looking around come on, t tiktick, let's go. And this is brought
to you by friends over at the Backyard Grill where Chad Pilbean has been hanging
out. Oh man, that was a great turnout there for the award winning
not yet world famous beer with Mark and Chad, which turned into I mean
Mark couldn't make it, but that doesn't matter the spirit. Wait, so
you came in town, I did, and you just tag team like all
right? Mark tagged you like I'm out. Well, Mark, listen,
he's a busy man. Couldn't make it. He's got like five six restaurants
he's got going on. Man, the man is a entrepreneur. And yes,
very very busy. Get that name drop going? Come on, Sorry,
Brian was looking at me crazy. Mark mcshaffer, you drop a name,
Yeah, come on, there we go any It is thank you for
the on the northwest side of Houston, the Backyard Grill into everyone who came
out and hung out with us. We sampled a lot of great beers and
it's a good time. And in honor of that, I want to go
ahead and crack open another great beard to share with James here and also stunt
Liver. Brian Holsen KPRC. I'm gonna go first. Yeah, you bring
a beer, I bring a beer. I'm gonna go first, all right,
And I want to go ahead and say this. I was a little
upset with James earlier to prove that mary couples fight. Okay, we worked
together, sometimes we disagree, and so I, uh, in town.
I want to tell him why? Yeah, in town? I said,
James, you got enough beer there? Or do I need to stop and
grab something before coming to the show. And He's like, do you want
to sit on the floor? Now? We have a rule here. If
you don't bring beer to the show, you have to sit on the floor.
This is a real rule, and James was gonna enforce it. I'm
like, screw you, man, I can't believe this. You know what,
I'm gonna be petty about this. I'm gonna stop at a gas station
pick up like the oldest, dirtiest light beer, some malt liquor. And
then I realized dawned on me. You know what, that's just petty.
I'm not gonna do anything that petty. I'm gonna bring something else. Proof
Chad's a better man than I am, because I definitely would have done that.
That's right. Yeah, so I didn't want to do anything that petty.
But then again, maybe the says petty from brew Dog. I've got
the Bushwood Caddyshack Lagger. Brew Dog James Simpson's favorite brewery. Yes, is
my favorite. Actually on the radio, I talk about how much I hate
him. But if you go to look at my closet, I got brew
Dog shirt, you'd have nothing brew Dog in this house. Actually I do.
I have it in my cabinet down there. I got a brew Dog
beer. It's under those glasses, Brian. I got a brew Dog ipa
from fifteen years ago that my buddy Ash gave me. Oh so you haven't
fifteen years ago, Yeah, I mean, but look, there's a brew
Dog beer right there. It's an ipa that my buddy Ash won in a
poker game. He won the rights to You only have that beer for the
simple reason that Ash gave it to you, Otherwise it would be in the
dumpster, right Ash rest in peace, the owner of Duff Distribution. He
won the rights to distribute brew Dog in a poker game. WHOA all right?
All right? So you know what I mean? You Knowice, I
got you that Samuel Adams, Boston. Oh, and it brings out the
aroma. I'm not sure I'm happy about that. But here it is a
quote unquote light and fresh beer that's crushable on the course, lightly colored straw
logger James makes the same odd face. The Hop edition gives this bush With
beer a light and grassy lemon characteristic. You know, it's weirds bear everything
it smells. The aroma is awful, but the taste isn't so bad.
It smells awful. It smells awful, but taste isn't so bad. It's
kind of like a tartness too. No. Oh, I'm sorry. No,
Brian trash, Brian thoughts, Brian holds in stunt beer liver, Get
up on that mic. What are you thinking? No, No, it's
just bad there. No, okay, well that's when I brought the tail,
James. What's the alcoholic volume? Five percent? The bush Wood Beer

you, little teacher, what we have on tap this week. We're gonna
talk about quick Trip offering free beer. Harpoon is spreading the hotay, cheer

so much more, including coming up the official What's on Tap Radio fun fact
of the week. We'll be right back. Okay, we will buy no
more beer until we drink all the beer we have at home, we said,
and then we laugh and laughed and laughed. All right, cut it
out. This is What's on Tap Radio. Back to James and Chad.
Hey, you know, it doesn't matter what kind of beer you drink.
Do you like it ice cold, do you like it served in cellar temperature?
Do you like it served in a fancy glass or just drinking it from
a long neck model. It doesn't matter because everybody who drinks beer loves great
food and you're gonna find both at the Backyard Grill, located on the northwest

Anyway you want, it's the way you need. Any way you wanted.
She mused to live. She missed the same she does. You know a
song has been ruined for you When you hear a song and it just reminds
you of a commercial, I think it's like an AT and T commercial or
something. No, I'm reminded when I hear this, I think of Bushwood
Country Club, Caddy Shack, and Rodney Dangerfield out there and being yelled at
by the judge. Turn that racket off. I want to get more Christmas
music. But when the Christmas music played, everybody in the studio gave me
this thousand yards stare like, dude, no, relax. Now you haven't
even gotten into the you know, talking about what we're eating for Thanksgiving,
and here we are trying to get Christmas beer. This, this song is
appropriate for the two beers that we just opened, because anyway you want it,
all right, So we've got this Bushwood Caddyshack bear from brew Dog,
which I brought out of spite just to piss off James because he really does
not like brew Dog beer. I don't. It's not that I don't like
brew Dog beer. I just don't like the brew Dog owner. Right well,
he doesn't like you either, so it works out a feelings mutual,
I guess right. But beer it's I mean, those is terrible. No,
this is no this it smells skunky. If we did videos of drain
pores, we would absolutely show you this going down the drain. This is
not going to be consumed. We are not drinking this beer. I finish
it. I mean it's in my class. Noop, noop, I got
one liver, dude, I am not wasting it on this, all right,
fair, this is gone by right Flipping over though to the beer you
brought. So this is We talked about this on last week's show, and
then I got flooded with pictures from our listeners on social media of beers that
are on the shew, the Christmas beers. They've landed and so long and
behold. I go out to my local beer retailer and I was going,
you know, I'm gonna pick up some beer from the show, and boom,
there we are in caps of the Christmas beers, including an en cap
of the Shiner Holiday Cheer and it's albrew with peaches and a cons And this
gotten a little bit of a discussion last week. Brian that Chad was like,
do peaches belong Christmas beer? No, there's nothing peach about Christmas traditional
Christmas carol. You don't hear you see the Dickens Christmas Carol where everybody's gathering
around with peaches. I'm sorry, it just no, it doesn't. No,
No, Now, what do you think? What do you say about
this beer? I actually like it? Do you think it's very delicious?
And it's it has a little peach fruitiness to it. And I'm not gonna
lie. It tastes like a winter warmer. It tastes like a holiday beer.
Holed it they call it Holiday Cheer. Yeah, I think it captures
the flavor of the season. And even though we're not in that season,
what the heck I mean we are? I mean the Big Box Doors is
already selling the decorations. It won't be long before, you know, people
take down their Halloween decorations to start putting up the Christmas decorations. It,
I mean, it starts pretty much November tenth. Yeah, and then it
won't be long before the adult contemporary radio stations flip over to Christmas. Meerch
that's happening earlier and earlier and yeah year, but uh, let me let
me tell you a little bit. Let me tell you what I sip here.
I like it. Yeah, the multi flavors are enriched through the use
of multi barley m hm. Oh, and we the cruising cruising, cruising
cruising. You're doing great well. It ensures the smoothness that you know,
it's a subtle peach of pecan flavors on there. It's more satisfying than some
of the other Christmas ales out there or crazy either way. Yeah, that's
what I said. Yeah, but again, this is the shiner holidays year,
a dunkele vison. But yeah, we're kicking our holiday beers off.
This is it. We're doing it right now. We know much more about
beer than you A big word skin talk. Yeah. Anyways, I had
beer in my mouth you know. That's what it was. That's what it
was, just to really come to with some thoughts on this beer. I
like it. I like it. I are a good reader. I like
it. But again, the Shiner Holiday this is, yeah, this is
It's not too sweet and body is light. So I feel like I could
drink a couple of these and you're not going to be sick of the sweetness
and it's not too heavy. But what do you think about the peaches?
