While it is Kentucky Derby weekend, if you're looking for something to do not involving mint juleps and funny hats, tune in to learn about Soba Ales. Or, at least, listen to three morons talk about Soba Ale. It probably goes without saying, but apologies to the following: Japan, Soba, Books and Brews, and Rogue. Truly and deeply sorry. We kick things of with an offering from Books and Brews; their Shogun Soba Ale - Amber Ale with Buckwheat. Special thanks to listener Tim for the beer donation. W...

Looking for entertainment after Death and Taxes at Taxman Brewing? Why not settle in and have a listen to thespeakpodcast? This episode we bring you ESB's from 18th Street and Red Hook. We start things off with Steel Hands and expertly transition to Red Hook's ESB. From there we give a shout-out to Bonge's Tavern in fabulous Perkinsville, Indiana. Then, back by overwhelmingly popular demand, we bring back our most famous segment, Sports Questions for Adam. You shan't be disappointed....

Happy freakin' Saturday! Let us help you start your weekend off right by tuning in to learn about milk stouts!We present to you beer from Books and Brews and Left Hand Brewing. Charlie and the Chocolate Milk Stout... ours was broken. It was more like Charlie and the Sour Milk Stout. If you see Books and Brews bombers on the shelves know that they have perhaps been kept on the shelf by the vendor for too long. We'd recommend going to the brewery directly to acquire their fine fermented beverages ...

Today's style is the much sought after Double IPA, from Daredevil Brewing we feature their Ripcord Double IPA, dropping in at a hefty 9%. Toppling Goliath Brewing Company, King Sue Double IPA. Thanks to listener, Jon-Michael for the sweet beer. Adam also offends every Star Wars fan ever, and officially should have his fandom revoked. Rob and Pete were disgusted, and there was much conversation regarding whether or not to post his shenanigans, but that's the only way he'll learn. Make sure you vo...

This show's featured style is wheat! And we review an old favorite from Triton, the Fieldhouse Wheat . We compare it to Stillwater Artisanal's The Devil is Other People sour smoked wheat ale. I'm not sure any two wheats could be any further apart on the wheaty spectrum that is wheat beer. Adam provides one of his most disgusting beer sounds ever, and Pete may have located the sounds of a Rhino in heat. So, if you're on safari, make sure you turn the volume down....

This episode may contain more shenanigans than most, however if you're in to Game of Thrones, this may be the episode for you. If not, if you're interested in heaping amounts of dumb, this still may be the episode for you... In summary, due to technical difficulty, Pete and Adam had to share a mic. It's pretty much gross for all involve. Books & Brews Sours of Ice and Fire series: Geoffrey Bourbon Barrel Aged Sour Belgian Style Strong Ale. Next from Breckenridge Brewing Company, we have thei...

Since we're all trapped by this Gee Dee Icepocalypse in Indiana, we thought we'd release another episode to help ease the pain of being stuck inside with family members all day until football comes on later tonight. No need to thank us, we're just doing what we can to make the world a better place. The beer style this bi-week is "Russian" Imperial Stouts. There is a startling amount of discussion regarding the history of the style. I know that's odd for us and you, but we thought we'd try someth...

Put the kids to bed early, or plug in the headphones if you're in the office. We decided to let our hair down and talk about some more adult topics and perhaps a swear word or two worked its way in to this episode. This year we celebrate with Mathew Muncy and our friends at Broken Beaker Distillery. We talk holiday cocktails, and have some discussion about "popular" New Years Eve Traditions. Sit back, relax, and we'll see if this is the year Adam's balls finally drop....

Gather the family round the Yule log and let the soothing sounds of this years Christmas Special bring the whole family together. Unless, of course, you actually care about your family. Our special Christmas beers come from Taxman and Anchor brewing. While both are solid beers, what beer did you leave for Santa this year?...

In this, our latest installment, Adam teaches us all about meat. Or all he knows about meat. Or how Adam thinks your order meat. Adam used English words, but his understanding of the words he uses is nearly non-existent. We have a pretty positive review of Central State's House beer, and our out-of-towner this week genuinely impressed the group; Six Point Brewery's C.R.E.A.M. Coffee Blonde. Canadians are running out of beer! Tune in and see how you can help, buddy. And... Adam craps his pants on...

It's Thanksgiving! And for those of you looking to enjoy spending quality time with family huddled around a computer or smart device listening to your favorite podcast, we're here for you. Or, sink the podcast up with the Macy's Day Parade and see what that sounds like (spoiler alert: they don't sync up). As is it Thanksgiving, we blew the budget and brought in special celebrity guest, Matt Muncy from Indiana on Tap. Instead of the traditional maize, he brought us booze from Cardinal Spirits Bla...

