Is 14 00:00:59,579 --> 00:01:00,460 that 15 00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:05,540 really happening already? Oh, it's time, my friend. Christmas is next week. 16 00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:06,400 There's not 17 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,239 a better time to do it. We've got a ludicrous libation law. Words are already 18 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:14,480 fantastic. 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,239 Some booze news to get through. But before we get to all that, top listening 20 00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:18,620 city of 21 00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:26,170 last week. Shout out to Riverside, California. What's up, Riverside? Ish. They 22 00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:27,519 're out east. 23 00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:32,489 They make all the money. California's California. How dare you? It's a Midwest 24 00:01:32,489 --> 00:01:33,319 perspective. 25 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,409 Yeah. California should be like five different states, both in size and 26 00:01:37,409 --> 00:01:39,840 diversity. All right. 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,200 Same thing when people say Wisconsin's basically Canada. It's not. And you're 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,200 an asshole. I 29 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,810 always think Minnesota's basically Canada. That's what I say. Yeah. Their 30 00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:49,519 accent's basically 31 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:54,899 the same. It's so much worse than a Wisconsin accent. Especially like a 32 00:01:54,899 --> 00:01:55,999 Southern, like I'm 33 00:01:55,999 --> 00:02:00,489 Southeastern Wisconsin, like the Southeast corner. So yeah. Like Minnesota, 34 00:02:00,489 --> 00:02:00,739 they got 35 00:02:00,739 --> 00:02:05,939 the A and you know, they sound very Canadian. They play duck, duck, gray duck. 36 00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:06,400 Like it's 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,979 fucking weird. Is that a real thing? Duck, duck, gray duck. Yeah. And it's only 38 00:02:10,979 --> 00:02:11,840 in Minnesota. 39 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,639 I've never fucking heard of that before. Everybody else around the country that 40 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,479 's normal plays 41 00:02:16,479 --> 00:02:21,199 duck, duck, goose. Not in Canada. They are in Minnesota. They play duck, duck, 42 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:21,759 gray duck 43 00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:26,319 or both. Yeah. That's fucking hilarious. I've never heard that. That's so good. 44 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:26,560 It's funny 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,919 when I meet people or talk to people that live in Minnesota, I always work that 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:32,360 into 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,870 the conversation and they're always like the look of shock and embarrassment on 48 00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:40,120 their face. 49 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,590 Yeah. It's like, you found us out. It's like, no, it's a big fucking state. It 50 00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:46,759 's pretty 51 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,419 fucking weird. Like y'all are fucking weird. It's a weird fucking game you guys 52 00:02:50,419 --> 00:02:51,099 play. Biggest 53 00:02:51,099 --> 00:02:55,259 ball of twine is in Minnesota. That just says it all. That sounds like 54 00:02:55,259 --> 00:02:55,800 something you would 55 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,710 stop at though. I would only like the roadside attractions, but here's, okay, 56 00:03:01,710 --> 00:03:02,439 this is a little 57 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:06,509 thing for me. It's a weird Al Yankovic song. Biggest ball of twine in Minnesota 58 00:03:06,509 --> 00:03:06,879 . And ever 59 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:11,659 since I heard the song, it's just really well done. He's great songwriter, very 60 00:03:11,659 --> 00:03:12,479 great singer 61 00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,910 and how his lyrics are funny as hell. I would stop at it only because of his 62 00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:17,520 song. I would 63 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,360 never stop at it just to stop at it. Did you see his movie a couple of years 64 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,520 ago? No, no. 65 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,370 With Daniel Radcliffe. Yeah. It was like the, the fake biopic. Yeah. It came 66 00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:30,240 out on some 67 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,780 streaming service that I didn't have. Oh, I watched it on the flight to 68 00:03:34,780 --> 00:03:35,879 Portugal a couple 69 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:41,789 of months ago and you know, I wish I was drunk or stoned when I watched it 70 00:03:41,789 --> 00:03:43,520 because it's silly. 