood..."  We've made it to Issue #93 and we're just now beginning to repeat styles.  In this week's craft beer podcast, we delve a little deeper into the world of Barleywines, a style we have not focussed on since Issue #10!  To celebrate this momentous occasion, we are joined by up-and-coming craft beer enthusiast, Kenneth from Chatsworth.  Tom in LA gets back to us regarding a comment on a comment and we all listen to the wind that sips the barleywine.

Out East, Mike joins the Manly Men's Beer Club and is initiated in by Sea Smoke.  Out Westward, Toby and Kenneth get down with Jack And Ken's Black Barleywine - part of Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary collection.  And finally, Chris is banished to a world of Real Ale, like the Sisyphus that he is.

Thanks for joining us and don't forget to tell a friend.  Cheers!

Beer Coasters Dead Men Sip No Ales Issue

Yo ho, yo ho a Beer Coasters life for me!  We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.  Drink up, me 'earties yo ho!  We say our Pint Ratings and don't give a hoot.  Drink up me 'earties yo ho!

 In this here issue of the Beer Coasters Podcast, we sail the stormy seas aboard the Black Perle.  Who be the pilot of this barnacle-ridden ghost ship?  Why, none other than the Cutthroat pirate himself, Captain Bastard.

Adventures in brewing be the Hop Topic this week, as well as some Backwash left over in the bottom of our bottles of grog.  Beware, the Guestbook sees new faces, so sign at your own risk!  Cheers!

Beer Coasters The Valentine's Issue

Who needs flowers or chocolate or jewels?  We've got beer!  And yes, we know we're a few days behind, but that's OK.  Beer will forgive us.  For our Fermentation Conversation beer, we give our lovers what they really want for VD: A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' from Lagunitas.  Aaawww yeah!  We then discuss a few of beers with big hype behind them during our Hop Topic segment.

 Toby gives Swanton Rea's a box of Double Chocolate Stout from Irondale.  In the middle, Chris apologizes profusely with Southern Star's Buried Hatchet Stout.  It's probably because he brought another beer in the room, Lindeman's Kriek Lambic.  He says it was to make the relationship new and fun and exciting, but we all know it's because he's a region stealer!  And finally, Mike lays himself on a bed of roses and presents some White Gold from Ithaca.  It's from the Excelsior Series, so you know it comes from his heart.

 After Chris gets pointed out as a region stealer during Backwash, we have one of the strangest Tweet Of The Weeks.  Thanks for tuning in this week and don't forget to check out our Back Issues section on the website for some old shows.  It's never too late!  Cheers!
