1 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,744 Attention Craft Beer Republic listeners. 2 00:00:08,872 --> 00:00:13,848 As we enter January, we face a terrifying annual epidemic. 3 00:00:14,024 --> 00:00:15,460 Dry January. 4 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,740 Say it isn't so, Greg. 5 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,624 Sadly, it's true. 6 00:00:21,672 --> 00:00:22,380 Flex. 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,848 That's right. 8 00:00:23,984 --> 00:00:29,236 Every year, millions of craft beer drinkers make the questionable choice to stop drinking 9 00:00:29,268 --> 00:00:31,316 craft beer for an entire month. 10 00:00:31,468 --> 00:00:32,640 A month. 11 00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:38,660 A month without hops, without malts, and. 12 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:43,908 A whole month without the joy of cracking open a cold one with friends and a salty string 13 00:00:43,924 --> 00:00:45,652 of pretzels around your neck. 14 00:00:45,796 --> 00:00:48,440 It sounds inhumane. 15 00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,316 It doesn't have to be this way. 16 00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:53,920 Together, we can fight this. 17 00:00:54,460 --> 00:00:57,040 We must fight. 18 00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:01,152 That's why we've created the Craft Beer emergency Hotline. 19 00:01:01,296 --> 00:01:06,256 If you or someone you love is considering dry January, call us. 20 00:01:06,408 --> 00:01:09,408 Operators are standing by, but fading quickly. 21 00:01:09,504 --> 00:01:14,736 To remind you of the joy of fresh pints and to talk you through your darkest kombucha 22 00:01:14,768 --> 00:01:19,712 cravings, call 805-538-BEER. 23 00:01:19,856 --> 00:01:23,312 That is 805538-BEER. 24 00:01:23,456 --> 00:01:26,194 Because no one should have to suffer. 25 00:01:26,242 --> 00:01:31,058 Alone for the cost of one to maybe 25 pints a week. 26 00:01:31,194 --> 00:01:37,490 You can provide hope to a struggling ipa, a neglected sour or a lonely lager. 27 00:01:37,650 --> 00:01:40,322 Think of the hops this January. 28 00:01:40,506 --> 00:01:42,178 Drink responsibly. 29 00:01:42,354 --> 00:01:43,250 Ish. 30 00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:45,442 But don't dry up entirely. 31 00:01:45,586 --> 00:01:51,618 Because no one's ever been inspired by a story that starts with, I drink kombucha for 30 32 00:01:51,674 --> 00:01:52,270 days. 33 00:01:52,650 --> 00:01:56,014 Save a beer, save a life. 34 00:01:56,182 --> 00:01:57,102 Call now. 35

00:03:58,752 --> 00:04:03,232 Before we get anywhere into the show, I have to warn everybody listening at home, apologies 84 00:04:03,296 --> 00:04:09,040 in advance if you hear people getting murdered or the construction zone or whatever it is 85 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,272 that's going on next door to me. 86 00:04:10,296 --> 00:04:16,202 My neighbors are, like, remodeling some shit, and there has been saws and jackhammers and 87 00:04:16,226 --> 00:04:18,190 all kinds of shit, so I'm hoping. 88 00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:20,714 I'm hoping it doesn't come through. 89 00:04:20,882 --> 00:04:24,714 Well, I haven't heard a single thing yet, so I think that's a good sign. 90 00:04:24,802 --> 00:04:25,066 Yeah. 91 00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:26,026 I'm looking out my window. 92 00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:30,602 I think they stopped for dinner or something because I don't see any action right now, but 93 00:04:30,626 --> 00:04:32,842 it has been so fucking obnoxious. 