Hello it’s time for more podcasting. That’s what we say before every episode, in unison - “mmmmm it’s time for more podcasting mmmmm” sort of like some Shaolin Monks or something. Well today we must have been out of unison or something because we pretty much just bullshit for 2 hours. On the docket: a big all-star week in Vegas, betting on the Pro Bowl and Tony’s break down of the big Super Bowl competition. Tony’s headed to Melbourne this week so he’s excited to get rip roaring drunk and walk a...

That's all I've got on this one...you're just gonna have to hear it to believe it. Alright see ya!! ★ Support this podcast ★

Heyyyyyyy yoooooooooooooooo! What’s up y’all!!!!!!!! Time for another ep of the BEER ENGINE PODCAST WOOOOOOOO. Alright that took up a couple lines. Well on today’s show, we brought the heat, if heat was “going for a long, long time.” We went for quite a while on some book recommendations and right wing conspiracy, and then dived into some tasty lagers and stuff. Altbier and the like, you know. Then, a straight up THICC beer news segment and you know that has Brewdog in it baby! Some James Watt c...

Despite the wishes of our haters, we are back for another week. I think our great president once said “Every time I speak of the haters and losers, I do so with great affection. They cannot help the fact that they were born fucked up!” And I hold to that as well. We love you even if you wanted to boycott our show because of our very influential awarding of Drippy awards. But this week we’re back, and with more great material, including some stuff about Tony’s favorite version of COVID, the “Omni...

Oh wow we're back! And it's time for our big annual awards show yay! Today's show reveals the nominees and winners and it's much, much better organized than last year. Last year I was sitting at a small kitchen table in downtown Las Vegas and had really only barely thought about who should be in these awards. This year we planned out some categories and everything. Anyways you'll hear about some of our favorites and our failures for the year gone by. It's pretty fun I guess, whatever. K bye!! Fo...

HI it’s MORE podcasting!!!!! On a special holiday episode, Tony and Griff plan out the annual Beer Engine Podcast Christmas Card and break down their upcoming Christmas meals for the 2nd year in a row. I’ll just never remember what they are cooking up over there. They get depressed about COVID AGAIN but not too depressed I guess. Then some menu analysis of various restaurants (????). Finally, some beer talk. Griff is drinking Heady Topper and a familiar lager of the week makes an appearance. Ton...

Hello! It's time for the show notes yaaaaaaa! Let's get this over with. On today's show, Griff and Tony return yet again with some of your favorite banter about….whatever. Eventually, they talk about beer for a while and Tony twists the Lager of the Week segment into a Coffee segment for some reason. Then it's more of that "news" crap with some sad stuff and some bad stuff and some silly stuff. At the end we played a game about Santa's balls and junk and stuff. Alright, good enough!!! ★ Support ...

Hiiiiiiiii. It’s time for some more podcasting! And there’s a lot of it! On this week’s show, we went on and on and on forever about Griff’s beers in Portland and some other stuff I guess. Our Discord was blowing up this week so we went over a lot of that good stuff, and the guys started to maybe think about getting into the holiday cheer. Cool! Also, some important news about cans and how hard it is to get your hands on a few cans these days. What a pain. There is a breakdown of the US Open Sel...

Hello! Hello! There's content ahead, ahoy! It's us again, on episode EIGHTYYYYY (maybe) of the show. How are you guys? Cool. Well today we did some crap about basketball, and some beer things and whatever else it was. Who knows really?? Also we played a game about Thanksgiving Food Network crap. It sounded super nasty and I hated it! Anyway, I hope you guys like it. We're probably taking next week off so try to find something else to pass 2 hours with. Maybe try like, talking to your spouse or s...

Ahh another day on the famous Quadrangle of the Mad Posters’ College. It’s just lovely out here in the Fall isn’t it? The changing leaves, the private jets taking off for a mysterious island in the Caribbean, the clickety-clack of the mega posters. We love it folks! Anyway, on today’s show, we talked about that I guess and also some other stuff related somehow to beer or whatever. Griff suffered through an N/A beer and then taunted Tony with a delicious Celebration Ale. The Discord jug is very f...

What if I told you…..one man…..was trying his hardest…..to write the GREATEST SHOW NOTES OF ALL TIME?! I would ask you where can I find that man and how much can I pay him to get out of this. Alas, it’s just me writing the show notes again. On this week’s show, we talk about some stuff or whatever….just kidding we barely even did that. We talked some basketball, Tony is breaking free from lockdown (for a Doctor’s appointment?) and Griff is back drinking some serious whalez. Some big news in the ...

