Sometimes the beer in 3 00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:22,160 front of you is the best one yet. I'll talk 4 00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,640 to different people around the beer world and get their 5 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:30,600 stories all about beer. That's Beer in Front and it's 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:40,079 coming up now. Welcome to episode two hundred and thirty 7 00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:44,759 two of Beer in Front. I'm your host, Dave's Alataurus 8 00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,479 and Beer in Front is a proud odd Pods Media 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,479 Network member and charter member of the Beer Media Group. 10 00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:56,039 This is going to be a quick solo show today. 11 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,320 I have a couple of good beers I'm going to 12 00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:02,560 talk about, talk about the news of the week, everything 13 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,799 like that. A couple really good beers. I'm gonna have 14 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,040 one I don't think I've talked about on the show, 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,799 but it is an old school beer Pacifico. Then I'm 16 00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:12,959 gonna have a couple local ones as well, so stay 17 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,599 tuned for that. If you've been following the show for 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,599 a while, you know I have videos up on YouTube 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,040 and Instagram. Please follow me Beer in Front over there 20 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,959 most big influencers, if you will. They get twenty five 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,840 thousand views in one video. But on my YouTube channel, 22 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,040 I just hit the twenty five thousand views mark, which 23 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,560 is really good for just some small jamoke out of 24 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,840 Chicago who drinks beer. So if you watch the videos, 25 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,400 thank you very much. I appreciate it. I got twenty 26 00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,959 five thousand views on YouTube. Who would have thought it? 27 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,400 And I don't get the algorithms that they use for 28 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:58,359 YouTube or Instagram TikTok because I've been putting out videos 29 00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:02,439 for a while and it's odd, like some videos will 30 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,200 blow up. I had one on Instagram and it was 31 00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:11,000 a local Chicago beer, so it's hyper local that he 32 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,879 had like fifteen hundred people watch it or fourteen hundred 33 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,120 and ninety nine bots, and my mom watched it. But 34 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,560 other ones will get twelve or it's just odd. Even 35 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:30,120 on TikTok, I have on average about maybe seven hundred 36 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,800 views for each video I put out. I think the 37 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,919 more you put them out, the more people will watch. 38 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,039 So I put out four last week and I went 39 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,719 from like six hundred down to twenty seven. So if 40 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,919 you know how to rig the algorithm on video sites, 41 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,000 get a hold of me. This could be the last 42 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:55,280 solo show for a while. I have a couple of 43 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:59,080 good ones lined up for the next month or so 44 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,479 so stay tuned for I can't really divulge everything right now, 45 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,719 but I have a couple good guests that are lined up, 46 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,960 and I'm also going to have my Faux Bab preview 47 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,800 show coming out on the twenty first in November, so 48 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 stay tuned for that. But all right, that's enough rambling. 49 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:27,520 Let's get on with the rest of the show.

This is born in Maztlne in 86 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,720 nineteen hundred three brewers from Germany started making Pacifico all 87 00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:14,720 of a sudden from Sinaloa up the Baja coastline. Pacifico 88 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:19,839 was a favorite in the seventies. As legend has it, 89 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,600 surfers from California went down to Mexico found Pacifico, and 90 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,639 now this is a big beer in the surfing community. 91 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,600 Haven't had it in a while. I mean, I've always 92 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,959 liked Pacifico. It's good for what it is, easy drinking, 93 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:47,240 just rushable lagger. So let's crack open the Pacifico Klara. 94 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:53,560 Really nice, pale, golden color, good foam, looks like it's 95 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:59,120 highly carbonated. Yeah good, Just smells like a good classic 96 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,360 Mac beer. I might get a little more of hops 97 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,079 out of the EurOMA, but I mean I really like it. It 98 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,600 smells good. Yeah, that's the killer. I mean, you can't 99 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,399 go wrong with a Pacifico. Hot day you want to 100 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,279 crush some beer, I mean, this is perfect, good taste, 101 00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:22,079 nice walt flavors here, a little bit of the hops. 102 00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:24,639 I don't get as much out of the flavor than 103 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,720 I did out of the EurOMA, but I mean I 104 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,000 think it's good. I mean it's not hoppy, regardless, it's 105 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,240 you know, a pills ner, but I get more of 106 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,720 the walt from the flavor. But it tastes good. Yeah, 107 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,040 drink this all day long. Refreshing, it's light, it's crisp. 108 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,279 If you see it, I'm sure you could get it 109 00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:47,000 at a good price point. Always seems to be on 110 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,360 sale around here. So if you're looking for a nice, crushable, 111 00:07:51,959 --> 00:07:58,360 easy drinking lagger, you gotta put Pacifico in the carts, 112 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:07,879 all right. The local beer I'm gonna have right now 113 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,639 is a collaboration effort between Hot Butcher and Crushed by Giants. 114 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,240 This is live from Chicago. Great looking artwork. You've got 115 00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,480 a nice concert crowd there.

