216- Arizona Coyotes Farewell and 2024 World Beer Cup Highlights
(NSFW)
In this lively episode, the crew dives into a mix of nostalgia, creativity, and celebration. The legendary Randal the Enamel Remover makes a comeback in conversation, and Ed proposes an intriguing blend of stout and sour beers. They review the Hockey Czech! Pilsner from Goldwater Brewing Co. and reflect on the bittersweet end of the Arizona Coyotes and Grand Canyon Brewing's Kachina beer, with Nate and Ed expressing their stages of grief over these losses.
They discuss the layoff of Cigar City Brewing workers in Tampa by the newly created Monster Brewing. They ponder whether Ballast Point, now brewed by Kings and Convicts, is making a comeback in the craft beer world. The episode also highlights the 2024 World Beer Cup winners, including local favorites like Goldwater Brewing, Pedal Haus, OHSO Brewing, and 12 West Brewing. Ed reads off other category winners. Finally, Ed poses the question of which event holds more prestige: GABF or the World Beer Cup, and floats the idea of hosting their own HCPC Beer Awards.

215- Dark Lager Dominance | Exploring 2024's Craft Beer Trends and Ed's Spanish Adventure
(NSFW) Join Ed, Chris, and Nate in this episode as Ed returns from Spain and shares his discoveries about the local craft beer scene—or the lack thereof. Ed recounts his visit to a single craft beer bar and a memorable drinking session with some Irish lads. The conversation shifts to Wisconsin, revealed as having the drunkest counties in the US, leading to a discussion about binge drinking and whether the hosts themselves are binge drinkers.
Nate surprises the guys with his newfound love for barrel-aged stouts from Wren House, despite the hefty price tags. And his history of hating on them. They also discuss an article from Hop Culture titled "2024 is the Year of the Dark Lager," reflecting on the popularity of Czech lagers last year and debating whether dark lagers will dominate the scene this year. The team lists some of the best dark lagers to try, making this episode a must-listen for beer enthusiasts!

Road Sodas 15 | Ground Control Woes and Current News
(NSFW) Ed is still out of the country, backpacking around Europe.... we think. Though we're not sure what he's doing over there. I'm sure we'll get filled in on his beer escapades when he gets back. Until then Nate and I decided to sit down at his place and have some of the newer Wren House releases. We talk about some current news from the latest DDH Spellbinder and other varriation release party. The troubles that our friends at Ground Control are having, and a new brewery opening up in North Scottsdale called Pinnacle Brewing. Which is in a semi-industal looking area near the airport. So the beer is probably going to be good.

The assorted sounds of three ageing humans hitting things in a studio for five days. Beautifully nasty and pretty vile at times but ultimately gorgeous. Enjoy!