I I said, peaches don't belong in Christmas beer, so I'm gonna say
they're breaking the rule and for some reason it works. I would not kick
this beer out of bed, is what I'm saying. I like it,
Brian, I'm not a big fan. Oh you're not, Okay, you
are? What really? You know? What don't you like about it?
I don't like the peaches, that's for sure. Oh I feel like I
get peaches amba cons. Yes, yes, there's a happy medium there.
Now the official What's on Tap Radio Fun Fact of the Week, brought to
you by Who's ever checked Clear? This week. Let's be honest, we
all know why you're listening right now. That's for these fun facts. I
know, and I'm going to cross into a controversial subject here. Yeah,
do peaches belong in Christmas beers? Now we're gonna talk about history because all
the fun facts of the week, guarantee, there's not one fun fact we've
ever done about the future. All been things that have happened in the past.
Yeah, yeah, I mean you can't. I mean we've talked about
ai you know, being future brewmasters, right, but that's something that happened
so fun fact, I can't tell you in twenty twenty six and January fifteenth,
twenty twenty six, brewmaster Roberts. You know, I can't see you
got into Deloreate right and went to the future. No, these are all
historical ones, and this is a sensitive subject, but I think it's one
worth revisiting. And we we uh not too terribly long ago. We had
the grandson of the first black owned brewery in the United States on our show.
Oh that's right, yep, there was the People's Bury People's Brewery.
Yeah. Yeah, we talked a little bit about that great story. The
brewery out of San Francisco, yes, yeah, or it was being brewed
no they I think it was out of Minnesota. But then San Francisco brewery
was remaking the beer. Yeah yeah. And so one of the things that
that gets lost throughout history and people tend to forget this is that history is
written by those who basically win the wars. I mean, if you,
if you win, if you, if you have power, you get to
write history. And what people tend to forget in the grand scheme of everything
and looking over where beer was made and who was making beers. We dig
through ancient civilizations and we have learned that slaves in Egypt and throughout history were
fed a diet, a regular diet of beer because it was rich in nutrients,
it was healthy. It's actually pretty cheap to make. It wasn't really
high ABV beer. It was pretty low alcohol content. I bet you tastes
like crap. Oh yeah, you know it did they got yeah, they
got the they got the brew dog bushwood of the beer is going on.
No, no, no, no no, you got the slop and the
slurry. But they were fed a regular diet of beer. And so sometimes
workers would be paid in beer, but also slaves were fed a regular diet
of beer. Now fast forward all the way to stories like what we talked
about with the People's brewery, and you got to ask yourself, how is
it that we just discovered the people's brewery in such a just a small window
more recent times, It's like, why haven't we been talking about this for
years? Why is this like hidden history? Well, it's because what I
said, for whatever reason, we didn't capture this and write this down in
history. Well, it turns out that all throughout Europe it was discovered that
African tribes and African nations and colonies were very versed in the art of fermentation,
particularly in warm climates, and when they were captured as slaves and sold
throughout Europe, they were exploited for their talents and there is very little record
of their brewing. But turns out that African slaves who were taken to Europe
were a major contributor to the success of the brewing industry during that time.
But your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the Week brings us to
the other side of the pond, to the colonial Americas in the USA,
none other than Thomas Jefferson, who was an avid brewer. Does he know,
Oh no, well he's dead. Yeah, he hasn't listened. He
didn't listen to the show. Whenever he was around, though, well,
he had the Monticello Plantation, and Thomas Jefferson was known for his brewing skills.
However, Thomas Jefferson not much of a brewer, and that is because
his beer was brewed by none other than yes American craft beer pioneer, an
African slave, Peter Hemmings. That's right, the legendary Thomas Jefferson, the
pioneer, one of the pioneer colonial patriots of this fine nation, got credit
for beer being brewed at the Monticello Plantation, but it was brewed by none
other than Peter Hemmings, one of his slaves. So to one, Peter
Hemmings. By the way, Avery Brewer Company made a beer in honor of
Peter Hemmings. Thank you very much for doing that. We raise a toast
to the brewers who were not recognized, who were taken illegally and captive and
slaves and exploited for their talents. So to you, Peter Hemmings, the
official brewer of Thomas Jefferson, And that's your official What's on Tap Radio fun
fact of the week. That was a good fun fact. Yeah, OK.
Park Brewing brewed the people's beer and I think I have one of those
beers in my fridge. All right, you gotta take a break still to
come on this episode, we're going to talk about a quick trip giving out
free beer, and there's a beer bracelet out there. It's not a good
thing. All right, we'll talk about that. All this is so much
more. We'll be right back. Believe in something they say, we believe.
We'll have another beer. This is What's on Tap Radio. Back to
James and Chad. All right, welcome back to What's on Tap Radio.
A lot to get to on this episode. We've got a lot of exciting
stories as always. But Chad was like, hey, I want to kind
of do something. I'm gonna get off the freeway real quick. I want
to take a side road. Uh, totally off script, which is fine.
We like when it's you know, off script every now and in.
But I'm not exactly sure where we're going. But Chad was like, hey,
I'll take the wheel yep. So all right, all right, all
right, so I'm gonna sit back and you know, enjoy my holiday cheer.
Not exactly sure where we're about to go. I want you to enjoy
that holiday cheer. No I am I am, but you know, we
we did have to pour out. The dog is down the drain. We
did do a drain. Poor. I feel bad for the municipality here in
Harris County. They've got to they've got to find something to do. That's
all going down the drain. Is it that bad? Yes? It really
was not not not good, not not No. Although the I want to
keep the can for my collection because I love good marketing, and I mean
the cans look's pretty cool. Yeah, it's got the little gopher on it.
But is it labeled as a Berlin of ice, because that's what it
kind of tastes like. No, it's just it's actually labeled as a Pilsner.
Says it right there, dude, see Chris Pilsner. Yeah, Pilsner,
that's it. But it tastes like a Berlin avice. It tastes like
part notes. Yeah, it tastes like, honestly that that gopher got into
it, and it tastes like a bad decision. Yeah, but really,
yeah, I know, as James would like to say, he said,
more than once, I'd finish that beer. But I'm a big fan of
tomorrow. I do like tomorrow. Yeah. Anyway, so James said during
the break here we were talking about the People's Beer, right, and this
is a legendary in honor of the legendary mister Theodore Max Senior, the first
African American brewery owner, and he opened a brewery in nineteen seventy purchased the
People's Brewery to offer jobs to inner city and minority employees. A great story.
Go listen to our podcast brought to We had the Sun on. We
had a sun was it? Yes? It was his son, I guess,
Theodore Junior. Yeah, right, And I said James, Well,
James says, I think I've got one of those beers still, And well,
it was canned in August of the year that we won't mention. It's
between twenty one, and he's during the plandemic, right exactly between twenty twenty
one and twenty nineteen that year. And I'm gonna go ahead and say we're
gonna crack this open, and we're gonna see if it tastes better than the
Bushwood beer. It does. This is a light logger and it's designed to
you know, just compete with you know, it's it's really kind of a
I don't know if you don't call it pre prohibition or whatever. But it's
just a light, easy drinking American style pilsner. And yeah, oh boy,
well that that yep, that horse is that horse has done turned you.
Wow, some wet cardboard in there. No, it's more like sweet
corn. Oh god. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'm very
fruit I mean, honestly, I'm not mad at it compared to what we
Yeah, that's not good. The oh my gosh. Okay, it was
better obviously when it was fresh, but it's now over. It's over three
years old. Yeah, I mean that's just not You don't age all beers.
So all right, this was an experiment and we wanted to try it.
