7
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.280
This is about to be good radio. Okay. To me, a craft

8
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.880
brewer is much more of a mindset. We just opened two cans, spread

9
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.200
the gospel of good beer. Tons
and tons of stuff going on in the

10
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.560
beer world. I love craft beer. I love different people's beer. It's

11
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.679
the first favorite. Cheers two old
US beer geeks and those new to the

12
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:53.159
craft. What's on Tap? High
five? This is What's on Tap Radio

13
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:59.320
beer and the culture that flows with
it. Piers Beer Guru, James Simpson

14
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:08.319
and your Logic's chat Pilbeam. So
just's doing a little funky today. Let's

15
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.519
do a thing. Would you forget
the shower or something? You've got a

16
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.280
bad case of athletes foot? What
kind of funk you talking? About sun

17
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.719
since this horn's going. Oh there
we go, all right, feel the

18
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:27.079
groove thing. How are we doing? I know everybody around the country is

19
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:34.480
really hot right now. That's why
this show's on for you to enjoy cold

20
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.120
beverage. Somebody to have a cold
beverage with. That's why Chat and I

21
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.439
are on the radio each and every
week for you, for you to have

22
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.640
a beer with. Because you know
you're thinking yourself. You talk, I

23
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.079
don't want to really check a beer
because I'm by myself and that makes me

24
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.760
feel weird. Bay here we are, welcome, Welcome to What's on Tap

25
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.920
Radio. You know, if you're
sitting at home and you're feeling weird about

26
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.040
having a beer by yourself, that's
that's a good that's a good check right

27
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.200
there. Like, hey, I'm
not really sure I'm supposed to do that.

28
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.799
That right there is your license to
go ahead and have a beer by

29
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.120
yourself because you know how to self
monitor. Now if you're sitting there like

30
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.800
I have no problem with it.
Fourteen beers deep right now, man,

31
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.879
I'm not even gonna listen to this
program. Okay, you there's an eight

32
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:23.360
hundred number for you that you need
a friend, call your mother. She

33
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.560
birthed you into this world and she
still cares. Oh, we got a

34
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.599
lot and we're feeling funky, all
right, What the heck man? We

35
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.639
just started the show going off the
rails. We haven't even opened any beer

36
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.120
yet. You know why, because
we haven't thanked all the wonderful people who

37
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.719
make it possible for us to bring
this program to the airwaves. The housekeeping

38
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.520
and that being let's think of sponsors, Catrick Brewing Company, Superior Past Control

39
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.280
Beer, a logic conference, and
events we know to take. Insurance Group,

40
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:58.360
excuse me, the Backyard Grill and
corseponsing our podcast cast, Brandy and

41
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.199
Cass. Brandy. Oh, it's
been a high week, buddy. We

42
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:09.199
had a we had a weird day
here in southwest Michigan last week I think

43
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:15.840
it was, and the temperature got
to sixty degrees that was the higher and

44
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.800
then went right back to high humidity
and sunshine, heat and everything. We

45
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.719
were back in the lake but for
one day. And it was a weekend

46
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.960
too, which sucked because you were
supposed to be in the water out on

47
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.639
the boat chilling sixty our cool fronts. It went from one hundred and six

48
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.280
two hundred and three. Oh wow, that's that's in the shape. But

49
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.280
that's okay. I am got my
cold beer. That's gonna keep me nice

50
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.479
and chilled. Let's crack open a
beer. This, by the way,

51
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.319
brought to the table sponsored by our
friends at the Backyard Grill on the northwest

52
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.599
side of Houston, where they have
forty eight taps and over one hundred different

53
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.639
beers, and James and I we've
attempted to consume every single one of them

54
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.680
this week, and these are two
of them. No, we've never done

55
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.560
that. We drink responsibly. We
do. We do drink responsibly. We

56
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.639
wouldn't been lasted ten years on the
radio by being irresponsible. But who's going

57
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.800
first? Chad On brought to the
table. You're gonna take the leader.

58
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.439
Yeah, I'm gonna. I'm gonna
go ahead. And this is a this

59
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.519
is a long distance dedication to our
friend Beerbow Oh nice, I like beerboh,

60
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.759
stop it down. That's right,
I gotta do this. You're gonna

61
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:24.680
do this, that's right, Beerbo, Beerbo Baggins. That's right. We

62
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.399
were worried about him. I got
a story about him coming up, and

63
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.079
I gotta I remind me. I
do have a quick update on rag Brye.

64
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.199
But during rag Brye, Beerbo came
from Houston up to Iowa to ride

65
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.079
and it was involved in a very
nasty crash, shattered his collar bone and

66
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.560
busted his head. And the very
next day after he gets out of the

67
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.959
hospital, there he is in the
parking lot of Confluence Brewing Company in Des

68
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.079
Moines. I pulled in the parking
lot and there he is. He's got

69
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.639
a beer in his hand, and
he's got his arm gonna sling with a

70
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.680
bunch of snacks in there. He's
eating gritos out of his arm sling.

71
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.839
And I just wanted to say,
hey, Beerbo, recover, heal well,

72
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.519
And in honor of you, I'm
opening up a confluenced beer. This

73
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:10.800
right here is a Swaheli IPA made
with rhinoceros horn. Oh wait, no,

74
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.680
sorry, I'm like this is a
Rye double ipa, named after a

75
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.959
rhinoceros that was born at the Blank
Park Zoo in Des Moines. There we

76
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.680
go, Oh sorry, fun facts, you know, facts, details on

77
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:30.480
the ingredients. Oh and this this
beer one rhinoceros horn free. But it

78
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.680
is an eight point one percent double
IPA made with Rye and I didn't get

79
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.920
a chance to try this while I
was at rag Brye. But yeah,

80
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.800
they fell in love with the rhinoceros
they donate. The brewery donated a keg

81
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.639
for the rhinos to play with,
and they just fell in love with it.

82
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.439
So they decided, Hey, let's
name this one. This is the

83
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:54.319
Anaya's rhino Rye double IPA. And
by the way, I've got a stunt

84
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.519
liver in here. Bill from Harbor
Light Brewing Company, he saw the light

85
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.279
on. And you know when when
you see when you when you work at

86
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.040
Harbor Light. By the way,
Bill got a promotion. I feel wait

87
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.000
to tell you, Bill got a
promotion. He was owner. He was

88
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.839
owner and brewer at Harbor Light Brewing
Company. Bill, I heard you got

89
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.480
a promotion this week. Tell everybody
what your new job is. Yeah,

90
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.319
my new job now is head brewer. That means he hired another brewer,

91
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:25.199
so now he's way to go go
all right, So I now have someone

92
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.639
assistant brewer, so which automatically promotes
me to headbrewer. Not that I earned

93
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:36.120
it, I just got it because
I have someone congraduations well deserved, thank

94
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.439
you anyway. So that's what we
cracked open a beautiful beer, white pillowy

95
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:46.560
head, very nice crisp bitterness and
and really clean finish. And I'm gonna

96
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.000
use the words right off the can. But it has a hefty biscuity here.

97
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:59.000
It is multi backbone. It's a
hefty biscuity backbone. So that's what

98
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:00.800
I brought to the table. Well, and I is Rhino ry double IPA

99
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.079
from Confluence Brewing Company de Moiniowa.
James, go, all right, so

100
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.600
this is a beer I'm bringing to
the table. I don't know a lot

101
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.319
of information. I try to do
some googling, and there's not a lot

102
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.160
info out there. But it's a
collab between No Label Brewing Company and Didn't

103
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.319
County Brewing. This is a Berlin
of vice. And this is called the

104
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:23.879
Long Time Coming, and I'm gonna
crack this and I like long Time Coming

105
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.000
is the name of the beer.
It's a Berlin avice, a collab between

106
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.800
No Label Brewing Company and Didn't County
Brewing Company here in Texas. And I'm

107
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.399
gonna go and pour a little bit
of that sour notes right now, let

108
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:41.040
me see the wig of this tart
wheat beer, German inspired, very tart.

109
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.600
I get some fruit notes on a
passion fruit. Maybe I'm gonna let

110
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.959
that breathe for a second, but
this has been brought to the table,

111
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.279
brought to you by our friends over
at the backyard. Girl Check kicked it

112
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:55.120
off with the I had the confluence. It's the Agianna's rhino, right,

113
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.439
I'm probably pronouncing that wrong, but
hey, it's one rhinoceros horn free and

114
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.800
it's a rye double I pa eight
point one percent beautiful beer. Nice job.

115
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:05.879
And then I brought the long time
coming Berlin of ice collab between no

116
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.120
Label Brewing Company and didn't kind of
brewing company. But coming up, I

117
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.480
will talk a little more about these
beers, but we gotta take a first

118
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.879
break on tap. This week,
we're gonna take a look at Coors Light,

119
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.800
mid or Light. There's sales and
what is the best beer city?

120
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.079
All this is so much more,
including than what's on tap with you A

121
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.639
fun fact of the week, which
is coming right up. If you're buying

122

So be a pal and put your
pants back on. What's on tap?

What's on tap? This is what's
on tap radio. Hey, you know

125
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.960
it doesn't matter what kind of beer
you drink. Do you like an ice

126
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.799
cold? Do you like it's served
cellar temperature? Do you like it served

127
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.480
in a fancy glass or just drinking
it from a long neck model. It

128
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:54.440
doesn't matter because everybody who drinks beer
loves great food and you're gonna find both

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.799
You head out there to No Label
and you meet Doctor Love and you

151
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.840
know, I mean, he's the
man got the Rush soundtrack going, he

152
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.279
does I know the Rush playlist?
Excuse me, but yeah, Long Time

153
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.279
Coming is the name of the beer
and nails a collab. And so what

154
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.559
I try to do a normal do
when I can't really find a lot of

155
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.120
information as I go to the untapped
app and either a lot of people haven't

156
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.759
had this beer or just a lot
of people haven't checked the beer in,

157
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.000
because according to untapped, there's only
been four people that have checked this beer

158
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:16.200
in. And that's all I got. There's really not a lot of people

159
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.679
writing notes about it. Remember back
in the day when people would go to

160
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.000
the untapped app check a beer in
and then write some notes. So I

161
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:28.399
get some tartan flavors, maybe some
passion fruits. People don't really do that

162
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.440
anymore. They'll just know, they'll
go in there, they'll check it in,

163
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.799
maybe take a picture of it where
they're drinking it, and that's really

164
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.840
all about it. It's that's it. That's all we get. But it's

165
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.159
a sour Berlin of vice. But
I do get some passion fruit on there,

166
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.639
or some kind of tropical fruits,
whether it's a mango, but there

167
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.120
is some tropicalness to it. It's
very nice. I just don't really know

168
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.440
a lot about it. It's six
percent alcohol by volume. Two breweries got

169
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.320
together and they said, hey,
you want to do a thing, Yeah,

170
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.000
let's do it. All right,
you want to make let's make one

171
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.919
of these. All right, I'm
really good care about style guidelines? Nope,

172
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.679
all right, this was gonna come
in at six point one. Sounds

173
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.840
good? How we do? Damn
good? All right, let's put it

174
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.679
in a can and put a label
on it. Let's let's make sure those

175
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.200
boys over what's on tap radio talk
about it. And there it is,

176
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.080
boom, a dent thing going on. Ye and uh me, I know

177
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.879
we're just trying to save the rhinos. I mean, this is the Eastern

178
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.039
black rhinoceros and this beer named ana
Anyah Rhino Rye. By the way,

179
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:37.679
any however you pronounce it means beautiful
flower in Swahili, by the way,

180
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.200
fact check me. I dare you. By the way, good luck spelling

181
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.240
then, because I don't know how
to pronounce it, but somebody will look

182
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.600
it up. But that's what I
brought the rye double IPA stunt liver bill

183
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.639
in studio from Harvard Light Brewing Company
helping me out. So we're gonna be

184
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:56.159
able to tackle a few more beers
on this episode. But this particular beer,

185
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.919
we both discussed it during the break, A little bit of residual suite,

186
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:07.879
but really clean fermentation, great balance
between malt, sweetness and bitterness.