Hey gang! Wow we made a mess of this one. Actually it’s not our fault, I blame the guys over at Cox Communications for throttling my internet. What dickheads! Honestly we had a good run of it for a while with some good riffing at the beginning, then we meandered into some good beer talk even. Tony gets excited for the release of Truly Australia edition and Griff dreams of a delicious Aperol Spritz. Griff loses his mind about the cost of beer news these days, and finally, a very spoopy Treehouse ...

It is difficult to write a synopsis, especially when there is pleasure in letting a nontraditional story unfold. The listener should go into this with no expectation. Every re-watch will guarantee new clues. This is an anti-commercial podcast so most listeners will hate it. It was made as an experiment. While Griff was patching together notes, he realized that there can be a great tragic story within this environment, and so he decided to stylize this podcast and to move the slapstick elements i...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh another week of podcasts! I have to ….what is it you guys do? Mow the lawn, sleep in my bed, fold some laundry, make my dinner, play an RPG, download some uh apps? Well you can listen to this while you do it. Today, the guys had some killer riffs (weedillyweedillyweeeeeeeewwwwwww) - get it like a guitar? Our fans tithed by providing us some vegemite pizza content, and we tapped the Discord mailkeg with some very serious and important questions. Also, the guys break down some new ...

Oh no! It’s just Griff and Tony this week! Oh god what the hell I’m so depressed… So anyway what is up gang?? Nothing? OK I figured. This week, the guys cover a myriad of topics (you’re welcome!) including [reading notes] Goose Island Bad??? Topo Chico Margarita! Fresh hop pilsner! And so on. The guys also play a very exciting game of “This or That” where Tony is forced to decipher real hops from the hops that are generated by Griff’s magic BRAIN. Good luck you son of a gun!!! ★ Support this pod...

BANG! There’s the download booster. Should have gotten Guyscaped or Manstuff to sponsor this shit. On today’s show….not very much beer discussion (standard). The father of Vegas podcasting, Brian Mollica, returns and gives his thoughts on a variety of topics, including bourbon for children, NFL parlays and what you’re allowed to steal when you’re a teenager. Brian and Griff break down the intricacies of playing “Free Bet Blackjack” and I think at some point Tony made up a lot of the history of A...

HELLO! I was just watching that Halloween episode of The Simpsons that is themed after “The Shining” and Homer opens up the door and says “HELLO!” so just say it like that in your head. On today’s show, we introduce the impromptu segment “Hyper Australia Dork Shit News.” Some serious activity on the Discord channel (which you can join very easily) means it gets it’s own drop, and the mailkeg asks us about what beers made us sad :(. Also, Griff mixes up Pastrybot with Lagerbot and maybe learns so...

Oh man! More show notes??? I guess whatever. On today's "welcome back" episode, Griff fawns over the deadly insects of Arizona….and some of their beer too. The guys mine the Discord for some free content and talk some gambling wins for Griff and some AFL screw ups for Tony *foghorn*. Tony hops back on the Deeds bandwagon, Griff is drinking English Mild, and the Lager of the Week heads to Italy for some soup, salad AND breadsticks?? Some big seltzer news drops mid-show, the plaid seltzers return,...

HelloooooooOOOoooOOOOOOOooo! Another day, another dollar down the toilet. I think it may cost us at least one dollar every time we do this show in penalties from the US government. Thanks guys! On today’s very looooooooong special episode, Griff breaks down his failure to buy Flamin’ Hot Mountain Dew, Tony mourns the downfall of Runza University Football and Joe Rogan has taken ill and applied a treatment plan matching that of William Henry Harrison after his inauguration speech that was almost ...

[Quick warning even though I know you guys don’t read the show notes, but the first about 20 minutes of this show is Griff reading some extremely gross Facebook posts. If you don’t want to hear it because poop stuff isn’t funny to you, well, skip ahead about 20 minutes]. Helloooooooo (echo echo echo). Anyone out there? Oh yeah you’re all out there. Cool! The fellas dig deep this week into the content oil fields and find some amazing material about Hard MTN DEW, Melbourne’s most hated Dick (and P...

