1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,160 This is Beer in Front, part of the Odd Pods Media Network. Sometimes 2 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,720 the beer in front of you is the best one yet. I'll talk about 3 00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:17,199 some old school beers that maybe you've forgotten about, some new beers that have 4 00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:21,879 the potential to be a classic. I'll also talk to various people around the 5 00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:28,000 beer world and get their stories all about beer. That's Beer in Front and 6 00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:38,840 it's coming up now. Welcome to episode one. I don't know an episode, 7 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:45,000 I lost track, but welcome to episode one hundred and seventy something of 8 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:51,280 Beer in Front. I'm your host, Dave's allatorus and Beer in Front is 9 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:57,920 a proud member of the Odd Pods Media Network. I have a good show 10 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,159 for you this week. I talk to Pops on Hops podcast, the hosts 11 00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:08,680 Barry and Abigail Hummel. They put out a great show. I'm going to 12 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,719 talk music and beer from Florida with them. That was a lot of fun. 13 00:01:15,239 --> 00:01:19,680 In a few weeks, I'm going to be on their show and we're 14 00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:26,439 going to talk the great Smitheren's eleven album. I want to thank everyone that 15 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:34,319 listened last week to the Fresh Air Friendship show. That was the best episode 16 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:40,560 as far as downloads and listens I've had in the last six months. So 17 00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:45,000 if you're new to the show, if you listened last week and you're checking 18 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,040 me out, I thank you for listening. That was a fun time. 19 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,760 Please check out Fresh Air Friendship, get your rear ends outside, enjoy this 20 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,560 wonderful weather, take a hike, enjoy a great Illinois beer. But it 21 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,480 was a lot of fun talking with those ladies last week. That was a 22 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,800 great show, and I thank everyone for listening. If you'd like to get 23 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,919 a hold of me, you could reach out to me Dave at beer infront 24 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,800 dot com. You could find me on all the socials, including Blue Sky 25 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,560 and Threads. You could find me over at beer in Front. This podcast 26 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:34,719 started getting traction over on Twitter or x or whatever you want to call it. 27 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,400 I'm dialing away from Twitter, so I'm whittling it down. I'm removing 28 00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:50,280 people I don't interact with anymore, and I'm just not giving Elon. I 29 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,599 create content for Elon. He doesn't dictate what I do. So I'm whittling 30 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,639 away from Twitter, so you could look for me on the other social media 31 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:06,680 platforms. I'll still be on there, and I'm gonna pimp the show because 32 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,319 that's what I do. I'm gonna pimp the show, but personal stuff other 33 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:17,360 things are going to be on every other social media platform that doesn't have an 34 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,520 X involved in it. So hunt for me down. You could look for 35 00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:28,080 me everywhere and follow me at Beer in Front. You'll find me there, 36 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,319 but in the near future, don't look for me over on Twitter. It's 37 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,120 always nice to meet friends of the show in person. And the other day 38 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:45,560 at the airport, I met David Carey. He's a long time friend of 39 00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:50,159 the show. He's been on quite a few times. He's the father of 40 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:55,120 Lauren and John from the beard Al podcast. But he was flying through O'Hair 41 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,439 so I got a chance to meet up with him again. He's a great 42 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,639 guy. It's just fun. And unfortunately that's one of the things that I'm 43 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:13,719 gonna miss about dumping Twitter, is that I met him through Twitter. But 44 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,759 it was great meeting him or not meeting him, because I met him a 45 00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:19,120 year ago when he flew through, but it was great seeing him again. 46 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:25,560 And if you're ever flying through a hair, get a hold of me and 47 00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:29,800 I'll definitely meet up. If you give you a big old hug and a 48 00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:34,279 handshake and you can see me in action where I'm not wearing a black T 49 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:40,519 shirt. You'll see me in a regular shirt and tie and looking all professional. 50 00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:45,319 I won't have a Schlitz head on. I'man looking like a normal member 51 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,079 of society. But it was great meeting Dave again. It's a lot of 52 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:54,800 fun. If you're flying through a hair let me know and I'll definitely meet 53 00:04:54,879 --> 00:05:05,759 up with you. I'm Richie aka Midnight Agent Raw.