187
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.759
We uh, we're fans, We're
like like it. Yeah, good yep,

188
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.679
Yep. This this when we keep
in the fridge if we were ever

189
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:20.240
back in Des Moines Confluence Brewing Company. Nice job. By the way,

190
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.799
again, that was a long distance
dedication to our friends Bierbo real quick.

191
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.919
I know we're gonna get to the
official What's on Tape radio fun Factor week.

192
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.840
But Beerbo I ran into him over
at the Texas Craft Brewers Guild roundup.

193
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.360
He was there on the first night
Friday. This was a week before

194
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.240
he was heading out to rag Brye
and he was volunteering. He was pouring

195
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.799
beers and I got to chatting with
him and he was very excited about going

196
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.759
to rag Brye. He has never
been before, so he was all happy

197
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.120
about it. And you know,
unfortunately the news how he got injured.

198
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.440
But hey, hopefully as this fast
recovery and he can go back out there

199
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.639
and maybe next year the show.
He has a good friend of the show

200
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.879
a long time for Navars and I've
got to chat with him and as he

201
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.080
was pouring beers, I was like, a beer bow, what do you

202
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:05.960
what are you poring over there?
And he was like, oh, I'm

203
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:15.639
pouring Live Oaks. October Fest in
July. In July This was like July

204
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.080
twenty something, and he's like,
would you like some? And I'm like,

205
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.080
what's the date on that beer bow? And he looked at it.

206
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:26.720
Oh, it's canned a week ago. Hm. Way, that's some fresh

207
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.080
beer. And he asked me if
I wanted a little bit of it,

208
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.960
and I said no. Well,
and I'll tell you why. I say,

209
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.519
oh, I know, why,
tell everybody why, James, Guys,

210
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.679
listen to this bill. I love
october Fest beers so much. Martson's

211
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.679
are like one of my favorite beer
styles. But I discipline myself and I

212
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:50.000
wait until Labor Day weekend so I
can say goodbye to the summer pills neers

213
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.919
that are still on the shelf.
We should still be enjoying. And so

214
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.559
when Labor Day comes around, I'll
say bye, summer Pills, see you

215
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.879
next year. And then I'll go
to the margins and I'll started drinking the

216
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.480
october Fest up until well I run
out of it, which is usually about

217
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.559
December thirty, first January. First, Yes, you are that right,

218
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.240
You are that right. I drink
those in November and December, and you're

219
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.240
absolutely correct. Oh wow, look
at that dude, he's just throwing You

220
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.519
don't need to suck up. We
already gave you the third mic for the

221
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.960
week. All right, I'll listen. So speaking of ragby real quick,

222
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.399
I have to talk about this and
it's gonna time really nicely with our fun

223
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.960
factor the week. Oh yeah.
So there was a team that gave me

224
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.039
a wrist band and they said,
hey, hey, hey, we're gonna

225
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.159
make you part of the team,
but you gotta mention us on the show.

226
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:43.080
Is it Team Swifty? No,
no, it's Team Busted and and

227
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:48.440
it's buss bus Ted. So it's
bust Ted. And I said, explain

228
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.039
to me, Team Busted. And
first thing it is they said, well,

229
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.759
you gotta take our picture. So
I took a picture. No joke,

230
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.120
I'm not gonna say who. I'm
not gonna say, but uh,

231
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.120
they said, they lined up for
the photograph Team Busted, and I get

232
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.919
the camera up, I get the
phone up and half the team turns around.

233
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.679
Stay go the shorts right there.
I'm like, wow, Wow,

234
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.320
whoa, whoa, what just happened
these kids around? Now there weren't any

235
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.080
kids around. And then I took
the picture and they said, now that

236
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.919
you've seen that, you have to
drink with us. And I went Okay,

237
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.120
So now I got invited onto the
team bus and there's Ted and I'm

238
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:23.720
looking at Wait, who's this?
That's Ted? Oh wait, we're on

239
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:29.960
the bus with Ted, and Ted
offers me a free beer. And Ted

240
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.559
is like seventy something years old.
And one of these ladies rips his shirt

241
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.639
open and says, this is the
man. And I was like, big

242
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.360
party bus here, so that they
gave me free beer and that ties into

243
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.000
this week's official What's on Tap Radio
Fun? Fat? Does Ted know us?

244
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:51.120
He does? Now? Now the
official What's on Tap Radio Fun fact

245
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.120
of the week, brought to you
by Who's ever checked? Clear? This

246
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.799
week? Right, Professor Pilbeam take
it away? Well, free beers.

247
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.200
A lot of people say that's the
best beer. A lot people say,

248
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.480
you know, what is the best
beer? Free beer or the beer in

249
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:06.680
my hand or a cold beer,
or you know, whatever comes in a

250
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.279
bottle, can or keg. You
know, that's kind of my answer.

251
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.839
But free beer on rag Brie is
always fun. So I want to think

252
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:17.559
Team Busted and they're a party group. That was a lot of fun.

253
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.200
But what if you don't get free
beer? That means you have to either

254
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.240
steal it and then you end up
being the subject of our whole my beer

255
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.920
and watch this not steal it.
Yeah, don't do that, or you

256
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.039
have to have beer money. Now. I wanted to do a little research

257
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.119
into the freeze beer money. I
thought, surely there's an origin of this.

258
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.119
Now. Some people know beer money
as the beer the money that you

259
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:45.200
use to spend on beer. Beer
money is also a card game. Some

260
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:51.599
people reference beer money as Mom gives
the kids lunch money and Dad cakes all

261
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.799
the money that's left over and uses
that to buy beer. These are popular

262
00:17:55.240 --> 00:18:00.559
urban legends behind it, but the
real urban dick Sary refers to beer money

263
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.160
as money left over that is not
enough to pay the rest of your bills

264
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.359
for the month, so screw it, go out and get drunk. So

265
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.519
that's really what it is. It's
like I can't pay all my bills,

266
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.240
so might as well go out and
have a beer. However, the origin

267
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:22.160
of the phrase beer money goes all
the way back to the year eighteen hundred

268
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:27.720
with Prince Frederick, Duke of York, who was serving or King George the

269
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:33.519
Third's military, and he did not
believe that his troops should have to suffer

270
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:38.680
through war the way that he suffered
when he was just a grunt out there

271
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.599
in the late seventeen hundreds. So
when he was in charge in the eighteen

272
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.759
hundreds over King George the Third's army, you know what that man did.

273
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:52.039
He made sure that all his troops
had beer money, which was the equivalent

274
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.920
of one pence per day, which
men were allowed to use to buy beer.

275
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.400
So the origin of the phrase beer
money comes from the year eighteen hundred,

276
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.079
when Prince Frederick, Duke of York
coined the phrase saying, my troops

277
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:08.400
shall have beer. So that is
your official what's on tap Radio fun fact

278
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:11.079
of the week Here. I thought
my wife was like, here, here's

279
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.079
some beer money, go have fun. People referred to beer moneys alt.

280
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.440
I like the one though. It's
like, all right, I paid all

281
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.880
my bills and I've got two more
bills to pay. Not enough, but

282
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.920
I got enough to go out to
the bar and get hammered. Yep,

283
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.400
we're going let's get outlown off.
All right, good fun fact, Chad,

284
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.440
all right, we gotta take a
break. So to come, where

285
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.319
is the best beer city. I'm
gonna get to the bottom of it.

286
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:34.359
This is what's on tap radio.
Hang with this we'll be right back.

287
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.720
The taps are open, and so
is your fly. Oh the only little

288
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.880
stubbies we want to see have beer
in them. Zip up and buckle up

289
00:19:45.160 --> 00:20:06.759
for more of What's on Tap Radio. A lot on tap this week,

290
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.079
got our beers in us and I
was over hearing Chad talked to Bill during

291
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:17.039
the break and he was saying that
apparently they need another beer or they're on

292
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:21.240
we do It's it's really kind of
stupid, yea. Whenever you have a

293
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.279
stuff beer liver, it's like,
well, I'm may bearers. We're gonna

294
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:27.079
get to do this week. Oh
we are in luck, ladies and gentlemen.

295
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:33.279
Because Bill showed up and when he
whenever he walked into the studio,

296
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.519
I took one look and I was
like, oh, this is not gonna

297
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.759
be good because he didn't have anything
in his hand. And you know what

298
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.440
that means if you come empty handed, you sit on the floor. There

299
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:49.079
a Bill, Yeah, but he
dropped off his beer at the Beer Logic

300
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:59.039
World headquarters and drinking emporium refrigerator.
And now we're cracking open from neighboring brewery

301
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:07.160
about halfway between Tantrick and downtown Allegan
and Harbor Light located out in South Haven.

302
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.960
This is from way Post Brewery,
Fenville, Michigan. This is their

303
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.319
field beer. Now you don't get
we don't get a lot of field beers

304
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:21.319
on the show. Okay, not
really with that style, but I know

305
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:22.839
we're not. And that's the thing
is is, if you think about it,

306
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.119
we we go to the Great American
Beer Festival every once in a while.

307
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:27.759
By the way, if anybody wants
to sponsor that trip, reach out

308
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.880
to us on our social media at
What's on Tap Radio or send us an

309
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.440
email What's on Tap Radio at gmail
dot com. We will let you know

310
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:38.640
what the terms of that sponsorship are, and they are very generous. Just

311
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.920
so you know the word very,
very very very you will like these terms.

