Surprise beer is here! If you've been following along with us on Twitter, we have been drinking a new surprise beer out of our beer advent boxes each day since the start of December. And today we're finally going to drink one together. It's a little chilly so we're hoping for a big ol' stout, or maybe a Christmas beer? We'll learn what it is about 3 minutes into the show...Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.
Mount Beermore was created because our talented producer was drinking beer on Vacation — well — it wasn't a vacation, it was a Wednesday... The idea was stolen from Mount Rushmore which is a gigantic rock in South Dakota — Gutzon Borglum was charged with choosing who to put on that monument — and even the US Bureau of National Parks likes to ask "who would you put up there if it were your decision?" We took that idea and applied it to Beer. We looked for the Founding Breweries of our own Beer Journey... we'll catch you up on the first 3 to get 'carved in stone' — but this episode is about the final piece of the puzzle/monument/mountain.... the 4th and final selection in our Mount Beermore!

Tonight we're drinking local - Pillow Fort from Edmund's Oast and Flying Machine! The local part is extremely fitting - because while today is one of the biggest drinking days of the year in the US — we are already thinking about this Sunday, November 29th; aka Small Brewers Sunday! Untappd has partnered up with the Brewers Association to celebrate with beer lovers and we encourage everyone to support independent breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms. Seek the Independent Craft Brewer Seal, and purchase craft beer for your holiday festivities. And for those of you who aren't in the US, look for your own Country's independent seal, like SIBA in the UK, the Independent Craft Seal in Canada, and #ASKFORINDIEBEER in Australia!

On Drinking Socially every beer that we haven’t checked-in is a beer we want to drink. Sometimes the allure of a top-rated brewery becomes too much to ignore.. and sometimes... we get really lucky! On this episode, Christmas comes early, and brings a whole Treehouse! That’s right — we got our hands on some of the most elusive beers in the world, and we’re about to see if the hype is real! (Spoiler: it is) We're drinking Green by Tree House Brewing Company! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.
Double trouble? 2 for 1? Double bubbles? That works - what we're trying to say is we're drinking two beers today - and we'll be doing the same next week! We're starting across the pond with a brewery hailing from Wokingham, England. Once famous for its bell making and silk mills, now craft beer fans are being drawn in by the intoxicating beers this brewery pumps out. They're almost too good to resist...as their name suggests. We're drinking Be Even More Pacific IPA and Neo Normal IPA by Siren Craft Brew! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.
We began our Beer 101 Series on June 17th, Season 3, Episode 13. That was a feature about Hops... we've since covered all 4 vital ingredients in a beer, how to turn them into beer, and what to do with it afterward — on this episode, we're bringing in Ryan Wheaton from the Branding Brews Podcast and Craft Brew Creative to talk about how marketing plays a role into the beers we drink. We're sipping Doom Sauce by Lord Hobo Brewing in this episode. Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.
We are knee deep into spooky season! And we'd be doing you all a disservice if we didn't enjoy another kind of beer that goes well with this time of year. "TNT" would've called this a "New Classic" back in the day as it may not be making all the hip/cool beer list's yet. But Drinking Socially is once again a step ahead - we're talking about Monster Beers! And no, we don't mean a large beer (check out our Stovepipe Episode 23 for that!) We're talking about beers that are actually named after monsters. We're drinking Batsquatch by Rogue Ales! — so grab your favorite creature feature crafty and let's wolf out on some special brews that may just bite back! 🐺🍻 Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello?

This episode is going to be different. We're going still going to be Jon & Harrison talking about beer, and sometimes candy — but today we're not even doing to drink a beer. This episode features something like beer in that you can find it in bottles and cans, you can drink enough of it to love your favorite sports team, or celebrate a day off of work — and it's (mostly) full of bubbles. You can enjoy it thoroughly in any season, but it's different depending on where you live... but don't worry -- you can still get a badge for drinking Cider 🍻 🍎 We're drinking Blood Amulet by B. Nektar Meadery! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.
At a minimum pumpkins have become their own food group, and at the other it's extreme it's become a way of life! This year we're eating pumpkin cinnamon buns for breakfast and pumpkin pasta for dinner.... and pumpkin toothpaste as a reprieve?? We've got one of the most well known Pumpkin Beers in the country with us today: Punkin Ale by Dogfish Head. We'll cover the style in BJCP, as well as the popular question... to Rim? or not to Rim?

What are those giant cans? We're drinking the canned version of a bomber as we talk about beer, Untappd's upcoming Euro-Fest, and Packaging! Featured this week is Stone IPA by Stone Brewing. "Now one of the most well-respected and best-selling IPAs in the country, this golden beauty explodes with citrusy flavor and hop aromas, all perfectly balanced by a subtle malt character. This crisp, extra hoppy brew is hugely refreshing on a hot day, but will always deliver no matter when you choose to drink it." Plus — Harrison gives us a BJCP breakdown of the American IPA. We're 90% done with Beer 101, and still only 70% done with this beer! Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.
