Batch 188: Indiana: The Warm Beer State Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

Apparently, in Indiana there's an old dumb beer law that prohibits certain retailers from selling cold beer. Let's all hope they fix it with a slightly less stupid beer law. It's also a old dumb beer law triple header in the Beer News with New Jersey looking to designate open container areas and New York looking to allow alcohol sales in movie theaters. Alex shares a cripsy hometown hero from Iowa while Stephen presents a double feature.

Show notes

Can you buy a hip, gently used brewery with just photos of apes? At Bad Boiz Castle Incorporated LLC we say, "Yeah, bruh. Yeah."

In other Beer News, SweetWater's big weed overlords look to sell of what's left of Green Flash while Budweiser goes full Willy Wonka with their golden can contest. Alex brings in a saison from a brewery operating like it's 2005, Michael goes into homer mode, and Stephen goes pie-adjacent with a cobbler inspired beer.

Alex brings in what Evil Twin called their "best beer ever made" while Stephen continues his quest to make Malt Couture a pie podcast. Michael is let down by Drizly.

Batch 182: A Beersmas Carol 2: The Scorpion King Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

It's another Beersmas here in the Maltyverse and once again old Ebenezer Kidd is visited by the ghosts of Beersmas Past, Super Past, Present, and Future. And all he got was a scorpion to eat and digest. That's right, Alex eats a scorpion carcass this episode! Serves him right working Stephen and Michael to the bone the way he does. Alex should have eaten at least two or three more scorpions tbh frfr. Guess that makes him the scorpion king or whatever. Anyway, in the Beer News, Barefoot Wines collabs with Oreos and Side Project release levels of madness ensues and Miller Lite introduces Beernaments that the Malty Boyz™ will pay $1000 for.

Batch 181: Ur Bad Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

The Malty Boyz™ drop into the dive bars of South Dakota to the dive bars of Alabama and learn telling someone "Ur bad" is a flirtatious to tell someone they are good. In the Beer News, a stream in Hawaii registers a 1.2% ABV, Budweiser gets into the NFT game, and Miller High Life releases a gingerbread kit to build your own authentic dive bar. Miller High Life... ur bad. Michael gets put on a jury. Alex revisits an east coast remnant of The Great IBU Wars.

Batch 180: Just Drink Half Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

Alex's favorite magazine, Esquire, the official periodical of all lawyers, endorses the opinion that people should only drink half their beer then discard the rest. Does this endorsement hold any integrity? No. In other Beer News, aluminum tariffs threaten to destroy the Ball Corporation unless breweries start ordering no less than 1 million cans. In the Bottleshare, Alex brings in a hidden gem of a barleywine from Wax Wings Brewing Co. that caused a local scandal. Stephen is back on his shelf turd shit again.

Batch 179: Michael's Funniest Episode? Dec 02, 2021

Show notes

Alex speaks it into existence declaring this to be Michael's funniest episode. Does Michael deliver or does he make Alex look like a fool? How many knee-slapping punchlines will Michael deliver while drinking barleywine from Kros Strain? Will Michael bust out his best roast jokes when talking about the return of the Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beer? What zingers will Michael come up with when discussing Topo Chico releasing their hard seltzer in glass bottles? How hard will Michael burn Goose Island when The Malty Boyz™ drink 2013 Bourbon County Barleywine? What comedy will Michael mine out of revealing a deep rooted truth about Stephen's Bottleshare beer? Ladies and germs, don't forget to tip the veal and try the waiter!