94 00:04:32,986 --> 00:04:34,362 Nothing like being on a conference call. 95 00:04:34,386 --> 00:04:39,270 And I was like, okay, thank you. 96 00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:42,874 Some work they got going on. 97 00:04:42,962 --> 00:04:43,630 Yeah. 98 00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:45,718 Honking some horns for fun. 99 00:04:45,774 --> 00:04:48,310 Roger Rabbit over there just going crazy. 100 00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:49,750 So, honestly, it's our fault. 101 00:04:49,830 --> 00:04:50,630 We redid our. 102 00:04:50,670 --> 00:04:54,966 I think I told the saga of the pain in the ass of redoing our kitchen last year. 103 00:04:55,038 --> 00:04:57,206 Not redoing, but, like, refacing our cabinets and stuff. 104 00:04:57,238 --> 00:04:58,438 And the neighbor was. 105 00:04:58,494 --> 00:04:58,982 Was looking at. 106 00:04:59,006 --> 00:04:59,622 She's like, this is great. 107 00:04:59,646 --> 00:05:01,558 You know, I want to do it and whatever. 108 00:05:01,734 --> 00:05:03,734 And she's cheap. 109 00:05:03,862 --> 00:05:08,022 And so she decided that she could handle it herself and was like, I'm gonna do it all by 110 00:05:08,046 --> 00:05:08,294 myself. 111 00:05:08,342 --> 00:05:09,670 So she started with the cabinets. 112 00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:15,020 She, no joke, took each and every one off, sanded it, painted it, sanded it, painted it. 113 00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:16,412 Like, did it the right way. 114 00:05:16,596 --> 00:05:17,388 It looked good. 115 00:05:17,444 --> 00:05:20,924 And once she figured out she could do that, she was like, oh, I'm going to rip up my tile 116 00:05:20,972 --> 00:05:22,764 and put down some laminate. 117 00:05:22,892 --> 00:05:25,884 And so that's what they're in the process of right now is ripping up tile. 118 00:05:25,932 --> 00:05:28,140 And I'm like, oh, my God, just hire somebody. 119 00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:28,652 Yeah. 120 00:05:28,716 --> 00:05:29,020 So much. 121 00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:30,220 Works like a mess. 122 00:05:30,340 --> 00:05:30,684 Yeah. 123 00:05:30,732 --> 00:05:34,732 Like, maybe if I didn't have a job, I would undertake a project like that, but it's like, 124 00:05:34,756 --> 00:05:37,080 fuck, I got to work all day and then go, like, tear up. 125 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:37,788 Right? 126 00:05:37,844 --> 00:05:39,052 It sounds way too much. 127 00:05:39,076 --> 00:05:39,948 I would never do something. 128 00:05:40,004 --> 00:05:42,438 Yeah, and you'd definitely be doing until midnight, you know? 129 00:05:42,524 --> 00:05:46,242 Pissing everyone off if he had to go to work and then come home and crack open the sander 130 00:05:46,306 --> 00:05:46,530 and. 131 00:05:46,570 --> 00:05:47,938 Yeah, exactly. 132 00:05:48,114 --> 00:05:50,546 So it's a Festivus miracle that she's not. 133 00:05:50,618

to be a shit beer. 203 00:08:29,124 --> 00:08:29,504 Right. 204 00:08:29,612 --> 00:08:31,240 Turned out to be a shit beer, so. 205 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:31,768 Here we go. 206 00:08:31,824 -->