It failed. Meanwhile, stunt liver Brian Holsen in studio with us,
did not like the Shiner holiday cheer. So I thought, in the spirit
of Christmas, you know, as we know, the true spirit of Christmas,
isn't that the thought counts. It's that you better get me a gift
I want and if not, I'm taking it back to the star. So
that's the real spirit of Christmas. If you don't believe me, just follow
me on social media at Chad the Beer Logic Guy. But James has two
beers in his fridge that are Christmas beers from last year's Christmas pack. I
want to open those up and see if we can get Brian a better gift.
So can you reach into your beer fridge over there? So we were
talking about this on the last episode where the Christmas beers are coming out at
the big you know, the warehouse stores and like the Advent calendar and these
James, we've got two of them here. I want to see if we
can step up our game and offer. Okay, I have two. I
have the Cookies and Cream Porter, and then I also have the cranberry wheat.
Oh, cranberry wheat. Come on, man, So Brian, I'm
gonna let you decide which one you want to open. I have the cranberry
wheat or the Cookies and Cream Porter. What do you want to go with?
He's like really, like, I know, I know. It's like
it's like we asked him, you know, like we should be like price
is right? I know, cookie cook I know, I know. It's
like Brian, it's it's not that big of a decision. It's not like
we asked you what your favorite trade about your wife is. I mean you
know, come on, what's your favorite child? Which one do you want
to go with? The cookies and greenport? All right, we're gonna right
cark choice, all right, crack that thing open, Brian, you're gonna
you're gonna do the honors and the whole point of this again the holiday cheer
from shiner Brian didn't like. And you know, in the spirit of Christmas,
take that thing back. Let's get another one. Let's try another Christmas
beer. And I'm gonna go ahead and pour a little bit here, James
coming around to you, and we will find out this is a year old
and they're like four years old. Okay, right, you know how long
he's ad been calendar beer's been sitting on those shelves. The overwhelming majority of
these beers last year weren't good. Then we're betting that age didn't do it.
It smells sweet. It does. Wow. Yeah, it's like smells
like a liquefied I mean seriously, like liquid chocolate. It does spell like
liquid chocolate. Yep, James gets your what are you picking up on that?
Brian? What do you got? Brian? It is really really sweet.
It's very very sweet. I mean, definitely taste a cookie. Oh
my gosh, it does taste like a cookie. I have a cavity.
Wow, that is sugary and sweet. Oh my goodness. I'm not mad
at it. I'm not mad either, but Brian is one of the better
advent beers I've had? Is this better than the holiday cheer? I'm asking,
Brian Stunt Liver, Brian Holsen. Yeah, much better? Oh you
think so? Okay, Okay, see I this is too much for me.
It says it's a porter with natural flavor of caramel, color, red
dye number five or whatever. I mean, come on, dude, what
other chemicals did they throw in this thing? But yeah, I mean this
is the avant beers crafted for the holidays, cookies and cream porter. Yikes.
Yeah, this is seriously this mm hmmm. Who creates these beers?
Well? This is actually a brewery from Minhouse Brewery out of Monroe, Wisconsin.
Monroe, Wisconsin. You heard it? No, you said it?
No? Hear it is? Yeah? Is that right? Yes? It's
Monroe, Wisconsin. Say that, Yes, it's exactly Say it again,
James, is it? How do you say it? Then? Area?
It says Monroe? It's Monroe, dude, Well, it depends on where
you're from? What em fastists are you going to put on? Which salable?
Okay, it's Monroe from Monroe. That's what I like. If he's
changed to see with the ams Conroe. I mean, what do you think?
I want to thank you for tuning in where we are broadcasting from Hugh
Stone in Texas. Here, all right, what do you want to crack
this one? Now? Might as well. I mean, let's get nuts.
I mean we're in, we're knee deep in this segment here again,
thanks for tuning in. What's on tap radio where right now? What we're
doing is we're trying to redeem the beers we brought to the table. The
first beers that we brought to the table. We brought the brew dog Bushwood
pilsner, hoppy pilsner, which has notes of lemon and you know what has
notes of I'm just gonna say it, I mean, being hoard right down
the drain. It was not a good beer. I can't drink this yet,
Chad, because the poor has taken over the entire glass. So you
can, of course, you're gonna pour a cranberry. Well, what you
do is is you chug your glass right there because you only had a little
bit in that holiday cheer glass. Just finish it, all right, just
do it? Yeah quick, yeah, there you go. See it was
only like an ounce. Just and then use your cranberry week to rinse.
Adjust your palate. That's enough. Just take us a little swig, adjust
your palate and have another. So James likes to rinse his glasses in between
tastes, and that's the smart thing to do. But if you can't do
that, use the next beer you're going to drink to put a little bit
in. Swish it around your glass, take us take a swig and then
top it off. Brian holds and making faces here. I'm gonna go ahead
and do the same James. Oh god, that's awful. That's awful.
Oh that's terrible. Not a fan. This is what's on tap Radio,
the drain Poor episode where I mean, oh wow, that's terrible. Smells
like a smells like a jar of sweethearts. I feel like Brian's about to
throw up. What do you think about that one? Brian? That's the
worst one, the worst one. That's that's that's oh that is that's that
somebody crushed up sweet tarts and threw it in carbonated water that is terrible.
And this is an ale natural ale with natural cranberry flavor. I see,
I'm not a big fan of Cranberry's. I've never been a big fan.
I like when they say natural cranberry flavor. When they say natural cranberry flavor,
that doesn't necessarily mean it has Cranberry's in it. From Monroe, Monroe,
Monroe, shut up, Tomato, Tomato. Anyways, I'm sure they
make great beer. Oh yeah, I'm sure they do. I mean,
this is the Beatdown edition right here, the beat Down segment. I really
am finding it hard to believe that we have gone through this many beers and
we really have not. I'm gonna have to break for emergencies only. Oh
yeah, I break the glass and get a get a winner out because we
have to turn the show around. I think I might have to do that
because I like, we're gonna lose Brian. Brian's like, I'm never going
back. I know, why would I come in? Listen, stunt,
Listen, there's a limit to the stunts I'll pull. It's a stunt,
beer liver, but listen, you can't just throw me out of the plane
and then tell me, well, there might be a parachute. I packed
it myself, but I get I was really tired when I did it,
though, and I've never packed a shoot in my life. But you'll be
fine. Bright, all right, thanks for sticking around while we decided to
destroy our palettes and our liver with some really bad beer and a lot of
it. Feels like we should hit all controlled delete and just start over.
Just start all right, that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna hit all
controlled delete. We're gonna reset the beer. We're gonna open a new beer.
We're gonna bring something I'm gonna reset. I'm gonna bring it back to
the to life here, all right. We're gonna take a break, but
still to come. The beer bracelet. It's not a good thing. And
move over, Olympics. There's some new games in town. We'll talk about
that. All this is so much more. We'll be right back. The
only thing we throw back on Thursday, he's a pint of beer or two
or three. This is what's on tap radio. Back to James and Chad.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, around the jingle bell.
Somewhere right now, somebody is decorating their house for Christmas. That is definitely
happening right now. Somewhere someone was listening to this program and just changed the
chance. I don't worry. You don't want to leave us. We got
a lot of good stuff. No, no, no, if you're if
you're hearing me say that, you didn't leave, but someone did and they're
gonna miss out on the rest of this great program. There's a lot of
good stuff on tap this week. But you know, anytime now the adult
contemporary radio stations are going to flip. And when they do, oh,
I mean they used to be to be Thanksgiving Day, that used to be
when the stations used to flip. But now they flip it even earlier.
You know why they do this, right, you worked in radio for seventeen
years. I didn't. It's a ratings generator. People love holiday music,
oh my god, and so they want to get their Q four books and
they want to get those Q four books. And nobody knows what the Q
four book is. They look at ratings and based on the quarters, oh
the quarters, the fourth quarter Q four Okay, so they get the fourth
quarter ratings. And it's always during the holiday season because people are driving around
going you know, shopping and they're listening to Christmas music, or they have
the Christmas music playing why they're decorating their house or maybe wrapping presents, And
so they flip it earlier and earlier each year because Generator Fund fun story little.
