Episode #27
Which way do you want to die.
Send us Fan Mail A double hazy IPA with an 80s-pink can shouldn’t be this smooth, but Grimm Artisanal Ales’ Lambo Door (Brooklyn, New York) has us drinking fast and talking even faster. We get into real craft beer tasting notes, why an 8% ABV can still feel dangerously easy, and the truth about paying close to $18 for a four-pack. Then we take a detour through the everyday stuff that somehow always turns into a bigger rant, including gas prices that jump overnight and the feeling that none of it makes sense. Food shows up like it always does, because beer pairing is a lifestyle. We break down a killer gumbo dinner and talk about what changes when you cook it camping-style in a Dutch oven over an open fire. After that, we share a Blackstone griddle idea that’s basically built for parties: candied peaches caramelized with butter, brown sugar, and hot honey, layered onto a bruschetta-style bite with pesto, fresh mozzarella, cured ham, jalapeño, and basil from the garden. Sweet, salty, spicy, and ready for your next backyard hang. After the break, we crack Toppling Goliath Brewing Company Caramel Apple Fandango, a fruited sour that drinks like a caramel apple dessert. We debate the finish, rate it honestly, and talk fall beer season strategy, including when to start the pumpkin beers and whether Oktoberfest brews deserve more love. Somewhere in the middle we also play would you rather, attempt “beer math,” and close out with golf plans and NFL preseason hype.