know. 210 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,696 All right, we haven't. 211 00:08:38,728 --> 00:08:39,400 We have a. 212 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:39,864 Dude. 213 00:08:39,912 --> 00:08:40,600 It's so weird. 214 00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,024 So a little peek behind the curtain. 215 00:08:42,072 --> 00:08:47,432 When we recorded our last episode it was with Mel and it was literally a day before we 216 00:08:47,456 --> 00:08:49,928 would have normally recorded the episode, so. 217 00:08:49,984 --> 00:08:50,488 All right. 218 00:08:50,544 --> 00:08:50,920 Yeah. 219 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,928 Wasn't that long ago. 220 00:08:51,984 --> 00:08:53,528 I feel like it's been a month and a half. 221 00:08:53,584 --> 00:08:55,480 Like it feels to New Year's like a year. 222 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,462 Yeah, like. 223 00:08:56,616 --> 00:08:58,082 Yeah, 100. 224 00:08:58,266 --> 00:08:59,634 It's been so long. 225 00:08:59,722 --> 00:09:00,066 I. 226 00:09:00,138 --> 00:09:03,074 The holidays are just nuts. 227 00:09:03,202 --> 00:09:05,762 But anyways, how was your guys's holiday? 228 00:09:05,826 --> 00:09:11,186 Erica's fresh off a vacation and where she couldn't drink and then holidays and how shit 229 00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:11,810 over there. 230 00:09:11,930 --> 00:09:12,258 We. 231 00:09:12,314 --> 00:09:14,626 We keep our Christmas super mellow. 232 00:09:14,658 --> 00:09:15,522 We don't travel. 233 00:09:15,586 --> 00:09:17,330 We tell our families to stay away. 234 00:09:17,450 --> 00:09:18,990 Oh adopt me. 235 00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:21,890 So I know and I feel bad for all the other people. 236 00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:24,648 Like went to this in laws and then this one and then this. 237 00:09:24,754 --> 00:09:26,252 Because Christmas is ours. 238 00:09:26,396 --> 00:09:27,600 It was so chill. 239 00:09:27,940 --> 00:09:30,172 I was the laziest I've been in a really long time. 240 00:09:30,196 --> 00:09:36,412 But we just got back from a crazy two week trip to Egypt and United Arab Emirates. 241 00:09:36,476 --> 00:09:43,036 So really we needed that downtime and yeah, just chilled and drank some good beers and ate 242 00:09:43,068 --> 00:09:45,884 good food and had some nice family time. 243 00:09:46,052 --> 00:09:48,124 I have to ask, how was Egypt? 244 00:09:48,172 --> 00:09:48,828 And I. 245 00:09:48,964 --> 00:09:53,576 I preface this with Scott recently went to Egypt and fucking hated it. 246 00:09:53,648 --> 00:09:54,300 Yeah. 247 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,376 And then there's not a lot of booze available. 248 00:09:58,448 --> 00:09:58,984 So we. 249 00:09:59,072 --> 00:10:00,760 We did the bougier end of things. 250 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:01,000 Right. 251 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,256 We had like the private transfer and the private guide and we wanted things really safe 252 00:10:05,288 --> 00:10:05,480 too. 253 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,460 We have kids. 254 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,088 So it was a really comfortable trip along that way. 255 00:10:10,144 --> 00:10:13,752 And then like we stayed on a cruise ship for half the time, a smaller one. 256 00:10:13,776 --> 00:10:15,832 Cause we did a Nile river cruise. 257 00:10:15,976 --> 00:10:17,832 There was alcohol on the cruise ship. 258 00:10:17,976 --> 00:10:20,088 Obviously the options are not that good. 259 00:10:20,224 --> 00:10:23,976 No, there was like a Sam Adams at one point I think we got ahold of and. 260 00:10:24,128 --> 00:10:25,112 But yeah, not so bad. 261 00:10:25,136 --> 00:10:27,496 You and McDreamy killed their entire supply of same Adams. 262 00:10:27,528 --> 00:10:27,688 Yeah. 263 00:10:27,704 --> 00:10:28,008 Oh yeah. 264 00:10:28,024 --> 00:10:32,472 It was just like keep them coming and you know, and then we just like did more cocktails, 265 00:10:32,536 --> 00:10:33,784 wine, stuff like that. 266 00:10:33,952 --> 00:10:39,768 But no, I mean just incredible like seeing the pyramids and just feeling like the energy of 267 00:10:39,904 --> 00:10:42,824 just how ancient and 4000. 