I saw a friend of mine who loves Christmas Vacation just oh, that's
a great movie Love Chase. Yeah. Yeah, So it was pre Halloween
and took a photograph, put it on a social media page and said first
viewing of the year. And I thought already, And he says, but
I didn't pick it, which makes me so happy. And I was like,
he didn't pick it, and then it dawned on me. He's single
and he lives at home. He blamed it on the dog. He has
a dog, and he said that this is a dog who picked the move.
Here's how I'm thinking about what happened here. He probably he probably was
watching something, maybe dozed off, and then dog picked up the remote.
That's what I did. Yeah, And then he walked. He woke up,
and then whatever he was watching before, maybe it was Office Space,
and then whatever he was watching before was now over, and now the Christmas
vacation was on. He was like, well, you know what, I
don't know who the remote is. I'm pretty comfortable, I'm snuggled up.
I might as well just watch it. We're not watching Turner and Hooch again,
so noth of that many ways. Anyway, speaking of not doing that
again, we have tried over and over to find a beer that we could
all agree on, and we have struck out almost to the end of the
first hour of this program. It's time to hand the keys to someone who
can hopefully bring this show back on the rails. Uh stunt Liver. Brian
holds an in studio as here on the West Side. When TV people come
in, look we got this. Yeah, and you know Brian going around
with Justice Sapleton in his new segment when he's going around named drop for Stapleton,
Yeah, you do, all right. But Stapleton has this new gig
where he what's the name of the gig, what's the name of the bit,
Brian that he goes around and interviews these different breweries. He's doing great
to right because you know what, here's the thing. I told him to
stick his head down the cooler and he's trying to decide which cooler or which
beer to bring out. Don't worry, we'll we'll we'll make sure we get
to We'll get the proper plug. But get the beer out. Let's go.
And meanwhile, I saw this cool can. I thought one marketing selling
beer. Yo, this is gold. Oh my gosh, hit it,
dude. Oh there it is Ultra Mitchello Ultra Mitchello. I'm cracking it open.
I am opening it because it's got to be better than what we've been
drinking. The turner Mitchello Ultra. Oh my gosh, how light that is?
Yes, this is the hyper light Michael. Oh wait, hyper light
that belongs that Mitchello Ultra. Yes, I can't believe we're drinking this.
You. I said I was gonna be petty and I was gonna bring bad
beer to the show. I don't even know if I've ever had Hey Mitchello
Ultra before. I don't know if I have. Dude, this is funny
because Brian, I think a pettiness, decided he was going to bring because
we brought bad beer, He's gonna bring you know what Brian should have done.
This is for next time. Just say, hey, I'm gonna do
a blind taste test. What do you think about this beer and chat and
I like, you know what us good? I get some good, clean
notes. You know, I'm a big fan. This is the best beer.
Then we pull out and then you pull out the Mitchello. We have
opened four beers on the show. This now the fifth beer. Michelob Ultra
mitchell Lowbaltra. Sorry sorry ma here Mitchello. Okay, and this is the
best beer we have had on the show. So man, will you please
open another beer so we can for our listeners out there. I'm gonna make
good on this. So here's what I brought Galfson Bay their coffee stout.
All right, now we're talking here we go. All right, man,
that's the real beer. I was all right, I see what Brian did.
He wanted us some rents our palette, right, and this Mi Mi
mit Mitchello. For those that are listening around the country, we have a
mayor. His name's Mayor Sebuster Turner. And one day he was announcing some
sponsors of this event, and one of the sponsors was mitchell O Ultra.
So he was reading I mean, honestly, it was like saying it was
like saying Monroe Monroe, Louise or was different or minute tomato to Hearria,
Illinois. All right, anyways, I want to get to the story real
quick. There we're talking about brew Dog. We're talking about Christmas beers,
Harpoon Brewery. Now, I remember about twenty twelve thirteen. I remember being
at a beer festival and someone going, man, hey, they got Harpoon
here, Harpoon's here, Oh my goodness, and so we're really Harpoon and
so we all lined up at the Harpoon tent. And now Harpoon is you
know, they've been in the market for a while, and they've come out
with their dunkin Donuts beer and all that. But now they have come out
with this new holiday pack, and Harpoon IPA has just released these limited edition
twelve packs to retailers throughout the distribution footprint. And if you could find a
twelve pack containing one golden can, you'll be an instant winter Wait a minute,
didn't brew Dog already do? I mean? Kind of? Except they

want to get in on this fun, exciting twelve pack scavenger hunt. I
don't know if it's really a scavenger hunt. I don't know, you know,
go out there and get yourselves a holiday twelve pack, which is probably
on the shelves now. I gotta wonder in the marketing department, if they
were sitting around it was like, okay, what are we gonna do?
And somebody says, well, my kid just watched Willy Wonka on the Chocolate
Factory. I got this idea. And then somebody else said, you know,
I think somebody already did that. I can't remember who. I can't,
nor will anybody else. I think this has been done once or twice
before. And it's like, all right, let's go with a new idea.
All right, what's the new idea same as the old one. All
right, let's try that. I don't I don't understand. I mean,
I get it. You want to put a golden can in? All right?
Yeah, it's exciting because you know, there's a lot of Harpoon fans
out there and they're going, you know what, maybe this is a twelve
pack and I'm gonna be one of these epic winners think about is the chances
of winning are pretty high. Here's my question, is this enough to get
you? Would would you go buy it just for the chance to find the
golden can? If you saw it in your grocer in the on the on
the on the cold shelf and it was just in there. It's like I
wasn't buying harpoon before, but now that I got a shot at a golden
cane, it would be funny. It's like somebody who buys it and goes
Hey's golden can cool, and then you trying to throw the recycling. That
would be That reminds me of the first guy the Great American Beer Festival who
won the hate the gold for Hazy I p A. He's like, I
hate hey, Hazy I pas and he won the gold. All right,
we gotta take a break, so come we're gonna bring better beer, and
uh, we're gonna talk about a hold my beer and watch this. The
beer brace is not a good thing. Talk about that all coming up?
And now we number two, what's on tap? Rady? It will be
right back. And the teacher said, no, Bobby, there's no such
time as bureau clock fire that teacher. This is what's on Tap radio,
Father of mine? Demware have you been? You know? I just close.
My world is up. Go shout out to all the days. Dad's
out there back to the day. Is it Father's Day already? It's never
too early to start preparing for Father's Day. I love you dad. Oh
yeah, that's right. This summer I saw people with Christmas decorations in the
big box stores. Well, it's now time you get ready for Father's Day.
Nobody cares about Father's Day. It's all about Mother's Day. It's gonna
say we have we haven't even done Mother's Day yet. No, but New
Year's Day for crying out loud. It all makes sense here in a little
bit. But uh, welcome to What's on Tap Radio? Hour number two
got Chad hanging out, Brian hols In and Brian he clussed our palates with
the MICHAELA. Ultra and then it's like, hey, guys, that's just
kidding. And then he brought this Galveston Bay Brewing Captain's Coffee stout. I
was just telling the guys during a break, I am really just stoked about
everything Galveston Bay is doing over there in Dickinson, Texas. That new brewery.
I stumbled in there. And I don't mean that that. It's not
like I was drunk. Story though, that's a great story. It was
the craziest thing. I was in town recently, on the south east side
of Houston and somebody I said, you know, I've heard about the new
Galveston Bay Brewery. I haven't been there. How far is it? And
somebody says, like ten minutes away. I said, let's go. Yeah.
So I walk in and I walk in the door and I see there's
our buddy Rodney Campbell cast Branding sitting there, and I was like, what
the heck's he doing here? And I started looking around the room and I'm
seeing all kind of people, hug you was there, all kinds of people,
Thomas And I'm looking around Thomas, Yeah, oh beer bo, Yeah,
that Thomas too, and I'm I'm just looking around and I'm like,
holy crap, I know all these people. What is this? Like?
