Speaker 1: brought to the table where I'm gonna bring a beer. Chad,
Speaker 1: it's gonna bring some beer. Bill, it's gonna bring some beer.
Speaker 1: And we're just gonna have some beer. And I hope
Speaker 1: that whatever you can do. Maybe you're just hanging out
Speaker 1: in the garage, maybe trying to keep warm. I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're trying to do, but maybe you can
Speaker 1: have a beer with us responsibly. Okay, So who's gonna
Speaker 1: go first? This week is gonna be you.
Speaker 3: Bill, We're going first, because if we have anybody listening
Speaker 3: for the first time, I don't want to lose them
Speaker 3: and think that this is the all non alcoholic beer
Speaker 3: drinking show.
Speaker 1: It is dry January, all right, you're doing.
Speaker 3: Dry January and you're drinking hot water. Meanwhile, Bill and I,
Speaker 3: we're gonna drink some beer here. And I want to
Speaker 3: thank our friends at Superior Pest Control of West Michigan
Speaker 3: for hooking us up with this one. James, I have
Speaker 3: in my hands something we haven't seen. It's like it's
Speaker 3: like a lost treasure from the beer world. Remember those
Speaker 3: big boxes of Firestone Walker beer with a big twenty
Speaker 3: two ounce bomber bottles in them, the limited release that
Speaker 3: would come.
Speaker 1: Out, Yeah, like in two thousand maybe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it started about back then and yeah, and it
Speaker 3: ran yeah, and then all of a sudden everybody went
Speaker 3: to the smaller bottle format.
Speaker 4: Well, this is one of the old ones.
Speaker 3: This is a twenty sixteen velvet murkin from Firestone Walker.
Speaker 3: This is a bourbon barrel age oatmeal stout. I want
Speaker 3: to thank Fred Over at Superior Pest Control West Michigan
Speaker 3: for hooking us up not only in the research department,
Speaker 3: but also with some tasty beverages. Now, the thing I
Speaker 3: found most fascinating about this, besides the fact that we
Speaker 3: get to taste this from twenty sixteen and find out
Speaker 3: whether or not it's got any legs, is that it's
Speaker 3: a wopping This is a bourbon barrel age oatmeal stout.
Speaker 3: It comes in at a wopping eight point five percent.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm thinking to myself, that's it.
Speaker 1: Wait, really, I thought that was thirteen easy.
Speaker 4: No, it's only eight point five.
Speaker 3: So I've been looking at this and so I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking to myself, maybe this one's not gonna hold
Speaker 3: up as well, because a lot of the big more
Speaker 3: alcoholic versions, the boozier the better they hold up.
Speaker 5: That held up nice.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you got there? Harbor Light bill On
Speaker 3: Mike here the guy who says, you know, we say
Speaker 3: craft brewing. It's much more of a mindset. There's a
Speaker 3: guy who brews beer for a living. What do you think?
Speaker 5: I think? I like it a lot, great oatmeal flavor,
Speaker 5: nice creamy head. You can taste the bourbon barrel aging on.
Speaker 5: It seems like I held up real well. But you
Speaker 5: don't get.
Speaker 4: That boozy No, it's great.
Speaker 3: It's smooth, creamy, and tastes a little oxidized, but not
Speaker 3: much at all oxidize, gives it kind of that cardboard
Speaker 3: cardboard aspect. But we'll talk more about this because I
Speaker 3: know James is just dying to not get his buzz on.
Speaker 2: Dry January.
Speaker 1: I do Dry January just because I want to introduce
Speaker 1: inn a beer's because it's a style that's not going
Speaker 1: anywhere anytime soon, even.
Speaker 4: Though the next bubble to burst that thinks.
Speaker 1: That it's going to be the next bubble to burst.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna bring in an a beer all January
Speaker 1: just to give love to some of the n A
Speaker 1: beer because you believe it or not, there are actually
Speaker 1: some really really good ones out there, including the one
Speaker 1: that I'll bring into the table from Sierra Nevada, the
Speaker 1: Trail pass Ipa. Now this one I've had before, and
Speaker 1: it's been since last January since I've had it. So
Speaker 1: I pour this in my What's on Tap radio like
Speaker 1: a podcast last a couple of minutes over our friends
Speaker 1: over at Harbor Light Brewing, and I'm gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: and get that out of poor nice little head. Retention,
Speaker 1: what was the ABV on that again. Oh, zero point
Speaker 1: five zero point five thanks for rasping, Chad, So I'll
Speaker 1: give you that nice swirl, nice aromas, very happy. M hmm.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you a blind taste test, you would not
Speaker 1: know this is an a beer. I'm putting that out there,
Speaker 1: Sierra Nevada Trail pass Ipa at point five percent alcohol
Speaker 1: by Folume zero point five percent, zero point five percent.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna talk a little bit about this after
Speaker 1: the break. But chatting Miller kicked it.
Speaker 3: Off with the Firestone Walker twenty sixteen velvet Mrkin out
Speaker 3: of the beer seller from Superior Pest Control, West Michigan,
Speaker 3: an eight point five percent bourbon barrel aged oatmeal stout
Speaker 3: which held up nice.
Speaker 1: And it's a tract that by eight. And you got
Speaker 1: the beer that I brought to the table, d Sierra
Speaker 1: Nevada Trail pass Ipa. And that's brought the table. Thanks

Speaker 1: Uh really eight you really brings out the aromas. Bill
Speaker 1: really brings out the aromas. It's got a nice wide
Speaker 1: mouth on it. I love this glass. Love this glass, guys, still.
Speaker 5: Second best glass next to the Sam Adams Boston.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree with you on that. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put this glass over the same same Lambs glass.
Speaker 3: That's at James in the radio fight. Man, you go ahead,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna tell you right now, listen, this this
Speaker 3: particular glass is fantastic. But when you're drinking out of
Speaker 3: the Sam Adams Boston Logger glass, let's just be honest. Okay,
Speaker 3: if you are on your way to getting the divorce,
Speaker 3: you guys make up. If you're both drinking out of
Speaker 3: that glass. Results may vary, but not really, because it does.
Speaker 3: It heals marriages.
Speaker 4: I mean it does that.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you got a kid who's acting up,
Speaker 3: pour a beer into a sam Adam's Boston Logger glass,
Speaker 3: take a sip. All of a sudden, the kids like, Dad,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'll behave mom. Hey, listen, I'll go clean
Speaker 3: up my room now, and then after that, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go to bed, and yeah, I'll read a book.
Speaker 4: And then I'll get my homework done tomorrow.
Speaker 1: This beer is really happy, really happy the trail pass
Speaker 1: Ipa and I'm guessing off the nose Amrella Hops, Amilla Hops.
Speaker 1: I mean it screams throughout the beer, very citrusy pine notes.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm guessing it's from the ambrella and I
Speaker 1: am some of the varieties I can't get off the
Speaker 1: top of my nose or my tongue. But let me
Speaker 1: go and take another suit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, get a sip of that. What is that? I'm
Speaker 4: gonna tell you how James knows this Here in a second.
Speaker 1: About thirty five IBus and about ninety five calories I
Speaker 1: can tell for this glass.
Speaker 3: See, when James was born, his mom swaddled him in
Speaker 3: hop vines and that's how he just gives cuddled up
Speaker 3: in a crib. And some people get a little blanky
Speaker 3: and a little stuffed bear.
Speaker 4: Not James. He was given a pint glass.