268 00:10:42,912 --> 00:10:46,856 It's just really even hard for me to imagine once in a lifetime trip. 269 00:10:46,888 --> 00:10:49,128 And to see like a wonder of a world. 270 00:10:49,184 --> 00:10:50,860 It's crazy. 271 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,128 And our guide just made it come alive so that was so cool. 272 00:10:55,224 --> 00:10:55,496 Yes. 273 00:10:55,528 --> 00:10:56,360 It was really cool. 274 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,728 And you guys went with, like, another family or something, Right. 275 00:10:58,784 --> 00:10:59,816 And not Egypt. 276 00:10:59,848 --> 00:11:05,272 We did Egypt, and then UAE was Abu Dhabi's with our friends live there, and they just 277 00:11:05,296 --> 00:11:06,328 pretty much toured us. 278 00:11:06,384 --> 00:11:08,952 We did Formula one races and the Eminem. 279 00:11:09,016 --> 00:11:10,936 You went to, like, Ferrari land, right? 280 00:11:11,088 --> 00:11:14,536 We didn't go to Ferrari land because the fastest roller coaster in the world has been shut 281 00:11:14,568 --> 00:11:16,580 down for, like, a long time. 282 00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:18,078 Yeah. 283 00:11:18,174 --> 00:11:22,142 And it's supposedly a huge disappointment to go there otherwise, but we did a lot of other 284 00:11:22,166 --> 00:11:24,094 things there, and everything there is just extreme. 285 00:11:24,142 --> 00:11:24,302 Right. 286 00:11:24,326 --> 00:11:25,150 And extravagant. 287 00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:26,078 So it was. 288 00:11:26,134 --> 00:11:29,810 It was quite a contrast to, like, all these ancient ruins. 289 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:30,622 Yeah. 290 00:11:30,686 --> 00:11:32,450 How was the Eminem concert? 291 00:11:32,950 --> 00:11:34,094 So nostalgic. 292 00:11:34,142 --> 00:11:34,782 Oh, my gosh. 293 00:11:34,846 --> 00:11:36,574 We had so much fun. 294 00:11:36,662 --> 00:11:38,494 I forgot that you went to that. 295 00:11:38,662 --> 00:11:39,294 Yeah. 296 00:11:39,422 --> 00:11:39,870 And that. 297 00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:40,654 That was really cool. 298 00:11:40,702 --> 00:11:41,290 We. 299 00:11:41,830 --> 00:11:45,454 We weren't as close up to Eminem as we were Maroon 5, and I would have definitely had it 300 00:11:45,462 --> 00:11:50,316 the other way, but the people we were with really wanted to be close to Maroon 5, so that's 301 00:11:50,348 --> 00:11:50,892 cool. 302 00:11:51,036 --> 00:11:54,940 But was that part of the original plan, or is that something that just so happened to be 303 00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:55,596 happening? 304 00:11:55,708 --> 00:11:57,884 It's part of your Formula one ticket. 305 00:11:57,932 --> 00:11:59,548 You get into the concert. 306 00:11:59,724 --> 00:12:03,040 The concerts are for the Formula one attendees. 307 00:12:03,540 --> 00:12:06,520 So I guess, like, Beyonce was there one year, and I don't know. 308 00:12:06,980 --> 00:12:11,900 So I guess his Marshall Mather's mom died a few days before the concert. 309 00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:12,796 I didn't know that. 310 00:12:12,868 --> 00:12:13,260 Yeah. 311 00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:14,048 Super recent. 312 00:12:14,164 --> 00:12:16,520 His voice wasn't the best, and we. 313 00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:17,160 I didn't know why. 314 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,872 He's, like, at the end, like, sorry for my voice. 315 00:12:18,936 --> 00:12:21,160 And then I found out later that that was probably why. 316 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,208 Dude had probably been bawling. 