Was this staged? Is my wife gonna pop out from behind the bar like
surprise? I called, all your friends are here, and I'm like,
what the heck? It was the Texas Craft Brewers Guild meeting going on at
the brewery and I was just stopping in for a pint and they're like,
oh, you got you came to the meeting and I was like, no,
I wasn't came to get a beer. That's all I wanted to do.
But man, it was good to see everybody. And that's one of
the things I miss whenever I moved to Michigan. I missed the food.
I missed the people. I want to give a shout out just see all
the craft brewers guild out there. I mean Texas has a great one,
but other states Louisiana, Florida, Michigan, Gilt, Iowa has a great
one as well. Yeah, they're doing great things for the state. So
yeah, they get together. I think I forget what Monday it is the
month, but they all get together and they're trying to improve the Crapier community.
So that's very cool that how you walked into that, that's like,
yeah, Kenney Kennedy started wow wow wow, Yeah, so cool location.
They've done a great job. Speaking of doing a great job, Brian Holsen
brought the show back together with a good beer the coffee Stole. It's amazing,
But I feel like it's time for me too. I'm gonna I'm gonna
do your part. I'm gonna do a nice surprise. This is one of
my favorite, my new favorite beers. Anytime I can find it, I'm
getting it from our friends in Austin, Texas. Oh is this hold on
it is? Tell me say it, Sash. It's the secret stash.
It's the secret stash, the secret stash, India PL double dry hopped India
PL. From our friends over at Independence Bury Company. And I'm doing the
you go ahead that well, I'm gonna pull a Spradley. This one's mine.
Where's yours? Open it slow because I just kind of just dropped it.
So all right, okay, but yeah, this is a double dry
hopped India PL and uh yeah, from Austin, Texas, Independence Bury Company.
And give a shout out to Amy Cartwright. Yes. So if you
are a fan of the show and you've listened for a while, you know,
anytime there's stash involved, this is a great I p a. Just
smell the get your honker in there, Oh, smell the aromas. Just
straight dank. This is yeah. Now, this one's a little ball and
this one's a little bit different. This one, this is a secret stash.
Yeah, this is a secret stash. Yeah, this is the double
dry hopped one. This is stash but double dry hops. Yeah that's a
punch right in your mouth. Wow. So wow, I had that one
in there. I was like, you know what I have, Chad and
Brian Studio, hait me that can. I'm gonna I know what you're getting
ready to do. I'm gonna check this can out here. Hold my beer
and watch this brought to you by the Ring Malda ten Hacen Insurance Group where
they'll cover you for just about everything except this. Okay, Brian, are
we good on this water? We are very good. All right. That's
the secret stash from Independence Brewing Company. All right, all right, hold
my beer and watched this time. Let's talk about Father of the Year.
Okay, because this guy ain't it? Okay, so I'm still in the
running. Yeah you sell is Brian's So this guy's chances at Father Year just
like a big hit. So it's a thirty year old named Colby park Parker.
Colby Parker, and he called the cops one Monday night because he thought
his child had been kidnapped. He said that he had left them in the
car while he ran into the grocery store. But when he came back,
they were gone. Whoa, that's scary. That's really scary. Cops immediately
started searching. They even brought the canine units in, and they coordinated a
search effort with the other police departments in the area. And they also started
looking through the store security footage and that's when they realized something, something's a
little off. Chad. Well, yeah, let's go to the tape.
Let's look at the tape. So when they realized that the reason why Colby
couldn't find them in the car was because he had forgotten the kid at home.
Oh ooh, yeah, I'm laughing, but that's not funny. No,
it's not so. Cops went to the house after about an hour after
he had reported the child being missing, and the kid was there just fine,
watching TV. Mm hmmm uh. But Colby isn't fine though. Yeah.
They breathalyzed him. Oh, this is when it comes out. Yeah,
he had been drinking and he was hammered and he had actually driven to
the same grocery store twice that day. His kid was actually with him the
first time, but not the second time, and that's what tripped him up.
Ah, so they called a family member to pick the kid up.
Colby was arrested for drunk driving, child endangerment, and a breach of peace.
So, yeah, he's gonna have to pay back the search effort that
took place. Oh yeah, looking for the time, Yeah, that's like,
yeah, that's like pulling the fire alarm when there's no fire, calling
nine one one when you don't have an emergency. Yeah, I mean you
fake something. Well I'm not saying he faked anything here, but there was
a story that hit news earlier this year that this woman had seen this baby
on the side of the road, and so she got out of the car
to search for the baby. She calls ninety one one and all of a
sudden, abruptly hangs up on the nine woman operator. And for three days
they started to search party and all this it turns out she had faked the
whole thing. Of course, she got arrested. I think she's served a
year, serving a year in jail. But she has to pay back all
this money. Yeah, all the resources it takes to, you know,
search for a missing child. And this is exactly what's gonna happen. So
again, a drunk dad reported his child missing. Turns out he had just
forgot them at home. Remember, folks drink responsibly. Yeah and yeah,
that's that just like it's it's kind of funny, but it's really not.
The kids are okay, the kids are fine. Okay, that's all about
now. They're with a family member. But it turns out this guy's in
jail and kids are fine all right. But again, yeah, this has
been brought to you by our good old friends rinaldoton Han Insurance Group, well
little you know, and surting for lots of things, many things, car
insurance, I'm sure, maybe some boat insurance yep, but not turn this
guy, that's for sure. Or if your store in your cars for winter.
Yeah, they'll give you storage insurance. That's a great offer to you.
All right, shout out to them. All right, we're gonna take
a break. Still a com move over Olympics. There's a new competition in
town. And also, uh beer bracelet, Why that's not a good thing.
We'll be right back. If you encounter wine snobs, just take a
full class of wine and put it to your ear. Mines will be blown.
This is what's on tap radio. If you're here in West Michigan and
you have insurance needs, why not support somebody who supports us ring all the
ten Hacen insurance. Reach out to our buddy John Klunder. That's ringing all
the ten Hacen insurance RTI Grand Rapids dot Com one two. Bring in Folk
Snoop Doggie Dogg and Doctor Drake. Is that Ben Do? And Champion Chad
and Brian we're here too. Welcome back to What's on tab Radio. Looking
at a plethora of beers that we cracked about the show. More bad ones
than good ones. Yeah, this is a strange one and I'm going to
cross over here because we just opened the double dry hopped Secret Stash at IPS
real fast from Independence Brewing Company, So real quick, if you're not familiar
with it, Austin Bury Independence Bring Stash I p A Stash regular Stash Dank
and Resinus. They call it the chronic of I p A s Why because
it's dank, is dank and piney and resiny. It's it's like a big
bag of weed. It's delicious and I love that West Coast just awesome stash
I p A. So we opened up the secret Stash this first time I've
had this beer. I was so excited, poured it in my glass.
I'm like, I don't smell weed, I don't smell pine, So I'm
I decided to see what it says on the old untapped app Oh, it
is an impactful aromatic compound that invokes intense tropical in citrus character. Yes,
and that's what I got. I was like, why doesn't it taste like
Stash? I am not a big fan of tropical IPAs and so unpopular opinion.
I was not a fan of that beer. It's enough of that guy.
That's enough that guy, Brian. Brian now holds it on second mic.
Right now, welcome to what's on tabrity, welcome kill my mic.
Thanks. I'm telling you, I was so excited about this beer, and
I was like, yeah, secret Stash. I thought maybe it was just
gonna be an even more intense version. It's super intense. It's a punch
right in the mouth, but it's citrusy, and it's just I'm not I'm
the polar opposite, like I want all this IPAs and how do you feel
about tropical IPAs. I'm not as big a fan of tropical IPAs, but
I do like them a lot. Do you like this one? I did
like that. That's good. Yeah, I know you're talking about. I
poured a little bit and I didn't need anymore. But you know what,
We've got lots of beers that we've poured out. And I know a lot
of people thinking, man, you guys are opening a lot of beers.
Well, there's three of us and most of it went down the drain.
