The Ales and Tales Podcast
Finding and reviewing good beer for all. It’s hard work, but somebody has to do it. Every beer must be thoroughly explored, examined, sipped and sampled; tested for our listeners’ enjoyment. Bad ones, we suffer through...so you don’t have to. The good ones?...well, that’s just a bonus!

This Summery episode brings us Market Garden Brewing’s Shandy. One of three they offer. This Berry Pom Shandy is a wheat beer brewed with berry soda and the flavor of “freshly opened tropical gummy bears”…because nobody wants stale gummy bears. Speaking of gummy bears…tune in for some fun stories. Have you ever added a soda to your perfectly good beer? Fanta maybe? Let us know if you have and how it went.

This episode involves a brewing pact or Braupakt between Weihenstephan and Saint Bernardus breweries. This is the second version of Weihenstephaner Braupakt. And if their first is anywhere near as good as this one, we’re all in! Tons of spice and flavors all over, but none in the wrong amounts. Whether completely cold or as it warms up, it brings a vast array of changing flavors. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Today we try out Sieg Kolsch by Living Waters Brewing. Nothing like some warring cyclops gnomes to drive you to drinking. Check out the description of the can art…you’ll understand. Also, a fun drinking topic: Without looking, is the Keebler Elves home the tree itself, or a house built in the tree? We’d love to hear your thoughts on whether more exotic can art normally provides the more exotic and enjoyable experience or is simple better? Which came first: the Schnitzel or the Kolsch?

With a new studio setup and new beer to dive into, we start off with Seattle Washington based Elysian Brewing Company’s SPACE DUST IPA. Cool logo and bottle art, strong abv at 8.2%, and ideal for that straight up IPA flavor…for those of you who like that particular flavor. Some bitterness, and able to be paired with fairly wide range of tastes. Not a marathon beer, but a good sprint to the finish line? Let us know what you think!

Southern Range Brewing comes swinging in with their Tiny Ass Umbrella, a Juicy IPA. Many apologies for this episode, as there were quite possibly no mature minds available… BUT!...It could be a fun listen. If you are not an IPA fan, this one may be for you.

We tackle Charlotte, NC based N.o.D.a. Brewing Company’s JAM Session in this one. It’s listed as a “sessionable pale ale” brewed with English and American malts, and bright hop notes. Quite possibly a perfect beer for folks who like beer flavored beer. Beer for beer’s sake. Listen in to see if JAM session would be your jam.