71 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,520 If you go in thinking like this is going to be dumb as fuck, I think you're 72 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,439 good. I didn't 73 00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:54,000 realize how fake it was. I thought it was his story with some embellishments 74 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,479 and I was 75 00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:58,520 very not at all correct. Yeah. Yeah. It was completely, there's like a scene 76 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,000 where he's 77 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,360 supposed to have sex with Madonna. Oh, they date for a while in the movie. Oh, 78 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,159 okay. So 79 00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:06,730 there you have it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not to give anything away, but like 80 00:04:06,730 --> 00:04:07,400 Madonna basically 81 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,969 ruins his life. That's hilarious. Yeah. It's pretty good. So anyways, enough 82 00:04:11,969 --> 00:04:12,800 about Madonna, 83 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,699 not a Madonna show, but it is not a weird show. Well, maybe one of these days, 84 00:04:17,699 --> 00:04:18,279 but for 85 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,240 now it's still a beer show. So let's find out what beer flex is drinking over 86 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:21,459 there 87 00:04:21,459 --> 00:04:38,629 in a world where craft beer is king, a world where muscles are bigger than grow 88 00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:41,620 lers. Only 89 00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:42,620 one tongue can guide us. One man, one tongue, one tongue jobber. In this world, 90 00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:43,620 find out what is flex drinking. 91 00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:46,759 It's even better because like you bumped your camera and start shaking while 92 00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:47,420 you're eating 93 00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:54,720 out the air. Damn. I'm pretty good. It's a little fun story here. I don't know 94 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,300 how many 95 00:04:55,300 --> 00:05:00,129 people do this. If it's a normal thing, if it's not a normal thing. Uh, I bring 96 00:05:00,129 --> 00:05:00,579 my kids 97 00:05:00,579 --> 00:05:06,079 to the liquor store with me. This is my favorite is frown upon it. I don't care 98 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:06,939 what I love 99 00:05:06,939 --> 00:05:11,220 that you do this because I know they're picking at your beer a hundred percent 100 00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:11,939 based on not 101 00:05:11,939 --> 00:05:17,329 only do they love to pick it out. My youngest, she's eight. She loves carrying 102 00:05:17,329 --> 00:05:18,100 it around 103 00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:22,870 because it makes her feel strong. You know, four pack of beer, you know, a few 104 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:23,379 pounds 105 00:05:23,379 --> 00:05:27,660 to it. Yeah. Just a couple. But, uh, she was walking around the store the other 106 00:05:27,660 --> 00:05:27,980 day with 107 00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:33,230 two of them and she said, man, look how strong I am. And I just said, yep. Yeah 108 00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:34,300 , you are 109 00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:40,920 just beat into it. So, um, I, I was only going to get two, four packs the other 110 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,379 day. Classic 111 00:05:41,379 --> 00:05:48,379 cheapskate flex. And then my kids found this beer. It is called croc couture 112 00:05:48,379 --> 00:05:51,339 and we're 113 00:05:51,339 --> 00:05:56,539 not talking like croc, like a crocodile. We're talking to shoes or talking cro 114 00:05:56,539 --> 00:05:57,180 cs like the 115 00:05:57,180 --> 00:06:03,970 shoes. Oh yeah. And then it's these sparkly silver, some shiny crocs crocs on 116 00:06:03,970 --> 00:06:04,899 this hairy 117 00:06:04,899 --> 00:06:13,079 ass man's leg. Um, but they got to like love their crocs. It's even got like a 118 00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:13,419 little croc 119 00:06:13,419 --> 00:06:18,930 charm on this croc. And, uh, the, the hand, the handle, the heels in the, in 120 00:06:18,930 --> 00:06:19,779 the back, 121 00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:25,589 it's up. So they're built for speed right here. Duh. Um, aren't all crocs, but 122 00:06:25,589 --> 00:06:26,019 you got 123 00:06:26,019 --> 00:06:29,649 the, the little thing that lifts up in the back, right? You can either push it 124 00:06:29,649 --> 00:06:29,860 for a 125 00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:32,920 little strappy thing. Yeah. The strappy thing. That's what I was good at. So 126 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,420 this one is 127 00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:40,540 on the heel. So this man or woman, they're, they're built for speed. They were 128 00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:40,680 moving. 129 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,790 They're moving on this can. Uh, and my kids, they, they love their crocs. I don 130 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:45,939 't understand. 131 00:06:45,939 --> 00:06:50,930 I don't own a pair. Never have. They probably never will. I also hear they're 132 00:06:50,930 --> 00:06:51,920 comfortable. 133 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,020 We will probably hit an age where we're like, you know what we need? It's 134 00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:57,319 fucking crocs. 135 00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:01,860 I'm going to disagree strongly, but you know, they, they always say, never say 136 00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:03,100 never. Uh, 137 00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:10,740 but this one's out of never heard of them. Little house. Sorry. I never have a 138 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:12,019 little 139 00:07:12,019 --> 00:07:17,560 house brewing company. And again, much like last week, apparently I just love 140 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,540 Connecticut 141 00:07:18,540 --> 00:07:26,420 beer. Oh, where the hell I found it. I found back to the CT. Yeah. The fuck did 142 00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:27,100 it say? 143 00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:32,060 Doesn't matter. They're from Connecticut somewhere. North Haven. There you go. 144 00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:33,019 One of two cities. 