But speaking of going into the archives, now, this is a fresh,
fresh batch of what I have in my hand. But speaking of archives,
do you guys remember what these things are called. It's a bomber, Yeah,
a twenty two ounce bottle. When we started this show, we had
a lot of those. That was over ten years ago. Can you believe
they still make bombers? Not many of them though, No. And so
I'm gonna crack this open. And this comes from real ale in Blanco,
not Blanco Blanco, Texas and the Hill Country of Texas. Yes, And
this is the one of my favorites, Sisiphus barley wine. And if you're
not familiar with this, I'm speaking about Greek mythology. I am not talking
about a venereal disease. It's sissyphis okay, not syphilis, all right,
So just so you're clear, this is a twenty two ounce bottle of ten
percent barley wine. And I'm gonna pour heavy because I brought it and I'm
a barley wine Well obviously you can pour heavy. It's a bomber. So
I love barley wine. I'm still enjoining this coffee stout Captain's coffee style from
Gallas and Brew. This is really solid, dude. Okay, this is
this is a golden colored barley wine with a beautiful white thick head on that.
That's just gonna a lot of protein in there. Holding up, let
me have a sip. What year is this from? Is this this year's
Oh my, Brian, you can have second mic. I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna go. I'm leaving, dude. This is amazing. Oh yeah,
this is this is This is hoppy, multi boozy, so balanced and
clean. It's like when I say balanced, I mean equal punch in the
mouth of the Bilderness and we'll punch in the mouth of malt. I didn't
think I don't like it, but I'm a fan. I love this.
Oh this is so good. You definitely get dark fruit on there. Some
prune notes some raisin raisin. Yeah, it's a little bit of raisin,
but it's not it doesn't taste old. It's not an ox size. This
is fresh. No, it's as fresh and it's not as dark. No
I thought it would be. It's yeah, it's like a gold it really
is golden light copper, right, copper there it is. Yeah, a
good way to describe it. Nice beer. Right, So we're making good
on all those drain ports we had in the first hour. What's on top?
Yeah, we had to because tell you what, I'm gonna shift gears
here kind of pickingbacking it off our hold my beer and wash. This is
a perfect segment to introduce this new bling that might be you might be seeing.
It's not a good thing though. Now this has started in Wales and
now it's moving into England and it won't be long before we probably see it
here in the United States. But criminals in England who commit alcohol fueled crimes
are now required to wear ankle tags that monitor that are sweat every thirty men.
The so called sobriety tags will alert the Probation Service if alcohol is detected
in their sweat sample. Offenders caught breaching that their drinking band could face fines
in further sentence and courts, and the scheme is being launched in England following
a successful rollout in Wales last year. I feel like we're kind of talked
about it. I think a little bit of it, but I guess it
caught on in Wales now they're introducing in England. More than one hundred defenders
have been tagged in Wales and remained sober more than ninety five percent. So
there, that's some good news. Of the days they were monitored. Crime
and Policing Minister said that these tags have already brought enormous benefit to Wales since
they've introduced in October, with one offender they met saying that it's not only
changed their ways and also saved his life. Wow. Yeah, they're saying,
hey, look man, I needed this. I couldn't do it on
my own. Now I need to get the monkey off my back. I
needed this bracelet. The smart and powerful new tool is helping fight against alcohol
fuel violence which ruins two too many lives and families and creates mayhem and our
towns and centers. That's what they said. The tax can be distinguished the
difference between drinks and other types of alcohol. Wow, these are some very
sophisticated tools here, I would say, such as hand sanitizer and perfume.
So it can detect whether it's alcohol from a beverage versus hand sanitizer and perfume,
and they work twenty four to seven and can also tell if someone tries
to block contact between the device and their skin. So maybe they try to
slide a little band aid in there. Oh yeah, but yeah, So
a new beer bracelet hitting the rounds in England. Well, I was gonna
say, coming to a community near you, I have a feeling this is
gonna take off. And I mean we we already have here in the US
bracelets for criminals, you know, for well, ankle monitors, ankle monitors,
right, I mean, why wouldn't you include this? I think they
had the breadth things in the car weet to blow before you can start the
car. Yeah, you've got those. And then I remember one time I
was at a bar. I'm not gonna say which one, but there was
a young lady who walked in. I used the term lady used loosely.
She walked in and she was already under the influence and sat down and ordered
another drink and somebody said, aren't you on parole? And she said yeah,
are you gonna tell? And then her phone rang and she says,
ohep, it's my parole officer, Like, well, you think they're monitoring
that you through her phone? I don't think they were monitoring at all.
They were just doing a random check to find out where she was. And
so she had to run outside and take the at the grocery store because you
have to. Yeah, you have to take a you have to take those
calls. And when they call and they gotta we want to know your whereabouts
and we want to check everything. And she's like speep, yeah, man,
so so interesting. Yeah, beer bracelet is sobriety. Ankle tags introduced
for criminals who commit alcohol fueled crimes. And I can see that taking off
here in the estates here and you know, maybe next year, if it's
successful in Wales and if it also is successful in England, you know,
maybe the courts cancide. Maybe that's something they want to introduce here. Maybe
they can do it real quick. We're so cracking beers here. I want
to I'm almost out of I want to talk about this story we talked about
last week, Chad. Uh, this sing Tao brewery. There was this
viral video that went around of this guy urinating in the beer tanks. We
talked about this last week. Yeah, it was on the ingredients. Yeah,
on the ingredients. Yeah. And this was a video that went viral
all over social and China and then made its way all across you know,
TikTok and so forth, and it was made national news. Well, Chad,
I got something report about this. Oh yeah. This actually inspired a
local music artist to come out with their own song called Whizzing and a Brewery.
No, please zip up your pants. This is a bottling plan.
You know. The children ran. You better step on back before you fall
in the tape. Don't be Advanu just nobody wants to drink it. You're
wizen in the brewy. It's yellow with foam man. I ain't talking Lebruski.

up your copy at Tower Records. Yeah, that's what we do. You're
all ones on tap radio. All right, We're gonna take a break.
Still come the Olympic Games. That's yesterday's news. There's a new games coming
to town that might pique your interest. We'll get the details on that.
All this is so much more. We'll be right back on average, humans
walk nine hundred miles per year and drink twenty two gallons of beer, which
means the average human gets forty one miles per gallon. Not ben what's on
tap d continues, boy boy plug our social media at what's on tap radio?
Facebook, twit on Instagram, get ahold of us at what's on tap
rido, Gmail dot com. In on my head out west. What's the
last time you listened to some kid rock? Depends? Were you watching Fox
News or are you listening? Who's driving around right now with kid rock on
our playlist? I remember I went to a kid rock concert when I used
to do rock promotions back in my college days. But on a pretty good
show. Oh he does a great show. I mean this was what two
thousand and four. Don't take the kids though, No, no, no,
he had like pretty much strippers on stage. I mean there aren't like
actually stripping, but they were not far from stripping. That was somebody's daughter
up there. Oh, Yeah, us just saw a bunch of broken dreams
and daddy issues on stage, and there are a whole lot of words that
we can't say on this program. No, we can't now because we are
broadcast and so FCC. They like to listen. They're they're big fans of
the show, but they don't like that. That doesn't mean we get to
get away with saying whatever. We don't. We follow the guidelines. But
the other the other place you saw them recently, if you were, if
you were listening to them, maybe YouTube, probably, yeah, probably,
But we're about to get in the story that apparently, but lights it's trying
to win back some drinkers. Yeah, that's right. They're trying to win
back some drinkers here, and I think this plan might work. You mean,
free beer didn't work. Cases of beer for a dollar didn't work.
Man, Sometimes you just gotta keep grabbing the tool box. I know they
partnered with Rich, not that Rich didn't work. Give me a socket nine
sixteenth, all right, that didn't work. Yeah, the little bit of
chicken fried cold beer on a Friday night didn't work. So the stock keeps
tank and the sales keep going down. All right, we got one more
straw we can grab at. Let's see if this works. Here it is,
ladies and gentlemen, bud Light is about to reclaim the title as America's
best selling beer and your favorite beer. And how do we know that?