Speaker 3: Now it was empty pint glass, or I had non
Speaker 3: alcoholic beer in it, because you know dry, you know infancy,
Speaker 3: But they swaddled him in hop vines.
Speaker 1: Cascade, that's what I couldn't. It's cascade, That's what it is.
Speaker 1: It's Cascade Amarello Cascade. And I want to say there's
Speaker 1: some Bravo in there too.
Speaker 3: James is having flashbacks of his infancy. This is it,
Speaker 3: you know. It's kind of like his mother singing to
Speaker 3: him in the womb, and it's probably some beer poka
Speaker 3: and you know, and he just next thing, you know,
Speaker 3: he's like, I think I want to work in the
Speaker 3: beer industry and I want to do a radio show.
Speaker 1: It all came together, didn't it. Here we are, Here
Speaker 1: we are, Season eleven, episode two of What's on Tap
Speaker 1: Radio podcast.
Speaker 3: We never do this, Okay, if you're wondering what The
Speaker 3: joke is we never say how many episodes.
Speaker 1: I was told. I was told in the very beginning
Speaker 1: of What's on Tap Radio never to do that because
Speaker 1: we are superior to podcast.
Speaker 3: Oh boys, that was somebody in the radio industry telling
Speaker 3: you that that happened.
Speaker 1: We had a meeting because podcasts were coming up at
Speaker 1: that point, and you know, we radio folks wanted to
Speaker 1: let the podcaster know that we are the ones. We
Speaker 1: are the Ivy League. It's true to your community college
Speaker 1: and fast forward. Oh boys, things are changing here we are.
Speaker 1: Season eleven, Episode two was on Tabriel Podcast. Anyway, We're
Speaker 1: not beat them, you join them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Well, hey, I got to quickly recap
Speaker 3: here on this velvet Merkin that's has warmed up really
Speaker 3: nice twenty sixteen. I mean it's it's got some age
Speaker 3: on it. And this one here, I have to say
Speaker 3: for an eight point five percent beer held up beautifully.
Speaker 3: I really enjoy soft on the palette. The flavors kind
Speaker 3: of came together. They've kind of melded together, if you will.
Speaker 3: There's nothing really pronounced on it. It's just a really
Speaker 3: enjoyable beer. In fact, if you didn't tell me it
Speaker 3: was eight point five percent. I would think it was
Speaker 3: much lower.
Speaker 5: That's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's smooth, it's it is, it is. But all right,
Speaker 3: that's what we kick things off with. Again. Thank you
Speaker 3: Superior Pest Control of West Michigan for hooking us up,

Speaker 3: Fun Fact of the week and uh this week here, well,
Speaker 3: I want to I want to. I want to give
Speaker 3: a pay tribute to a holiday movie because we just
Speaker 3: got through the holiday season and the greatest Poka singer
Speaker 3: of all time, Gus Polinski and the Kenosha Kickers.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, gotta yep, you know.
Speaker 3: Them, right, Poka Pok Pok, Poka, Swinger's Poka Kiss Kiss
Speaker 3: Kiss Me Poka. No Beerbero Poker Bill Berrow. No that
Speaker 3: well that wasn't Gus Polinski. But you know they sold
Speaker 3: over six hundred copies, not in Chicago but in Sheboygan,
Speaker 3: very big in Sheboygan. But anyway speaking.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get a flight, so they drove it's.
Speaker 4: A home alone reference in Gus Polensky. Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 3: Old John Candy, the Poka King of the Midwest. Well,
Speaker 3: the year's nineteen seventy five and the University of Wisconsin
Speaker 3: was playing a hockey game and uh, they're they're playing
Speaker 3: the game and the director of the bands there and
Speaker 3: getting the crowd all into it, and everybody said, we
Speaker 3: want to hear a poka, we want to hear a poka,
Speaker 3: and it's like, we don't have any pokas And the
Speaker 3: band said, well, yeah we do. We practice when you're
Speaker 3: not around and we play. Well, James, uh do you
Speaker 3: have that? Do you have cut two ready to go?
Speaker 3: They actually have this that they play as a poka
Speaker 3: as a big and the Wisconsin man plays this, it
Speaker 3: comes the King, Here comes the big number one, but
Speaker 3: wise the beer the King, you second to none.
Speaker 2: Just say bud Wiser. You've said it all. Here comes
Speaker 2: the King.
Speaker 1: But it's kind of catchy, very and I didn't like.
Speaker 2: You say, but you've said.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that. Beer commercials used to be a
Speaker 1: lot better than they are today.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3: So they knew that jingle, and the director says, well,
Speaker 3: if we take out Budweiser and put in Wisconsin, we
Speaker 3: can say when you say Wisconsin, you've.
Speaker 4: Said it all.
Speaker 3: And they played it and the crowd went nuts. Well.
Speaker 3: The band kept that tradition going, and then in nineteen
Speaker 3: seventy five there was a football game where the Wisconsin
Speaker 3: Badgers were playing the Oregon Ducks and they were behind,
Speaker 3: and they said, hey play the poka. So they played
Speaker 3: the beer, but the Budweiser beer PoCA, but changed Budweiser
Speaker 3: to Wisconsin, and twenty seconds after that scored a touchdown.
Speaker 3: They played it again. They scored again and won the game,
Speaker 3: and from then on it became a tradition at Wisconsin
Speaker 3: to play the Budweiser PoCA. But other schools have picked
Speaker 3: it up, and even they started playing it in the
Speaker 3: National Hockey League during the Stanley Cup playoffs. But the
Speaker 3: most fascinating thing, which I think James you're gonna appreciate,
Speaker 3: is that in Saint Louis, home of Budweiser, the seventh
Speaker 3: inning stretch, what do they play?
Speaker 4: Take me out to the ballgame? Guess what?
Speaker 3: Whoop? They bumped that to the eighth inning Because in
Speaker 3: Saint Louis, your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact
Speaker 3: of the week is that the Budweiser beer Poka, which
Speaker 3: is replaced in Wisconsin, is the Wisconsin beer PoCA Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: is played during the seventh inning stretch at all Saint
Speaker 3: Louis Cardinal games. And that is your official What's on
Speaker 3: Tap Radio fun fact of the week.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break. Coming up, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about, Oh, this is a Japanese actor who's fired

Speaker 1: actually protect it. And fans are pissed. They're not with this,
Speaker 1: but the company said that it wasn't on purpose. The
Speaker 1: previous owner never told them about the house's cultural significance
Speaker 1: and now that they're generally sorry that they knocked it down.
Speaker 1: And now they plan to build a bar or cafe
Speaker 1: using the material salvage from the rubble. But damn it,
Speaker 1: this is ac DC, folks, it'd better be a bar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a beer. Hey, did you hear the
Speaker 3: ac DC has a beer? Now?
Speaker 1: I heard that and Metallica Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: You can actually save sea turtles with edible six peck.
Speaker 1: All things were we learned.
Speaker 3: But quest as to the eleven years and eleven years
Speaker 3: and how many episodes.
Speaker 1: People send us? Let me catch all up. People send
Speaker 1: us these stories year after year after year after year.
Speaker 1: We get it constantly. So inside joke that you guys
Speaker 1: are now in on uh to the global fan base
Speaker 1: of ac DC, Please know that we hear you, appreciate
Speaker 1: your deep admiration for the legendary band, and we are
Speaker 1: devoted to making this right. So they're gonna build a
Speaker 1: bar where Angus Young, Angus and Malcolm Young once they
Speaker 1: had their house that was just demolished.