I'm honored to have on Abigail and Barry Hummel. 60 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,639 They're the hosts of Pops on Hops, which covers two of my favorite topics, 61 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,920 music and beer. They're based out of Florida, and I'll be having 62 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,839 a beer that they sent over. Abigail Berry, thanks for coming on, 63 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,519 Thanks for having us. Thanks for having us. Dave great to be here. 64 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:02,439 Thanks. Now. The show came out in March of twenty twenty one, 65 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,879 that's correct, that's when we started. What can you tell folks about 66 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:11,839 the show, Well, we'd like to describe it as an exploration of beer, 67 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000 music and family. It kind of came out of the pandemic when we 68 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000 were looking for something to fill some time and we couldn't decide whether we wanted 69 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,920 to do a music podcast or a beer podcast, and at some point one 70 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,680 of us thought of the old Doctor Seuss book Hop on pop Yeah, And 71 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,319 as soon as that came up, it was like, oh, that's it. 72 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,639 We have to do both. And so that's why we merge the two 73 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,279 things together. And so the conceit is that because we're a father daughter with 74 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:43,000 different musical tastes, different aid brackets, that we share albums back and forth 75 00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:46,040 that maybe the others not familiar with, or maybe it's a way to introduce 76 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,240 each other to new even if it's old music. And so that's the format. 77 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,759 We trade albums back and forth. The other one gets to pick a 78 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:58,079 brewery that kind of maybe ties in thematically some way, and then we just 79 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,199 have a conversation and we take ever turn it takes. If we talk about 80 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:06,000 old family stories, how we discovered music, politics comes up because the lyrics 81 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,759 suggest that we go there. It's a very kind of free form show. 82 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:17,639 I love the artwork that you put out for each episode based on the album. 83 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:26,800 Who's the art director of the show? That would now Barry. I 84 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,560 could just imagine, like you're sitting there like texting Abigail, Okay, I 85 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:36,040 need you to like squawk down like Tory Amos and Little Earthquakes. Is that 86 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,759 how this goes? That's exactly how it goes. We have to do it 87 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,120 remotely so many times. Sometimes we're together and we know we have something coming 88 00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:49,800 up. Sometimes we get an album. I gave Abigail the Talking Heads album 89 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:54,600 Little Creatures, and I painted myself into a corner because that album is so 90 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680 complicated. I'm like, oh my god, what am I gonna do? 91 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,439 And I actually painted elements of that cover to try to get the thing to 92 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,759 match. So sometimes the fun is a challenge for me to figure out how 93 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,399 I'm going to replicate some piece of art. I don't choose the albums based 94 00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:13,120 on the covers, so sometimes I really I do get boxed in. Yeah, 95 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720 before we get going on a little farther. I'm gonna have one of 96 00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,480 the beers that you sent over. This is special age. It's a juicy 97 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:26,480 cult. I like the artwork on this can. You should do a podcast 98 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,759 cover with this artwork. I'd like to see you photoshop your face onto this. 99 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,519 I don't know if this is a pigeon or what this is, but 100 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,320 this looks really good. I could do that. I'm already looking at it 101 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,799 trying to figure out how to do that day. The interesting thing is this 102 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,559 comes from Invasive Species down in Fort Lauderdale, and that's where we recorded the 103 00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:48,600 David. I'm sorry the talking heads out I just mentioned, okay, and 104 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,080 so we were down there little creatures, invasive Species. That was kind of 105 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,000 the weird tie in, and it's one of my favorite brewers in Fort Lauderdale, 106 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,519 been around for about ten years. I think, okay, well, 107 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,879 I'm interested. I'm interested in trying it, so let me crack it open. 108 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,919 Ooh, that was a beautiful can. Crack. Yeah. I was 109 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,519 waiting for that sound. So when you know it's podcasting time, it looks 110 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,000 really nice. It's good caller, good foam here, kind of like a 111 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,039 hazy I pa just looking at it where it's murky, it was a little 112 00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:28,879 hazy. Oh no, the smell is really good. I liked the roma 113 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:31,559 on here. That's the other conceit of our show. Just so you know, 114 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:37,879 Davis, I have no sense of smell and so comes up quite frequently 115 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,279 because I don't. I don't get any aroma from any of the beers. 116 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,639 It was that. Is that something you've always had or was this a COVID 117 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,960 thing? I know it was a I recall having it in high school, 118 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,879 and at some point between high school and college, I just lost my sense 119 00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:54,519 of smell and I haven't had it probably in forty years. And for the 120 00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:58,559 most part I get by, you know. But I do take some very 121 00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:03,200 gentle ribbing from a Gail in almost every episode because I don't get the full 122 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,960 effect of the beer. Now I have a Gail that's not hereditary, is 123 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,120 it you? Your sense of smell is good? Well, I think over 124 00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:15,679 the past few years it has gotten noticeably worse. So I think maybe the 125 00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:18,159 genetics are catching up to me. And I have a younger brother as well, 126 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,960 and he has been convinced that his sense of smell has been going for 127 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:28,000 years, So I think it might be hereditary. Yes, well no, 128 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,480 this beer is really good. Yeah, this beer is really good for like 129 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,159 a coal, It's kind of like the best of both worlds, where you 130 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:41,240 get it's crisp and clean like a Coalsh, while you get the good fruity 131 00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:46,480 flavor of the New England ipa hops. It's really good, that's delicious. 