Well, because we know the marketing department is hard at work with a brand
new partnership with UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship. I think this could work. It
might, I think it could well. The Mixed Martial Arts Organization UFC revealed
that they have struck a multi year deal with beer giant Anheuser Busch or ABM
BEV, involving the bud Light brand having a heavy presence in UFC's content in
its broadcast an online presence beginning in twenty twenty four. Now this is my
favorite part right here. I love that you know the public relations department was
involved because UFC CEO Dana White said in a statement, there are many reasons
why I chose to go with Anheuser Busch and bud Light, most importantly,
most importantly because I feel we are very aligned when it comes to our core
values and what UFC brand stands for. I love, what are the core
values of two guys or two gals beating the crap out of each other and
collecting a bunch of money on pay per view. And don't get me wrong,
it's a great sport. I love it. But I want to know
what the core values are it's like, and then what are the core values
of light beer? I just want to know. I'm like when somebody says,
you know what, well, you're looking too far? Oh oh am,
I thinking too much. You got to bring it back a little bit.
Yeah, okay, Yeah. He did say though that the furthest thing,
you know, his decision to partner with anazer Bush. The furthest thing
from my mind was the money. Yeah, I'm not sure about this.
How much do you think of that money deal? Was that a lot of
money? I think millions? I don't know. Yeah, you know you're
millions, Oh easily easily. But Dan White did say this, and I
have to agree with this statement here. This is a good he says.
He says Anheuser Busch or ABMBEV employee sixty five thousand Americans, thousands of veterans,
and they spend over seven hundred million dollars a year with US farmers.
So I agree, maybe those are the core but I didn't know that UFC
a combat sport of a very mixed martial arts fighting. Their core value was
the US farmer. I just didn't know that. I was unaware that could
be their demo. That might be one of their demo. It might be.
But whenever I turn on UFC and I'm watching and I like it,
it's a great sport. I think it's I think what UFC has done for
sports is fantastic. I think the UFC parties are great. I think it's
one done for bars and who get the pay per view. I love it,
Dana White. I'm just waiting for a good friend Andrew Mitchell over at
Senate Brewing to start showing the the UFC and that he's a sports bar.
Yeah, rightwing shout out to you guys, love you guys. Yes,
But I just never understood that, I said, say, I don't know
that I ever will understand when UFC says, yeah, our core value the
American farmer. Just not. I mean, I'm not saying you're against the
farmer. I just didn't know that was one of your core values. But
maybe the ones buying a lot of T shirts UFC T shirts, maybe they
are. But anyway, look for butt Light to reclaim the number one spot
on uh beer sales here in the United States. The brewery sponsor before.
I don't know if they had one. I mean maybe they did. Time
is it? Oh? Was it? Uh? Huh? No, Modella?
You knew this. So the current number one. Oh, this is
why Modela is gonna fall. They're currently the number one best selling beer in
the United State. Three we're gonna fall the number two. Why because they
didn't sponsor UFC and bud Light says, yeah, we'll take that deal.
I wonder if they just put more money on the table. Oh, you
know, they didn't. Wonder it's a lot of money. Alright. So,
speaking of sports and combat sports, move over Olympics. You know the
Summer Olympics are next year, but they got some competition this time. Ready
for this one, guys, listen to Florida Man the first ever Florida Man
Games Florida Man Games are set for February and Saint Augustine. All right,
Yes, of twenty twenty four events they got planned are a lot more interesting
than shot put in water polo. Wait a minute, hold, everyone in
Florida can sign up and potentially compete, So is it Florida Man or Florida
Woman or Florida any one the first ever Florida Man Games. Okay, but
it's up you know. It's open to anyone who's has any kind of felony
on their record and not just kidding. Any anyone in Florida can sign out.
They will choose sixteen teams which five people each, and the five events
they got planned will be They got the Beer Belly Florida sumer Wrestling, which
is basically just like summer wrestling without the training and prestige. They have the
Evading Arrest Obstacle course where you'll jump over fences and run through yards while being
chased by the cops. They have the They have the Catalytic Converter, two
bikes, and a handful of copper pikes. Is described as a head to
head match or lets you live a day to life of a Florida Man headline,
which is guessing you have to steal a whole bunch of stuff as fast
as possible. The next one is a weaponized pool noodle mud duel, jousting
with pool noodles while standing on a platform and above ground pool. It's got
to be an above ground pool ing ground pool. No way, that's indeed
restricted community. Florida Man lives with an above ground pool. If you're just
sitting in we're talking about the inaugural of the Florida Man Games. Coming out.
Next on the list is the Category five cash grab. Oh, this
is looting, like one of those boxes where you stand and try to grab
dollar bills and they'll say you're subject to a hurricane force wins. So it's
like one of those two hurricane force wins. Yeah, one of those those
two those like telephone booths. What love it? What contest would be complete
without a mullet contest? Yep, a Florida Mam Beauty pageant. They have
a Florida Mam Beauty pageant. How about a chicken coop bingo where two chickens
will pick the numbers. You know how the chickens pick the numbers? Yeah,
they go around pooping. Yeah, they crap on the number. Whatever
number gets crapped on, that's the call. And the facilities will end with
something called a nine to one to one fight night Brawl of the Badges.
That one appears to be a series of boxing matches between fighters and cops.
Oh my tickets are forty five dollars or one hundred and forty five dollars for
VIP tickets. I'm buying them VIP and you can get through them through Alma
dot com and they enlist two former American gladiators to judge. So two former
American gladiators our favorites, Nitro and Ice Nice and you can get a photo
with them for an extra fifty bucks. No, I don't want to.
No, I don't want No, you lost me right there. It was
a great value at one hundred and forty dollars for the VIP tickets because I
want to be there to see this whole experience. I want the entire experience,
but maybe not the entire experience because I'm not spent spending an extra fifty
bucks just to have my photo taken. More well, I mean, Nitro
and ies aren't doing much these days. No, all the money they can
get. So yeah, if you want to compete, you have till mid
November to register, and their website says that there's no athletic training required.
Oh I love it. You just got to sign the waiver. Yeah,
it's all gonna do. Hey, listen, you do not have to have
a criminal record, nor do you have to have any kind of athletic training.
That would be pretty awesome though, if they gave you, like I
don't know if if you had a handicap, you know where if you had
a criminal record, like you gotta you gotta five you gotta handicap like a
you know, five second delay or something like that. It reminds me of
the I'm Gonna Get you Sucker where they had the first annual Youth Gang competition
where they had to run with TV's getting chased and they yeah, they turned
the police dogs loose after him, and how fast they can strip a car
with trove bars and so forth. And those TVs Man, they were the
big old toom TVs too. They like these light flat screens either getting chased
by domberments. But yeah, the inaugural Florida Man Games will include beer belly
suma in invading a rest obstacle course. So there you go. I think
this is gonna take this will take off. I'm I'm in fact, I
want to sponsor it. What's on tap? Brady wants to be a sponsor.
All right, we gotta take a break still to come in the last
segment, we gotta I gotta feel good story and uh some more beard to
crack. This is what's on taprido hanging with us for one more. We'll
be right back. Beer has hops hops or plants. Plants make salad,
so beer is salad. Yeah. What's on tap Radio? James and Chad
talking about beer. Tantrik Brewing Company, located in Alegant, Michigan, prop
sponsors What's on Tap Radio and located right here in my backyard. Chad Pilbeam,
the beer logic guy, go in there and ask for free What's on
tap high five and check out the amazing beers tantic Brewing, Tantik Brewing dot
com, Tantik Brewing dot com. Last segment of What's on tap Rio for
this week goes out to our longtime heroes Shaft Richard Roundtree died at the young
age of eighty one. Dude, what about Chandler Bing? Oh yeah right,
I mean yeah, man, I know he couldn't I could have played

you know, very sudden, like he was very suspicious round in the
security. Yeah yeah, but Richard Rowntree Shaft and Classic A Bad Mother,
oh Man. Also, this is this segment. The last segment went on
tap Ofo for this week is brought to you by our good friends over at
Tantric Brewing Company. Yes, still talking about this October Fest tap fourteen.