145 00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:37,600 Yeah. I'm pretty sure that is only their city. Was it new Haven in Bristol? We 146 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,500 decided. Yes. 147 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,980 That is exactly what it was. Uh, so I'm untapped here again. Must be a 148 00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:44,980 relatively new beer. 149 00:07:44,980 --> 00:07:48,949 I don't know how they get these recent drops from all these places or new 150 00:07:48,949 --> 00:07:49,779 breweries or 151 00:07:49,779 --> 00:07:56,810 what's going on. 314 seconds. That's it. Uh, three and five. It's a, it says it 152 00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:57,099 's a new 153 00:07:57,099 --> 00:08:04,889 England, hazy IPA, 6%. Um, it's, I'll read the can. It's a little more on the 154 00:08:04,889 --> 00:08:05,900 can. It 155 00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:12,899 says crocs, crocs, crocs. We just love crocs. We're crazy about them. Who isn't 156 00:08:12,899 --> 00:08:13,460 this one's 157 00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:18,540 for all the croc lovers out there. A go-to IPA made with dependable hops to 158 00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:19,779 match everyone's 159 00:08:19,779 --> 00:08:27,319 super reliable, always in season footwear friend crocs. And then a little, uh, 160 00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:28,300 art part 161 00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:33,419 hand on the on tap does tell me that it's Citra mosaic Simcoe and Centennial. I 162 00:08:33,419 --> 00:08:34,019 was 163 00:08:34,019 --> 00:08:37,720 going to say old faithful hops or whatever they called it. You know, it's gonna 164 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:37,820 be a 165 00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:42,750 bunch of C hops, right? And I figured it was just like, uh, kind of like a 166 00:08:42,750 --> 00:08:43,539 flagship. Maybe 167 00:08:43,539 --> 00:08:47,899 it is. Maybe it isn't. I don't know. But we'll get, uh, pour it a little out 168 00:08:47,899 --> 00:08:48,860 here. Take a 169 00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:53,720 little sniff or some out for the homies. It's definitely a little hoppy. There 170 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,259 's like hints 171 00:08:54,259 --> 00:08:59,679 of like small hints of like malt pine and then like some citrus coming through. 172 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,100 Hmm. 173 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:04,990 Sounds a little old school, but it's got some old school hops, right? That's 174 00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:05,779 what I'm thinking. 175 00:09:05,779 --> 00:09:11,509 So, uh, on the old tongue jobber now, there we go. So it does have a bit of a 176 00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:12,340 malt backbone 177 00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:16,620 and then you get a little sweetness after that. And then, um, man, what is that 178 00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:17,159 flavor 179 00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:22,860 right there? Pine. No, it's not. It's like a, it's definitely like a fruity 180 00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:24,340 flavor. I 181 00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:29,250 just can't figure out what it is. One second. Like a, a subtle sweetness after 182 00:09:29,250 --> 00:09:30,039 the malt, 183 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:34,840 no bitterness. And it really is just like subtle malt character. Not my 184 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,340 favorite in 185 00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:41,820 hazies, but it's not bad. I was going to say, would you consider it a hazy or 186 00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:43,340 an unfiltered? 187 00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:47,559 So look at it. Cause I could kind of see it in the background there. Yeah. The 188 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,100 beer itself 189 00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:54,279 is, is very hazy. Um, but it's got more of that old school coloring to it. Well 190 00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:55,100 , it is 191 00:09:55,100 --> 00:10:02,269 darker, like, like a golden rod, a little bit, almost that, uh, Amber color. It 192 00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:03,100 's, it's 193 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:10,980 not bad. It's not great. I can drink it. I don't think I would get it again, 194 00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:11,299 but I'm 195 00:10:11,299 --> 00:10:16,100 happy. My kids, you know, are into, you know, picking out what they want me to 196 00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:16,700 drink. I 197 00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:21,460 think that's like a fun. I love it so much. When you have kids as a dad, as a 198 00:10:21,460 --> 00:10:22,659 guy, husband, 199 00:10:22,659 --> 00:10:26,250 whatever male dude, you know, you always like people are like, Oh, do you want 200 00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:26,779 a boy? Do 201 00:10:26,779 --> 00:10:31,679 you want a boy? Well, it doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl, because if 202 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,379 you raise 203 00:10:32,379 --> 00:10:38,580 your kids, right, you, your interests will eventually rub off on your children, 204 00:10:38,580 --> 00:10:39,139 right? 