132 00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:52,039 It is. I'm not, as a rule, a huge Colch fan because 133 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,600 I like big flavors, and this has a flavor, you know, more 134 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,440 than a typical cold food. So yeah, this is really really good beer. 135 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:05,799 Yeah, you get that like Citra's tropical flavors on here. I was 136 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,879 just trying to look on the can real quick to see if it had a 137 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,879 five point eight percent ABV, so it's not like super heavy. It does 138 00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:18,679 describe on the can a dry hopped, hazy colch, and I definitely get 139 00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:24,159 the hops in there. It's way happier than what a normal culch I would 140 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240 expect. Yeah, then your typical one, and it's it's delicious. I 141 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,000 really love it, just that like subtle little kick of hops in there, 142 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,120 but it's still so light and drinkable. And I didn't know what to expect, 143 00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:37,159 Dave, because they usually do. They're big on fruited sours and big 144 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,240 flavors down there, and when I went down there, my intent was to 145 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,279 get something in that category. This was the only thing that had to cooler 146 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:46,320 the day I went down Okay, I was all right, this is what 147 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,559 we're having. That was a good choice. You picked. Well. I 148 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,279 like this, yes, Dad. The albums you've covered a lot of the 149 00:11:54,399 --> 00:12:00,879 albums that I love. I've seen on past episodes Darkness on the Edge of 150 00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:03,720 Town. I think the first one I listened to was the Hindu Love God's 151 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,559 episode. I'm like, oh, I need to listen to this. Shake 152 00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,639 your money Maker belly button. Now you said this is like a joint effort. 153 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,840 I'm assuming with those late eighties early nineties, those come from you Berry. 154 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:20,000 That's correct. Yeah, everything you just listed as sort of in in 155 00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:24,840 my album collection, and I kind of pick them based on whether they had 156 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,879 some important meaning to me, and then also how I discovered them, because 157 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,080 part of the story I'm telling as I go through, and I've been doing 158 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,759 it somewhat chronologically, is how did I find these songs? How did I 159 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,279 find these albums? Because that's changed, as you know, Dave, over 160 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:43,159 the years, erratically, you know, from listening to try to catch songs 161 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,519 on AM radio to you know, streaming services and Napster, and I've listened 162 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,679 to things on eight track as a kid, right, so I've had it 163 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,320 in every variety and so I like to share that part of the story. 164 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,559 I like to share why did I discover this. I've had friends recommend albums 165 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,600 that's things, so minds somewhat chronological. And you know, our audience does 166 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,679 skew a little bit older if you look at the statistics and that, but 167 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,039 it's not it doesn't reflect what episodes do the best. Because many of Abigail's 168 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,159 albums, Florence and the Machine, Pink, Brett Dennon's up there, Brett 169 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:22,559 Dennon. Yeah, surprisingly Brett Dennon, those episodes performed very very well. 170 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:28,159 So despite the audience that tends to skew a little bit older, it's really 171 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,679 a mixed bag which albums, which episodes do the best. Yeah, I 172 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,399 mean it could also be the popularity of the artist and whatever. Like I 173 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,159 loved Jellyfish. I thought that band was going to explode and be like the 174 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,519 next big thing. But I think with them, their timing was bad. 175 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,960 They came out like a year or two before grunge, so that power pop 176 00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:58,320 sounded Jellyfish had two years later, no one was listening to anymore. You're 177 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,840 absolutely right. I felt the exact same thing. I don't know. I'm 178 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:05,200 a huge Beatles fan, Dave, and I thought, Oh, I finally 179 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:11,440 found somebody who is that magical. This is that magical, And the fact 180 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,240 that there were two albums and done just really broke my heart. They were 181 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:18,039 fabulous and the cool thing about that. So I shared that album with Abigail. 182 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,720 She's never she maybe heard it, maybe I played around the house. 