Speaker 4: Okay, I gotta jump.
Speaker 3: This is not on the one sheet. And I was
Speaker 3: thinking about saving this for a fun fact, but no,
Speaker 3: it too.
Speaker 4: It's too good.
Speaker 3: Remember our good buddy Kip, formerly of Galaxy Jewelers for
Speaker 3: like fifty years in business.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Kip. He sends a story here and there.
Speaker 3: Yeah he does, and he sent me this, and this
Speaker 3: is pretty good. But property developers in the UK back
Speaker 3: in March of twenty twenty three, they tore down Yes,
Speaker 3: they were going through and they were developing, and they
Speaker 3: tore down a historic landmark and it was a Lincolnshire
Speaker 3: pub that was in the Register of Haunted Pubs and
Speaker 3: Haunted Buildings.
Speaker 1: Ah, that developer screwed.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was part of the punch Bowl in
Speaker 3: built in the seventeen hundreds and said to be haunted.
Speaker 3: And you know what, the the court ruled they had
Speaker 3: to rebuild it from the rubble, just like the just
Speaker 3: the same. It's like they saw this. I think I
Speaker 3: kind of feel like they're in Australia with the with
Speaker 3: the A C. D C House, Like, hey, you know
Speaker 3: what they made them do back in Lancolnshire. They made
Speaker 3: them go back over there, pick up all that mess
Speaker 3: they made and start putting the pieces back together. It's
Speaker 3: like you wrecked your you wrecked your little brother's legos,
Speaker 3: you put it back together.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine? Can you imagine put yourself in the
Speaker 1: shoes of the developer when you learned that, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's like thatcial, I want to get away remember that.
Speaker 5: But I don't think it's a coincidence that a pub
Speaker 5: they consider haunted because you drink enough, everybody see spirit.
Speaker 1: Somebody on Twitter said that it would be better if
Speaker 1: it was a strip club. No, A bar would be a.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I just thought it was funny you
Speaker 4: brought that up.
Speaker 3: It's like I heard that story about the about the
Speaker 3: A c DC house and I didn't put two and
Speaker 3: two together until you said it because I was like, oh, wait,
Speaker 3: we're doing a beer show here, because that's what we do,
Speaker 3: you know. And uh and our good buddy Kip send
Speaker 3: me this beer story. It's like a Lincolnshire pub that
Speaker 3: was on the Haunted Registry of Building or the Registry
Speaker 3: of Haunted Buildings. Say, I just pulled a bill, I
Speaker 3: got the words out of order. Not so not so easy,
Speaker 3: isn't I remember my first damn radio all right? And
Speaker 3: uh yeah, they said, all right, here's the deal. You
Speaker 3: gotta put it back together using all the stuff you
Speaker 3: knocked down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get to it.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty i'd be that's yeah. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I I feel for the developer who got the news that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you you know what you did, right? What I do?
Speaker 1: You know that house that you demolished, Yeah, I felt
Speaker 1: that house.
Speaker 3: Who you wanted to put in a Smorrow Pizza or
Speaker 3: Orange Julius, But but it was Angus Young's birthplace, you know,
Speaker 3: like all right.
Speaker 1: Uh, I wouldn't. I'm gonna say that. I ain't nineteen
Speaker 1: days into dry January and I'm still going.
Speaker 4: Strong, and I'm I'm glad it's you not me, So.
Speaker 1: Take it away and take that dogfish head.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just gonna say February first, all James
Speaker 3: friends are gonna be knocking on the door, Hey, is
Speaker 3: your studio open? Can we come back and play? We're
Speaker 3: not coming over there for this.
Speaker 1: They usually stop by in like March April.
Speaker 3: It takes him a while, it does because, yeah, because
Speaker 3: it's kind of a shell shock. It's like, well, maybe
Speaker 3: he's going another month, maybe he wants to try and
Speaker 3: see if he can keep it going. Like no, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna take that chance, and I'm not gonna be
Speaker 3: the one who gets him back off the wagon. All right,
Speaker 3: dogfish head. Yeah, as James was alluding to, it's like
Speaker 3: they know you're gonna break your resolution.
Speaker 1: No one ever commits. They go about, what is it
Speaker 1: to two Fridays?
Speaker 3: The second Friday Friday in January is Quitter's Day.
Speaker 1: It's out of the way February. You know, when you
Speaker 1: make it to February, make it the second Friday.
Speaker 3: Right, Bill this is a good idea. I've got an
Speaker 3: idea next year for Harbor Light Brewing. You need to
Speaker 3: have a beer release for the second Friday in January
Speaker 3: called Quitter's.
Speaker 4: Beer a idea.
Speaker 3: It's a great idea, and we'll just play in the event.
Speaker 3: It's like, listen, just hey, go drink all your non
Speaker 3: alcoholic beer. Hey, listen, I know you guys say you
Speaker 3: aren't gonna quit. Talk to me on Friday. Okay, I
Speaker 3: know it's Thursday night and tomorrow's Friday, and you say
Speaker 3: you're not gonna quit and talk to me on Friday.
Speaker 3: All right. Meanwhile, you know where to find us, Come
Speaker 3: on buy and have a beer with us. But dogfish
Speaker 3: Head wants you to give up your New Year's resolution
Speaker 3: and give up dry January for thirty minutes. I know
Speaker 3: it seems like a strange request, but dogfish Head, makers
Speaker 3: of the sixty ninety and one twenty minute ipa, Actually
Speaker 3: they made a seventy five minute one in there too.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember that one that was
Speaker 3: a Big Bottle series, But they released that and they
Speaker 3: decided to release a thirty minute light IPA and guess
Speaker 3: when they released it on quitter's Day. So they don't
Speaker 3: really want you to quit for thirty minutes. They want
Speaker 3: you to quit for thirty minute ipa, which is a
Speaker 3: ninety six calorie, three point six gram of carbs and
Speaker 3: a twelve ounce serving. That's right, that's how most things come.
Speaker 3: Twelve ounce mittles, twelve bounce cans, ninety six calories, three
Speaker 3: point six grams of carbs, and that that beer there,
Speaker 3: I think it comes in like four point four point
Speaker 3: two or four point three percent ABV. I didn't get
Speaker 3: that on my stat sheet here. But that's not the point.
Speaker 3: The point is low abb low carbs, low calories. We
Speaker 3: know you're gonna quit, but you don't have to go
Speaker 3: and get a velvet merk and bourbon barrel aged and
Speaker 3: drink like you know, Bill and Chad. But you can
Speaker 3: go lighten up a little bit and go ahead and
Speaker 3: do that, and you know, go ahead and submit your
Speaker 3: your quitter stories to dogfish Head and uh yeah, the
Speaker 3: top three stories get a twenty get twenty dollars and
Speaker 3: a Quitter's Day participation. That is the best I saw that,
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I want to say that with a
Speaker 3: straight face.
Speaker 4: I don't think I can it' sorry.
Speaker 3: If you quit, you get an award. Best.
Speaker 1: They have no faith, they have no faith in your resolution.
Speaker 3: I love it. They're gonna give you twenty your best
Speaker 3: quitter's day story.
Speaker 4: You get twenty bucks and a medal.
Speaker 1: I can take a participation trophy.
Speaker 3: All right, good job, dogfish head. Either way, I'm thinking about, well,
Speaker 3: i'd have to quit. I have to quit before I
Speaker 3: could participate.