312
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:49.599
But field beers or any beers incorporating
vegetable as a flavor or carbohydrate and

313
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:55.359
any other type of adjunct in a
secondary mash. So it's a it's a

314
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.799
rustic farmhouse style beer basically what it
is. This particular one Bill says does

315
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.319
not have any hops in it.
It's it's a cheerful wheat beer ascented with

316
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.039
lemon, grass and some other ingredients. I don't know how to pronounce and

317
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:15.279
ginger. It's like chamoma might chama
might shamo meal. Yeah, that's what

318
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.839
I said. Yeah, if I
put my glasses in, I realized that

319
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:22.039
that l was a t all right, the other way around, or the

320
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.480
tea was an ell. There he
goes shama meal, and I'm not I'm

321
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:27.039
not big on shama meal. You
know, my daughter has a garden.

322
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.640
She asked me, Dad, you
want me to try hops? I said

323
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.200
no, but she never once offered
to do shama meal. I don't know

324
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:38.119
why, all right, But anyway, this is a very multi Let's take

325
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:45.480
a sip here and that that tastes
like lemon grass and no hops. That

326
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:53.160
is rustic, earthy. It it
well made beer, but I'm not loving

327
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.200
it. It's not my style.
You know, it's one note. It's

328
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.000
really kind of one note. You're
not expected to like have no. I

329
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.200
mean, I love the brewery and
I've been to the brewery plenty of times

330
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.319
and they make tons of great beer. But field beer it's it's kind of

331
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:14.480
like grut where there's no hops and
they use different herbs and spices to balance

332
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.519
out the malt. This is just
a very rustic beer. There's nothing wrong

333
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.319
with it. It's just not to
my liking. If you hate hops,

334
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.440
you're gonna probably love this beer.
Interesting. All right, well beer from

335
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.359
way post Brie's. Let's talk about
gotta get into bud Light. We haven't

336
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:33.960
talked about bud Light in a while. I cried to avoid it. Yeah,

337
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.920
you know, it's kind of like
beating a dead horse, but there

338
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.599
are news that comes out and so
we got to report it's and this one

339
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.599
is it's good news for bud Light. So this one is. But this

340
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.480
one when we talked about this in
when we talked about this in the production

341
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:55.200
meeting, I said, this is
how fickle people can be, even celebrities.

342
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.519
So it's been about four months since
this whole bud Light debacle came out.

343
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.000
But maybe the bud Life freeze is
finally starting the thaw. Because remember

344
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.319
Kid Rock went viral back in April
when he shot up some cases of bud

345
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.759
Light. Because they've collaborated with that
trans influencer on social media. Well Sewing

346
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.400
on Twitter thought it'd be funny to
sneak in some bud Light into the Kid

347
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:19.960
Rocks honky Tonk Bar in Nashville.
But when he went in there, he

348
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:26.319
was surprised to see several Anheuser Busch
beers on the menu, including by Lights.

349
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:32.079
What what? And it's not a
secret, It's actually on the menu

350
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.400
on the website kid Rock has.
It's not like one of those secret menus

351
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.000
where you gotta know that you gotta
know the secret pass, like going to

352
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.319
in and Out Burger and you order
some animal style. Now, there's no

353
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.880
secrets about this. This is actually
on their menu. But kid Rock hasn't

354
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.400
commented, but others are pointing out
that bud Light is also back on top

355
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:52.440
of John Rich's Nashville bar, The
Redneck Riviera, which we reported on the

356
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.839
show that he was going to discontinue
selling any Anheuser Busch products, but John

357
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.200
previously said that he would let his
patrons to side if he would keep it

358
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.160
and sales plumbing it back in April, so he removed it, but apparently

359
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:10.319
the man is back up because it's
now available. So it's very unlikely that

360
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.079
either of these guys have had a
change of heart. But they're also not

361
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.680
going to let a good chaos hurt
them in the wallets and John said,

362
00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:19.799
at the end of the day,
this is capitalism. I just find it

363
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:25.279
funny how fickle people are. I
mean, he was so at I mean

364
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.920
he acted like a pendulent child.
Just mean, but no, no,

365
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.000
no, I'm shoot it all up
and I'm like, okay, I mean

366
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.559
that's how you feel. But I
mean, you know, it's kind of

367
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.720
like it's kind of like saying it's
the old saying it's not an airport.

368
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.880
You don't have to announce your departure. I mean, you can just leave,

369
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.880
you can just stop doing it.
And but he wanted all the likes,

370
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.200
and then he wanted all the buzz
and they got it. And then

371
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.200
now that he's allowed but Light back
into his bar, he kind of looks

372
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.160
like, you know, old Harvey
two faced there, because he's actually put

373
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:06.119
himself in the same situation that bud
Light put themselves in. It's we're gonna

374
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:11.039
do this, oh wait, maybe
we're not. Okay, now which side

375
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.920
of the fence you're gonna hop on? Because you pissed off everybody who was

376
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.839
conservative in Nascar, and then you
came in your backtrack, and then you

377
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.240
pissed off everybody in the LGBTQ.
Plus now you're standing in the middle and

378
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.680
you're like, dah, you don't
know rather just what You're gonna scratch your

379
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.880
watch or wind your ass and nobody
knows what's gonna happen. Now, kid

380
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.720
rocks like, we're gonna I hate
you, but I'll sell your stuff at

381
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.759
my bar. Now, people are
gonna go which side of the fence you're

382
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.559
gonna hop on there? Buddy?
Do you think that he was a depression

383
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.359
that no one would even find out? He's like, yeah, what are

384
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:48.000
the odds or someone's actually gonna see
this? Well, you know he did

385
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.720
run for office once here in Michiganary
threatened to and I want to say,

386
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:55.720
you know, he would have made
a fine politician, flip flopping like that.

387
00:26:55.839 --> 00:27:00.039
So speaking of politicians, you can
have politics. Let's get into some

388
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:04.000
politics. Yeah, and rhinos no
less because we had a rhino beer to

389
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:10.440
kick off the show. Rhino Rhinos
acronym Republican in name only, And some

390
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:15.200
people might say that about this particular
individual when Ron DeSantis. Now, I'm

391
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.240
just gonna put we are reporting here, this is the news. These are

392
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:23.039
the facts. I am not making
this up. First of all, I

393
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:29.640
am going to insert a little editorial
though, and that is he has threatened

394
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:34.200
to sue on behalf of the State
of Florida Anheuser Busch for investing in Dylan

395
00:27:34.279 --> 00:27:41.599
mulvaney with bud Light because the stock
of Anheuser Busch dropped fourteen percent, and

396
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:48.039
in the Florida pension fund for their
employees, they had fifty million dollars worth

397
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.000
of anheuser Busch stock, and so
for it to drop fourteen percent, they've

398
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.079
lost roughly five point two million dollars
in value in that pension fund. And

399
00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.240
they say that was the direct result
of them in investing in Dilan mulvaaney.

400
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:07.359
So he's thinking of a class action
lawsuit on behalf of Florida. Except the

401
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:15.799
entire pension fund is worth one hundred
and eighty billion dollars and in the year

402
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:22.000
twenty twenty two, that pension fund
dropped six point three percent on its own

403
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.920
without the help of bud Light,
which six point three percent of one hundred

404
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.039
and eighty billion. I didn't do
the math on that. It's a lot

405
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.079
more than fourteen percent of five point
two billion, But just so you know,

406
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:38.559
five point two million dollar loss represents
point zero three seven percent loss of

407
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:42.920
the total pension fund, less than
half of a percent. Ladies and gentlemen,

408
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:47.839
one tenth of a per cent.
This guy is going on a witch

409
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.839
hunt for clicks and likes, but
the thing is it's not working. Ronda

410
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:57.200
Santis, who is now announced that
he is running for president, went out

411
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.599
to the Great State. It's always
a great state. Nobody ever says the

412
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.960
mediocre state of New Hampshire. No, the flyover state of New No,

413
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.599
it's the great State of New Hampshire. And he went up there to campaign.

414
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:11.359
We're gonna rally the troops and we're
gonna drink beer and it will not

415
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.480
be bud light. And if you
want to spend fifty dollars and come have

416
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.440
a beer with me, Ron de
Santis, we're gonna have a huge turnout.

417
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:19.079
We're gonna take America back. Only
we're not gonna do it with Donald

418
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.319
Trump. We're gonna do it with
the Ron de Santis way. And he

419
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.079
showed up in Concord and they were
like, Uh, yeah, we haven't

420
00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.680
sold a lot of tickets. All
right, fine, we won't sell them

421
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:32.119
for fifty bucks. Let's make it
a dollar. Drop the price of beer

422
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:33.400
for a dollar. You want to
have a beer with Ron De Santis for

423
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:38.480
a buck? Well, people showed
up all thirty of them. Yes,

424
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:45.319
ladies and gentlemen. Ron de Santis
flew from Florida to New Hampshire to rally

425
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.960
the troops around beer and taking the
country back, and ladies and gentlemen.

426
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.480
When he was selling beer for a
dollar, he found thirty people to show

427
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.119
up at his rally. I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. I'm just reporting

428
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.799
the facts. And I do believe
he is attacking bud Light as a part

429
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.839
of a witch hunt. But I
find it hilarious that he couldn't find more

430
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.279
than thirty people that wanted to have
a beer with him in New Hampshire.

431
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.559
I like the fact that it says
despite the incident, the Santas team insisted

432
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:14.680
they're not struggling to connect with the
voters. Maybe it was just a raining

433
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:18.799
outside and people just didn't want to
get out and drive. It was a

434
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.079
dollar of beer, dude, it's
kind of cold. I didn't want to

435
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.559
get outside. You know, I'm
not And this is not a political stance.

436
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.880
It's just stating the facts. So
there you go. There's our political

437
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:36.359
commentary, not relay, more,
just reporting the facts. Speaking of stocks.

438
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:38.799
While we're talking about it, we're
gonna take a break, but when

439
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.680
we come back, let's take a
look at Coors Light and Miller Lights stocks.

440
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.160
But spent a minute. Since we've
checked that out, all this is

441
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:47.960
so much more what's on Taprio,
hang with us. We'll be right back.

442
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.519
When someone says, hold my beard, you know a trip to the

443
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:57.839
er is in your future. So
hold your own beer, buddy, and

444
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:18.160
just listen to more of what's on
tap? What's on tamp radio, dance

445
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:26.559
gift teaching how to I am not
a big country music fan, and I

446
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:32.440
will be. I'll be honest.
I did not know who Chris Lane was

447
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:38.519
before the story came out, but
apparently it's very popular. And Chris Lane,

448
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.640
well, he was saved by a
cup of beer. Chad, We

449
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.759
was saved by a cup of beer. How about that for a headline?

450
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:56.680
Chris Lane. Chris Lane was saved
by a cup of beer. I'm always

451
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.240
slightly exaggerating, but here's the story, all right. He's enjoying a beverage

452
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:06.000
while performing recently in Michigan. I
should exactly where it was Alligan, I

453
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.279
don't know, but when he tripped
over them, when he tripped over a

454
00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:15.319
monitor and landed chin first into his
red solo cup full of beer and the

455
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:20.799
cup prevented Chris's chin from hitting the
stage floor. Dude, this is like,

456
00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:22.640
this is like one of those water
barrels on the side of the highway

457
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.359
right in front of a concrete barrier. You car drifts off and boosh,

458
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.960
you hit all the water barrels.
That's the water. That's the chin,

459
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:36.799
water barrel of red solo cup.
So yes, there was beer everywhere,

460
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:40.599
which is also sad, but more
importantly, he was okay. But he

461
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.400
even joked about it. He posted
a video online and it starts at real

462
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:46.119
time view of the fall and then
it switches to a slow mode where you

463
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:51.559
can actually really see him wearing the
beer, and it captioned it Michigan.