183 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,080 She had a wonderful experience really diving into that album and taking it track by 184 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,440 track and really, you know, getting the full spectrum of what that album 185 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,799 was about, and that's half the fun. Yeah, Abigail, are there 186 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,120 albums that your dad is suggested and you're like, Dad, what were you 187 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:45,159 thinking? Oh man, I think the only one that I really had a 188 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:50,480 shock with processing my dad liking that album was the Tory Amos album Little Earthquakes, 189 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,600 Because the day he explained how he found the album was he was at 190 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,360 dinner with my mom and the restaurant was playing this album all the way through 191 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,840 and even after breaking down the album, getting to know the tracks, getting 192 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,279 to love some of the tracks. I could not picture my dad's sitting in 193 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,679 a restaurant hearing that on the speakers and instantly thinking that's an album I've got 194 00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:18,879 to buy, because it's an album you really do need to sit with for 195 00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:24,320 a little bit. And so his discovery of it, how sudden it was, 196 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:28,000 that really really surprised me. Yeah, and that was that was a 197 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,000 time you couldn't hold your phone up with Shazam or whatever. Like what song 198 00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:37,440 is this? Yeah, they asked the waitress. Absolutely, I noticed that. 199 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,440 Hopefully it's both of you. But Barry, you're a huge RIM fan, 200 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:46,639 and a lot of your episodes, like I think was it the first 201 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,039 one or maybe it was the second one that was collapsed into now and you 202 00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,159 also have one of my favorite albums of all time, Life's rich pageant down 203 00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:00,279 there. What's your favorite RIM album? Mine is? There's actually a whole 204 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,360 episode where I think we talked about our top five r M albums, and 205 00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,679 I am a huge fan of the document is in the top five. I 206 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,399 have to go back and look at the list, and then Adventure New Adventures 207 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:14,960 in High Fi. Yeah, is up. It's probably one of the top 208 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,039 two. Those are my favorites. I listened to a ton of RM I 209 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,960 was in I was living in North Carolina in the late eighties and kind of 210 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,639 discovered them there. I had some friends in North Carolina who know Don Dixon 211 00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:33,000 have worked with Don Dixon, who produced their first two albums, and really 212 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:37,840 discovered them there and really got into them a lot in North Carolina, and 213 00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:41,000 I played that stuff to death, So Abigail really became a huge fan, 214 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,960 like that is one of her top two favorite bands, and that's by default, 215 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,960 that's just osmosis of listening to it for the years. The collapse into 216 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,759 the collapse into the catalog thing. That was our test when we were talking 217 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,960 about should we do this, we prepped that. What we did was we 218 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,159 took the songs from that album and we tried to place it because it was 219 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,000 kind of a stylistically a retrospective of their entire career musically. So our exercise 220 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,240 was, can we place these songs in the first twelve albums somewhere? Where 221 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,359 would we put these songs in their spectrum of music? And it was really 222 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,519 fun and challenging. It's pretty dance, it's not a great place to start 223 00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:22,039 our show. You're really be an RM fan to love that or enjoy that. 224 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,359 But that, to me was a great, great exercise. And I 225 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,759 think what that proved to us was because it was pretty you know, nerdy 226 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,160 if I could be so, I'll say geeky, because that's cooler than being 227 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,000 nerdy. I think the thing that that proved to me was we knew enough 228 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:41,160 about music. We're not musicians, you know, we're just fans. Yeah, 229 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,759 but it proved that we knew enough about it to really have a somewhat 230 00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:48,960 educated conversation about the music. And after we did that, I was like, 231 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,680 Oh, I'm all in on this. I think this is going to 232 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:55,319 be great. So but I was the RM first m fan, first, 233 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,519 no doubt, Abigail, which albums are your favorite? So I actually took 234 00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:03,960 delivered of going and looking at our lists because when we did when we recorded 235 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,480 our top five RM Albums episode we chose, we each chose a representative song 236 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,920 from each of our top five albums and those are compiled in a playlist on 237 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,440 Spotify. So both of our canonical favorites are New Adventures in Hi Fi. 238 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:26,079 But Reveal is my second favorite and was my favorite for a very very long 239 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:32,160 time until we did the collapse into the catalog project, and during that the 240 00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:36,799 research and everything leading up to that, New Adventures in Hi Fi kind of 241 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:41,039 rose to the top. A lot of people kind of pooh pooh the more 242 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:48,079 recent rim stuff. I think it was good now wasn't as popular as they're 243 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,880 mid eighties stuff, But a lot of tracks, even on their last two 244 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:57,359 albums were extremely strong. Living Wells the best Revenge I can go on. 245 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,759 But the very last few L albums, I think we're maybe not as good, 246 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:07,839 but they weren't bad at all. Like some people think about their more 247 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,079 recent work, I would say Around the Sun is the only one that I 248 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:12,839 don't really go out of my way to listen too much. Everything else in 249 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,559 their catalog, I'm all in. I don't have I really I think those 250 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,000 last two albums hold up really, really well. Yeah, and obviously I'm 251 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,000 disappointed that they that aren't continuing to work together. Maybe they will someday. 