OK, this time around we take a break from the obscure, regional, barely-distributed beers and tackle instead a couple of large-to-mid-sized relatively far-flung (within US borders at least) beers, from yes, you guessed it, the West Coast. Whew! Hey, if every show was about beer everyone in the world could get, we’d always be drinking Budweiser. The beers are both from California’s Bear Republic Brewery, and they are:
Red Rocket Ale [alternatives: Lagunitas Censored, Fat Tire, anything containing the word "amber" or "red']
and
Racer 5 India Pale Ale [alternatives: Bell's Two Hearted Ale, Stone IPA, any number of IPA's characterized by the word "aggressive"]
Get yours in time for the next show and the new Wachowski Brothers movie.
So Charlie, are you going to the National Homebrewers Convention in Cinci this year? Rabid fans (who will be there) want to know!
Sadly, I have commitments that will be keeping me in and around the desert all summer, which sucks from any number of perspectives, including the homebrewing one. Have a great time!
Thanks Charlie. Just wanted to let you know that your podcast was the inspiration for me to actually start fermenting at home. Thanks for everything.
Hey Charlie… I’m eagerly awaiting the next episode.. Keep up the good work…
oh, and have you ever considered a prank on the drakovista review crew involving a natty lite and a little food coloring? that might be some interesting listening..