317 00:12:23,304 --> 00:12:26,568 But it was still just so much fun. 318 00:12:26,624 --> 00:12:29,704 And, you know, we had to wait a long time in line for beer, so. 319 00:12:29,712 --> 00:12:30,088 Of course. 320 00:12:30,144 --> 00:12:30,312 And. 321 00:12:30,336 --> 00:12:31,256 Oh, it was Heineken. 322 00:12:31,288 --> 00:12:32,264 The one beer line. 323 00:12:32,352 --> 00:12:34,216 It was Heineken, you guys. 324 00:12:34,328 --> 00:12:35,592 But I was that desperate. 325 00:12:35,656 --> 00:12:36,260 I. 326 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,232 I mean, if it's Heineken or no alcohol, I guess desperate times slap behind me. 327 00:12:42,336 --> 00:12:43,096 I'll take three. 328 00:12:43,168 --> 00:12:43,900 Sorry. 329 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,916 I'll take my Heineken. 330 00:12:46,008 --> 00:12:46,960 Give me one. 331 00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:48,996 Or whatever's free. 332 00:12:49,148 --> 00:12:50,240 Whatever's free. 333 00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:51,460 But, yeah, just. 334 00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:52,260 I could talk for days. 335 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:52,580 It was. 336 00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:54,420 It was an amazing trip, but it's awesome. 337 00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:55,956 Holiday was chill. 338 00:12:56,148 --> 00:12:57,412

work, we had the busiest month ever recorded in the history, of course. 347 00:13:15,212 --> 00:13:16,880 So that was kind of fun. 348 00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:21,320 Very exhausting on everybody's part who worked There. 349 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,564 Christmas Eve is pretty solid. 350 00:13:23,692 --> 00:13:29,840 I after Christmas Eve at the shop, we usually grab a couple six packs out of the fridge. 351 00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:34,892 Somebody will grab a bottle of bourbon and we'll all just kind of hang out in the back, you 352 00:13:34,916 --> 00:13:40,204 know, have a couple drinks, chill, talk about how crazy everything had been last couple 353 00:13:40,252 --> 00:13:40,460 weeks. 354 00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,760 And it just kind of wind down. 355 00:13:43,070 --> 00:13:50,534 So somebody took Eagle park set list off out of the cooler and well, love Eagle park, but 356 00:13:50,622 --> 00:13:55,770 something about this beer just makes me have the worst hangovers. 357 00:13:56,590 --> 00:14:02,022 So I kept myself to two beers at work because I knew we're going to my mom's house for 358 00:14:02,046 --> 00:14:02,790 Christmas Eve. 359 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:06,370 She also bought a six pack of set list because she knew I was coming over. 360 00:14:07,070 --> 00:14:12,034 So I went to my mom's house, my younger brother, grilled steaks, they were phenomenal. 361 00:14:12,082 --> 00:14:16,002 My mom made some really good pulled pork cheesy potatoes. 362 00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:17,830 Really, really nice dinner. 363 00:14:18,330 --> 00:14:20,322 Kids love all

00:14:26,970 --> 00:14:29,470 So fast forward to the next morning. 367 00:14:30,090 --> 00:14:30,498 Sure. 368 00:14:30,554 --> 00:14:32,626 Shit hangover. 369 00:14:32,818 --> 00:14:35,928 Four beers

