On this episode of Mike’s Toys….Sorry, wrong show.

The Ales and Tales Podcast Episode 53, WILD ride: Duchesse De Bourgogne, Flemish red ale/sour

Our second recording from Halloween, a scary beer for folks living in the dull, mild tasting beer zone…This one is WAAAAAAAAY outside the box.  Expect lots of pairing options, and maybe even some recipe ideas.  Truly, this is a wild beer to try.  Not for the faint of heart…but definitely for those who like to get outside their comfort zone.  If you try it, slow yourself down, because the longer it lingers, the more it changes.  It’s the chameleon of beers.  And if you don’t like it at first, stick with it and see if it changes.  We’d love to hear if you try this one, so let us know!  And if you enjoy the show, help us spread the word; give us a like and subscribe!

It’s Halloween time, and to start off the next few episodes at least one of us is ready to show their Halloween spirit! We dive right into the pumpkin patch with an Imperial Pumpkin Ale: Southern Tier’s “The Pumking.” It’s an 8.6% ABV terror, that though full of spice, comes in for the attack as smooth as could be.

Season 2, Ep. 51: Maine Beer Company’s King Titus Porter on The Ales and Tales Podcast

We’re throwing a curveball at our guest right out of the gate as we break out a great beer company….but a lesser known offering (and not a style he's a fan of...watch some previous episodes and you'll understand). King Titus Porter, by Maine Beer Company. It’s an homage beer to a Gorilla. Listen in to find out a little on that. Cool stuff. And the beer is too! It’s like a Yoohoo if it was coffee…and alcoholic. Lots of flavor but not as thick as you would think. Help us out by giving us a like and subscribing! For audio only, you can find podcast options at www.thealesandtalespodcast.com.