205 00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:44,899 Whether it's sports superheroes, you know, if you're, whatever you're into 206 00:10:44,899 --> 00:10:46,939 being a drunk, 207 00:10:46,939 --> 00:10:52,579 exactly. It'll eventually, you know, something will rub off onto them and they 208 00:10:52,579 --> 00:10:53,039 will take 209 00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:57,659 some kind of interest, whether it's full or partial. And I don't know, I just 210 00:10:57,659 --> 00:10:58,139 think it's 211 00:10:58,139 --> 00:11:01,719 kind of like a, that they have fun with it. Wait till she's 12. She'll be like 212 00:11:01,719 --> 00:11:01,940 pumping 213 00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:09,629 iron and slamming IPAs. If my kids do that at 12, she'll be president. You've 214 00:11:09,629 --> 00:11:10,220 done something 215 00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:16,279 right at that point. Yeah. Well, except the drunk part. Probably not good idea. 216 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:16,539 Is it 217 00:11:16,539 --> 00:11:20,129 12 late for Wisconsin? I mean, don't they start a little early there? Yeah. I 218 00:11:20,129 --> 00:11:20,500 think 219 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:28,720 my father-in-law and my dad both started at 10. We're talking, we're talking 220 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:28,980 drinking 221 00:11:28,980 --> 00:11:36,940 and cigs. So, and uh, that's old school. I got pretty nuts here. Yeah. Well, 222 00:11:36,940 --> 00:11:38,299 very nice. 223 00:11:38,299 --> 00:11:40,659 I love when your kids pick out your beer. Cause it's, it's basically like a 224 00:11:40,659 --> 00:11:41,059 Russian 225 00:11:41,059 --> 00:11:45,049 roulette and because they find like the prettiest or funniest or whatever cans 226 00:11:45,049 --> 00:11:46,259 they can find, 227 00:11:46,259 --> 00:11:51,899 right. It says absolutely nothing about the beer and I can't hear nothing about 228 00:11:51,899 --> 00:11:53,100 the brewery. 229 00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:58,419 Yeah. Zero fucks. I love it. I can't wait until you try it. So when you said 230 00:11:58,419 --> 00:11:58,860 that you're 231 00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:02,909 kids picked out of your beer, I was like, yes, here we go. Yeah. And I 232 00:12:02,909 --> 00:12:03,580 purposely planned 233 00:12:03,580 --> 00:12:08,610 on having it after they bought it. I was like, Greg's gonna love this. And did 234 00:12:08,610 --> 00:12:09,059 you get the 235 00:12:09,059 --> 00:12:13,730 whole four pack of it? I did. You got three more of those bad boys, huh? This 236 00:12:13,730 --> 00:12:14,620 one, I don't 237 00:12:14,620 --> 00:12:19,940 think this one was bad. It was like maybe $13.99. Goddamn your beer is cheap. 238 00:12:19,940 --> 00:12:20,580 You know, 239 00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:23,779 but you know that quad I had last week, I mean, I was even kind of impressed 240 00:12:23,779 --> 00:12:24,380 with this. 241 00:12:24,380 --> 00:12:28,909 This is only $19.99 for a evil twin quad. It's pretty good. Especially with the 242 00:12:28,909 --> 00:12:29,580 algorithm 243 00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:33,659 being such a high ABV and all that stuff. Right. I would say that was probably 244 00:12:33,659 --> 00:12:33,899 like 245 00:12:33,899 --> 00:12:39,919 a one to one to one ratio if I was to guess. That beer was really good. But 246 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:40,940 this one, it's 247 00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:44,440 okay. It's drinkable. I can finish the four pack. I just, I just really don't 248 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:44,820 think I'd 249 00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:49,540 buy it again. Yeah, that's fair. Not a dream pour. I am curious on what these 250 00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:50,659 guys, what 251 00:12:50,659 --> 00:12:54,159 else these guys have to offer here in a little house. Yeah. Cause I've never 252 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:55,419 heard of them. 253 00:12:55,419 --> 00:13:00,759 Right. Yeah. I don't know if you have, I know I have not, this is the first 254 00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:01,019 time. Thanks 255 00:13:01,019 --> 00:13:07,049 to your daughters for introducing me to a new brewery. They'll say you're 256 00:13:07,049 --> 00:13:09,060 welcome. Yeah. 257 00:13:09,060 --> 00:13:13,720 On their behalf. You know, sometimes the closest I get, you know, no kids and 258 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,659 Marty's not great 259 00:13:14,659 --> 00:13:18,739 at picking out beer. He just likes to drink mine. The wife and I will sometimes 260 00:13:18,739 --> 00:13:19,460 , you know, 261 00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:21,779 like if, if I finish a beer and she's getting up to go to the kitchen, like, 262 00:13:21,779 --> 00:13:22,299 Hey, can you 263 00:13:22,299 --> 00:13:25,799 get me a beer? And she'll go, what do you want? I was surprised me. So she'll 264 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:26,019 pour it 265 00:13:26,019 --> 00:13:29,860 in a glass and then bring it to me and make me guess what it is. Always. If 266 00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:30,580 that's fun, 267 00:13:30,580 --> 00:13:34,080 we'll do that to each other. Like, guess what kind of style it is or what beer 268 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:34,779 exactly it 269 00:13:34,779 --> 00:13:38,470 is all the above. So it'd be like, oh, this is, you know, clearly if it's a ha 270 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:38,899 zy, it's 271 00:13:38,899 --> 00:13:43,340 duh, it's a hazy. Um, you can see it out the bat, but you know, like, Oh, this 272 00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:43,699 is, it could 273 00:13:43,699 --> 00:13:48,139 be juicy. Greg. Well, you wouldn't see that though. You bite your tongue. Oh 274 00:13:48,139 --> 00:13:49,620 yeah. Um, 275 00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:52,259 you know, and then it's like, okay, based on what you know about the beer that 276 00:13:52,259 --> 00:13:52,460 's in 277 00:13:52,460 --> 00:13:56,669 the fridge, you know, what beer do you think this is? And, um, you know, pretty 278 00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:57,139 decent 279 00:13:57,139 --> 00:14:01,669 track record because I know what beer is in the fridge. That's what my favorite 280 00:14:01,669 --> 00:14:02,059 beer tender 281 00:14:02,059 --> 00:14:05,980 will do. Sometimes I'll tell him to just, he said, ah, what do you want? Just 282 00:14:05,980 --> 00:14:06,659 give me 283 00:14:06,659 --> 00:14:11,649 some kind of IPA and he'll pour me an IPA and then I will guess off of what's 284 00:14:11,649 --> 00:14:12,179 on the 285 00:14:12,179 --> 00:14:17,119 menu. Yeah. What he gave me. That's all. I like that. Yeah. It's fun to guess. 