Thanks google docs, I’m sure Griff wrote something interesting, but instead this is what you get. They gather in a place, they fill a space, they are words, they are no such words. Eternity of days grind lead us to a hindrance of once belonging as our forefathers look on at the imagination of machinists. Forgive those who hark of yesteryear, as the hungry only feed at night, in Laura’s house making statements of bluster. Lorem ipsum this should be, nonsense we draw for ears. - show notes in the ...

OMGZORZ remember when people said stuff like that? Kind of? Not really? OK whatever. Well we’ve got more stuff this week and it’s full of important beer news and also some important happenings in the world of international basketball. The guys answer some emails and talk about the important happenings on Discord as per usual (get on there gang!). Griff gets smoky for his birthday, Tony goes full adjunct lager, and we extoll the virtues of the underappreciated citra hop. Have you heard of this ci...

Hello...I am doing the coffin dance right now but in a very sad or happy way??? Are they sad or happy? Not sure. On today’s show, Griff and Tony spoil the result of USA vs. Australia. Not in basketball, just overall actually. Tony’s “beer” of the week elicits some discussion of illegal behavior from Griff, and then some illegal behavior from Tony. The statute of limitations has expired I think so that’s okay. Then the guys do some beer news that no one who even thinks about beer could get away f...

Ooooh have we got a barnburner for you today! Wooooo weeee! Well, now what happened today hmm? Alright, I can’t pull that off much longer so we’re just gonna quit it. On today’s Beer Engine Pod, Tony gives us the weekly health update (aka proof of life) that we are actually all here for. Griff is dodging the COVID hot zone but he’s not sure how or why yet. Then the guys breakdown the beer to horniness to hotness diagrams that have been popping up on the internet this week. You won’t want to miss...

First! That's what people say when they are the first to comment on Donald Trump's posts I think but, not me. I'm essentially commenting on every episode we've ever done but just here in the giant inline thread of all 65 episodes or whatever. I win! On today's show, an in depth recap of many things - the NBA Finals? The Las Vegas bottle shop hierarchy? Blackjack at the Sunset Station? Boston Beer's sales splits? Sure, some of that. But I think we were funny at one point, too. Also we played anot...

Beer Engine: New Vegas! That also could have been the title. Or something else that has anything to do with maybe coming back after a couple weeks off? Whatever. Well our Summer Vacay is over :( back to the podcast mines to grind out some more content. Put your hardhat on Tony! Today instead of Gypsum we managed to pull up some fun “sporps” talk about basketball, maybe some of the footy. You know, normal stuff! Griff’s Horus stash full of SWAG and a very emotional “Lager of the Week” are both di...

Omg gotta write the show notes from my bed. Hello! It's another show from these two guys! On today's episode, a lot of basketball stuff as Tony mourns the beginning of the end for the Sydney Sixers. Griff brings his Globetrotters conspiracy theory to the pod (and 8chan??). And the guys are back on their bullshit with lagers and stouts for days. Then, a new "Two Brews and a Lie" with a lot of words and a lot of stuff comes along. Will it beat up Tony like John Collins and Clint Capella beat up Be...

Damn we just did this show and I already forgot what it was about!? No! Well in the first 20 minutes we were all over the damn place and I think Tony went on about Aussie gas stations. Then we did some NBA and betting chit chat. Cool! Also a big Hyper Beer Nerd Dork Shit News (™) segment about the end of beer. It's all over folks, pack it in. At the end, Tony gets caged up in the circus and has to play an all time difficult game to free himself. Good luck dude!!! ★ Support this podcast ★...

Ohhhhhhhhhh I'm tired. I moved out of my house yesterday and, wow, even when you pay soekihe to do it, it's tiring. Also the guys who came by may have been a syndicate outfit. We'll see. On today's show, we talked about Australian gin and tonic for too long before Kelly hops in to give is the expert's opinion on some new seltz flaves. Then, we throw a tricky game and Tony and Kelly where they have to pick what year something happened in? Geez good luck! Hope you don't totally have an insane melt...

Oh man, the fellas have survived for another week, which means you, the lucky listener, receive one (1) additional week of wonderful, useful beer content. On today’s show, Griff tediously runs down the most painful of details of his drive across the nation - you know things like what car he drove and the route he was driving and the cost of various tolls. Super! Also, the guys talk about some of the latest cool and nice things on the Beer Engine Pod Discord server! Finally, a return for “Two Bre...
