00:00:03,319 --> 00:00:08,359
This is Beer in Front, part
of the Oddpods media network. Sometimes the

2
00:00:08,359 --> 00:00:11,880
beer in front of you is the
best one yet. I'll talk about some

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,559
old school beers that maybe you've forgotten
about, some new beers that have the

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,239
potential to be a classic. I'll
also talk to various people around the beer

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,120
world and get their stories all about
beer. That's Beer in Front, and

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:38,920
it's coming up now Sober October.
I'm not sure how long this has been

7
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,240
around. I first heard of it
this year, and I know people that

8
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,600
are participating this month. I'm cutting
down my beer consumption for a couple reasons.

9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,039
One, with the meds for my
back issues, excessive alcohol is frowned

10
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:58,000
upon. And two, I need
to manage my weight a little better.

11
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:03,600
So outside of the beer I have
for the podcast, I'll be drinking more

12
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:11,000
water instead. Hop flavored water has
zero calories or carbs, is non alcoholic,

13
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,480
so these could be what I'll be
buying more of down the road.

14
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,920
It seems that more breweries and companies
are coming out with hop flavored water lately.

15
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,000
The first one I can recall was
Hoppy Refresher from Laganitis a couple of

16
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:33,640
years ago. There's quite a few
out there now, and some local breweries

17
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,920
are also producing these. In this
episode, I'll be sampling some national and

18
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:45,439
regional brands from Illinois. I'll also
try a non alcoholic beer from Go Brewing

19
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,120
in Naperville. I had Joe and
James on from Go a few months ago,

20
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:55,159
and i also picked up a sour
from them that I'm gonna try later

21
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:59,159
on on the podcast. Now the
hop water is out there, They're not

22
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,200
cheap. Change between eight to twelve
bucks for a six pack, and the

23
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,439
twelve packs go around anywhere between seventeen
and twenty