286 00:14:17,119 --> 00:14:17,500 It's 287 00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:21,200 good times. Uh, all right. Any, um, besides, you know, hanging out with your 288 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:21,899 kids, any, 289 00:14:21,899 --> 00:14:25,419 any research lately? I, I, I don't know about you. I've been, um, work. I'm 290 00:14:25,419 --> 00:14:25,980 still on the 291 00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:29,519 road. I'm in a hotel again this week and just said, done a ton of work with the 292 00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:30,259 holidays. 293 00:14:30,259 --> 00:14:35,389 Yeah. Not a ton of time for research for me. Same. I'm, I'm on the same page 294 00:14:35,389 --> 00:14:36,059 there. So, 295 00:14:36,059 --> 00:14:39,110 um, all right. I won't talk about my research thing cause I don't, I don't 296 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:39,979 really have anything 297 00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:48,179 to talk about. Sorry, everybody. Yeah. But it is the holiday season and there's 298 00:14:48,179 --> 00:14:48,659 one of 299 00:14:48,659 --> 00:14:53,610 the season as someone said, yes. And there's something that I must do every 300 00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:54,100 year. And once 301 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:57,400 again, I will give everyone a little backstory for all the new listeners. I 302 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,340 grew up listening 303 00:14:58,340 --> 00:15:03,600 to Mark and Brian radio show in here in LA and it was a morning show. Mark and 304 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:03,740 Brian 305 00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:09,039 were hilarious. Um, sort of my, um, my radio gods. If you, Mark always called 306 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:09,779 himself a 307 00:15:09,779 --> 00:15:13,539 radio God. Anyways, they, I think it was Mark that found this, maybe it was 308 00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:16,899 Brian, a sociopath, 309 00:15:16,899 --> 00:15:24,669 right? Narcissist. Um, he found at like a goodwill, this old, old, old Disney 310 00:15:24,669 --> 00:15:24,860 record 311 00:15:24,860 --> 00:15:29,539 that had like, uh, Christmas songs and stories and you know, just got a 312 00:15:29,539 --> 00:15:30,779 Christmas record 313 00:15:30,779 --> 00:15:35,650 of sorts from Disney from way back when. And on it was this track I'm about to 314 00:15:35,650 --> 00:15:36,619 play you 315 00:15:36,619 --> 00:15:40,279 and I fucking love it. I crack up every time I laughed as a kid when they first 316 00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:40,779 started 317 00:15:40,779 --> 00:15:44,000 playing this and every year it's still my favorite. So because they're no 318 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,340 longer on 319 00:15:44,340 --> 00:15:48,539 the air ever since I started podcasting, which was the year they went off the 320 00:15:48,539 --> 00:15:49,620 air, I've played 321 00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:53,740 this on all the shows I've been a part of because it's just my fucking favorite 322 00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:54,020 and 323 00:15:54,020 --> 00:16:00,139 without this, it's not Christmas time. So everybody, please enjoy the dropping 324 00:16:00,139 --> 00:16:00,540 of the 325 00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:05,459 Yule log. Christmas Eve is probably the most exciting 326 00:16:05,459 --> 00:16:11,470 night of the year for children everywhere. At our house, the ritual is always 327 00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:12,340 the same. 328 00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:17,139 Mom hurries dinner out of the way so that the festivities can begin. First, I 329 00:16:17,139 --> 00:16:17,340 lay a 330 00:16:17,340 --> 00:16:23,590 fire in the fireplace. I pride myself on the way I lay a fire. To begin, I cr 331 00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:24,620 inkle newspaper 332 00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:38,659 to put under the grate. Then I put in the kindling, breaking the sticks into 333 00:16:38,659 --> 00:16:39,179 the proper 334 00:16:39,179 --> 00:16:53,250 lengths. Then I bring in the Yule log and put it in the grate. That's the 335 00:16:53,250 --> 00:16:56,379 biggest log 336 00:16:56,379 --> 00:17:03,620 we've ever had, Dad. Yeah, and the heaviest too. If that doesn't sound like 337 00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:04,180 someone taking 338 00:17:04,180 --> 00:17:09,579 a shit, I don't know what does. The grunting, the dropping, just all of it. 339 00:17:09,579 --> 00:17:11,380 Also, so first 340 00:17:11,380 --> 00:17:18,400 off, let me say, I look forward to Christmas every year and this is one of the 341 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,220 reasons 342 00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:26,410 I love it. Number two and then number three. Thank you. We we've all started 343 00:17:26,410 --> 00:17:27,660 fires before. 344 00:17:27,660 --> 00:17:37,970 Sure, whether you have a fire pit. How big are the logs that you like? This guy 345 00:17:37,970 --> 00:17:38,299 sounds 346 00:17:38,299 --> 00:17:51,470 like he is in an entire tree. Also, just one log. Usually it's like a couple. I 347 00:17:51,470 --> 00:17:53,180 don't know. 348 00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:59,109 Because you need to, but it's the Yule log. So that's wild. Yeah, I love it. I 349 00:17:59,109 --> 00:17:59,339 clearly 350 00:17:59,339 --> 00:18:03,970 the dude's taking a shit and the newspaper crinkling sounds like the ocean and 351 00:18:03,970 --> 00:18:04,539 some Foley 352 00:18:04,539 --> 00:18:07,990 artists got paid way too much money for that. And they're like, I got to earn 353 00:18:07,990 --> 00:18:08,539 my keep more 354 00:18:08,539 --> 00:18:13,549 sound effects. It's brilliant. Yeah. I don't know whose idea that was, but that 355 00:18:13,549 --> 00:18:14,460 was, yeah. 356 00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,720 I love when the sticks are breaking. It sounds like those little poppers. It 357 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,019 just sounds 358 00:18:18,019 --> 00:18:21,549 like whips over that. Yeah. I always reminds me the little poppers that you 359 00:18:21,549 --> 00:18:21,980 throw at the 360 00:18:21,980 --> 00:18:27,400 ground. Little white popper things. Yeah, yeah. Everybody down. So anyways, 361 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,140 everybody, 362 00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:32,099 you may now celebrate the holiday season. You're welcome. It's official. It's 363 00:18:32,099 --> 00:18:32,900 official. 