464
00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:55.880
I was followed for you, thanks
for the good times. Oh wow,

465
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.759
somebody in the marketing department worked hard
on that one. That's right. So

466
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.440
Chris Lane fell into a cup of
beer while performing in Michigan and that cup

467
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:15.480
of beer saved his life. Like
that saved his life business as we've actually

468
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:19.160
we've had multiple stories over the years. By the way, I'm just gonna

469
00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.240
mention it. I know, James, we said we were gonna mention it

470
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:27.039
here ten years on the air.
We hit that benchmark. We hit it.

471
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.279
I wasn't I know you said not
to bring it up. I'm bringing

472
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:34.079
it up. Okay, So you
started this my wife? It was my

473
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.160
wife. My wife is actually the
person who posted on social and I was

474
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.720
like, wait, what she's congratulations
on ten years of radio broadcasts, and

475
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:45.960
like, what is she talking about? Apparently she shared the post of the

476
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:50.279
first show of back in August of
twenty thirteen. Hey check out my husband's

477
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.960
new show, What's on Tap?
It's coming up, and she shared it

478
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:55.880
saying congratulations, and I thought to
myself, Wow, has it been ten

479
00:33:55.960 --> 00:33:59.720
years. I knew that we was
coming up. We were in our tenth

480
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:01.200
year. This was we were entered
to the year. But I knew the

481
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:06.960
actual anniversary itself was coming up,
but I had no idea when it was.

482
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.159
And yeah, it was last week. So congratulations Chad. Ten years.

483
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:14.400
Yeah for the last bear for your
ear. What's on Tap Radio?

484
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:16.760
Yeah, Like the last six months
we kept saying we're nine and a half,

485
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:21.760
I'm nine to three quarters, Like
we're almost there, man, And

486
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.679
now a decade of doing this and
I can't say thank you enough for bringing

487
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:31.079
me on board and for starting this
Yeah, this has been it's been a

488
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.159
fun ride. I couldn't imagine making
it to ten years, but here we

489
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.320
are. And I got a really
nice listening to email that I hope to

490
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.480
get to this week. If we
don't get to this week, but maybe

491
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:45.039
next week. Really nice listener to
email about you know, the decade of

492
00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:49.599
us doing radio. But yeah,
it's been a fun ride. We've met

493
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:53.400
some great people along the way,
great interviews, Miles traveled, Beer's drink.

494
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:55.880
I mean, here we are hanging
out with Bill, you know,

495
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:00.719
yeah, last week, and we're
gonna and the thing is is in honor

496
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:04.840
of the ten years, by the
way, because I have a stunt liver

497
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.199
in studio, we're able to drink
more beers and drink a little bit faster

498
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:12.360
because Bill's drinking the majority of it. And you know, I'm I'm riding

499
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.000
the show, you know here,
but I get to I get to sample

500
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.840
all these So we have a stunt
liver and in honor of ten years and

501
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:23.760
your favorite beer style and pointing out
Bill's absolute hypocrisy. But the man who

502
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:29.079
said, James, you're absolutely right, you don't drink october Fest beers before

503
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:34.480
Labor Day, Well thanks, thanks, for october Fest beer from atwater Bach

504
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.760
Brewery. Right here, we got
an october Fest beer that he brought to

505
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:43.119
today's show after telling you that you
are absolutely right you do not drink october

506
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:46.639
Fest beers before Labor Day. Well
thanks Bill, Yo, day gum hypocrite.

507
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:52.559
Listen, there's no limit to his
hypocrisy. I'm throwing him under the

508
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:58.559
bus here. I have to three
october Fest. I'm assuming it is.

509
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.119
Is this is this fresh? This
is last year's. I believe this last

510
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.719
year? Oh? Okay? Is
there a date on the can? Well,

511
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.519
we're gonna find out here because I'm
pouring it here in the can's upside

512
00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:13.159
down, and there is a date
on the can. And I gotta put

513
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:19.480
on my glasses. Hold on,
I can't read. You have to shut

514
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:21.599
up, man, Let me,
let me, let me just look here.

515
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:28.119
Hold on, it says February twenty
second. Oh best before date,

516
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:31.480
February twenty two, twenty twenty three. So this is last year's. So

517
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:35.199
so Bill brought Okay, So this
is what happened when Bill got here.

518
00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:37.480
He reached into the crisper drawer and
drank it out of date all day.

519
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:42.360
I pa. Now he's serving up
out of date october Fest. But let's

520
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:46.079
see how it held up. Okay, yeah, october Fest loggers usually age

521
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:52.719
better as they get older, as
opposed to all da, this stands up.

522
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:58.840
Okay, this is all right,
it's not oxidized. It's it's I

523
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:00.800
have an october Fest at my cooler
over here from last year. I haven't

524
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:05.239
cracked it though, But I'm not
cracking this got a little bit of a

525
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.679
kind of a wang to a little
little metalliccky to me, maybe just a

526
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:09.760
little bit. Maybe that's because of
what I just came off of, which

527
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:15.440
had zero hops and this. So
but we're gonna let it breathe a little

528
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:21.519
bit. But meanwhile, James,
again, that's we're drinking an out of

529
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:27.320
date Octoberfest to celebrate ten years.
Oops. Oh well, it's still pretty

530
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:31.400
good. I still stick to my
morals. You know that's got a multi

531
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:36.719
back phone. No shut up.
Oh oh, I gotta kill his mic

532
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:38.280
now, all right, here we
go, late, we got we gotta

533
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:43.280
picked up this conversation where we left
off. We were talking about bud lights.

534
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:47.360
Yes, this is a weird conversation
to have, but for for most

535
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.599
people, they're like, please tell
me, you're not gonna talk stock prices

536
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.360
and financials again. We are because
now listen, don't hang up yet,

537
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.519
that'll change the channel. Don't don't
hit skip. Just wait. This is

538
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.079
important right here. We're not gonna
get it in the minutia of it in

539
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.199
the fine print, but this is
kind of important. There is a huge

540
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.559
shift in purchasing and buying power because
we've talked about the demise and the downfall

541
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.440
of bud Light for so long.
We've talked about how Cores Light and Miller

542
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:21.760
Light have benefited. This is gonna
sound weird, but Molson Corps reported an

543
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:24.559
eleven point eight percent surge in net
sales over the second quarter and a five

544
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:29.440
percent jump in financial volumes. This
is huge. A five percent jump for

545
00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:32.159
a company that size is millions and
millions and millions of dollars. I mean,

546
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.119
we're talking big money here. Lots
of people have shifted their purchasing habits.

547
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:43.239
But though it's a way of reflecting
that, we look at market share

548
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.480
and market sales, and bud Light
was the number one best selling beer in

549
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:51.239
the United States for so long.
I mean, they just topped everybody,

550
00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:53.039
and they just they were so far
ahead. And then Madelo was right behind

551
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:58.440
them, and then after Medelo and
Medello has made a huge surge in the

552
00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:01.880
lake the last five years. It's
just blown up. And they were slowly

553
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:06.880
catching bud Light, but slowly,
and bud Light was way ahead. Meanli,

554
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.000
there's nobody else in the race.
Nobody was even close. However,

555
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:17.239
Cores Light and Miller Light combined now
exceed the sales volume of bud Light.

556
00:39:17.480 --> 00:39:22.559
So that right there that you might
be thinking, okay, but that's two

557
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:27.519
against one. That's one okay,
Yeah, right, Well, here's the

558
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:31.639
thing. Both brands are owned by
Mulson Cores and the CEO Gavin hat.

559
00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:36.719
Yeah, that's how you pronounced his
name. He said. The earnings of

560
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:40.199
Cores Light and Miller Light are now
fifty percent bigger than bud Light for the

561
00:39:40.199 --> 00:39:47.719
total industry dollars, and Mulson Cores
shares are up thirty percent year to date

562
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.880
thirty percent. And that's not a
cheap stock. So for it to go

563
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:57.360
up thirty percent, we are talking. I mean, these are huge market

564
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.079
shifts. This isn't like, oh, yeah, we add another fer mentor

565
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:04.920
No. This isn't like, oh, we put out a few more six

566
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:09.480
packs this week. No, we're
talking major, major buying shifts in the

567
00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:15.880
market, and the winners in this
Mulson Corps and the shareholders of Mulson Corps.

568
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:21.559
Because now Miller Light and Corps Light
combined exceed the sales of bud Light

569
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:27.000
for the first time ever. I
mean that's it's it's huge, two against

570
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.199
one. I don't know. Let's
look at can we look at Miller Light

571
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:31.079
versus bud Light? Oh well,
we already know they're they're less, but

572
00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:35.679
I mean they were never combined.
They were nowhere close before. It was

573
00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:39.679
nowhere close. But when your sales
volume go up by what did we say,

574
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:46.239
eleven point eight percent and the bud
Lights drops fourteen point eight percent?

575
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:50.039
Actually no, I take that back, butt Lights down thirty three percent.

576
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:52.119
That's what you get. That's a
weird thing to celebrate. I'm just as

577
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:55.519
my humble opinion. All right,
that's our number one of what's on tap

578
00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:00.159
radio coming up next hour? Where
is the best beer City? And I

579
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.159
hear we got an interview coming up. All this is so much more.

580
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.880
It's what's on tap Rador. Hang
with this, We'll be right back spilling

581
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:10.679
a beer. Oh no, the
adult equivalent of letting go of a balloon.

582
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:16.119
So like that last little bit of
hair remaining on your head, hold

583
00:41:16.199 --> 00:41:23.400
on tight to more of what's on
tap radio? Father of mine? Teller,

584
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:29.000
where have you been? You know
what just closed my eyes? My

585
00:41:29.079 --> 00:41:34.599
world? This upire, father of
mine. I can't believe I'm giving in.

586
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:40.280
It's peer pressure. Yeah when I
was still yeah you are, looks

587
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.679
what's on tap radio? Sorry,
I'm trying to google something real quick because

588
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.800
I'm giving in peer pressure. You
know those after school specials that used to

589
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:53.920
watch when you were in grade school, and they're like just to say no,

590
00:41:54.480 --> 00:41:58.039
well, hold on, do we
have a whole generation that listens to

591
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:01.400
this program that doesn't with the after
school It was the ABC After School Special

592
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:07.400
and it came on usually about three
o'clock Eastern time, and you come home

593
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:12.000
from school and it would be on
and it was always some life lesson about

594
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.000
you know, whether you were a
latch key kid or getting bullied or say

595
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:20.159
no to drugs, or cheating on
a test or all these other things.