off from Midnight to 397 00:15:54,430 --> 00:15:55,350 midnight 40. 398 00:15:55,470 --> 00:15:57,350 Oh them so hard. 399 00:15:57,470 --> 00:15:59,974 I was so upset. 400 00:16:00,102 --> 00:16:00,886 Wow. 401 00:16:01,078 --> 00:16:04,214 So my wife was gonna sleep downstairs with the kids. 402 00:16:04,262 --> 00:16:06,770 They wanted to have like this downstairs slumber party. 403 00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:08,374 I worked too hard. 404 00:16:08,462 --> 00:16:10,010 I needed to sleep in bed. 405 00:16:10,590 --> 00:16:17,494 After 25 minutes of this, I stomped downstairs in my underwear ready to go outside and yell 406 00:16:17,542 --> 00:16:21,270 at these People for what they're doing, you know, a little intimidation factor. 407 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:21,830 Sure. 408 00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:24,890 And nothing intimidates like a man in his underwear. 409 00:16:25,450 --> 00:16:27,362 It was like my love, it was. 410 00:16:27,386 --> 00:16:28,642 Like six degrees out too. 411 00:16:28,666 --> 00:16:32,690 So like if this guy's outside and six degrees underwear, he's pissed. 412 00:16:32,770 --> 00:16:34,674 Also probably not very impressive. 413 00:16:34,722 --> 00:16:36,050 Six degrees in your underwear. 414 00:16:36,130 --> 00:16:37,790 Well, you know, it's dark out. 415 00:16:40,810 --> 00:16:43,170 My wife kind of like called me, call me down. 416 00:16:43,290 --> 00:16:46,370 She was like, it's New Year's, just let them do this. 417 00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:47,618 Is why we need wives. 418 00:16:47,794 --> 00:16:52,150 So I went back upstairs and they proceeded to light them off for 15 more minutes. 419 00:16:53,470 --> 00:16:54,582 And then the worst part was. 420 00:16:54,606 --> 00:16:58,838 I shouldn't say the worst part, but like the cherry on top is so they have like two boys 421 00:16:58,934 --> 00:17:00,810 and then they have a four year old daughter. 422 00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:06,610 And this chick was just running around the backyard like it was noon on a summer day, 423 00:17:06,910 --> 00:17:10,918 screaming, hooting and hollering, playing, having a good time. 424 00:17:11,054 --> 00:17:15,430 So not only do you have these fireworks lighting off and you hear the hissing of the wick 425 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:20,172 or the fuse, you know, all the fireworks and in between that, then you just hear some kids 426 00:17:20,236 --> 00:17:22,300 screaming your lungs out, having a good time. 427 00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:22,876 And. 428 00:17:23,028 --> 00:17:24,108 Oh, it was a lot. 429 00:17:24,164 --> 00:17:25,800 It was a lot to take in. 430 00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:26,764 Wow. 431 00:17:26,812 --> 00:17:27,212 You know what? 432 00:17:27,236 --> 00:17:29,532 It sounds like you could use a beer. 433 00:17:29,676 --> 00:17:30,400 Yeah. 434 00:17:30,740 --> 00:17:32,956 Where craft beer is king. 435 00:17:33,148 --> 00:17:36,588 A world where muscles are bigger than growlers. 436 00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:39,020 Only one tongue can guide us. 437 00:17:39,140 --> 00:17:41,756 One man, one tongue. 438 00:17:41,948 --> 00:17:44,320 One tongue Jobber. 439 00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:50,886 In this world, we must find out what is flax drinking. 440 00:17:50,998 --> 00:17:53,238 I couldn't let this man go sober any longer. 441 00:17:53,334 --> 00:17:53,542 No. 442 00:17:53,566 --> 00:17:59,254 You know, and that was quite a segue because the beer I'm drinking now is actually one of 443 00:17:59,262 --> 00:18:02,534 the beers I purchased to partake in on New Year's Eve. 444 00:18:02,662 --> 00:18:03,334 Okay. 445 00:18:03,462 --> 00:18:05,078 Instead I threw it at the neighbors. 446 00:18:05,174 --> 00:18:12,560 Yeah, I bought a couple triple IPAs and I'm drinking this one from Drown Lands in New York. 447 00:18:13,900 --> 00:18:16,068 Warwick Leaf, Warwick Farms. 