364 00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:37,769 You cannot celebrate until we have the dropping of the Yule log. Log has been 365 00:18:37,769 --> 00:18:38,819 dropped. Go 366 00:18:38,819 --> 00:18:44,220 forth and celebrate. All right. Before I talk about my beverage, still ludic 367 00:18:44,220 --> 00:18:44,779 rous libation 368 00:18:44,779 --> 00:18:50,819 law, going to California for this one. California prohibits alcohol producers 369 00:18:50,819 --> 00:18:52,099 from listing the 370 00:18:52,099 --> 00:18:57,880 names of retailers or restaurants that sell their products. That also includes 371 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:58,980 advertising 372 00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:04,440 and newsletters. Damn, which I thought was interesting because like I know a 373 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,900 lot of breweries 374 00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:10,109 and the one I could thought of the most was stone has a beer finder thing on 375 00:19:10,109 --> 00:19:11,380 their website. 376 00:19:11,380 --> 00:19:14,059 Find our beer, type in your zip code and we'll show you where we sell our beer 377 00:19:14,059 --> 00:19:14,819 around there. 378 00:19:14,819 --> 00:19:20,460 So I wonder if like the Internet is like a loophole for that. Yeah, I don't 379 00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:22,180 know. Because 380 00:19:22,180 --> 00:19:26,970 believe it or not, Greg, WWW stands for World Wide Web. I don't know if you do 381 00:19:26,970 --> 00:19:27,740 this. It's 382 00:19:27,740 --> 00:19:35,839 like a 90s thing. I thought it was World Wide Wrestling. One would hope so. So 383 00:19:35,839 --> 00:19:36,339 maybe it's 384 00:19:36,339 --> 00:19:40,380 like a loophole. Like it's technically not considered local because it's vast. 385 00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:40,740 Yeah. 386 00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:45,839 Or maybe it's like it's not advertisements or whatever, because you have to do 387 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:46,980 the searching. 388 00:19:46,980 --> 00:19:51,339 They just give you the result. I don't know. It's weird. It's very California. 389 00:19:51,339 --> 00:19:51,819 California. 390 00:19:51,819 --> 00:19:56,619 It's so funny. Has some really cool alcohol laws and then has some really weird 391 00:19:56,619 --> 00:19:57,220 alcohol 392 00:19:57,220 --> 00:20:01,650 laws like we are one of the few states that solidified after COVID the whole 393 00:20:01,650 --> 00:20:02,420 like booze 394 00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:07,049 to go thing. Right. But then we have this weird shit where it's like you can't 395 00:20:07,049 --> 00:20:07,299 tell 396 00:20:07,299 --> 00:20:12,329 people where to find your beer. Oh, all right. The alcohol to go thing is still 397 00:20:12,329 --> 00:20:12,819 pretty weird 398 00:20:12,819 --> 00:20:16,730 because you can't do that anywhere here. Oh, I would think Wisconsin of all 399 00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:17,339 places would 400 00:20:17,339 --> 00:20:21,230 be right. You would think so. DTF. Yeah. Like I'm pretty certain all the 401 00:20:21,230 --> 00:20:22,019 restaurants and 402 00:20:22,019 --> 00:20:27,299 stuff that we're doing to go stuff just kind of killed it after everything. 403 00:20:27,299 --> 00:20:28,859 Once it expired. 404 00:20:28,859 --> 00:20:34,269 Right. Yeah. Not here. There's nothing like ordering from the local Mexican 405 00:20:34,269 --> 00:20:35,099 restaurant 406 00:20:35,099 --> 00:20:41,819 and getting like three margaritas to go. Yeah. And nem shits was some shit. Let 407 00:20:41,819 --> 00:20:44,059 me tell you. 408 00:20:44,059 --> 00:20:47,579 There's a local chain. They're just, I think just in Southern California, it's 409 00:20:47,579 --> 00:20:48,140 a barbecue 410 00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:52,369 place. It's called Wood Ranch. During COVID you could order an old fashioned or 411 00:20:52,369 --> 00:20:52,779 I mean 412 00:20:52,779 --> 00:20:56,289 you can order multiple cocktails, but the one we would order is the old 413 00:20:56,289 --> 00:20:57,259 fashioned. And 414 00:20:57,259 --> 00:21:02,380 for what was basically like 18 bucks, you'd get like four drinks worth of old 415 00:21:02,380 --> 00:21:03,140 fashioned 416 00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:07,650 and they just fill up one of those soup containers. Fucking fantastic. And they 417 00:21:07,650 --> 00:21:08,500 were not light 418 00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:12,420 on the booze. They were great. That's what you want. Oh, it's absolutely. It 419 00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:13,059 was great 420 00:21:13,059 --> 00:21:16,269 during that time. You couldn't ask for anything better. No, we needed the booze 421 00:21:16,269 --> 00:21:16,819 during that 422 00:21:16,819 --> 00:21:20,460 time. Let me tell you. I don't know how people made it without honest to 423 00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:21,220 goodness. Like I 424 00:21:21,220 --> 00:21:24,369 know I didn't. I know I put on some weight in 2020 cause I did a little extra 425 00:21:24,369 --> 00:21:24,819 drinking 426 00:21:24,819 --> 00:21:29,019 that year. A lot of, a lot of people did. Yeah. Still carrying it around too. 427 00:21:29,019 --> 00:21:29,619 Um, all 428 00:21:29,619 --> 00:21:40,329 right, let's uh, let's make a call of the pen if you don't mind. You know, tis 429 00:21:40,329 --> 00:21:44,539 the season, 430 00:21:44,539 --> 00:21:49,369 the giving season and uh, intern Brian was very giving. He hooked me up with a 431 00:21:49,369 --> 00:21:49,619 couple 432 00:21:49,619 --> 00:21:58,380 of beers. Uh, but one of them is this Trillium Fort point pale ale. Yeah. Yeah. 433 00:21:58,380 --> 00:21:59,859 Another pale 434 00:21:59,859 --> 00:22:02,819 two weeks in a row cause you know, I don't care what season it is. I want some 435 00:22:02,819 --> 00:22:03,180 fucking 436 