Doesn't list the IBus 124 00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:10,799 on this, but it is six point seventy five percent 125 00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:15,879 and alcohol tastes great. There was big hop flavors here. 126 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,360 You get a little bit of bitterness in the back, 127 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,639 not like the old you know, palette wrecker IPA days, 128 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,960 but you definitely know it's a West Coast style. I 129 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,000 think this tastes really good. Yeah, that's a winner. If 130 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:34,200 you see this one at Hopwitcher or crushed by Giants, 131 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,480 you definitely need to throw this one in the cart. 132 00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:40,960 Once again, This is live from Chicago. It's a definite 133 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:42,879 great West Coast IPA. 134 00:09:43,039 --> 00:10:05,159 Speaker 2: I would grab it if I were you. 135 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,919 Speaker 1: All right. The beer from Illinois that I'm gonna have 136 00:09:57,039 --> 00:10:01,759 this week comes from Old Irving. This is White chap Hal. 137 00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:06,080 This is a red ale brewed in collaboration with the 138 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,519 metal band White Chapel. So this looks really good. I 139 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,759 happen to go there last week to pick something up 140 00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:17,480 and this just came out. So I'm excited to try this. 141 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,080 I know they're red ale. Everything Old Evring puts out 142 00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:25,919 is great, but they're red ales. I know they're one 143 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120 that they put out in your Saint Patrick's Day is 144 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:30,320 really good. I forget the name of it off the 145 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,559 top of my head, so I do like bear red Hale. 146 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,919 So let's crack this open. This is five and a 147 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,919 half percent alcohol. Beautiful look and artwork on the can. 148 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:57,480 This has a wonderful color, beautiful, nice reddish amber color. Good, 149 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,000 couple fingers of boone here, show out to my friends. 150 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,480 It pops on hops for the couple fingers of foam, 151 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:11,840 but looks great, smells fantastic. You get a wonderful malt 152 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,080 notes here with the aroma. It smells phenomenal. Oh yeah, 153 00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:23,159 that's just like autumn and a glass right there. It's 154 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,879 like hearty. You get the wonderful malt flavors, not a 155 00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:32,159 lot of bitterness here. It just tastes phenomenal, like this 156 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,639 is something on a nice cool autumn night. Although the 157 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,960 day I'm drinking this, it's nice out in Chicago, But 158 00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,720 I could see having this on a nice autumn night, 159 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:48,480 sitting outside drink these all night long. This tastes phenomenal. Yeah, 160 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,559 that's so good. It tastes hearty. It doesn't taste like 161 00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:57,720 a five and a half percenter. It's a very rich 162 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,639 tasting beer. You get like the sweet notes from the malt, 163 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,720 like almost like a like a Hoffey maybe, but like 164 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,759 a sweetness there. That's really good. I think you're gonna 165 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:14,440 like this. If you're in the Chicago Land area, I 166 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,960 would definitely pick up White chap Hal put it in 167 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:21,840 the cart. It's a winner, like everything else from Old Irving, 168 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,159 And I just love going to work and parking across 169 00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:27,240 the street, and then when I get off of work, 170 00:12:27,519 --> 00:12:29,480 I'm right there. I can stop in and grab a 171 00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:32,120 more pack. So but now pick up some Old Irving. 172 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:45,200 The White chap Hao is phenomenal. It's been a long 173 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,759 time since I did one, but right now here is 174 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:56,000 your jag off of the week. I'm at the Jewels 175 00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:59,279 the other day picking up some stuff. I'm at the 176 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:05,279 grocery store. On the music system, they start playing Mister 177 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,720 Brightside from The Killers. I'm the only one in the 178 00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:16,000 store lip syncing the song to mister Brightside because if 179 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,799 mister Brightside comes out, I don't care where you are, 180 00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,360 what you're doing.