Speaker 1: But all right, I quit those gym memberships that you
Speaker 1: just signed up for. All Right, we gotta sa hey, uh,
Speaker 1: let's take a break. Coming up, we gotta talk about
Speaker 1: Buddy the Elf. Buddy the Elf is surfaced at a
Speaker 1: hockey game now looking too good. We gotta talk about that.
Speaker 1: All this is so much more. Hang with this, We'll
Speaker 1: be right back.
Speaker 2: The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap.
Speaker 2: Stay safe, drink more beer. You've got What's on tap Radio?

Speaker 4: of Wisdom or Confucianism. You know, just you you you
Speaker 4: hear it.

Speaker 3: your liver takes a break, the brain gets engaged, and

Speaker 3: oh empty glass, dude, dude, slow down.
Speaker 1: Trail pass, I PA non alcoholics Heierra, Nevada at zero
Speaker 1: point five percent ABV. I'm telling you, blindfold taste test
Speaker 1: people would not be able to identify this as an
Speaker 1: a beer. Just been that out there, very happy. It's
Speaker 1: got a really really piny taste from the Amorillone Cascade Hops.
Speaker 3: I gotta I got a story about dry January and
Speaker 3: my non alcoholic beer experience. So I was at a
Speaker 3: local grocery store and there was a guy pouring samples
Speaker 3: of the athletic beers.
Speaker 1: They're good.
Speaker 4: He had, they're good. He had three athletic beers.
Speaker 1: They have one cracking later.
Speaker 3: But okay, he had the Golden Aile, he had the Hazy,
Speaker 3: and he had the regular American I p A.
Speaker 4: The American I p A was delicious. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: It was very good.
Speaker 3: I never would have guessed it was non alcoholic. But
Speaker 3: the guy, I am not joking. He had an higher
Speaker 3: script on an eight and a half by eleven sheet
Speaker 3: of paper, and he says, and he's holding this beer
Speaker 3: is refreshingly delicious, and it's made with I'm just like, dude,
Speaker 3: stop just stop. It's made with Simeco hops and caskets.
Speaker 1: Like I'm just like big fan of it's I'm just like, dude,
Speaker 1: stop stop stop. This one here trying to make a
Speaker 1: paycheck check.
Speaker 3: He is trying to make a.
Speaker 4: Paycheck, and I felt bad form.
Speaker 3: But all right, well, speaking of cutting some slack, James,
Speaker 3: I don't know what your beer glass looks like, but
Speaker 3: ours are empty.
Speaker 1: Mine's empty beer. I'm actually I got the Hazy that
Speaker 1: I'm actually about to bring to the.
Speaker 3: All right, well, why don't you crack open that Hazy?
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, Bill, Bill's got he's just cracked up in
Speaker 3: a beer that he brought back from the Michigan Craft
Speaker 3: Brewers Conference, Expo, trade Show, Symposium, Meeting, Extraordinant whatever it is.
Speaker 3: And I'm not even gonna Bill, I'm not even gonna try.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's the name of that beer.
Speaker 5: It's from Jolly Pumpkin, and I'm not even gonna try.
Speaker 3: No, No, you have to per seguidor you nailed it.
Speaker 5: Okay, artists and blended sour ale.
Speaker 4: Now here's everything that's in this beer.
Speaker 5: Listen to this, Okay. I gotta take a deep breath
Speaker 5: because it's kind of a long one. It's an ale
Speaker 5: brewed with juniper berries, rose hips, roast petals, hibiscus, lemon peel, coriander,
Speaker 5: lemon grass, sweet and bitter orange peel, with chocolate, roasted chestnuts,
Speaker 5: blood orange, and ginger added.
Speaker 1: Basically, it was brew with a flower bed.
Speaker 3: We got done making fruitcake and this was everything left
Speaker 3: on the table, and he said, just rake all this crap.
Speaker 1: Just go rip some flowers out of my flower bed
Speaker 1: and beer with it.
Speaker 4: It's actually very delicious.
Speaker 5: That's pretty good though, for I mean, I could not
Speaker 5: pick out well, I might be able to pick out
Speaker 5: like one of those ingredients, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: I like to me I've had some good jolly pumpkin
Speaker 1: beers over the years.
Speaker 3: This is fantastic. Actually, this is a it's more like
Speaker 3: an old bruin. It's a Flanders or a Flanders red
Speaker 3: and very very tart. It's got a very high acidity.
Speaker 3: But it's got some dark Actually, it has a more
Speaker 3: like cherry fruits nerds lot darker than I thought it
Speaker 3: was going to be. You know, good stuff, all right.
Speaker 3: I know we're nerding out here, but hey, you know
Speaker 3: what we're drinking. You know, we're drinking as opposed to
Speaker 3: taking a break. And there are some breweries and brewer
Speaker 3: guild Speaking of guilds out there, we got this from
Speaker 3: the Michigan Craft Brewers Guild that are fighting back against
Speaker 3: dry January. Wait to go, guys, that's right. We're gonna
Speaker 3: Why they're.
Speaker 1: Doing it though, because it affects the local breweries. Because
Speaker 1: when you're going out buying all these in a beers,
Speaker 1: guess what, you're not supporting these small, local, mama pop breweries.
Speaker 1: So I get it.
Speaker 3: Celebrate celebrate Oregon beer. Yeah, you got your dry January.
Speaker 3: They've got pub January because you know this dry January,
Speaker 3: all these resolutions that you're gonna break anyway. Tough on
Speaker 3: business for breweries, and it's a slow beer drinking month anyway.
Speaker 3: So they're fighting back and they said, you know what
Speaker 3: we want you to do, and this is a great
Speaker 3: marketing campaign. They're not telling you to break your resolution.
Speaker 3: They're not telling you to drink beer. They're not telling
Speaker 3: you to drink alcoholic beer and give up non alcoholic beer.
Speaker 3: They're just telling you to go and visit your local brewery,
Speaker 3: tap room or your local pub. Why because people spend
Speaker 3: so much time during the winter months in isolation that
Speaker 3: actually contributes to their depression. And beer makes people feel better,
Speaker 3: but so does social interaction. So during these cold winter months,
Speaker 3: like for example, Harbor Light Brewery is a beach down
Speaker 3: summertime booming, but you locals get over to Harbor Light
Speaker 3: and in January and go over there and belly up
Speaker 3: to the bar. Dude, have your own version of pub
Speaker 3: January like celebrate organ beer does. Because this is going
Speaker 3: to help keep brewers in business, whether you're drinking alcoholic beer,
Speaker 3: non alcoholic beer, or any other beverage. But if nothing else,
Speaker 3: you're lifting your spirits by hanging out with other people. Now,
Speaker 3: another craft brewery entity, the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they're fighting back as well.
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, January is bad for brewers, so they
Speaker 3: decided to have a My Illinois Beer Fridge Contest.
Speaker 4: I love this.
Speaker 3: This is great, same thing. They're not telling you to
Speaker 3: break your resolution, but they know if you're not drinking,
Speaker 3: you're also not stocking up on beer and that hurts brewers.
Speaker 4: So you're not spending money. Now think about this.
Speaker 3: You're gonna go dry January, so that means you stock
Speaker 3: up your beer fridge and you drink all the way
Speaker 3: up till midnight on December thirty. First, yay, and then
Speaker 3: you're like, uh, I had to go the whole month
Speaker 3: without drinking. You drink the last beer out of your fridge.
Speaker 3: You're pretty empty. That's actually pretty good impression on me.
Speaker 4: Jad and your beer fridge looks sad.
