SIPS Episode – You need to get out a bit more and see the new stuff, like the varietals of Bordeaux that you don’t know about. Touriga Nacional, Marselan, Castets, Arinarnoa – and two white grapes, Alvarinho and Liliorila. A couple of these are even featured on this flight loaded with lots of good value buys. Even if you don’t like wine, Harmeet’s Pepe Le Pew accent reading the SIPS rating may win us another award. Or indicted. We taste and rate the following wine from 1-5:

13:52 Château la Mothe du Barry Cuvée Mon Loup 2015 – 2 SIPS

21:21 Château Francs Magnus 2014 – 3 SIPS

27:00 Château Tire Pe 2015 Diem – 3 SIPS

SUDS Episode – A blind beer flight with zero theme. This is what happens when we leave Dave unsupervised. We are so fortunate to have ready on the fly access to a beer cellar that we can do such a thing. A major debate on the quality of eggs related to being pasteurized. Is there such a thing as an heirloom chicken? Coming to a liquor store near to you in Alabama is non-alcoholic Gin. Finally there is alignment with a target demographic for a product. We taste and rate the following beer from 1-5:

5:39 Joie – mixed fermentation saison aged 1 year in sauternes casks. 7% ABV Westbrook Brewing Company Mt Pleasant, SC SUDS-4

14:01 Escoffier – American wild ale 9.25% ABV Brewery Vivant Grand Rapids, MI in collab with New Belgium Brewing Company Fort Collins, CO SUDS-4

18:45 Stout Rullquin- mixed fermentation 7/8 Rulles Brun (Stout de Gaume) and 1/8 of a blend of 1 year old lambics matured for 8 months in an oak barrel, then refermented for 6 months in a bottle. 7% ABV. Gueuzerie Tilquin- Rebecq, Wallonie Belgium in collab with Brasserie Artisanale de Rulles- Rulles, Wallonie Belgium SUDS-4

28:43 Moon Shed- spontaneous ale brewed with heirloom corn and aged in oak. 5.5% ABV Plan Bee Farm Brewery Poughkeepsie, NY SUDS-3

SIPS Episode – We’ll declare that this is one and only Sherry wine podcast you’ll ever hear. We’ll also declare that we manage to butcher the pronunciation of nearly every other Spanish word. Hang tough through the history and explaining this super confusing style of wine. It’s OK to feel the calling to rush to the store after listening to these tasting notes. We taste and rate the following wine from 1-5:

SUDS Episode – We know the burning question you have, what is the best cheap German pils? We know you like it in the can, German Style. Germany is the beer buckle of the world and has made lots of great beer for a long time. Lactose Lager, let’s just start protesting in advance of this horrible idea. We really don’t condone the use of child labor, often, except when it comes to cleaning the lager fermentation tanks. We taste and rate the following beer from 1-5:

11:04 Astra Urtyp- Pilsner 4.9% ABV Holsten-Brauerei AG Altona-Nord, Hamburg Germany SUDS-3

14:22 Benediktiner Hell – Helles Lager – 5% ABV Benediktiner Weissbräu Ettal, Bayern Germany SUDS-4
