Speaking of Beer

If you go back a ways with me, you probably know that my initial podcasting experience included a nice big dose of Joe Murphy. Back in the Day, I would periodically swing by Draco Vista studios with some beer for the fine folks at the Dragon Page–and later Michael and Evo’s–Wingin’ It! podcast. Joe almost always passed on the beer, but was a role model in conducting yourself with restraint and class, and maintaining your sense of humor, when all around you was going to chaos. I took Joe’s lessons to heart, and hopefully some of that comes through on Speaking of Beer.

Anyway, here’s a tribute compiled by Tee Morris and everyone at the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund, with far-flung testimonials reflecting on Joe on the first anniversary of his passing.

I wonder what Joe would think of my new favorite beverage, Jones Cream Soda…

I compose this post on or about the second anniversary of the Speaking of Beer podcast, and it’s been an outstanding 24 months filled with all kinds of beery good times. To celebrate this podcasting milestone (2 years is still considered a “milestone” in the podosphere, isn’t it?), here’s a super-deluxe souped-up MicroBrewed segment from Tee Morris and Paul from Des Moines. They conclude the epic “Des Moines series” at local brewpub Racoon River Brewing Company, and with the help of bar manager Mike Crownover wend their way through RRBC’s sampler tray. Beer-love practically oozes from their pores as they enjoy some of the best the Midwest has to offer. Enjoy!

Thanks to Brian for first alerting me to these stories:

Apparently, beer-drinking scientists have a tough academic road ahead of them. Sorry, Cathy the Beer Guy’s Sister…

Also, if you know a beer-snubbing wine snob, lay this story on them. Apparently, wine causes more brain damage than beer!

OK, so this has nothing to do with beer, but one of my other passions is cinema, especially of the obscure/cult variety. Apparently word got around, because Jack Mangan recently invited me onto his Deadpan podcast to share my thoughts on the 1984 punk/absurdist classic “Repo Man,” and the results can be found here. If you too lean towards the twisted when it comes to movies, pop a cold generic one and check it out!

Just in time for 2008, you too can show your fine taste in beercasts by sporting something from the Speaking of Beer Cafepress store!

Choose from a mind-boggling array of official SoB products in a variety of designs, some of which are actually related to beer drinking. Make up for that botched Xmas gift with something Beer Guy, or just let your beer geek flag fly in uber-cool SoB duds. Thomas, we’ve even got something for your hop-headed dog!

Find splendiferous beer-related consumption here, or click on the link over there to the right.

And a huge “thanks!” to Tom the Beer Guy’s Brother for setting this whole thing up!

Groucho, JefferyT, and all the other good folks involved with Beer Safari (including yours truly) want to make your holiday season special with this epic little video. We each exchanged beers with another beercast and filmed the resulting opening, drinking and enjoying. Here’s the 34-minute NSFW result:

Thanks to the good folks at The Beer Report, Should I Drink That?, Pacific Brew News, The Good Beer Show, Craft Beer Radio, Dude Night, Big Foamy Head, and Brain Gravy for including me in this project. Good times…

Happy Holidays everyone!

(And in case you’re wondering, yeah, the Crunchberry beer did kinda suck…)

[sarcasm]Ahh…the blissfully smooth-running world of Web 2.0 new media goodness[/sarcasm]. OK, so there’s the proverbial “good news/bad news” situation that seems to be becoming all too common around here. Bad news: Show 41 is rarin’ to go, but parked at the moment in Podango gridlock. As soon as that clears up (and it could be any minute) you’ll be able to enjoy the glory that is me drinking beer with both my sister and Mr. Deadpan himself, Jack Mangan. Good News: Show 42 will (barring techno-glitches) be out hot on 41’s heels, within a week or so, in time for your Holiday drinking pleasure.

For show 42 please acquire:

Santa’s Private Reserve Ale: [alternative: Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale]

and

Samichlaus Bier [alternatives: a toughie…technically it’s a doppelbock, but at 14 % ABV find the strongest doppelbock you can get!]

Sorry again for the herky-jerky release schedule. Then again, maybe I should relax and have a beer…

Thanks for pointing me to this, Dub!

So some of you may be wondering when Show 40 will be heading down the feed. The answer is “soon,” hopefully in the next few days.

So, what’s the deal? Well, I’ve found in the last 1.5 years of doing this that most shows just seem to fall together naturally, and practically write themselves. But every now and then comes an episode that appears doomed to thrash and kick during the creative process, and only reluctantly gets shoved out the door into the podosphere. Circumstances align against it, as if someone doesn’t want the information to come out. Such a show is Show 40.

The good news is, Show 41 is pretty much done (it’s one of those “write themselves” episodes), so there won’t be any significant delay in its arrival.

Sorry for the wait, and thanks for your patience.

Thanks to Devona and Mary for this link.
Apparently, after strenuous exercise, a beer is better at replenishing your precious bodily fluids than water. Well, gotta go hit the treadmill….