252 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,440 Abigail and I just got tickets Dave to see Mike Mills is doing a thing 253 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:37,559 with a concerto performance over in Fort Myers area. Okay, he's playing bass 254 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,440 with the concerto, and then the concerto is going to do RIM songs. 255 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,200 Now he's not playing on the RM stuff they're doing. They're doing concerto versions 256 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,640 of RM songs, and then he's going to play bass on concerto songs. 257 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,839 Really interesting thing to see, you know. But I actually pinged him. 258 00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:56,680 I put it up on Twitter that I was seeing this, and he goes, 259 00:19:56,759 --> 00:19:57,960 you realize, I'm not planning RM songs. I said, listen, 260 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,599 my daughter nine to see you play anything live anywhere. This is totally fine 261 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,559 because she didn't get to see you guys as a unit. You know. 262 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:10,519 Yeah, I think, and I've mentioned it a couple of times. I 263 00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:15,720 think I've pinned him as well. I think the world would be better if 264 00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:19,559 Mike Mills was just singing harmony on whatever, Like he could do harmony on 265 00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:22,799 our podcast, like this is a good beer and you would hear Mike in 266 00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:29,960 the background. This beer is good. Mike Mills doing harmony would be perfect 267 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,640 on anything. My wedding. I'm like, I need Mike Mills in the 268 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,880 background to seeing harmony to my wedding. Vows so underrated. You are so 269 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,400 right on on that, and I have not seen that. He does that 270 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,480 Baseball Project stuff. Yeah, and so does Peter Buck And I don't know 271 00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,000 if they ever do it together, but they have this kind of rotating cast 272 00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:52,359 at Characters Characters that does only songs about baseball, And I'd like to see 273 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,640 that at some point too, because that's a really interesting project to me. 274 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,119 And I agree we need more Mike Mills. I wish he was always floating. 275 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240 He was doing a solo album and I don't know what happened to that. 276 00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,000 Love that guy, Love that guy, you know. And one of 277 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,519 the more interesting things that I found out about Mike Mills was like the piano 278 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:18,279 from Layla was the piano that he played on for Night Swimming, and there 279 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,160 was some benefit concert where he used the guitar from Layla as well. I'm 280 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:29,200 like, you're probably the only person that's used the same piano and guitar on 281 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,440 one of the more classic rock songs of all time, Laila. He's like, 282 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,920 yeah, I'm blessed. Wow, probably one of the few people that 283 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,440 could get away with it too, right, Like he's at this point, 284 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,559 he's rock and roll royalty, right, So oh yeah, if he says, 285 00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:42,920 hey, i'd like to use this, I'm sure nobody's saying no, 286 00:21:44,039 --> 00:21:47,960 I Mike An take a hard pass on that. He just seems like a 287 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:52,440 magically nice guy that anybody would do anything for. Yeah, do you have 288 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:56,839 any albums or episodes coming up that you want to tell people about. We 289 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,480 have a couple of good ones coming up that we already recorded that we haven't 290 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:04,440 edited yet. We have I like I Got four is coming up from Blues 291 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:10,160 Traveler okay, which we've already recorded, and um, we are I think 292 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,880 our next one coming up is, um, help me out again, what's 293 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:18,279 the next one? Well after Morant depends when this episode's coming out. Um, 294 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,400 yes, my next one, that's right. But there's also we just 295 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:30,839 recorded a jukebox episode. So one of the things we have implemented is our 296 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720 virtual jukebox because we had so many people coming up to us and saying, 297 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,079 oh, you should do this album and this album, and we needed a 298 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,079 way to kind of standardize that because the heart of the show is our favorite 299 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,640 albums that we're trading back and forth. Yeah, So every five episodes or 300 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,720 so, we draw randomly from our virtual jukebox, and anyone can submit an 301 00:22:49,759 --> 00:22:53,640 album of their choice the brewery. They would pair that with or you know, 302 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,720 if they wanted to go off the rails, do no beer or you 303 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:00,200 know, do heart cider. We're open to that as well. And then 304 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:04,240 we randomly draw an album every five episodes or so, and we try our 305 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:08,519 very best to record with the person who suggested the album. Doesn't always work 306 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:18,119 out, but most recent time we just recorded MGMTS or Oracular Spectacular and we 307 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,079 didn't have the suggestor of the album on the show, but we still had 308 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,440 an awesome time discussing an album that neither of us were super familiar with before. 