00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:09,059 pales and I wanted to be hazy cause I'm a Hayes bitch. Uh, it's 6.6% which to 437 00:22:09,059 --> 00:22:09,700 me really 438 00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:17,500 inching into that IPA territory, but whatever that is pretty heavy for a pale. 439 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:17,980 I feel like 440 00:22:17,980 --> 00:22:23,980 anything over 6.5 or even over six weeks. Yeah, I think six is heavy, but 6.5 441 00:22:23,980 --> 00:22:24,739 and above 442 00:22:24,739 --> 00:22:30,509 to me, we're talking IPA territory, but either way I'll take it. Uh, so 6.6% 443 00:22:30,509 --> 00:22:31,539 has a four to 444 00:22:31,539 --> 00:22:36,960 one on untapped and they say our signature American pale ale balances light, 445 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,819 crisp malt 446 00:22:37,819 --> 00:22:42,569 character with an abundance of hop derived aromatics and flavors from the use 447 00:22:42,569 --> 00:22:43,180 of Citra 448 00:22:43,180 --> 00:22:49,680 and Columbus. The fragrant nose is fresh citrus, tropical fruit and peach, bold 449 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,379 flavors of 450 00:22:50,379 --> 00:22:54,910 pineapple and mango mixed with dank notes of zesty citrus and fresh pine 451 00:22:54,910 --> 00:22:55,819 needles with 452 00:22:55,819 --> 00:23:00,400 the smooth mouthfeel, gentle bitterness and dry finish. Fort point is our 453 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,400 standard daily 454 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,339 drinker on the Old Schnauz. I'll tell you while you're sniffing that very 455 00:23:06,339 --> 00:23:08,180 curious. Um, 456 00:23:08,180 --> 00:23:15,970 if Brian got this here in California or on boss Massachusetts, I know the 457 00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:17,220 answer. I don't 458 00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:23,490 want to talk about this. So you got it in California. Okay. There's a shop near 459 00:23:23,490 --> 00:23:23,779 his 460 00:23:23,779 --> 00:23:27,730 house where the owner is a big beer fan and like brings in, he gets some 461 00:23:27,730 --> 00:23:28,740 specialty beers 462 00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:32,220 and like back in the day when Russian river was hard to find, like the only 463 00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:33,019 place locally 464 00:23:33,019 --> 00:23:39,049 we could find Russian river. Um, so not surprising they had some trillion, but 465 00:23:39,049 --> 00:23:40,220 on that note, 466 00:23:40,220 --> 00:23:46,869 you want to guess how much this four pack was? So it is, it is a pale to pale 6 467 00:23:46,869 --> 00:23:48,700 .6 percent. 468 00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:55,109 I could tell you how much that beer costs here. Okay. And I believe it was 24 469 00:23:55,109 --> 00:23:57,140 99. Oh, 470 00:23:57,140 --> 00:24:01,990 so he didn't get taken too hard here. I believe what he told me it was a 28 471 00:24:01,990 --> 00:24:02,859 bucks. The four 472 00:24:02,859 --> 00:24:06,049 pack sounds about right. Yeah. All right. I thought you were going to say like 473 00:24:06,049 --> 00:24:06,220 it's 474 00:24:06,220 --> 00:24:13,990 $17. Anytime trillium, which I would say in the last year has been fairly 475 00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:15,660 frequent, like 476 00:24:15,660 --> 00:24:22,950 once a month ish, we'll get a trillium drop. Um, but the prices are so dumb to 477 00:24:22,950 --> 00:24:23,700 me, like, 478 00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:29,470 like a regular IPA, like a seven and a half, 8% IPA. Yeah. Is the 28 bucks that 479 00:24:29,470 --> 00:24:29,819 you just 480 00:24:29,819 --> 00:24:34,079 got the pale ale for. So, yeah, I don't care. You can, people could tell me how 481 00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:34,980 good trillium 482 00:24:34,980 --> 00:24:39,200 is. I will refuse to pay that fucking price. Well, he was not, he got two 483 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:39,819 different four 484 00:24:39,819 --> 00:24:43,659 packs from trim. He gave me one from each. I think one was 28 and one was 30. 485 00:24:43,659 --> 00:24:44,099 So very 486 00:24:44,099 --> 00:24:50,989 nice of, of intern Brian to hook it up. Um, what a fucking stud. Can we get him 487 00:24:50,989 --> 00:24:51,759 back on? 488 00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:53,980 We need, we know what we need. We sort of, I have talked about when we were 489 00:24:53,980 --> 00:24:54,420 drunk the 490 00:24:54,420 --> 00:24:57,379 other night, he was at that same wine party I was talking about last week and, 491 00:24:57,379 --> 00:24:57,660 uh, at 492 00:24:57,660 --> 00:25:01,620 a friend's house. And, um, yeah, we're like, he's like, when are you going to 493 00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:02,380 have interim 494 00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:05,380 Brian bag? I was like, we should have interim Brian bag. I'm like, we 495 00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:06,480 absolutely should. 496 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,520 I know we generally have chicks on the show and, you know, try to break up the 497 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:09,940 sausage 498 00:25:09,940 --> 00:25:14,019 fest, but we need some interim Brian in our lives. But I also need to be at 499 00:25:14,019 --> 00:25:14,700 home and not 500 00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:18,619 in a hotel for that to happen. That's true. You are in a hotel. Yeah. So in you 501 00:25:18,619 --> 00:25:19,299 , uh, on 502 00:25:19,299 --> 00:25:25,589 the schnoz quickly here, uh, it's a light light on the schnoz. Do you get like 503 00:25:25,589 --> 00:25:25,819 a little 504 00:25:25,819 --> 00:25:29,390 bit of the, the peach I'm picking up, but overall pretty light. That tastes 505 00:25:29,390 --> 00:25:29,859 though, 506 00:25:29,859 --> 00:25:35,109 much bigger. I get the citrus, I get the mango. I'm not getting so much peach 507 00:25:35,109 --> 00:25:35,859 as I did on 508 00:25:35,859 --> 00:25:40,259 the nose. Uh, it's got a fair bit of malt. That's a little old school in that 509 00:25:40,259 --> 00:25:41,059 way. I'm 510 00:25:41,059 --> 00:25:45,069 getting some malt. I mean, you can see it's very hazy. It's definitely in the 511 00:25:45,069 --> 00:25:45,460 hazy territory. 