Batch 132: Celebrity Rosé Tinted Glasses Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

2020 is over and the Malty Boyz™ are looking at 2021 through rosé tinted glasses. Why? Because it's fun! Knowing nothing about rosé the boyz turn to what they know best, Pop Culture, and drink rosés from Post Malone, Dwayne Wade, and, the couple formally known as Bradgelina, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They enlist the help of ESPN Senior NBA Writer Baxter Holmes, sommelier and Decanter contributor Matt Luczy, and former guest Charlie Fu of Wine Bezerkers to fill them in on what they're sippin' on. Put on your biggest, floppiest hat, pull up a patio seat, and get your rosé on!

Batch 131: Totally Eised Out Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

A batch a decade in the making featuring only eised beers. Multiple extinction ticks go down as Alex hunts down Hair of the Dog Dave directly from Alan Sprints, Samuel Adams Millenium, Southampton Double Ice Bock, and BrewDog Tactical Nuclear Penguin. The Malty Boyz™ close out the year in style with all these devastating beers for your listening pleasure. Will they ever recover? Will they continue to record on into 2021 or are these the final ticks of a grossly frantic podcast? Does Michael even care? Who knows? See you next year?

Batch 129: Shhhh, We're On A Secret Mission Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

The Malty Boyz™ can't really talk about it because they're on a secret mission but Alex brings in a redemption beer that's a collaboration between Perennial Artisan Ales and WeldWerks Brewing Co. Then the Boyz™ drink the most recent batch of Alpine Great and Stephen's triple IPA theory rings true, but don't tell anyone. Intel says Goose Island hid Easter Eggs on Black Friday. Keep your mouth shut about it, got it? Plus, an update on the Mac's Public House situation in Staten Island. But srsly, they can't really say anything else, they're on a secret mission and must leave now. Goodbye.