309 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:30,519 How would people suggest an album to you? Do you have like a 310 00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,920 website or how would somebody that's listening to this say, oh, I would 311 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,160 like to hear them talk about blah blah blah. If you go to our 312 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,400 website, which is pops on hopspod dot com, there is a tab this 313 00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:47,039 is virtual Jukebox, and there's a little formia complete and you can answer all 314 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:48,920 our questions. Like Abigail said, you can say I just want to introduce 315 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,039 the album. I don't want to participate at all. I'm in for trying 316 00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:56,240 to arrange the beer. I don't care. You can fill out all those 317 00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:00,720 questions and at the beginning and then we put that in and like when we 318 00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,240 draw it's full right now. So when we draw one out, we put 319 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:06,960 the next, you know, we add we have a list of not a 320 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,279 waiting list, it's not that many names on it, but we have thirty 321 00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:12,079 six albums in there. And we just do it as a grid. You 322 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,240 know. We pull a usually a scrabble tile from C, D, E 323 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,720 and F and a playing card from one through nine, and it lands on 324 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,759 whatever it lands on, and that's that's the next one. And then when 325 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,000 somebody comes in then we hold like for about a year. We keep no 326 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:30,240 repeats because some people have more than one in the in the jukebox. Yeah. 327 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:32,559 What I was looking for, though, Dave what's more important than me 328 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,000 is I was thinking, well, we need to do a crossover episode, 329 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,640 So how can I get Dave involved in the pops on hops world? And 330 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,200 so I would like to throw it out there to you that if you had 331 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,680 an album, I'll let you skip ahead of the line, is what I'm 332 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,039 saying. I get to Every once in a while we do a thing where 333 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:52,359 we kind of phone a friend. So I've done it with my wife and 334 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:57,559 Abigail's done it with our with her brother, our son, and so I 335 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:00,960 am going to turn over one of my episodes to you if you'd like to 336 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,680 do that. And if that were the case, what album do you think 337 00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:10,279 you'd suggest? Hm, Well, you said you had cards one through nine. 338 00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:15,160 I wish there was a deck that had cards one through eleven because I 339 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,720 would pick one of my favorite bands of all time, the Smithereens and their 340 00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:23,920 classic album eleven. Well, before we wrap things up here, you mentioned 341 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:29,640 that you like this brewery a lot. What other breweries in like your area 342 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,559 if somebody were coming down there, would you recommend people to go to? 343 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:40,240 Well, in Fort Lauderdale, there's several good ones. My two favorites are 344 00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:44,720 Invasive Species and Three Sons. Three Sons is down near the Fort Lauderdale International 345 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,519 Airport in Dania Beach, just a little south of Fort Lauderdale. And then 346 00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:52,200 the other one's fairly famous, right, it's Funky Buddha, which was like 347 00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:56,079 probably what put South Florida on the beer map originally. I mean it was 348 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,359 one of the original places. Got bought out or maybe it was just an 349 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:06,960 investment from Constellation, which was a distributor, and about four weeks six weeks 350 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,440 ago they bought their rights back, so Funky Boot and bought the rights back 351 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,960 from Constellation. That is a wonderful tap house, a lot of a wide 352 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,319 variety of great experimental type beers, which has never changed, by the way, 353 00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:22,480 when Constellation bought them, that never went away. The tap house remained 354 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,680 just as cool as it had always been. If you want to go a 355 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:27,640 little further south into Miami, the Winwood District in Miami, which is this 356 00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:33,960 really great neighborhood. It's an older neighborhood, It's had a renaissance. There's 357 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,680 a lot of straight art on the buildings. There's a couple down that are 358 00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,279 fabulous. Jay Wakefield's probably my favorite. In fact, I think he has 359 00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:45,880 a show on Sirius where he talks about the business of beer, which he 360 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:52,240 records at that brewery. And then Windwood Brewing is also fabulous in that neighborhood. 361 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,599 And then a little bit west more towards the airport. Gotta love the 362 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,759 airports. Right at the airport, tie in right day out by Miami International 363 00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:02,480 air poor more in the draw area, I guess, but it's out that 364 00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:04,039 way. There's a couple of great ones. Lincoln's beard is one of my 365 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:10,759 favorites, and also Tripping Animals. Two very cool spaces down in Miami. 