Batch 218: Now With More Kratom! Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

Alex experiments with kratom to unlock his potential while Michael resorts to smelling salts. In the Beer News, Mikkeller says they're closing their San Diego brewery due to difficulties from Covid and their history of gender-based bullying, harrassment, and poor employee safety protocols has nothing to do with it, the Boyz wonder if Platform Brewing actually exists, and Auntie Anne's teams up with Evil Genius for a pretzel themed beer. For the Bottle Share, Alex brings in a barleywine collab between Alma Mader and Holy Mountain, Michael goes the mead route, and Stephen breaks the rule that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."

Batch 216: Mr. Olympia Mumford & Sons Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

What happens when bodybuilding and folk rock collide? What if they also included breaking baseball bats in the name of evangelism? It's almost like a "What If?" reality within the Maltverse has been revealed. Dead characters are not only alive but thriving. In the Beer News, there's a CO2 shortage, a Pennsylvania staple closes it's doors, and Heineken releases some Heinekicks.

Batch 215: Stephen's Alive! Aug 11, 2022

Show notes

Stephen returns to Malt Couture but before The Malty Boyz settle back into their old ways of drinking barleywines, flanders reds, and shelf turds, Stephen got some notes about the episodes he missed. In the Beer News, the Boyz climb BAMF Mountain, look into Coors latest marketing ploy, "The Thirst Trap", and check out Goose Island's 2022 BCBS line up when they Goose It or Loose It.

Batch 214: Sunken Treasure Tax Evasion Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

Another episode, nice. Alex and Michael do this one. They talk about Miller Lite doing a collab with J Balvin, the new Modelo Oro light beer, and Lagunitus doing a sleek rebrand. They drink beers from Wondrous Brewing, Forest and Main, and Alewife. They also do a bit about Blackbeard's ghost. That's worth the listen alone imo.

Batch 212: Mezcal Madness Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

Alex and Michael invite comedian Nick Gligor back on the pod to drink some mezcal. In beer news, Alex breaks down the newly enacted New Jersey brewery law single-handedly making it even more difficult to like the state. In the mezcal throwdown, they drink mezcals from Del Maguey, Banhez, Yuu Baal, and Codigo 1530 and crown their favorite. They also eat worm salt and play a game in which the winner wins a jug of crickets.

Batch 210: Michael Caine Brewing Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

Alex and Michael do another episode by themselves. The bits are debatably better than last week's. It's a shorter episode than usual which is cool. They talk about beer stuff and then they drink beer and talk about it. Michael has to write these show notes while Stephen is gone.

Batch 209: the 2022 Assies Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

The malty boyz are missing a boyz but the show must go on. Stephen is somewhere out in the world on a #wanderlust, so Alex and Michael are locking it down doing what they know best: so so bits and phoned in beer reviews. We will never change.

On this one we've got beers from Good Word, New Groove Brewing, and Monkish. We talk about Stone hopefully almost for the last time and we dust off the AB InBev vs Coors corn syrup controversy after a few years.