Speaker 3: It just like, ah, I drink it all well. People
Speaker 3: aren't stocking up and they're waiting till February to go
Speaker 3: back and buy. And what My Illinois Beer Fridge Contest
Speaker 3: does is they want you to go and stock up
Speaker 3: and fill your beer fridge. Take a picture of it
Speaker 3: and tag my Illinois beer fridge, My il beer fridge
Speaker 3: and the best beer fridges are getting gift certificates from
Speaker 3: the CVB and the Tourism Bureau and the brewers guilds
Speaker 3: to go visit breweries whenever they start drinking again. I
Speaker 3: love this. This is a great promotion. It's like, we're
Speaker 3: not telling you to break your resolution. We're just saying
Speaker 3: that whenever February first comes around, we want to give
Speaker 3: you some cash to go spend there. But in the meantime,
Speaker 3: if you don't mind, go visit these breweries. Get out,
Speaker 3: get some social interaction, drink your non alcoholic beers, but
Speaker 3: also stock up your beer fridge. Fill it up, take
Speaker 3: a photo of it, tag us and we'll send you
Speaker 3: a gift certificate.
Speaker 5: Support your local brewery.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love this.
Speaker 4: This is great marketing.
Speaker 3: This is good stuff for breweries fighting back against people
Speaker 3: who were like, yeah, this is the year I get
Speaker 3: six pack abs and you know what, you know, this
Speaker 3: is another thing I love about the brewing industry. All
Speaker 3: these people they say, we're gonna go ahead and give
Speaker 3: up beer. You know, we're gonna work on our health
Speaker 3: and we're gonna get our six pack abs. And then
Speaker 3: in February when they come back and they were still
Speaker 3: wearing the same size pants. They Nobody behind the bar says,
Speaker 3: AH told you you might not get the six pack abs,
Speaker 3: but you could pick up a six pack.
Speaker 4: Hey see, look at that right there. Keep working on
Speaker 4: your keg.
Speaker 3: I feel targeted, sorry, James, as Bill and I are
Speaker 3: sitting here enjoying this wonderful Pressgur Door or whatever it is,
Speaker 3: jolly Pumpkin sour, which is seven point eight percent.
Speaker 4: It's a Flanders. It's a beautiful beer.
Speaker 3: And James's glass is empty, and he's gonna be long.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna crack here. And after we take a break,
Speaker 1: and before I do my hold my beer and watch this.
Speaker 1: But I ask people, ask me, why do you do it?
Speaker 1: I just like to do it because I like a
Speaker 1: good challenge. I like a good challenge and like to
Speaker 1: see if I can do it. And I did it
Speaker 1: last year, and here I went nineteen days in, still
Speaker 1: going strong. And I'm saying, there are some really good
Speaker 1: NA beers out there. It's not just those terrible I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna mention the the other ones that used to be.
Speaker 1: You know when your dad and grandpa used to drink
Speaker 1: back in the eighties. Those are terrible. But the stuff
Speaker 1: that's put out these days blind taste tests, I could
Speaker 1: you not you would not be able to identify which
Speaker 1: one is the alcoholic version versus the ana beer. So
Speaker 1: you know, give it a try or not.
Speaker 4: Or or support you.
Speaker 1: I mean you can still go out and support your
Speaker 1: local breweries. Go buy some six packs to go, and
Speaker 1: then when it comes February first boom, you have beer
Speaker 1: to drink to celebrate that you made it through a
Speaker 1: month without Uh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Been thinking about Bill and I got on the wagon once.
Speaker 4: We just didn't see a bar. So we're off the wagon,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 1: We gotta take a break. Coming up next hour. We
Speaker 1: got home on beer and watched this speed dating. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about speed dating because bush Light is letting
Speaker 1: you speed dates. We're gona talking about that buddy the
Speaker 1: Elf showed up to a hockey game. I'm not looking
Speaker 1: so good. All this is so much more, including hold
Speaker 1: on beer and watch this. We'll be right back for
Speaker 1: our number two.
Speaker 2: Here a what's on tap radio? We know two types
Speaker 2: of people, those you drink with and those that make

Speaker 3: Tenhacin insurance group located in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Holland
Speaker 3: along the Lake Shore RTI Grand Rapids RTI Grand Rapids
Speaker 3: dot Com.
Speaker 1: Why our number two? What's on Tap Radio starts now,
Speaker 1: Season eleven, Episode two.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: What sets us apart from other podcasts is that most podcasts,
Speaker 1: their seasons are around nine or ten episodes. Ours forty
Speaker 1: eight episodes a season, right, perst season, perst season pers Right.
Speaker 3: But you were telling me at one point in time
Speaker 3: when I first got started with you, working with you.
Speaker 3: James been doing radio twenty years, and you know, he
Speaker 3: was kind enough to say, uh, oh, I think I
Speaker 3: can work with you. And he let me let me
Speaker 3: step up to the mic. Yeah, you're adequate, and uh
Speaker 3: he told me, he says, you know what the average
Speaker 3: length of a podcast is. So this is when podcasts
Speaker 3: were just popping up all over the time. You're all
Speaker 3: over the place all the time, just boom bom boom,
Speaker 3: boom boom. The average length of the of a podcast
Speaker 3: was six episodes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, between six and yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was ridiculously low. Not six and ten a year,
Speaker 3: but six and ten period. And then they went away.
Speaker 3: And we we've watched and I mean we've we've seen
Speaker 3: some good friends doing podcasts for a long time, and
Speaker 3: you know, they just eventually, you know, they either burned out,
Speaker 3: tapped out, just you know, or found better opportunity and
Speaker 3: moved on whatever it was, or just whatever it was.
Speaker 1: A lot of times you just lose the steam, they
Speaker 1: lose the motivation for it. That's what it is.
Speaker 3: Yep. But we saw a lot pop up in a
Speaker 3: very short period of time and they were like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're the new hottest podcast talk about craft beer. And
Speaker 3: they did like four or five episodes and.
Speaker 1: Gone, I remember, like what this is obviously before plandemic whatever.
Speaker 1: But I'll go on these podcasts and they're like, what
Speaker 1: advice would you give somebody who you know started a podcast?
Speaker 1: And the number one advice I can give somebody who
Speaker 1: starting a podcast is do the podcast.
Speaker 3: Podcast told me that yeah, don't just I don't care,
Speaker 3: I don't care who's listening, doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: You got to keep going.
Speaker 3: You have to if you if you stop, because that
Speaker 3: first time you do one.
Speaker 4: Everybody and your brother and your mother's gonna listen and you.
Speaker 1: Support it and yep, we love you, man.
Speaker 3: And then you'll do episode two, and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, the numbers dropped down to like like ten
Speaker 3: percent of what it was. It's like, what didn't you
Speaker 3: guys like it? And it's like, oh no, I forgot
Speaker 3: about it, and yeah, I'll try and catch it next week.
Speaker 3: And then I'll try and catch it and they and
Speaker 3: they never do. But then all of a sudden, a
Speaker 3: year goes by and your numbers are low and everything,
Speaker 3: and then of a sudden they're like, you're still doing that, man,
Speaker 3: I gotta go catch up. And then all of a
Speaker 3: sudden your numbers start coming up.
Speaker 1: I just gotta hang in just you gotta hang in there.
Speaker 4: You gotta be consistent.
Speaker 1: It took us about ten years before we got a
Speaker 1: good amount of listeners.