366 00:27:11,079 --> 00:27:14,960 They're probably my favorites that in my range. Go up to Palm Beach County. 367 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,759 We had a great one there called Due South. It was the biggest 368 00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:21,359 one in Palm Beach County, and they didn't really survive the pandemic. We 369 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,759 actually recorded an episode there and like six or eight months after that they had 370 00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:27,799 they had to close their doors. They just I don't know what happened. 371 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,680 So Palm Beach County probably my favorite places. Civil Society which does a lot 372 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,160 of New England IPA's and that's based that's closer to Jupiter, but it's in 373 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,240 Palm Beach County. They're the big ones down near us. But there's fabulous 374 00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:42,440 stuff all over the state. There's a list I pulled a list up that 375 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,799 maybe I'll send you the link if you want it. For the show notes. 376 00:27:47,559 --> 00:27:51,039 It's called hop Culture. Put an article together of the eighteen best breweries 377 00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:55,279 in South Florida. They actually kind of included Tampa Saint Pete area in the 378 00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:56,880 South Flow. It's almost like it drew a line across the state and everything 379 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,119 south of that, and so they mentioned some great breweries in the Tampa Saint 380 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,240 Petere area too. That's a great beer community over there, as you can 381 00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:08,960 imagine, Cigars City being the most famous one. Obviously also now acquired by 382 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,720 Anaheuser Bush many years ago, but they still have a very cool tap room. 383 00:28:12,759 --> 00:28:17,480 Like a lot of these guys maintain the charm of their original place as 384 00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:19,599 part of their arrangement, and so you can still go to the old Cigar 385 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,799 City tap room and have a great experience, even though we know Anaheuser Bush 386 00:28:23,799 --> 00:28:29,680 bought them at and they're still making a smaller batch, more creative kind of 387 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,559 stuff still, even though I'm you know, they're bigger labels and everything are 388 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,720 distributed nationwide, they're still making stuff that is only available in their tap house 389 00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:44,079 locally. Yeah, that's cool. I know, like when Annaheuser Busch InBev 390 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,000 bought out Goose Island here, their original tap room still puts out some of 391 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:53,319 the beers that have been discontinued that you could only get in you know, 392 00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:56,880 that tap room, So that part's kind of cool. I'm not a big 393 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:03,359 fan of the man by little businesses out, but you know, if like 394 00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:07,559 if Constellation wanted to buy my podcast here you go, you could have it, 395 00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:14,480 it's all you know, so well, I don't like it. I'm 396 00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:17,880 the same way, Dave. I'm like, get your money right. But 397 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,720 also the man, oh gosh, capitalism, it's a it's a tough walk. 398 00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:26,559 It's a tough line that we walk. I know what, Constellation paid 399 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,799 what a billion for ballast Point and then sold it for like next to nothing 400 00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:34,839 five years later. You know, I can't blame the ballast Point people. 401 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,400 I mean, who's going to turn down that big of a check. No 402 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,759 one. It's hard to refuse that, obviously. But abe'as lives up in 403 00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:45,319 Gainesville, Dave, so not in South Florida, Abigail, do you have 404 00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,079 anything up your way you want to share with Dave? Anything in the Gainesville, 405 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:52,240 North Florida? Are you? We have some great breweries up here. 406 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,000 Alashua County now has a sort of an ale trail that they've created called the 407 00:29:56,079 --> 00:30:02,599 Sippin seven seven breweries in and around Gainesville. I have been to six of 408 00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:07,640 them, so I am very familiar with the beer scene up here. My 409 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,119 favorite is swamp Head Brewery. They've been around the longest in Gainesville, and 410 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,559 they are very close to where I live, so It is a snap to 411 00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:19,960 get over there. They were producing all kinds of really fun stuff during the 412 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,200 pandemic, and I spent a lot of money there during the pandemic because they 413 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,279 had a drive through operational setup and they were releasing new stuff every week. 414 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:33,519 And what they did, which was very smart because they got completionists like me 415 00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:38,839 hooked, was they would do several series and they release one a week for 416 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,880 a month or two months, and so I always had to try everything in 417 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:49,079 the series. So I was there a lot during the pandemic. Yeah. 418 00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:53,400 The other big one in town is First Magnitude, and they also have terrific, 419 00:30:53,519 --> 00:31:00,200 terrific beer and a really great outdoor seating area their venue. I think 420 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,680 it's probably the coolest in town. Yeah, I'll have the I know, 421 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,079 I'm not sure. I think the first one you mentioned, like a couple 422 00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:11,799 of years ago, Lauren from beard Al set me some beers from North Florida, 423 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,400 so I think I had. I'll have to go back through my untapped 424 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,599 check ins, but I think I had something from that first brewery you mentioned. 