SUDS Episode – We tackle a very vague beer category that is hitting the craft beer scene, session beer. We talk about what is a session beer, what clothing optional activities are most appropriate with session beer, and Sparky mentions motorboat at least 17 times. We had 10 beers in the entire double blind flight. We discussed and rated these Top 6 on this episode:

A Beer - Against the Grain

Summer Lager - Schlafly

Classique - Stillwater Artisinal

Heavy Melon - New Belgium

Mango Even Keel – Ballast Point

Emergency Drinking Beer- Wild Heaven

***

4 Foot Drop - Mantahala Brewing Company

SIPS Episode – We attempt to tackle a review of several products from Few Spirits and The Splinter Group. Somehow saying enema and Roll Tide took over the entire conversation. We lose track of time, math, and frankly what we are tasting.

We do manage to taste and review the following:

Few Spirits Bourbon SIPS -3

Few Spirits Rye SIPS - 4

Few Spirits Barrel Gin SIPS - 4

Splinter Group Slaughterhouse SIPS - 3

Splinter Group Straightedge SIPS – 3

I’m envious of the glitch

@Angels_Envy

Co hosts : Good ol Boy Mike, Good ol Boy Jason, Good ol Boy Greg, Mad Man Brent, Made Man Bob, and in spirit Good ol Gal Julieanna

SIPS Episode – This episode we pickup another distiller takeover covering Angel’s Envy. A product that is sourced by one of the best of the industry distiller’s Lincoln Henderson. We cover a broad range of these products of both off the shelf and barrel selections.

Cigar Bar Blend – 30%/30%/40%

The Whiskey Bar Blend – 60%/10%/30%

Bourbon Mafia Blend – 8%/66.5%/25.5%

Angels Envy Rye – 100 proof

Angels Envy Cask Strength 2013 – 123 proof

Angels Envy Cask Strength 2014 – 119.3 proof

Angels Envy Cask Strength 2015 – 127.9 proof

No, your audio equipment is not busted, we had a technical glitch recording Julieanna’s mic during this recording. What can I say, there was lots of whiskey involved. Your loss is also your gain. She had lots of great contributions and maybe we’ll get to repair this recording in the future, for now enjoy it.

To make up for this technical glitch, just catch Good ol Boy Mike at a bar, mention the words “I’m envious of your glitch” and a dram of Angel’s Envy is yours, free. He reserves the right to cut off this offer, but you should go for it.