448 00:18:16,084 --> 00:18:16,980 Or no, it's not. 449 00:18:17,020 --> 00:18:17,876 Yeah, yeah, Warwick. 450 00:18:17,908 --> 00:18:18,116 Yeah. 451 00:18:18,148 --> 00:18:18,612 So they're from. 452 00:18:18,636 --> 00:18:19,972 Yeah, Mel sent me a few of those. 453 00:18:20,076 --> 00:18:21,764 Yeah, they're wonderful brewery. 454 00:18:21,812 --> 00:18:25,520 We've been getting a good amount of their distro for like the last six months. 455 00:18:25,820 --> 00:18:31,092 And just like yours, Greg, this is premium Nelson salmon hops. 456 00:18:31,236 --> 00:18:35,668 It is called Tara Nelson and it is a triple a hazy IPA. 457 00:18:35,764 --> 00:18:38,120 10.5% ABV. 458 00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:41,236 Real simple, untapped description. 459 00:18:41,428 --> 00:18:45,716 Hazy triple IPA that highlights Nelson Sovereign hops, giving it bright tropical whiny 460 00:18:45,748 --> 00:18:48,920 notes akin to Sauvign Blanc. 461 00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:52,804 417, 604 ratings. 462 00:18:52,932 --> 00:18:53,748 Pretty new. 463 00:18:53,804 --> 00:19:01,300 I'm assuming I'm not from New York, but I would assume that's a Pretty new beer on the old 464 00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:02,132 schnoz. 465 00:19:02,276 --> 00:19:03,972 Definitely tell it's Nelson. 466 00:19:04,036 --> 00:19:07,750 You get a lot of that, which I've never smelled gooseberry before. 467 00:19:08,130 --> 00:19:09,530 What about schnauberry? 468 00:19:09,610 --> 00:19:16,042 But every time I, I smell a Nelson beer, I can never get my finger or my. 469 00:19:16,066 --> 00:19:16,922 Or my tongue on what. 470 00:19:16,946 --> 00:19:17,914 What I'm smelling. 471 00:19:18,042 --> 00:19:20,074 And I imagine that's the gooseberry. 472 00:19:20,202 --> 00:19:21,274 I'll buy it. 473 00:19:21,442 --> 00:19:22,618 I don't know what the I'm smelling. 474 00:19:22,634 --> 00:19:23,130 That's why I couldn't. 475 00:19:23,170 --> 00:19:24,970 I'm like, it smells tropical and delicious. 476 00:19:25,050 --> 00:19:25,950 Yeah, it's. 477 00:19:26,690 --> 00:19:27,706 It's gooseberry. 478 00:19:27,738 --> 00:19:30,090 I think we're going to warm up. 479 00:19:30,130 --> 00:19:30,522 Deal. 480 00:19:30,626 --> 00:19:31,642 Some joby. 481 00:19:31,706 --> 00:19:32,602 So here we go. 482 00:19:32,706 --> 00:19:33,510 Do it. 483 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,136 I love the amount of carbonation on this. 484 00:19:36,288 --> 00:19:37,272 It is true. 485 00:19:37,416 --> 00:19:41,020 It is akin to a Sauvignon Blanc. 486 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,672 Definitely get like some white wine notes to it. 487 00:19:45,856 --> 00:19:49,896 Not too much of like a gooseberry aroma to a flavor. 488 00:19:50,088 --> 00:19:56,264 And I know you usually get like a lot of white grape notes to it, but it is whiny. 489 00:19:56,312 --> 00:20:03,292 Like, I enjoy it because you still get that hoppy dankness on the back end. 490 00:20:03,456 --> 00:20:05,476 And the carbonation is wonderful. 491 00:20:05,508 --> 00:20:07,240 It's like the perfect amount. 492 00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,772 19.99 for the four pack. 493 00:20:10,916 --> 00:20:15,012 I wasn't happy, but it was worth it. 494 00:20:15,116 --> 00:20:17,396 That's pretty high for Milwaukee. 495 00:20:17,588 --> 00:20:18,436 Yes, it is. 496 00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:18,852 It is. 497 00:20:18,876 --> 00:20:20,564 That's why I had to throw it out there. 498 00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:22,836 But I was pleased with my choice. 