I want 114 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.839 to thank Fred Over at Superior Pest Control West Michigan 115 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.920 for hooking us up not only in the research department, 116 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.240 but also with some tasty beverages. Now, the thing I 117 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.439 found most fascinating about this, besides the fact that we 118 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.399 get to taste this from twenty sixteen and find out 119 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.000 whether or not it's got any legs, is that it's 120 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.879 a wopping This is a bourbon barrel age oatmeal stout. 121 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.959 It comes in at a wopping eight point five percent. 122 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.160 I mean, I'm thinking to myself, that's it. 123 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.079 Wait, really, I thought that was thirteen easy. 124 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.160 No, it's only eight point five. 125 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.519 So I've been looking at this and so I'm thinking, 126 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.160 I'm thinking to myself, maybe this one's not gonna hold 127 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.360 up as well, because a lot of the big more 128 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.720 alcoholic versions, the boozier the better they hold up. 129 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:57.920 That held up nice. 130 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.759 Okay, what do you got there?

There's a 133 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:06.720 guy who brews beer for a living. What do you think? 134 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:10.199 I think? I like it a lot, great oatmeal flavor, 135 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.839 nice creamy head. You can taste the bourbon barrel aging on. 136 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.040 It seems like I held up real well. But you 137 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:19.759 don't get. 138 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.240 That boozy No, it's great. 139 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:25.639 It's smooth, creamy, and tastes a little oxidized, but not 140 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.160 much at all oxidize, gives it kind of that cardboard 141 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.680 cardboard aspect.

Beer commercials used to be a 364 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:45.880 lot better than they are today. 365 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:47.200 Oh yeah, oh yeah. 366 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.000 So they knew that jingle, and the director says, well, 367 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.160 if we take out Budweiser and put in Wisconsin, we 368 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.160 can say when you say Wisconsin, you've. 369 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:57.799 Said it all. 370 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:03.079 And they played it and the crowd went nuts. Well. 371 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.480 The band kept that tradition going, and then in nineteen 372 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.480 seventy five there was a football game where the Wisconsin 373 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.240 Badgers were playing the Oregon Ducks and they were behind, 374 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.039 and they said, hey play the poka. So they played 375 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.200 the beer, but the Budweiser beer PoCA, but changed Budweiser 376 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:26.160 to Wisconsin, and twenty seconds after that scored a touchdown. 377 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.200 They played it again. They scored again and won the game, 378 00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:33.440 and from then on it became a tradition at Wisconsin 379 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.720 to play the Budweiser PoCA. But other schools have picked 380 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:39.039 it up, and even they started playing it in the 381 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.920 National Hockey League during the Stanley Cup playoffs.