596
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:27.119
And well, we just bullied James, and I blame Bill for this.

597
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:31.599
So there was studio real quick one
more time. Bill's Bill Harbor Light Brewing

598
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:36.639
Company, Stunt Beer, Liver at
the Beer Logic World headquarters and drinking emporium,

599
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.119
and he brought in october Fest beer
after telling James, you don't drink

600
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:44.840
october Fest beer until after Labor Day
and totally agreeing with him. Here here,

601
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:46.320
I am going, you know what, I have an october Fest from

602
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:50.880
last year. I'm gonna wait to
crack because I don't like to drink october

603
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:53.000
Fest beers until after Labor Day,
because I like to wait. You know,

604
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.519
I'm a big fan of the Martsen
style, and so I want to

605
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.400
wait till Labor Day so I can
really just enjoy it. And while I'm

606
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:04.679
still enjoying the summer pills. And
meanwhile, during the break, I have

607
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.960
Bill and Chad chirping in my ear, going, hey, man, once

608
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.559
you crack that, that marks and
tober everyone. All the cool kids are

609
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.320
doing your rule. All the killed
kids are doing it. Man, be

610
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:17.119
damn it Bills beer. So it's
okay, damn it Bill? All right,

611
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:20.559
So I did, I'm gonna do
it all right? This is yes,

612
00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:22.599
ten years of breaking a rule,
all right. I don't see this.

613
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.960
Yeah, we're starting a new decade. You can start with a new

614
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:28.719
rule. I don't feel comfortable doing
this, but I guess I'm just gonna

615
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:30.519
go in and do it. Anyways. By the way, we don't make

616
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:32.159
it to the end of year of
this year and make it to year eleven,

617
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:36.320
it's all because of this right here. This, this is our downfall.

618
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:38.519
This is the hole in the boat
man. This is the iceberg that

619
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:44.079
hit. I am reached in the
cooler here at studios and I grabbed in

620
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:49.679
october Fest from twenty twenty two,
and this is the last Kaiser, Cowtown

621
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:52.880
Brewing and Pettle Martin Logger. So
I have no idea how this is gonna

622
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.719
taste. It's about a year old. I love Cowtown beer. Oh all

623
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:00.800
right, if you're ever in Fort
Worth and everybody's like, well, if

624
00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:02.599
you're in the d FW area,
what breweries do you need to go town?

625
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.719
Go to start with Cowtown, then
go out and visit everybody else.

626
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:13.039
I'm telling I really do like Cowtown, big fan. I'm mad at Bill

627
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.559
for this because it's freaking good,
isn't it. It's in a prettyld martsin

628
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:19.119
at seven point eight percent alcohol by
volume. Let me take a s.

629
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.320
Yeah it's a big one, Yeah
it is. It's it's I have it

630
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:24.559
fresh every year when I go up
there or down there rather could from Michigan.

631
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.800
That's so good. It is good. I know. I'm jealous.

632
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:30.840
I'm like, damn, I want
that beer. I love that beer.

633
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:35.360
It doesn't even taste so you get
the breadiness, you have the toasty notes,

634
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.000
toffee, a little toffee. Yep, that's it. Man. I

635
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.199
can't believe I'm breaking my own rules. Why did you talk me into this

636
00:44:42.280 --> 00:44:45.880
bill? That's all your faults.
You're supposed to be up they're supposed to

637
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:50.320
stain your ground, and you're like, okay, And so I was like,

638
00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:52.559
oh, I guess this bill's doing
it. I guess I'll do it.

639
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:58.960
But no limit to your hypocrisy.
The last Kaiser Cowtown. I'm sure

640
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.800
it's out now, but this is
the twenty twenty two version of it.

641
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:06.599
It's still it's still one hundred degrees
in the summertime in Texas. So yeah,

642
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:09.079
it's time to release that, Marzin. So yeah, there you go,

643
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:14.079
breaking my own rules. So good, that's good. Though, it's

644
00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:16.000
good. I'm but this is the
last one I'm gonna drink for labor to

645
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:22.239
day. You hear that, bill, I understand and watch this brought to

646
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.159
you by the rain alt up ten
Hacken Insurance Crew, where they'll cover you

647
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:30.599
for just about everything except this.
Rules are rules. This is where the

648
00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:34.239
trade rules are rules, and if
you followed rules, you would never end

649
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:37.840
up in this segment. So I
was just gonna say, speaking of which,

650
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.159
James, you may end up on
this segment someday because you're breaking rules.

651
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:44.320
I don't know, man, I
feel weird giving props to this guy

652
00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.719
for wanting to help Al's daughter,
but maybe he should have just waited until

653
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:52.039
the next morning after he's sobered up. But there's a fifty year old dad

654
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:57.960
in You want to take guests where, let's go with Rhode Island. No,

655
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.000
it's not Rhode Island, Billy.
You want to take guess where this

656
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:04.480
took place? Denver, Colorado?
Not Denver, Colorado, North Florida.

657
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.920
Looking for Florida, guys, No
Florida, Queensland, Australia. Oh all

658
00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:13.199
right, yeah, So I mean
you could have at least told us it

659
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:15.960
was a different continent, because I
wasn't assume you're gonna guess it it was

660
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:17.039
gonna be Florida. I'm like,
no, getting Florida in the week off.

661
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:22.440
I was gonna say Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, but hello, I wasn't

662
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.800
sure. Queensland, Australia. So
a fifty one year old dad got a

663
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:34.079
d u y one Sunday while driving
his riding lawn mower through the town at

664
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:37.639
one o'clock in the morning. Oh
dude, yeah, I mean that's how

665
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:40.480
you that's how you keep that yard
looking good and avoid the heat. So

666
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:44.440
yeah, I'm good. When the
cop pulled him over and asked him what

667
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:46.440
he was doing, he said,
quote, I thought I'd drive this old

668
00:46:46.480 --> 00:46:53.480
girl over to mow my daughter's lawn. Good motives. Maybe maybe, maybe

669
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:58.039
he wanted to mow before she woke
up. So when she woke up the

670
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:00.679
next morning, she had a cup
of coffee and she was like, oh

671
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:02.679
my gosh, my dad wore my
grass over there. Yeah last night.

672
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.679
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure
she would really appreciate the lawnmower going by

673
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:13.440
it at one in the morning.
So the cops said, one am probably

674
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:16.559
not the best time for that.
His chess cam. His chess cam was

675
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:20.079
running and they got video of it, and I looked at the video.

676
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.199
I was gonna air it, but
all you hear is the sound the lawnmower

677
00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:25.440
and you can't really catch what they're
saying. Oh so it wasn't a Tesla

678
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:30.280
lawnmower, so it wasn't electric.
It wasn't electric. But they did give

679
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.960
me the old breathalyzer. Oh well, on the old lawnmower, and he

680
00:47:35.079 --> 00:47:38.880
blew at point one nine. All
right, yeah, alright, that's uh

681
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:45.440
what almost three times the limit.
That's twice the legal limit here and almost

682
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:50.360
four times a legal limit in Australia
where it's five. It's point oh five

683
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:55.239
in Australia. Oh well done.
So he's doing achiever. He's doing court

684
00:47:55.239 --> 00:48:02.000
in September facing a drunk driving charge. If he takes the riding lawn more

685
00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:07.679
to court, that would be gold, ride it in there and then get

686
00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:09.199
there. Actually, what he should
do is he should drive there at one

687
00:48:09.199 --> 00:48:14.119
in the morning and mow the courthouse
lawn with a beer in hand, and

688
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:16.599
then go in and see if we
get the charges dismissed because he's already done

689
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:21.599
community service. That's how you get
out of there. By the way,

690
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.000
if you're looking for an attorney,
Chad pilbe an attorney at law Chad Wore

691
00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:30.719
in the x x x L suit, all right, that's your your hold

692
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:34.079
my beer. And watched this A
drunk dad got a dui on a writing

693
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:39.440
lawn more at one in the morning, so stupid. And this has brought

694
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:43.639
to me by a Reguleton Hickland Sherf's
group where they they're not going to show

695
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:52.840
you for a writing lawn more.
You know what. He was gonna do

696
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:55.840
his daughter a nice favor. She
might be going through a rough time right

697
00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:00.000
now, and he was gonna surprise
her by mowner grass. But this cop

698
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:06.639
got in away. Maybe she could
reciproate by bailing him out. She's gonna

699
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:08.760
post the bond. Dad cut my
grass five times for this, all right,

700
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:13.679
that's hold my beer. And watched
this still to come Where is the

701
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:16.199
best beer city? And we got
an interview coming up. All this is

702
00:49:16.199 --> 00:49:24.239
so much more. We'll be right
back today. We are heroes. Heroes

703
00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:30.599
who rescues some beer that was trapped
in a bottle. This is what's on

704
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:37.400
tap radio. If you're here in
West Michigan and you have insurance needs,

705
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:42.599
why not support somebody who supports us. Ring all the ten Hacken Insurance.

706
00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:46.119
Reach out to our buddy John Clunder
that's ringing all the ten Hacken Insurance RTI,

707
00:49:46.280 --> 00:50:07.519
Grand Rapids dot Com my exact words
right as we were going on the

708
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:15.559
air. I can't wait to October. It's my favorite month. You got

709
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:21.440
college football's back, you have the
NFL's back, you have playoff Baseball,

710
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:28.719
but more importantly God october Fest in
your glass. And now, because of

711
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:36.280
Bill, I broke my own rule. I'm drinking that last kaiser Cowtown Brewery

712
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.079
out of Fort Worth. This is
the Imperial Marzin at seven point eight percent.

713
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:44.400
I'll call it by volume. I'm
not mad at this decision, but

714
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.519
I'll feel guilty about about it tomorrow. You you entered into the danger zone?

715
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:52.320
Is what you did? Did I
did? Yeah? Well, James.

716
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:57.119
In honor of that, I have
yet another beer to open because stunt

717
00:50:57.119 --> 00:51:01.000
a beer liver Bill in studios.
I guess it's a missail. No no,

718
00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:07.000
but no, no, that it's
it's actually a double I PA from

719
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:13.840
Pigeon Hill Brewing called danger Zone and
the label on it is gold. I

720
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:19.360
mean it is a total total rip
off of I mean complete with the volleyball.

721
00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:24.320
Look at that. That's funny.
It's total. So Pigeon Hill Brewery,

722
00:51:24.360 --> 00:51:29.840
Mosquegan, Michigan, my hometown where
I was born, and uh,

723
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.400
I have not had this beer.
I wanted to bring it to the show.