Speaker 3: So, speaking of being consistent, James all through January, he's
Speaker 3: gonna be steady. He's not gonna be uh drinking any
Speaker 3: alcoholic beer. He's gonna stick with the na's And but
Speaker 3: his glass is empty, it's time to refill.
Speaker 1: I'm cracking his beer down here because the last time
Speaker 1: I open one. It fitsts everywhere, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to fizz all on my equipment. Oh okay, cool, so
Speaker 1: I didn't splatter everywhere. So this is the athletic hazy
Speaker 1: I p A that Chad was talking about when he
Speaker 1: went out to the I guess local local grocery store
Speaker 1: and there was a guy. This is athletic hazy ip a.
Speaker 1: This is at zero point five percent. I'll call by volume.
Speaker 4: This is in a twelve ounce camp.
Speaker 1: So gut some haze to it and go ahead. Take
Speaker 1: us what it is. I thought it kills it. Man.
Speaker 1: This is really good athletic. I like the Trailblades. The
Speaker 1: Trailblazes has a little more hot to it than the
Speaker 1: hazy IPA from athletic. But not bad, not bad at all.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do.
Speaker 2: Yes now beer and watch this brought to you by
Speaker 2: the ring meld of ten Hacen Insurance Group, where they'll

Speaker 3: the world and everything.
Speaker 4: You're trying to motivate them.

Speaker 3: is I didn't tell everybody that I'm a beer salesman.
Speaker 3: I talk about beer. I'm a motivational speaker. You know,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of those people.
Speaker 4: I just said.
Speaker 3: I told people I was a professional beer drinker, and
Speaker 3: that got people's attention. Now that's the only reference I made.
Speaker 3: The superintendent of the school, I thought her head was
Speaker 3: going to explode when I said that.
Speaker 4: I said, don't worry. There aren't any kids around. Don't worry.
Speaker 3: And it's not like I cracked open a beer like
Speaker 3: I just did. Harvard light Bill brought some beer.

Speaker 3: All right, that's enough nerdy stuff. Let's get onto the
Speaker 3: fun stuff. James, how would you like free beer for
Speaker 3: a year.
Speaker 4: That's fun?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Oh wait, did you quit drinking.
Speaker 1: Just in January?
Speaker 4: All right, so James gets free beer for eleven months.
Speaker 1: I mean I'll take it. Fine, I'll take it. I'll
Speaker 1: just put in my fridge and then come February first,
Speaker 1: I'll have something to have it. I'll have something to crack.
Speaker 3: And then you could actually take a picture and you
Speaker 3: could tag it my Illinois beer fridge and maybe you
Speaker 3: get money to spend when you come up to Chicago.
Speaker 1: Speaking of fridges, I have a story coming up about fridge.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we have so many stories about refrigerators,
Speaker 1: but we do.
Speaker 3: We do, all right. I just I think it's great
Speaker 3: that just all these people are working together to build
Speaker 3: just this culture in their city. I mean, Oregon's doing it,
Speaker 3: Illinois is doing it, and here we are now Saint Paul, Minnesota,
Speaker 3: and they are partnering. The Saint Paul Brewing Company is
Speaker 3: partnering with can Cam Wonderland, which is a mini golf
Speaker 3: and arcade, and.
Speaker 1: They have crazy i've heard in a long time.
Speaker 3: It's like it's almost like the Willy Wonka story, but
Speaker 3: it's the hunt for the Golden beer can.
Speaker 1: And this is way cooler than brew Dog.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because they're not telling you it's real gold
Speaker 3: it's it's just gold plated. But they're telling what you
Speaker 3: get for this.
Speaker 4: But this is what I love.
Speaker 3: They've hidden the golden beer can on public land, so
Speaker 3: they want you to go around and visit the city
Speaker 3: looking for this and they're giving clues. Now, if you
Speaker 3: find this, here's what you're gonna get. Okay, You're gonna
Speaker 3: get a thousand dollars party at the arcade. So you
Speaker 3: get to go to cancm Wonderland and throw a big
Speaker 3: bash for a thousand bucks and you get free beer
Speaker 3: for a year from the brewery.
Speaker 1: And this is happening right now, isn't it.
Speaker 3: What's going on today company Saint Paul, Minnesota. Three times
Speaker 3: a week, they're gonna be sending out clues as to
Speaker 3: where this can is and the clues are going to
Speaker 3: keep coming until the treasure is found, with the last
Speaker 3: clue being given Sunday, January twenty sixth. And I love the.
Speaker 4: Warnings that they put on here.
Speaker 3: This is great. It's like, listen, it's gonna be hidden
Speaker 3: on public land, so don't go trespassing. Don't go wandering
Speaker 3: around private property looking for this. It's gonna be on
Speaker 3: public grounds. And they said, and it's not gonna be
Speaker 3: anywhere dangerous. So if you're climbing up trees or you're
Speaker 3: scaling fences or walls and you hurt yourself, it's going
Speaker 3: to be a very awkward conversation with your doctor when
Speaker 3: you say you hurt yourself.
Speaker 4: Looking for beer. It's just don't do it.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be public grounds, easy to find, safe to find.
Speaker 3: But can can Wonderland Arcade in mini golf course partnering
Speaker 3: with Saint Paul Brewing Company on the pursuit for the
Speaker 3: Golden Beer Can to get you to go out and
Speaker 3: visit Saint Paul, Minnesota. Go and see the public ground,
Speaker 3: see the parks, the public areas, check out the green space.
Speaker 3: While it's probably covered in snow so but regardless the
Speaker 3: parks and everything that's local. And you find this golden
Speaker 3: pier can beer, can you get a thousand dollars party
Speaker 3: at can Cam Wonderland and beer for a year from
Speaker 3: the brewery.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, whoever does this has
Speaker 1: to be really really dedicated because I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: current temperature right now in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Three degrees
Speaker 1: three three degrees.
Speaker 4: That's that's one number.
Speaker 1: So when you're out there searching for this golden can,
Speaker 1: make sure that you dress appropriately because.
Speaker 5: It is cold and will be frozen by the time
Speaker 5: you find it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it has real beer in it, but that
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. But the point is is you found it.
Speaker 3: And if you find it, by the way, hold don't
Speaker 3: don't hold it up and like kiss it because your
Speaker 3: lips will stick to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you'd be like the kid on Christmas story with
Speaker 4: your tongue stuck to the pole, stuck to a beer can.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like you got to be really really
Speaker 1: dedicated to go out there and then and find this
Speaker 1: beer because three degrees uh huh, huh huh. You ain't
Speaker 1: catching me trying to find a going on scavenger hunt. Now.
Speaker 1: I talked about the brew Dog because brew Dog years
Speaker 1: ago had a golden can where they what do they
Speaker 1: put it in a six pack or twelve pack and
Speaker 1: then it was just like a kind of a wooly
Speaker 1: wonka thing where you just randomly found it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then it really wasn't gold.