499 00:20:22,948 --> 00:20:24,880 Again, these guys do great things. 500 00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:30,172 Happy to get them and yeah, just keep looking forward to drinking more shit by them. 501 00:20:30,316 --> 00:20:30,684 Nice. 502 00:20:30,732 --> 00:20:37,052 Well, I don't know why we didn't do this, you know, years ago, but Google says a gooseberry 503 00:20:37,196 --> 00:20:45,036 smells slightly acidic, yet sweet with a fresh tart and slightly floral aroma, often 504 00:20:45,108 --> 00:20:48,240 compared to a mix between green grapes and currants. 505 00:20:48,740 --> 00:20:50,300 That's exactly what this smells like. 506 00:20:50,340 --> 00:20:51,708 Is everything you just read. 507 00:20:51,844 --> 00:20:52,492 Yeah. 508 00:20:52,636 --> 00:20:56,718 It's a scent commonly associated with certain white wines like Sauvignon moi. 509 00:20:56,804 --> 00:21:00,186 So it's due to its tangy green character. 510 00:21:00,298 --> 00:21:02,630 We, we, we, we. 511 00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:04,270 Very nice. 512 00:21:04,690 --> 00:21:05,354 Well, good. 513 00:21:05,442 --> 00:21:05,882 Where were we? 514 00:21:05,906 --> 00:21:06,906 Oh, holiday stuff. 515 00:21:06,938 --> 00:21:07,146 Yeah. 516 00:21:07,178

mentality. 519 00:21:16,010 --> 00:21:18,298 I've been trying to instill that into my wife. 520 00:21:18,394 --> 00:21:20,842 She is a little more guilt ridden than I am. 521 00:21:20,866 --> 00:21:22,510 And by a little, I mean extremely. 522 00:21:22,820 --> 00:21:24,668 She's like, no, we gotta see everybody. 523 00:21:24,764 --> 00:21:29,160 This year I kept it to three groups of people. 524 00:21:29,620 --> 00:21:31,484 One of them came to our house. 525 00:21:31,652 --> 00:21:32,044 Nice. 526 00:21:32,092 --> 00:21:36,460 And then the other two, we had to travel and I did not allow them to be on the same day. 527 00:21:36,580 --> 00:21:37,756 That's Pretty good balance. 528 00:21:37,868 --> 00:21:39,404 How far is your travel? 529 00:21:39,532 --> 00:21:41,148 The longest trip is 20 minutes. 530 00:21:41,244 --> 00:21:42,440 Oh, that's not bad. 531 00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:44,800 Is that her sister? 532 00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:45,804 Yeah. 533 00:21:45,852 --> 00:21:50,460 Honestly, her sister and my mom are about equal distance in terms of timing. 534 00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:51,624 So it's about. 535 00:21:51,712 --> 00:21:52,296 So first. 536 00:21:52,368 --> 00:21:57,816 First night, Festivus dad and associated people came over. 537 00:21:57,888 --> 00:21:59,672 We're supposed to go to a restaurant that kind of blew up. 538 00:21:59,696 --> 00:22:00,584 So they came over here. 539 00:22:00,672 --> 00:22:04,024 The restaurant blew up, the plans blew up. 540 00:22:04,112 --> 00:22:06,020 Even funnier if the restaurant blew up. 541 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,064 Yeah. 542 00:22:07,192 --> 00:22:08,660 What a wild time. 543 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,808 Serving too many nachos. 544 00:22:10,984 --> 00:22:13,304 And then Christmas Eve, we did her sister. 545 00:22:13,352 --> 00:22:15,240 And then Christmas Day, we did my mom's house. 546 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,404 And it was. 547 00:22:17,572 --> 00:22:19,276 I hate going multiple places. 548 00:22:19,388 --> 00:22:23,676 It's my weird childhood trauma from 900 houses with all divorced parents and stuff. 549 00:22:23,708 --> 00:22:27,228 But it was as close to good as we can get it, I think. 550 00:22:27,284 --> 00:22:31,440 So I was not the most angry I've ever been at Christmas. 551 00:22:31,780 --> 00:22:32,620 Well, that's good. 552 00:22:32,660 -->