724
00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:36.000
I saw it, and I'm gonna
be honest. I bought this beer

725
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:39.960
for one reason only the can art. I wanted the can art. I

726
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.440
wanted the can for my collection.
So I have no idea what to expect

727
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:50.320
here, but Pigeon Hill Brewery out
a Mosqugan, Michigan, and oh yeah,

728
00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:54.719
and interesting with beers don't live up
to the label. I'm I'm not

729
00:51:54.760 --> 00:52:00.559
sure how old this is. It
says five sixteen twenty three is when it

730
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:04.599
was can so it's only a couple
of No, no, it's only a

731
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:09.239
couple of months old. But it's
a real generic version of a centennial.

732
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:15.039
I PA, there you go.
In my opinion, it's it's it's beer.

733
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:19.679
It's good, people, Bill,
people don't know what a centennial,

734
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:22.280
I pa is. Oh, but
it's a very good I pa, Yeah,

735
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:25.400
it's it's good. It's good.
It doesn't. It doesn't wow me.

736
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:30.400
It doesn't. It's it's I'm not
gonna lie, it's it's not my

737
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.760
favorite double ipa. So but again, we don't love every beer, and

738
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:37.639
I happen to like a lot of
beer from Pigeon Hill. This one just

739
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:42.920
didn't This one didn't scratch where I
itch, and I did take three SIPs

740
00:52:42.960 --> 00:52:45.079
before I judged it. I'm glad
I got the can in my collection.

741
00:52:45.320 --> 00:52:49.679
But that's what we uh, we
kicked off here and opened it up.

742
00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:53.519
So I like the guys at Pigeon
Hill too, So maybe maybe it's just

743
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:57.320
love them. Maybe Bill and I
we've had. You know, we did

744
00:52:57.360 --> 00:53:00.400
have an old October Fest before this, so you never know. Hey,

745
00:53:00.800 --> 00:53:01.559
Chat, I don't know if you
saw the ticker, but I gotta do

746
00:53:01.599 --> 00:53:07.559
this. Breaking news, breaking news. We now interrupt this program for a

747
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:15.000
special news bulletin. There's a brewery
out of Georgia that's acquired some breweries from

748
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:19.960
Annheuser Busch. What that's this in? That's right, breaking news. This

749
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:22.800
just in Thank you, James.
We're here live in Michigan right now.

750
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:28.119
We're bringing you news out of Atlanta, Georgia and their parent company which is

751
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:30.280
Canadian based, and since we're here
in Michigan, we're close enough to the

752
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:35.639
border. Yeah do you smell that? Yeah? Canadian based cannabis company Tilray

753
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:40.880
Brands, who's the parent company of
Sweetwater Brewery out of Atlanta has acquired now

754
00:53:42.079 --> 00:53:46.039
eight beer and beverage brands from Annheuser
Busch. Annheuser Busch now in a massive

755
00:53:46.159 --> 00:53:52.559
sell off of several brands, releasing
brands such a Shock Top, breckon Ridge,

756
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:59.039
Blue Point, ten Barrel, Red
Hook, Woodmer Brothers, Square Mile

757
00:53:59.159 --> 00:54:04.400
Cider, and Highball Energy, just
to add to some of the other brands

758
00:54:04.440 --> 00:54:07.880
that they've released recently. Now Annaheuser
Busch is but in the news with having

759
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:14.760
closed several breweries as well as selling
back to the original owners and founders several

760
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:21.760
other breweries, citing profit losses or
rather profit margins not meeting expectations and focusing

761
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:24.960
on their core brands. Now.
Noticeably missing from the acquisition of the craft

762
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:29.800
brewery brands were Goose Island, a
Lesion, Four Peaks, Golden Road,

763
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:34.840
Devil's Backbone, Carbock Brewing, Wickedweed, kna In a Mission which still remain

764
00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:39.280
in the Anheiser Busch portfolio. Now
time will only tell and profits and sales

765
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.960
what I'm assuming, will determine these
decisions. But Anheiser Busch right now continuing

766
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:52.079
the trend of selling off low performing
or low profit margin breweries. This is

767
00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:54.000
not to say, though, that
these are unsuccessful brands, or that these

768
00:54:54.000 --> 00:55:00.159
brands will be closing or phased out, But rather they're being taken of off

769
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:05.320
of one set of books within the
Anheuser Busch portfolio and now absorbed in Canadian

770
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:08.400
based till Ray Brands, which is
a cannabis company. Now we saw this

771
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:15.639
happen. Also, interesting enough,
the another cannabis company purchasing Ballast Point.

772
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:19.360
We saw that happen for a while
and then they turned around and sold that

773
00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:24.280
off. And cannabis company is getting
more and more involved with alternative portfolios,

774
00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:30.360
mainly in the malt beverage category.
So stay tuned, and we're gonna time

775
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.280
will tell where Anheuser Busch goes next
and how Canadian based Tilray Brands will handle

776
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:40.519
things like Shock Top and Montauk and
Green Flash and Alpine beers and brands that

777
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:45.519
craft brewers have known and loved.
You notice that what all these brewers have

778
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:51.480
in common Goose Island, a Lesion, Four Peaks, Golden Road, Devil's

779
00:55:51.480 --> 00:55:53.639
Backbone, Carbock, Wicked Weed,
ConA Brewing, and Omission. What all

780
00:55:53.639 --> 00:56:00.280
those brewis have in common. They're
performing. Yeah, those are meeting the

781
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:04.400
profit expectations. Yeah, so they
they're cutting the low hanging fruit here like

782
00:56:04.440 --> 00:56:08.360
all, let's whack this, whack
that, whack this, but notably missing,

783
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:12.519
they're not gonna sell those because they're
doing quite well. What I love

784
00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:16.719
about it, though, is AB
did close. I believe it was two

785
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:21.559
breweries that they purchased, two of
the fifteen craft breweries they bought, but

786
00:56:21.639 --> 00:56:25.119
they allowed the founders to buy some
of the other brands back, and this

787
00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:31.719
particular one, the Sweetwater parent company
of Canada is buying eight brands. So

788
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:37.639
those people and those companies keep their
jobs. And that's what I like about

789
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.119
this story. AB. Well,
of course AB is gonna go ahead and

790
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:44.440
take the cash whenever they can,
because they make nothing if they close the

791
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:49.400
brewery, So smart move on their
part, and time will tell if til

792
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:54.559
Ray can maintain these brands and the
profit margins meet their expectations. But its

793
00:56:54.559 --> 00:57:00.159
purchased by a cannabis company that which
owns Sweetwater. Right, and Chad just

794
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:04.280
brought up a good point that you
see a lot of these cannabis companies,

795
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.960
for example Ballast Point. But here
in Houston, Eighth Wonder Brewery and Distillery

796
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:13.559
acquired by Bayou City Hip Company.
Yeah, that's true, and they By

797
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:19.760
the way, bonus bonus, breaking
news. Molson Coors just purchased a boutique

798
00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:24.960
rum manufacturer, so they're adding to
their portfolio as well. So yeah,

799
00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:30.639
interesting times we live in to see
this big cannabis rise coming out. Because

800
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:34.000
you know, eighth wondered they did
a collaboration with they did a non alcoholic

801
00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:38.079
seltzer infused with HEMP CBD. Because
I don't know if people know this.

802
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:42.800
I don't know if people know this, but any anytime CBDs involved, you

803
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.119
can't have any alcohol, are any
other one or the other one or the

804
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:51.800
other. But was it? Yeah, yeah, you're right. So yeah,

805
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:55.559
interesting news coming bouts. So we'll
keep an eye on that. But

806
00:57:55.599 --> 00:58:00.400
I do want to switch gears here. We we do promote drinking worse hosibly.

807
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:01.719
I mean, we wouldn't be on
the air for ten years if we

808
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:06.599
didn't do so. I remember the
first time we were gonna go to air,

809
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:08.960
I got pulled in the PD's office
and the PD told me that's program

810
00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:13.360
director. For those that didn't know. Program director looks at me the eye

811
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:16.519
and says, all right, the
second I tune into this radio program and

812
00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:20.920
you're slurring your speech or you sound
like you're intoxicated, will be your last

813
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:22.440
show. And I took that to
heart. I took that to heart,

814
00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:30.159
and so I'm drinking little samples.
Meanwhile, Bill and Chat or just not

815
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:32.679
gonna build dude, that's Bills carrying
the heavy load here. I'm not doing

816
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:37.119
that's most of the bill. That's
mostly Bill. But I do drink responsibly

817
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:42.000
here, but we encourage everyone to
drink responsibly. But I did come across

818
00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:45.920
the story that is there anything better
than a burger out on a night when

819
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:50.599
you've had a little too much to
drink? What about mozzarella sticks? Maybe

820
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:55.159
a leafy salad? Uh? Well? Someone used Google data to find the

821
00:58:55.239 --> 00:59:00.519
top drunken munchies in every state,
and for most of the country, burgers

822
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:06.000
we're number one. Chicken wings are
second, followed by grilled cheese. So

823
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:07.760
why are out there? You know
you had a little too much to drink.

824
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:12.679
What are you snacking on? Well, most people surveyed, we're stacking

825
00:59:12.719 --> 00:59:17.320
on burgers, chicken wings, and
grilled cheese. New tailgate idea. Not

826
00:59:17.400 --> 00:59:22.239
that we're going to be drunk at
the tailgate, but beer, cheese,

827
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.239
grilled cheese. Oh you're onto something. I'm onto something. Yeah, and

828
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:30.760
then we could also do beer braised
corned beef with it. Boom, that's

829
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:32.199
our new ham and cheese right there, baby, All right, Like I

830
00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:35.719
said, drink responsibly. All right, we got an interview coming up.

831
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.199
I hit the road and I went
to a destination brewery. Find out who

832
00:59:38.280 --> 00:59:42.880
that is. What's on tap Radio? We'll be right back. Think all

833
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:46.760
you want. We prefer to drink
outside the box. You have good taste.

834
00:59:47.440 --> 01:00:00.199
Hey, what's on tap? This
is what's on tap radio? App

835
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:06.039
look better from my tep right all
right, welcome back to What's on Tap

836
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:13.199
Radio where I'm expanding my music horizon. Here Travis caserk Hell's song Brewing,

837
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:15.639
Columbus, Texas. Welcome to the
radio show. Thank you. It's good

838
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:19.559
to be here. So I always
ask, I always have to ask.

839
01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:22.599
I'm like, when when you're brewing, you know, what do you listen

840
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.039
to? But you said you like
to kind of get your thoughts take over,

841
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:30.039
right, You've got a good thing. I can't. I really don't

842
01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:34.320
know. I just I'm very technical
with brewing, and so I'd just like

843
01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:37.079
to be able to focus on it. So, you know, it's hard

844
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:40.079
to say whether it's a good thing. But That's just how how I do

845
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:44.480
it. I kind of how I
feel like when I when I come up

846
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:45.760
with my best ideas when I'm on
the road or I'm in the shower.

847
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:49.599
Yeah, it's strange. It's like
and then like when I'm on the road,

848
01:00:49.599 --> 01:00:52.039
I usually have like a pin and
pad I can just write stuff down.

