Recent guest Nate from Rum & Regret Podcast is back for another educational beer session on the popular, yet somewhat forgot Hefeweizen beer style. And boy it sure is a toughie to pronounce. Enjoy some history, the characteristics details and some fun. 

Dads have been drinking beer since the beginning of time, most likely cultivating beer in their man caves during the early age of man. Literal caves with a man in them – not the cave with a fridge filled with nitro cream IPAs, darts, and signed, framed jerseys of athletes from the ’80s.  The beer they crafted using rock tools, the leaves of a mulberry bush, and wooly mammoth dung has changed a little bit over time but not much. The current version is brewed by a small brewery in America’s heartland– Budweiser. Totally joking. Or am I? In honor of dads all over the lands, throughout time, we salute you in this special Father’s Day edition where we go over the top 10 dad beers and shocker – we try some along the way.  Jason Reedy joins us for the festivities.

Join us for another beer session show as we navigate down the historical trail of craft beer's latest craze - the Hazy Ipa.  

Many of you have tried a porter, typically sweet and laden with that feisty maiden called alcohol. You've probably even enjoyed one or two. But have you ever tried a porter? A porter. You know a person employed to carry luggage and other loads, especially in a railroad station, airport, or hotel? Well I have, and let me tell you - it hurts when they don't call you after a first date. It hurts a lot. Awkward... On today's continuing beer sessions segment we teach you about the history and profile of a beer that is mostly looking in from outside the craft beer scene wondering why not me? Why aren't I inside that craft brewery or taproom? I'm sweet. I'm malty. A special guest drops by and we might even try one or two.

­­­­­­Well, the fans have spoken. Okay, so a fan. “Why don’t you guys do just a beer show?” “We do a beer show,” we responded. “No, I mean like the whole thing is about beer; no topic or anything.” “Why would we do that?" 

If you’re looking for our normal production - this is not it. It’s literally us drinking beer. But it’s like, pretty fun. Steve lines up a blind taste test of IPAs and the winner will be the one you least suspect. And in fitting German tradition we do our own truncated version of Oktoberfest right here on this show with a healthy sampling of Bavarian brews. Jason Reedy stops by the join in the fun. Prose!