Speaker 3: Well, what they advertised was they said it was a
Speaker 3: fourteen carrot solid gold can, right and they oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and they said it was worth millions or something like that,
Speaker 3: and you know, are worth thousands. And what they implied
Speaker 3: was is that, I mean, everybody knows if you if
Speaker 3: you got a solid gold beer can and you went
Speaker 3: and cashed it in, I mean that's thousands and thousands
Speaker 3: and thousands of dollars. And whenever they got it, it
Speaker 3: was like just gold plated aluminium and it was just
Speaker 3: and it was worth nothing. And they said, no, it
Speaker 3: was a marketing campaign, and the thousands and thousands that
Speaker 3: we talked about were basically in marketing value for you
Speaker 3: to be able to brag and say you found it
Speaker 3: and like no, no, no, no, no, this is this
Speaker 3: is not that's not how this works. No, you came
Speaker 3: out and told us at what it was worth. And
Speaker 3: apparently they lost a lawsuit on that and they had
Speaker 3: to pay out. I don't know if they had to
Speaker 3: pay out the equivalent of what that can was worth,
Speaker 3: but they did pay out a lot of money to
Speaker 3: make those people whole because they found it. And it's
Speaker 3: like you miss led people into going to search for
Speaker 3: this beer can or these beer cans.
Speaker 1: But I like them, But I like I like this,
Speaker 1: like this story. You go go out, go on a
Speaker 1: scavenger run, but they're not gonna throw it in some
Speaker 1: like train tracks or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go down there and when the train goes by,
Speaker 3: jumping between the reels, don't touch the third reel.
Speaker 1: But uh, I like that. That's a great idea. I
Speaker 1: think other Bruce should jump on that, just because that's
Speaker 1: a good way to see your city. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: if they if they put it out some like tourist destinations,
Speaker 1: maybe that you haven't seen before. I don't know. A
Speaker 1: year of free beer and uh if you find this
Speaker 1: golden can Saint Paul in three degrees. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a break still to come. Got so much stories
Speaker 1: to get to, including speed dating thing we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about refrigerators. I have no idea why, but we are
Speaker 1: all so much more. Hang with us. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1: each side so either of you can access it when
Speaker 1: you want a beer. And they only made one and
Speaker 1: they're holding a contest. Uh you can win by following
Speaker 1: them on social and explaining why you and your neighbor
Speaker 1: do deserve it. And it comes with a year's worth
Speaker 1: of beer, which they claimed is one twenty four pack
Speaker 1: a month for each home. So anyone who actually wants
Speaker 1: this to be drinking a case of case a week.
Speaker 1: You do the math, and they came up with it
Speaker 1: after a poll that found sixty percent of Americans wish
Speaker 1: they had a closer relationship with their next door neighbors.
Speaker 1: So sharing the cheap beer's the easy part. My question
Speaker 1: is who's putting the electric bill? That's the question I was.
Speaker 3: Just gonna say. This is gonna come down to. It's like, hey,
Speaker 3: I put us in for this, and then the neighbor's
Speaker 3: gonna be like, cool, so you're paying for the electricity.
Speaker 4: Sure, I'll pay for electricity.
Speaker 3: But then whenever it comes time when the guy goes
Speaker 3: to sell the house and one of the guys moves,
Speaker 3: and then the new neighbor comes in, and the guy's
Speaker 3: a jerk and he doesn't want to share the neighbor
Speaker 3: raider with him. He's like, hey, I'm gonna take my
Speaker 3: neighbor raader back. He's like, no, no, no, that's on
Speaker 3: the property line. It's right there in the fence.
Speaker 4: That's community proper.
Speaker 3: That's shared. In fact, when I bought that was part
Speaker 3: of the reason I picked this house over the one
Speaker 3: down the street because of the beer fridge. Well it's
Speaker 3: not yours. I could see some problems coming from.
Speaker 1: Well, it does lock on both sides, by the way,
Speaker 1: so if there's ever a falling out and your neighbor
Speaker 1: get drunkling cross through to murder you, you can lock
Speaker 1: it on one side. So Natty Light makes made a
Speaker 1: double sided fridge, just one for you to share with
Speaker 1: your neighbor, just one, so you can enter this contest
Speaker 1: at I'm not gonna give the website because not a sponsor,
Speaker 1: but hey, it looks pretty cool. I put a picture
Speaker 1: of it on our social at What's on Tap Radio.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Natty Light made a double sided fridge for
Speaker 1: you to share it with your neighbor. So if you're
Speaker 1: close with your neighbor, there you go. All right, we
Speaker 1: got to take a break coming up in the last segment,
Speaker 1: but of the elf not looking so good. And then
Speaker 1: there's a Japanese actor who did beer ads and he
Speaker 1: got fired for drinking beer. We'll try to make sense
Speaker 1: of it all. Coming up in the last segment's What's
Speaker 1: on top Radio? Hanging with us for one more we'll
Speaker 1: drive back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we drink water, but it has to be filtered
Speaker 2: through a brewery first. What's on tap Radio?
Speaker 3: All right, it's not time to go yet, but it's
Speaker 3: getting close and I'm feeling kind of sad. That may
Speaker 3: be because we just had to share a beer with
Speaker 3: the yard.
Speaker 5: Technically snow Bank. Yeah, snow Bank.
Speaker 3: It's cold here.
Speaker 1: I've had some great conversations sharing a beer with my sink.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, I know, I know a brewer worked
Speaker 3: hard to make this beer, but not hard enough because
Speaker 3: it was going gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah the garbage, drink it right up.
Speaker 3: Last segment for the week. What's on Tap Radio? Thanks
Speaker 3: for sticking with us here, Harbor Light Bill?
Speaker 1: Just mean episode season eleven, episode.
Speaker 4: Yeah something like that. Yeah, yeah, I don't know what
Speaker 4: are we drinking here?
Speaker 3: Tell everybody what this is real quick?
Speaker 5: The try our house ale from Scotland.
Speaker 4: Actually, oh so good. I love this beer.
Speaker 3: You don't find this very often, Harbor Light Bill and
Speaker 3: I picked it up a party store in Grand Haven.
Speaker 3: Michigan and and I said, dude, good stuff, and he says,
Speaker 3: I've never had it. Well, now we're sharing, and James,
Speaker 3: we'll share with you next month.
Speaker 1: All right, all right here, dogfish Ada, I'm sticking with it.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: What's the ABV on this?
Speaker 3: And there's the reason I'm asking seven point two? Seven
Speaker 3: point two, So that would be, would you consider that
Speaker 3: a low alcohol beer?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: Well all right, well then I guess we are no
Speaker 3: longer in the running for a to be the face
Speaker 3: of a low alcohol beer advertisement in Japan. I mean
Speaker 3: I was auditioning.
Speaker 4: I was ready. I was brushing up on my Japanese.
Speaker 3: I know, Bill and I were thinking we had a shot,
Speaker 3: and uh, we're gonna get our It's going to be
Speaker 3: our big break.
Speaker 1: But uh, popular jem his job opening coming up?
Speaker 3: There is there is a popular Japanese actor no longer
Speaker 3: doing ads for a low alcohol beer after getting fired
Speaker 3: from Asai Breweries.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: The actor who has over eighty screen credits, Royo Yoshizawa.
Speaker 4: Big hit is huge and huge in Japan.
Speaker 1: Yeah is really. I looked up as IMDb. He's been
Speaker 1: in a lot of movies.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Fashion Magazine has called him a national treasure
Speaker 3: and a class of handsomeness. He's very hot.
Speaker 1: He's very hot.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, known for his commercials with the three point
Speaker 3: five percent super dry dry crystal beer.
Speaker 1: It's clearer, I think, yeah, yes, yeah, I looked at it.
Speaker 4: Just yeah.
Speaker 3: Not to be confused with crystal servers, which is featured
Speaker 3: in Star Wars, if you know anything about that.
Speaker 4: But that's another that's another sided check.