425 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,359 It would surprise me. It's a really power place and there's a Jacksonville 426 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,920 scene is exploding. There are so many good breweries in Jacksonville too, And 427 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,440 Jackson was like og in that sense they had I think it might have been 428 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,319 bold city. They hadn't one that opened up like it's a legacy. It's 429 00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:38,440 been there so long before this really starting to explode. Now you can go 430 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,519 over there and there's probably there's got to be thirty breweries in the Jazz Brewery, 431 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,599 if not more, and wide variety, and everything's fun, everything's good. 432 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,799 But we don't get up there often enough. We like we'd have to. 433 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,960 We need more time in Jackson very getting. You could drive so much, 434 00:31:55,839 --> 00:32:00,799 do we do it? I give you a buddy continue. Yeah, 435 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,799 yeah, I could give me a buddy pass if you want to catch a 436 00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:12,839 puddle jumper from Miami up to Jacksonville for me. Well, drinking of the 437 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,559 East coast of Florida. Well, Abigail Berry, I appreciate you coming on. 438 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,920 This was a lot of fun. I think I don't know who does 439 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,400 the Twitter. Who is it Berry or Abigail? Who's in charge? I 440 00:32:24,519 --> 00:32:29,759 spend more time on Twitter than Abigail does. I think. Yeah, because 441 00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:31,599 I take pick I'll take a lot of because I do some of the artwork. 442 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,319 I do a lot of the pictures and so I think I've spent more 443 00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:37,240 time because I don't know. I think I was first introduced to your show. 444 00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:42,480 I think we followed each other on Twitter, but I remember I was 445 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:46,920 like waiting in an urgent care center for like a three hour wait to get 446 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,039 looked at, and I'm just like, put something on there, all right, 447 00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:54,200 Somebody give me some podcast suggestions because I'm gonna be here a while. 448 00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:58,720 And I know I'm not sure who did it, but they're like, you 449 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,000 should check ours out. So I'm like, then I found the Hindu Love 450 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:06,000 Goods and Hindu love Gods, and that's when I fell in love with this 451 00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:10,200 show. Where can people find the show? We are on all social media, 452 00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:15,240 Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, We're even on YouTube. Pops on hops 453 00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:17,359 pod is what you would search on any of those things to find us. 454 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:22,519 On YouTube. It's really fun we will put together. We have podcasts like 455 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:28,720 research playlists, so every every video that's mentioned in a podcast episode goes into 456 00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,880 that playlist. So lots of deep dives available on our YouTube. And then 457 00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:37,079 my dad mentioned earlier our website Pops on hopspot dot com. We put our 458 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,759 show notes there so if there's ever anything you're looking for the link too. 459 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,880 That'll be on the website and that's where we have our virtual jukebox as well. 460 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,279 Awesome. Well, Abigail Barry, thank you so much for coming on. 461 00:33:49,759 --> 00:33:54,519 I appreciate it and I'm sure we'll speak very soon. All right. 462 00:33:54,599 --> 00:34:00,799 The beer in front of me this week is from Roaring Table. They're based 463 00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:06,160 out of Lake Zurich, Illinois. This is called Bar and Grill. It's 464 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:12,280 a California style double IPA. They use Citra and El Dorado hops here. 465 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:20,800 Really awesome label. The label looks it's got this nice retro font. Really 466 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,119 cool looking label. That's what sold me on the beer. And then I 467 00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:27,599 saw it was from Roaring Table, so I'm like, put it in the 468 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:39,480 cart. Let's crack open Bar and Grill. Bar and Grill is a really 469 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:47,639 nice light color and say it's on more on the heasy side. Good foam, 470 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,960 the roma just slaps your right in the nose. Smells really good. 471 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,480 Oh yeah, the taste is great. When I said California style, I 472 00:34:58,519 --> 00:35:01,039 was kind of thinking it was going to be more of a West Coast IPA. 473 00:35:01,119 --> 00:35:07,599 But this is definitely on the New England hazy side. It's really good. 474 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,800 This checks in at eight point two percent, so maybe one and done 475 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,599 with this, but it's a delicious beer. I'm going to try this again 476 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,199 now, very flavorful, get a lot of fruit flavors upfront from the hops. 477 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:30,360 I think this is excellent. I would definitely buy this again if I 478 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,920 see it. I picked it up at a local bottle shop. But everything 479 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,000 that I've had so far from Roaring Table has been excellent. If you see 480 00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:43,480 Barring Grill in your travels, by all means, put it in the cart. 481 00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:49,639 All right. That's going to wrap things up for this week's edition of 482 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,159 Beer in Front. I want to think once again Barry and Abigail from the 483 00:35:55,199 --> 00:36:01,519 Great Pops on Hops podcast. Check them out listen for me.

Head over to YouTube. I 491 00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:46,320 did a quick side by side comparison of Beezer and the new Brewlab Series Volume 492 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,320 one. Check that out. I'm a big fan of Old Irving, so 493 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,079 that's going to come out later this week.