512 00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:49,799 All right. I feel like we're having an issue with that today. Yeah, it's weird. 513 00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:49,940 It's got 514 00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:53,869 all that old school malt to it, but otherwise, uh, you know, very good, nice, 515 00:25:53,869 --> 00:25:54,700 great, easy 516 00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:59,700 drinker. Um, doesn't taste like it was worth $28 a four pack. Oh, I don't want 517 00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:00,299 to offend 518 00:26:00,299 --> 00:26:07,259 intern Brian, but, um, it's not offending him. It's a, I found this really cool 519 00:26:07,259 --> 00:26:08,059 brewery 520 00:26:08,059 --> 00:26:14,900 that's very hyped and I would like to give you a little, uh, spill of it. Yeah. 521 00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:15,259 I'm glad 522 00:26:15,259 --> 00:26:20,579 I got to try it. And had I not had Trillium ever with the name that they had 523 00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:20,980 and I was 524 00:26:20,980 --> 00:26:25,390 out in the wild and I saw one for the first time, I would probably spend $28 at 525 00:26:25,390 --> 00:26:25,819 least 526 00:26:25,819 --> 00:26:32,029 just to try one. But overall, no, and it's probably not worth the $28. In fact, 527 00:26:32,029 --> 00:26:33,440 not overall. 528 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,660 Definitely no. I mean, no beers were $28 cause I know how much it costs them to 529 00:26:37,660 --> 00:26:38,220 make it. 530 00:26:38,220 --> 00:26:44,220 And it was not $28 for four of these, but that brings up a good point. Does the 531 00:26:44,220 --> 00:26:44,420 name 532 00:26:44,420 --> 00:26:48,549 of a brewery Trillium had tree house a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to not 533 00:26:48,549 --> 00:26:49,460 murder John, that 534 00:26:49,460 --> 00:26:54,500 kind of name. Does that automatically add like eight bucks to the four pack? I 535 00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:54,720 would 536 00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:00,460 say so. Seems like it. I mean, other than like maybe getting at the source, but 537 00:27:00,460 --> 00:27:00,900 I feel 538 00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:04,730 like those hype breweries can sort of charge whatever they want. I, I was 539 00:27:04,730 --> 00:27:05,299 starting to think 540 00:27:05,299 --> 00:27:13,299 those days were coming to an end, but maybe there's a few scragglers out there. 541 00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:14,660 Um, like 542 00:27:14,660 --> 00:27:19,730 see, see in Drekker prices after seeing like, you know, Trillium drops, like 543 00:27:19,730 --> 00:27:20,859 even when Paris 544 00:27:20,859 --> 00:27:26,329 drops here, super hype brewery out of Louisiana, right. Known for the machine 545 00:27:26,329 --> 00:27:27,819 goes to the machine 546 00:27:27,819 --> 00:27:30,900 and then all the ghost variants, which I've never had, but are supposed to be 547 00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:31,700 really good. 548 00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:37,380 I've had one or two parish comes here and it's anywhere from like 1299 to 1499 549 00:27:37,380 --> 00:27:37,859 a four 550 00:27:37,859 --> 00:27:43,600 pack. No shit. Yeah. That's it. That's a steal. Like I even got a, they sent a 551 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,480 triple IP up 552 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,259 here one, one weekend, uh, he was 1499.

Let's, let's do a little news before we get out of here. The TTB, 580 00:29:13,950 --> 00:29:15,599 you down with 581 00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:20,690 TTB? You know me? Yeah. Uh, has announced formula exemptions. I didn't know 582 00:29:20,690 --> 00:29:20,920 this was 583 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:29,089 a thing. So the alcohol and tobacco tax and trade bureau TTTB is exempt. The 584 00:29:29,089 --> 00:29:29,720 alcohol and 585 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,730 I stuck in your mom last night bureau, uh, the alcohol and tobacco tax and 586 00:29:34,730 --> 00:29:35,880 trade bureau. 587 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,039 Don't say that when you're drunk is exempting 24 brewing ingredients from its 588 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:42,420 formula submission 589 00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:47,059 and approval requirements. What does this mean? You ask, going forward using 590 00:29:47,059 --> 00:29:47,960 the ingredients 591 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,970 that I'm about to tell you will no longer trigger the need to submit and 592 00:29:52,970 --> 00:29:53,839 receive TTB 593 00:29:53,839 --> 00:30:00,190 approval of the formula for the beer in question. Brewers should recognize, um, 594 00:30:00,190 --> 00:30:01,680 that the exemption 595 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:08,090 of a particular ingredient does not exempt the flavoring. So if you get like an 596 00:30:08,090 --> 00:30:08,440 extract 597 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,490 or something, but if you use these specific ingredients, you no longer need TTB 598 00:30:13,490 --> 00:30:14,279 approval. 599 00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:16,500 And I didn't know this was a pro. So I brought this up cause I didn't know this 600 00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:16,799 is a whole 601 00:30:16,799 --> 00:30:20,609 thing that you had to get like TTB approval to use certain ingredients. So the 602 00:30:20,609 --> 00:30:21,440 new 24 603 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,619 ingredients, I'll just blow through them real quick.

Right. So you don't need to submit 612 00:30:58,370 --> 00:30:58,839 your recipe 613 00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:03,730 to the TTB for approval based on using one of these ingredients. They're now on 614 00:31:03,730 --> 00:31:04,599 the AOK 615 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:11,140 list. I'm surprised that any of the nuts made it because, uh, algae stuff.