Well, yeah, I think I think we've run that. I think we've
run out of the keg. We've run that thing dry. Which, by
the way, I'm surprised they haven't come out with a Christmas beer yet.
Wait, I'll be there tomorrow. Let me go check. They may have
one. We're gonna tracks another beer here. But before why Brian's pulling out
Because Brian's like, look, guys, it was a complete cluster in the
beginning. We poured more beers out than we've consumed. This is a first.
I think I want to give a little parting gift Chad going back to
Michigan. He's actually a studio USh right now, take this back a minute.
Will you take this back with you to Michigan and drink that sometime in
December? This no, no, no, this will be consumed very soon.
That's the Lone Star. That's a national beer Texas. It's OG.
It's the OG and it's something about drinking a Lone Star in a different state.
YEA, hits different, it does. I mean, you could drink
it here in Texas all you want, but once you drink it like in
Wisconsin, Monroe, Wisconsin, or or Peeria, Illinois, Peria, Illinois,
or Charlotte, Michigan or whatever. It actually pronounced Charlotte in Michigan,
not Charlotte. Wherever you are consuming a Lone Star outside of the state of
Texas, it hits different. It does because you're drinking the national beer Texas.
So I was gonna crack that, but I was like, you know
what, Chad want you just take this back with you. Yeah, check
your luggage because I mean, uh yeah, put check your legge just because
you had this beer. Southwest Airlines man, I am, I got free
bags. Okay, I'm good. Jazz only he has a little batpack carry
on. He's only gonna check it because he has a beer in there.
Oh that's funny. But all right, So why we're cracking another beer.
I will take a picture of all these beers that we've consumed. Yeah,
they think it's consumed. In studio stunt liver Brian holzen KPRC is cracking open
another beer for us to round out the show. Oh wow, Bolivard,
Kansas City, Boulevard's whiskey barrel stout. It is Kansas City, right,
it is Kansas City. Yeah, it's pronounced Kansas City. It's not Kansas
cety Kansas. It's not Kansas, Kansas City, it's Kansas. Yes,
we are notorious for mispronouncing names of towns and cities, and sometimes we'll get
t shirts out of it. Yes you are, and yes you do.
Yes, I've received exactly zero. That's not true. No, it is
good stuff here, all right, Thank you, Brian. We have beautiful
listeners who like to send us correct pronunciation. Holy crap, that might be
the best beer we've had today from Boulevard. Wow. Shout out to our
good friend Scott's Ghannis show. Oh yeah, of a good friend. He's
over at Boulevard. We haven't talked to him in a while. But yeah,
this is the whiskey. I'm not sure if I've ever had a whiskey
barreled stout from Oh I've had this takes seven or takes seven? Is amazing?
Yes, Yeah, this is smooth and a little bit vanilla e and
slight caramel note, but it's not sweet. Before we get out here,
I wanna got some things to tell you for Wisconsin. Speaking of Monroe,
Wisconsin, Quick Trips around the state of Wisconsin are given free beer to Wisconsin
Heights. Now it's a gas station convenience store. Yep. Apparently a Quick
Trips system outrage caused some hassle for patrons and a rack up re war points
and other loyalty program items. But Wisconsin beloved a convenience store is making things
right the only way they know how to. Well, I mean, it's
a beer drinking state. Better give them free beer. You bet you free
beer? You bet you give a shout to that man I love Miles,
all right, that's right. Quick Trip is offering free beer after the system
outage. In their app. All you have to do is verify your age
to op into the age restricted offers and you'll be able to get beer for
free or give beer for free. And the offer expires this month the end
of the month and it's valid for Wisconsin Quick Trips only, but weis consin
ights of age are encouraged to take advantage of this, which includes one free
Miller Light Course Light Course bank with sixty ounce aluminium pint or a twenty four
our single can and this is limited to one per offer. But those looking
to kickstart their weekend head over to a local Quick Trip for free beer.
And this again, this is on the app for Wisconsin Heights. So yeah,
they're apparently their system crash. It's causing a lot of chaos because they're
Wisconsin, ight, it's gonna get their their beer, yeah, or their
quick Trip points, which is interesting because they're giving it out course light,
middle light, course light or of course bank would excuse me, but what's
one beer they I see in most wisconsas Knight's drink. Yeah, so it's
interesting. Okay, but there you go. Hey, free beer for all
you out there in Wisconsin. I know you're listening. We see the data,
we do, all right, so let me take a sip of this.
Hang on, Yeah, you take a sip of that. While you're
doing that. I want to thank our friends at Superior Pest Control of West
Michigan for always sending us stories. And there's a there's a there's a story
from the archives and that we discovered and so this didn't happen yesterday, but
we saw this like we've never talked about this, but this, this is
too good to pass up. This is a good one. Here James has
got his beer poured in his glass. He's happy. Yeah, he's got
his honker in there. Yeah, abb on this. Yeah, it's gonna
high eleven point eight. I was gonna say, really up there at work,
all right? So have Yeah? Well here we'll just tie this in
perfect. James, you're already home. But if you decide to go for
a stroll tonight after drinking this high abb beer, not going anywhere? Yeah,
I was gonna say, but if you did, wouldn't it just suck?
If you were out walking around and forgot how to get home. Well,
I mean that means either A, I'm just really intoxicated, right,
or B I just all of a sudden I got you know, dementia.
Or you just said, ah, this looks like my buddy's house. I
think I'll crash here for the night. Right. I have a story kind
of happened that way, But lucky the person's door was locked. Ah,
very good, Well, because I actually I went I was upstairs and I
went to go grab something out of my car, and I was so try.
I was worried about getting it out of my car that I forgot which
apartment number they were, and that's what I thought was their apartment number.
It's not the right number. I ended up the door was locked, and
so I was like, man, this sys I don't know if this is
right. So I ended up with my friend and they're like, no,
man, I'm in part and blah blah blah. I'm like, oh,
this is not the right part. But can you imagine can you imagine if
the door was unlocked and I just walked in this is not my place.
I know that's crazy. Well, this is a beer drinking episode that just
went a little bit wrong. Because if you imagine being out after a long
night of drinking and you decide to stumble around in the neighborhood and maybe walk
it off, sleep it off, you know, sleep, walk it off,
whatever it is, and you decide to yeah, yeah this, I'm
gonna go over my buddy's house. Well, in this particular case, dude
ended up with a wife. All right, so what you heard me correctly,
guy goes out on a beer drinking bender and he's like, man,
I gotta go over my buddy's house. And he starts going around. He
walks into the wrong house. Well, a twenty two year old woman in
New York comes in, finds this guy sleeping on her couch, calls the
cops and he's immediately arrested. Well, finds out what the real story is
and what happened, and he shows up. You know, after all this
goes down, brings flowers, apologizing and she looks at him and says,
you know what, you know what's gonna make this right? You need to
meet my parents. They started talking, they became friends, shared a beer
two and seven years later they got married. So if you're struggling out there
with the dating apps, what we'd like, what's on Tap Radio would like
to encourage you to do is go out on a drinking bender and just stumble
around the neighborhood and whatever door is open, walk in, lay down on
the couch, and fall asleep. Don't do that, Sclamer chat. We
don't have enough time. Oh yeah, okay, don't do that. But
it does have a happy ending because now the happy couple is starting a family.
So what's started out with a drunken walk around the neighborhood, walking into
the wrong apartment, the cops getting called, ended with flowers, meeting the
parents and now married and having a family. That's a good way to end
the show. So they call the police finding a stranger into the sofa,
and now they're getting married. All right, we gotta say goodbye. I
want to thank Brian holds It for hanging out with us. Also want to
hang out Finger sponsors Tantric Brewing, Superior Pest Control, be AO Logic,
Conference and events we know all to make Insurance Group the back of our girl
of course, sponsoring our podcast cast branding. So for mister Biology Chap,
he'll be Miam James Simpson thing. Thanks for checking on What's on Tap Radio.