849
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:53.679
But in the shower, I'm like, uh, And then when I

850
01:00:53.719 --> 01:00:55.480
got on the shower, I'm like, what was that good idea I had

851
01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:58.679
just had? It happens to me
all the time when I run. I

852
01:00:58.800 --> 01:01:01.760
run a lot too outside of all
this beer brewing, and I'll have the

853
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:06.960
best thoughts when I'm out running and
uh, and then I can't remember them

854
01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:09.519
later on most of the time.
Well, I want to thank you.

855
01:01:09.679 --> 01:01:13.559
This has been a long time coming. People have been hitting me up.

856
01:01:13.599 --> 01:01:17.440
Hey, Columbus, Texas and just
this quaint little brewery. It's it's between

857
01:01:17.519 --> 01:01:22.440
San Antonio, Austin and Houston.
A lot of people come in or it's

858
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:24.480
a destination brewery. And I can't
tell you how many people have sent me

859
01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:27.679
pictures. Have you heard of this
brewery? And I'm like, a matter

860
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:30.639
of fact, yes I have.
Have you had them on? Unfortunately,

861
01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:32.559
not but until now. Thank you
Travis for taking the time. I know

862
01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:36.960
you're in the middle of brewing.
So how long is a how song have

863
01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:39.159
been open? We've been open just
over two and a half years. It'll

864
01:01:39.159 --> 01:01:43.320
be three years in November. So
I'm doing my math here and that makes

865
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:46.760
it the year that we really don't
like to discuss. That's true. Yeah,

866
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:52.440
we we didn't really have any options. I mean, we started back

867
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:58.119
in twenty nineteen, wrote wrote the
business plan and found the building and sold

868
01:01:58.119 --> 01:02:00.639
our house and then COVID here.
Where were you living at the time.

869
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:05.480
At the time, I was living
in Colorado? So you moved here from

870
01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:09.440
Colorado. We're in Colorado Fort Collins, Fort Collins of all places, which

871
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:14.039
is pretty much like a beer mecca, right, so many great breweries.

872
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:16.840
And you decided, okay, let's
come to Columbus, Texas. Why Columbus

873
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:20.280
Texas. Well, I'm from Weimer, which is just down the road.

874
01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:22.760
It's another another fifteen miles west,
So you aren't living in Colorado thinking like,

875
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:24.960
hey, let's just throw a dart
in the dartboard and see where it

876
01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:28.679
lands. Oh, Columbus Texas,
let's go right. Yeah, No,

877
01:02:29.559 --> 01:02:30.840
I just wanted to bring it closer
to home. I mean, we looked

878
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:36.519
at stuff in northern Colorado, but
just the more we developed the idea the

879
01:02:36.639 --> 01:02:38.960
brand, uh, it just made
sense to bring it closer to home.

880
01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:45.440
And so being the fact that it
is a brewery that's between Austin and San

881
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:50.599
Antonio in Houston, which makes it
a destination brewery, tell me what that's

882
01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:52.599
what that's like. Do you have
a lot of regulars or is it more

883
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:55.920
people just driving through. It's a
mix of both. For sure. We

884
01:02:55.960 --> 01:03:00.719
have a lot of regulars throughout the
week and even on the weekend. But

885
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:04.519
the weekends also are our time for
a lot of folks coming through, like

886
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:07.480
you alluded to, whether they're passing
between Houston and San Antonio or Austin or

887
01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:12.880
whatever the case might be, they'll
get off because they know that we're here.

888
01:03:13.039 --> 01:03:16.199
And frequently we'll tell us they've never
even considered that there was anything in

889
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:22.119
Columbus, just except for a few
gas stations, and so we'll get we'll

890
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:25.079
get those folks off the off the
highway and make them you know, uh,

891
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:29.480
I guess fans from that point forward. But we do have a lot

892
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:32.000
of locals as well who come in
during the week who are regulars for trivia

893
01:03:32.119 --> 01:03:36.519
or other events that we have going
on. So so, yeah, definitely

894
01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:38.679
a mix that I guess you could
say the regulars kind of keep us afloat

895
01:03:38.719 --> 01:03:43.199
from weekend to weekend, and then
of course we do most of our business

896
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:45.960
on the weekends, when it's a
good, good, healthy mix. I

897
01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:47.920
do want to make a note that
the fact that people may be tuning in

898
01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:52.199
there's a lot going on in the
background. Yeah, that's because we are

899
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:55.199
in fact broadcasting here at hounds On
Brewing Company in Columbus, Texas. Made

900
01:03:55.199 --> 01:03:59.880
the drive out here to catch up
with Travis, and uh so if you

901
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:01.320
here's some stuff going on in the
background, that's because you are brewing right

902
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:03.719
now. That's right. Yeah,
you might hear some pumps in the background,

903
01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:08.000
a little bit of music. House
On Brewing Company twenty. You guys

904
01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:11.239
been open almost three years. What
have you learned in the in the first

905
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:15.800
three years of operating a business man? It's a hell of a lot of

906
01:04:15.800 --> 01:04:20.159
work. We've learned that you have
to you have to keep you have to

907
01:04:20.199 --> 01:04:24.039
keep moving forward, you have to
keep growing. I mean when we first

908
01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:26.320
opened, as you mentioned, of
course, there was COVID, so there

909
01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:30.800
was a lot of pivoting. Pivot. Yeah, that word, it seems

910
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:33.960
to be the buzzword of that year. That's right. Yeah, so we

911
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:36.519
had to do a lot of that. But but I've also learned a lot

912
01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:43.039
that you know, we we we've
grown our tap room, we've diversified our

913
01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:45.599
tap list, we've expanded our tap
list by putting in another bar with more

914
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:49.400
taps. So I guess the short
of it is is you gotta keep growing

915
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:53.880
or keep evolving is maybe a better
way to put it. Not necessarily growth

916
01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:57.920
for the sake of growth, but
just evolving to keep folks engage because at

917
01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.320
some point, you know, the
beer's great, and that's awesome, but

918
01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:04.400
with over four hundred brewers in the
state of Texas nine to ten thousand nationwide,

919
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:08.239
you've got to offer a hell of
a lot more than just the liquid.

920
01:05:09.239 --> 01:05:12.440
And so we kind of accepted early
on that, you know, a

921
01:05:12.519 --> 01:05:15.119
given is that the beer will be
good, and that was that was kind

922
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:17.599
of the lowest standard, was that
the beer is gonna be good. And

923
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:23.719
then from there we're gonna have to
diversify and a bunch of different ways to

924
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:28.159
get folks to want to come here. That's manifested in our kitchen, you

925
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:31.000
know. Adding the kitchen, we
have a PA system where we do live

926
01:05:31.079 --> 01:05:35.320
music all the time, put in
a stage. We do different events in

927
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:42.039
the community. We do like makers
markets, all kinds of stuff just to

928
01:05:42.199 --> 01:05:44.800
just to get folks. You keep
folks interested in wanting to be here.

929
01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:48.559
So when you come out to Hounso
Brewing Company again we're talking to Travis Kserk

930
01:05:48.679 --> 01:05:51.960
Hounso Brewing Company, you come for
the experience, not for fel liquid or

931
01:05:51.960 --> 01:05:56.440
the food, but for the experience
itself, right, And one of those

932
01:05:56.480 --> 01:06:00.559
experiences is the fact that you have
this large area where you have bands.

933
01:06:00.599 --> 01:06:03.400
Like I've seen you know breweries they
have little stages on the side, but

934
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:08.159
you actually have a separate room where
it almost looks like you could rent it

935
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:14.119
out for receptions or maybe college reunion, high school reunions, so forth.

936
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:16.239
Absolutely, all of that. All
the above. Now in regards to the

937
01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:21.840
music, we generally do live music
every weekend, typically on Fridays, and

938
01:06:23.679 --> 01:06:27.960
it's it's it's been something we've we've
really grown to. Like, my wife

939
01:06:27.960 --> 01:06:31.440
wanted to put in a proper music
venue because we're fans of music, and

940
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:36.519
she wanted to support kind of singer
songwriters, not just folks who only sing

941
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:41.480
covers, which are fine, not
to disparage them, but singer songwriters who

942
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:44.519
are trying to make it. It's
similar to us, you know, who

943
01:06:44.519 --> 01:06:47.519
share that grit, share that determination, the grind, the grind. Yeah,

944
01:06:47.559 --> 01:06:50.280
you see that a lot with musicians, especially when they're trying to get

945
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:54.400
up and going. And so we
wanted to support that and bring something new

946
01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:59.079
and different to Columbus. And so
that's you know, one thing that we've

947
01:06:59.079 --> 01:07:01.199
done here, and that's what kind
motivated us to put in the proper music

948
01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:04.079
venue with the PA system and all
that. So we touched we're talking about

949
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:06.280
the music, we're talking about the
liquid, the food. Tell me about

950
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:11.320
the experience. Somebody walks into Houndsong. What can they expect when they walk

951
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:14.639
right into the front doors here.
Well, ideally we want it to be

952
01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:18.840
a welcoming environment. We want folks
to come in to see that it is

953
01:07:18.840 --> 01:07:23.519
a big, wide open space,
it's well lit, people are friendly.

954
01:07:23.599 --> 01:07:28.320
When you walk in, you're greeted, and it's it's pretty easy to navigate.

955
01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:30.639
That that's a goal of ours as
well. Both the tap room and

956
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:35.239
the menu, whether the food or
the beer menu, and it's approachable.

957
01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:40.280
That's another thing that's big for us
is to be approachable, and we needed

958
01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:44.639
that when we were opening in an
area that didn't have a brewery. We're

959
01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:48.000
the first brewery and still are the
only brewery in the county. And folks

960
01:07:48.239 --> 01:07:51.960
see craft beer, or at least
did see craft beer as something from the

961
01:07:53.000 --> 01:07:57.079
city. It wasn't something that existed
in Columbus or anywhere nearby. They would

962
01:07:57.119 --> 01:08:01.320
have to drive to the city for
that. But we wanted to show them

963
01:08:01.360 --> 01:08:05.079
that it could be something that could
exist in Columbus and something they could enjoy.

964
01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:08.280
And to do that, we need
to be friendly. We need to

965
01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:11.800
be approachable, and the beer styles
also needed to kind of follow suit.