Speaker 3: But the thirty year old actor one of Japan's most
Speaker 3: popular actors. He was out on December thirtieth, having a
Speaker 3: good old time before the new year. And well, I
Speaker 3: don't think he was consuming the three point five percent
Speaker 3: super dry dry crystal beer. Maybe something a little bit stronger.
Speaker 3: And the Japanese actor known for promoting low alcohol beer
Speaker 3: was intoxicated. And well, I busted for breaking into his
Speaker 3: neighbor's home. But he didn't really break in. He just stumbled,
Speaker 3: walted right, and he walked into the wrong apartment to
Speaker 3: use the bathroom. He's like he thought he was home
Speaker 3: or something. He thought he knew the guy just walked in.
Speaker 3: He's like, I lost my memories. I think I just
Speaker 3: went in without asking because I just had to use
Speaker 3: the bathroom. That's what he told local media and well
Speaker 3: aside group, the brewering group. Now they told the media,
Speaker 3: we've decided to terminate his contract. So the popular Japanese
Speaker 3: actor fired from a low alcohol beer ad because he
Speaker 3: was drunk and charged with breaking into a neighbor's home.
Speaker 3: Statement from the publicist and from him personally, he wanted
Speaker 3: to apologize. He apologized to his neighbor. He's like, I'm
Speaker 3: really sorry, but also saying that they sincerely apologize to
Speaker 3: the fans and the related parties for the concern and
Speaker 3: inconvenience it caused. Because like other countries, drinking has been
Speaker 3: on the decline in Japan with low percentage and even
Speaker 3: alcohol free beverages and even abstaining and those all those
Speaker 3: things growing in popularity, especially amongst younger people.
Speaker 4: That must be his demographic.
Speaker 3: That's his p one demographic right there is people under thirty.
Speaker 5: Maybe he just got you know lost in translation.
Speaker 3: Oh nice reference there, So I James has a little
Speaker 3: bit of sympathy.
Speaker 1: I feel they went a little too far with this punishment.
Speaker 1: It's not like he kicked down the door, guns ablaze
Speaker 1: in trying to rob the guy. He probably had to
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom really bad. You know, how have
Speaker 1: you ever had to go to the bathroom so bad?
Speaker 1: You're just like, ah, you can't even focus. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure he.
Speaker 4: Put his hand up because he's gotta prostay issue.
Speaker 1: He just has to do the baths a lot of water,
Speaker 1: and maybe he's like trying to get his keys and
Speaker 1: the doors. I can't I can't make it. I can't
Speaker 1: make it. And he just happened to go through his
Speaker 1: neighbors and the neighbor knows he lives next to a
Speaker 1: famous celebrity. If Ryan Reynolds lived right next door to
Speaker 1: you and he like walked in your house and used
Speaker 1: the bathroom, do you think you're gonna be calling the
Speaker 1: cops and like pressing charges on him. Like he's a
Speaker 1: very famous actor, Like everybody knows who he is. And
Speaker 1: so they're like, now he's got to go on apology
Speaker 1: tour and I'm sorry, and now he's getting fired because
Speaker 1: he accidentally walked into his neighbor's apartment to go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna back into this. I don't think
Speaker 3: anybody knows that he was drunk unless he walks into
Speaker 3: the wrong apartment. So if he doesn't walk into the
Speaker 3: wrong apartment. Nobody finds out he's drunk, but they arrested
Speaker 3: him or sorry, they dropped him as a client, essentially,
Speaker 3: you know, to promote this low alcohol beer because he
Speaker 3: was drunk, and that's not the image of low alcohol
Speaker 3: beer consumption.
Speaker 4: So maybe there's if you look at it from that perspective.
Speaker 3: Just you're right, he walked into the wrong door, and
Speaker 3: the guy's like, oh my gosh, or however you say.
Speaker 4: It in Japanese.
Speaker 1: And there might be more.
Speaker 4: Might call the police or whoever they are.
Speaker 1: There might be more of the story. He could be
Speaker 1: like a terrible neighbor who's always throwing parties all the time,
Speaker 1: and this was just the straw that broke the camel's back,
Speaker 1: like finally I got a way to get rid of
Speaker 1: this guy. Maybe that's what's happening, But there's no details
Speaker 1: in the story. From all we know that he had
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom and he walked into his
Speaker 1: neighbor's apartment and now he's getting kicked out of this
Speaker 1: these beer ads.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Something doesn't add up. I'm like I said, he didn't
Speaker 1: he didn't go guns and blazing in there. He didn't
Speaker 1: tiin anybody up. But all right, now he's out of
Speaker 1: a job because he walked into the wrong apartment. Have
Speaker 1: me meeting.
Speaker 4: Talksicated Bill's making mister Robato references.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, before we get out
Speaker 1: of here, I've been talking about the whole show. Buddy
Speaker 1: the Elf shows up to a hockey game. Will Ferrell
Speaker 1: shows up to a hockey game as an unshaven buddy
Speaker 1: of the Elf and took the social media by storm. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he appeared to be at an La King's hockey game
Speaker 1: where he's dressed up as Buddy the Elf. Apparently he
Speaker 1: has season tickets. But this Buddy the Elf was unshaven
Speaker 1: and very unhappy looking, and he was drinking a beer
Speaker 1: with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Like I said,
Speaker 1: took social media by storm. And so why do you
Speaker 1: do it? What's going on with Buddy the Elf? Well,
Speaker 1: he just wanted to do it. He just wanted to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He went on the Kelsey Brothers podcast called the New
Speaker 1: heightst Podcast. I love that podcast, and he said, quote,
Speaker 1: the reaction was insane, like what is he doing? Is
Speaker 1: he promoting something? But occasionally I just like to do
Speaker 1: weird things just to start up a little bit. And
Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, it was a candy cigarette,
Speaker 1: wasn't even real cigarettes. So that's why Will Ferrell showed
Speaker 1: up to a hockey game like an unshaven Buddy the Elf,
Speaker 1: because Buddy the Elf looked like he had been on
Speaker 1: the unemployment line for a while.
Speaker 3: Oh dude looked down and out like the only reason
Speaker 3: he was drinking beer is because he just ran out
Speaker 3: a ripple.
Speaker 1: They looked like life and knocked him down a few
Speaker 1: times and he just not fed up with it. But no,
Speaker 1: like I said, a season take a holder for the
Speaker 1: La Kings and just decided, you know what, Hey, it's
Speaker 1: the holidays, let's up dressed up like Buddy the Elf.
Speaker 1: But you know, he hadn't shaved because he hasn't done
Speaker 1: any TV or anything lately, so you know, why not
Speaker 1: have some fun. And again took the Internet by a
Speaker 1: storm and a few people send us that story. So
Speaker 1: that's the story behind why Will Farrell shut up to
Speaker 1: the hockey game like unshaven, unemployed Buddy the Elf.
Speaker 4: Yeah, looking like hell.
Speaker 1: He did look like hell.
Speaker 2: I do like that.
Speaker 3: You know in the scene in the movie where he
Speaker 3: Warrens everybody. He's walking across the street and the cabs
Speaker 3: almost in him. He's like, careful, the yellow ones don't stop.
Speaker 3: He was at the hockey gaming. He looked like he
Speaker 3: got hit by a couple. I mean he looked awful.
Speaker 1: But all for entertainment purposes only, all right, Speaking of
Speaker 1: entertainment purposes, Yeah, this show is over. I'm hearing the music.
Speaker 1: But before we get out of here, let's thank our
Speaker 1: wonderful advertisers that keep this podcast going. That's season eleven,
