First off, the name is a mouthful before we even get the can open. Second, don't call it Mr., it worked for that title. A berry and lemon fruited tart sour with a crazy color that will grab attention not just in the glass, but on the taste buds as well! Listen in to find fantastic fruity flavorful fun in this freakishly phenomenal episode. I've just invented a new tongue twister...just like they did!

XÜL Beer Co.’s Tangerine Mafioso – No ectoplasm in the recipe, and no horns on the can, but it may still call you from the fridge. Is it the Gatekeeper to more wild sours or is it the Key Master, opening your tastebuds to something a bit different? Ok….that’s enough Ghostbusters themed comments for now. Also, learn bonus info on other citrus in this episode, proving that drinking and learning can occur at the same time. All the while, we review this Creamsicle inspired tangerine pulp and vanilla stuffed fruited sour that may come to haunt your tastebuds. Apologies for the ghost in the machine, as we had a little bit of technical difficulty with our equipment on this one...coincidence? Hope you enjoy!

In this rambunctious episode, we cover two far ends of the palate spectrum...1.) Barrique Double Barrel Dream Walkin' which by their own words "began its life peacefully resting in Willet six year “High Rye” barrels but was rudely awakened and transferred into an ex-bourbon barrel that previously housed Ghostown Barrel Ventures maple syrup for 9 months." Aaaaaaaaand then, to take things to another extreme, 2.)Parish Brewing's Strawberry Mochi Sour Fruited Berliner Weisse....because, why not! You know, we do this to ourselves all for you...hope you enjoy!

New review coming at you with BONUS beer…in our latest episode, you get two reviews for the price of one! One brings the science, and one brings the art…both coming to us from Wilmington North Carolina. First, from Broomtail Craft Brewery, we get the 910 Pale Ale, scientifically crafted. Following up with a very artistic can, we have New Anthem Brewery’s Shade IPA. Good excuses to go to Wilmington, NC and drink more beer! Listen in and see if they would be a reason to visit.

In this episode, we explore a real treat: Goose Island’s 2022 Bourbon County Brand Stout. This year, they’ve released an Imperial Stout aged in freshly emptied bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill, Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and Buffalo Trace distilleries. They blend the results, and bottle it as a limited release. It’s a unique experience, and it packs a punch at 14.3% ABV. So listen in and see if you would want to hunt one (or two) down for yourself!