966
01:08:12.519 --> 01:08:15.039
Talk about the challenges that you've faced
in the in the you know, the

967
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:19.560
first couple of years, and how
you've grown from those to come where you

968
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:23.680
are now where it's a family friendly
and what are this some of the challenges

969
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:28.039
you face and how you overcame those. Well, I mean a big challenge

970
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:33.399
has been honestly just you know,
finding staffing has been really challenging out here

971
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:38.159
out in the country. We've got
a lot of folks who live in the

972
01:08:38.199 --> 01:08:43.960
area who U commute to Houston or
you know, to another area for work,

973
01:08:44.079 --> 01:08:46.279
and so, uh, in being
that there's only about thirty six hundred

974
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:51.239
people in Columbus, it's been a
little bit challenging to to properly staff and

975
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:55.039
so then you know, we're we're
getting to a good place now. And

976
01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:57.960
that's taken some time, but we've
just had to My wife, Raven and

977
01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:00.319
I we've just had to fill the
gaps. And uh, whether that's been

978
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.720
her spending a lot more time than
she cares to admit in the kitchen or

979
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:09.479
you know, me roughing it in
the in the brew house by myself for

980
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:14.119
for for the first two years,
in addition to running the business. You

981
01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:16.560
know, how we overcame it was
was simply with that grit, you know,

982
01:09:17.479 --> 01:09:21.119
just having no other option, like
this is what we're doing. You

983
01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:26.520
know. So Travis Cosik's our guest
Houndsong Brewing Company, Columbus, Texas.

984
01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:29.479
I got about a minute left.
What is something that somebody needs to know

985
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:32.680
about Houndsong that we hadn't touched on. It's not as far as you think.

986
01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:35.640
I think a lot of folks get
the idea that, oh that's way

987
01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:40.680
out there. If you live in
Katie you're thirty nine minutes away from from

988
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:45.239
Houndsong according to according to Tom Paynter
and some of you might know him,

989
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.319
but yeah, thirty nine minutes down
the road from from from our friends over

990
01:09:48.359 --> 01:09:51.199
at No Label. You know,
if you live in Katie, you would

991
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:56.560
take just that long to go into
the city to do something in downtown Houston,

992
01:09:56.680 --> 01:10:00.439
So we're not that far. We
think it's worth trip. Awesome food,

993
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:05.479
great beer, just a chill atmosphere
and in the environment. That's what's

994
01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:09.279
really about. The environment. You're
gonna come and you're gonna have a good

995
01:10:09.279 --> 01:10:13.000
time. That's right. Well,
Travis, I wish you the best man

996
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:15.479
three years. I can't wait to
see where you guys are in three years

997
01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:18.159
from now. Thank you. I
appreciate it, and man, it's been

998
01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:21.119
a pleasure to be here and I'm
glad we were able to finally make it

999
01:10:21.159 --> 01:10:25.600
happen. Yes, Travis Concerts our

sitting there like there are some really crappy

1027
01:12:23.279 --> 01:12:27.359
podcasts on this platform, we are
there, but not because we're a crappy

1028
01:12:27.359 --> 01:12:31.399
podcast, but that's because we are

01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:34.399
say, hey, there are some
great podcasts over there, we are there

01:12:44.520 --> 01:12:47.479

on tap radio High five. So,

1035
01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:58.880
as we said, this is the
last segment for the week. We've

1036
01:12:58.880 --> 01:13:01.359
had a ton of fun. We've
opened up some beers. Some of the

1037
01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:05.600
beers didn't fall in love with on
this particular show. There are things I

1038
01:13:05.600 --> 01:13:09.399
can't believe brought my own rule.
You broke your rules, I know.

1039
01:13:09.960 --> 01:13:13.600
But James, I'll tell you what. Superior Past Control of West Michigan sent

1040
01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:15.880
me this story. So I want
to thank them for They send the stories

1041
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:20.479
all the time, but this particular
one scratched right where I hitched because we

1042
01:13:20.640 --> 01:13:25.600
got into some food. And so
we're gonna we're gonna wind down the show

1043
01:13:25.640 --> 01:13:27.680
this week. We're gonna kind of
put a bow on it by talking about

1044
01:13:27.680 --> 01:13:31.720
some of the best of the best
of things. And I'm thinking to myself,

1045
01:13:31.840 --> 01:13:36.159
you mentioned you know what breakfast foods. What are some of the best

1046
01:13:36.239 --> 01:13:40.840
breakfast foods, things that you love
to have, like maybe on a buffet

1047
01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:44.399
or in All you Can Eat or
just you know, I like restaurant.

1048
01:13:44.399 --> 01:13:47.399
I like a nice eggs benedict,
some fried bacon. That's my that's my

1049
01:13:47.479 --> 01:13:54.359
ideal breakfast eggs Benedict. I don't
get into the eggs benedict. But I

1050
01:13:54.399 --> 01:13:57.600
love I love I love me some
meat like that. I love that some

1051
01:13:57.680 --> 01:14:02.239
protein protein, that's right, eggs
protein, beat protein. What kind of

1052
01:14:02.319 --> 01:14:05.560
what kind of toast would you like
with that? None? Just get that

1053
01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:09.920
biscuit out of here. I don't
want any of that French French. But

1054
01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:13.319
I've never really I try not to
think about my carbohydrates when I'm eating breakfast,

1055
01:14:13.319 --> 01:14:15.880
because I enough carbohydrates during the day
when I'm drinking beer. But what

1056
01:14:16.039 --> 01:14:20.319
if I told you that, Ladies
and Gentlemen, the world's best breakfast buffet

1057
01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:25.960
may have the best of both worlds. And I'm going to tell you where

1058
01:14:25.960 --> 01:14:30.479
it is. Ladies and Gentlemen,
the world's best hotel breakfast buffet. When

1059
01:14:30.479 --> 01:14:34.439
you think of this probably includes scrambled
eggs, sliced fruit, milk. Please

1060
01:14:34.479 --> 01:14:39.800
tell me it's a strip club.
It is not a strip club. No,

1061
01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:45.319
everybody has their clothes on. But
you will have to travel to the

1062
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:49.800
beach tower in Okinawa. It's only
a forty minute ride from the airport,

1063
01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:55.520
and when you get there, you
will it is. It is a Japan

1064
01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:59.560
It's a mix of Japanese and Western
style dishes. It's a buffet all you

1065
01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:04.600
can eat, including things like goya
chen peru which is stir fried, bitter

1066
01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:11.920
melon, gumi budo which is literally
sea grapes, and taco rice. But

1067
01:15:12.000 --> 01:15:15.560
there's also the fusion of American foods
like breakfast burgers, and you can have

1068
01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:20.520
all that you want there and it
has all of your traditional Western fair with

1069
01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:28.159
a fusion of Southeast Asia burg Yes, what's a breakfast It's just a burger

1070
01:15:28.199 --> 01:15:30.439
with a fried egg on it.
No, it's actually literally like a hamburger,

1071
01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:33.000
but you get it for breakfast.
So if you if you eat a

1072
01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:36.439
hamburger for breakfast, it constitutes a
breakfast burger. Oh okay, yeah,

1073
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:39.520
yeah, yeah. I mean we
don't call him supper burgers when we eat

1074
01:15:39.600 --> 01:15:41.880
him at supper time, but they
do call him breakfast burgers when you eat

1075
01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:46.119
him a breakfast time. And the
buffet has all you can eat steak James,

1076
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:51.520
all you can eat Okanawa rays,
mutabou beef, and all kinds of

1077
01:15:51.520 --> 01:15:56.920
other steaks that you want, and
they come with different ojus and amazing and

1078
01:15:57.119 --> 01:16:00.239
to round it all out, Yes, your breakfast buffet and Okinawa has a

1079
01:16:00.279 --> 01:16:05.840
self served draft beer machine and it's
all the beer you can drink. So

1080
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:14.039
the Beach Tower Hotel in Okinawa is
home of the world's best, or arguably

1081
01:16:14.119 --> 01:16:19.600
the world's best breakfast buffet with all
you can eat Asian Western fusion food,

1082
01:16:19.960 --> 01:16:25.119
all you can eat steak, and
all you can drink beer. And that's

1083
01:16:25.159 --> 01:16:28.399
the best place to get your breakfast
buffet bill. And I just booked our

1084
01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:30.680
flight. James will see you there. We're on our way. Is it?

1085
01:16:30.760 --> 01:16:34.920
What is it like an Asian custom
to have like these breakfast buffets?

1086
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:39.600
Because good friend of mine, Michael
Garfield high Tech, Texan, does a

1087
01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:45.439
radio show, went out to he
went to Korea, okay, and I

1088
01:16:45.479 --> 01:16:48.520
think they had like a Samsung thing
and he took his video of this the

1089
01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:54.039
spread for the buffet, and it
was like one of the craziest things I've

1090
01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:57.840
ever seen. I don't know if
that so, I've only been to China

1091
01:16:57.960 --> 01:16:59.960
once, and I can tell you
right now most of the stuff I could

1092
01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:02.079
eat because when I looked at it, I think it was still mooing or

1093
01:17:02.119 --> 01:17:04.960
clucking at me, and I was
just like, I can't do this.

1094
01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:08.239
Man. In fact, some of
the stuff had eyes on it and it

1095
01:17:08.279 --> 01:17:10.800
was looking at me. I'm like, I'm sorry, I didn't. I

1096
01:17:10.840 --> 01:17:13.960
don't I'm not responsible for you being
here, and I'm not gonna eat you.

1097
01:17:14.079 --> 01:17:17.920
But anyway, the thing is is
you think about Las Vegas. Las

1098
01:17:17.960 --> 01:17:23.000
Vegas has some of the most lavish
buffets anywhere in the world for food,

1099
01:17:23.560 --> 01:17:28.279
and Las Vegas has a lot of
tourists from Southeast Asia. I'm thinking that

1100
01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:32.760
Las Vegas and this is just a
hypothesis that Las Vegas buffets got their inspiration

1101
01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:36.239
from Southeast Asia. And I think
maybe this is a thing. Uh,

1102
01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:41.800
they're in that in that region of
the world, that breakfast buffets are that

1103
01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:44.479
big of a deal. Dude,
I love a good breakfast buffet. But

1104
01:17:44.520 --> 01:17:46.000
I've been to a lot of breakfast
buffets, but I don't think I've ever

1105
01:17:46.000 --> 01:17:49.439
been to a breakfast buffet where's all
you can drink beer? I know I

1106
01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:53.880
haven't. All you can eat steak
and all you can drink beer. Sign

1107
01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:57.439
me up. But what are sea
grapes? I don't know. Okay,

1108
01:17:58.079 --> 01:18:00.399
you want to know what sea grapes
are, I'll tell you exactly what grapes

1109
01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:02.760
are you ready for this? This
is exactly what they are because I have

1110
01:18:02.800 --> 01:18:08.680
it right here, ce grapes are
umi buodho? Okay does that help?

1111
01:18:09.079 --> 01:18:12.880
Apparently, no, it doesn't help, but literally is it's umi budo?

1112
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:16.920
Thank you? Chad? Yeah,
that's right. It's like somebody says,

1113
01:18:16.960 --> 01:18:18.880
I'm lost, Can you tell me
where I am? And I give you

1114
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:24.800
the actual longitude and latitude coordinates,
Like you're technically right, but man,

1115
01:18:24.880 --> 01:18:27.479
you didn't help me. Yeah,
you could give me a gas station or

1116
01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:31.720
no. No, I got nothing
right at the old supermarket. There the

1117
01:18:31.720 --> 01:18:34.960
piggoley wiggily and I'll be on the
left. Yeah. Well, speaking of