Hey! It's Friday! If you're looking to kill an hour before the weekend, come give us a listen. On this episode we feature first, Danny Boy Beer Works Mac Daddy Scottish Strong Ale. Two Brothers Brewing A Bretter Day Biere De Mars Ale, brewed with house yeast, and other bigger more impressive words. We also have in-depth and surprisingly genuine news discussion. We also extend a personal invite to Stone Brewing to appear on the show....

While it may be too early to have a beer, it's never too early to listen to some guys talk about beer! We have two fine beverages this time around, the first is from, Black Acre Brewing, their Natural Liberty American Pale Lager. We discuss this beer, and being working on our Disney sequel, Rescuers 3! Learn how an albatross and his mice companions single-handedly defeated the Ruski's in The Cold War. Next up we feature a beer that is just a little bit out of season, but a great suggestion as to...

Here's to the weekend! Let us help you celebrate with two beers followed by an embarrassing amount of "stream-of-consciousnesses" style rambling entirely unrelated to beer. Plus, Adam teaches us all about the animal kingdom. Ever wondered how long an iguana can hold its breath? Tune in to find out! We start things off with Marion the Agrarian from Upland Brewing. It's a farmhouse ale with some character. We then move on to Greenbush Brewing out of Detroit, Michigan and sample their Starchicken S...

It's here! Finally! thespeakpodcast is proud to take you on a magical bicycle ride to Four Day Ray. The is exclusive access that you can't get anywhere else!

Be sure to listen, subscribe, and share with friends. Also, if you haven't seen...

Yeah, it happened again. Adam discussed polar bears, and drive-by's. Rob and Adam are serenaded with some old school, Esham (shout out to Jake Omen ) and you also must tune in to hear if your sour cream contains the dreaded Zika virus, and the surprising cure. In beer related podcasting, we discuss Two Deep Brewing's Brickhouse Roasted Amber Ale. Is it really as "Might-ay Might-ay" as advertised? As you'd come to expect, we then transition smoothly in to a beer from Harpoon Brewery out of Boston...

Perhaps the greatest wine and canvas location in Hendricks County, The Sparkling Canvas invited us to their opening night... in June. And how did we repay them? But not airing an episode about them until now. Apologies to the Sparkling Canvas. But, to make it up to you, we're giving you your own show and our wholehearted endorsement that your establishment is indeed the bestest and greatest wine and canvas spot in all of Hendricks County. Please visit The Sparkling Canvas and sign up for a class...

Greetings listeners! We may have hit a new low with this episode. We start things off with Demonik from Carson's Brewing out of Evansville, Indiana. The group believes there was something wrong with the six pack we obtained from our booze shop. However, much like with our Flat 12 beer, we consumed and rated this beverage. Rest assured though, Carson's Brewing will get another sampling and review and they still do stand out as one of the group's favorite Indiana breweries. That being said, the re...

We bribed yet another guest to meet with us out in public. We have Hutch from The Pint Cycle who donated precious minutes of his life that he's desperately wishes he could get back. We talk Indiana beer and wine, Adam's mom's, and Adam again discusses the ocean. In the vein of repetition, we do once again mention Scarlet Lane . Pete admits their beer he has had recently seems to have greatly improved (to his mind) and he ups his prior rating to a double solid! There is also a mention of Three Fl...

Looking to ruin what would otherwise be a pretty stellar Saturday? Look no further! Adam educates us about all things Viking, pirate, and Coast Guard. We also then discuss fire hoses, ultra-mega beer conglomerates, and Clint Eastwood films. But, we start it all off with a discussion of Scarlet Lane's Eirik Bloodaxe. Important note, there apparently was an Eric Bloodaxe in real life (#themoreyouknow). *Spoiler Alert* Buy The Beer! We discuss history, rye, and 1776 an American Brown Ale made by Ja...

Happy Super-Awesome America Fourth of July Day We begin by thanking our (now official) sponsor, Deviate Brewing. And an extra special thanks to Zane Lamprey of Three Sheets, Chug, Drinking Made Easy, and Monkey Rum for the endorsement at the beginning. Feels good to literally not be the worst show in Indy. We stick to our normal Indiana beer and review, Bier Brewing Chinookalicious American Style IPA. Things then start to go off the rails a bit as we delve in to: Old Forge Tennessee Moonshine......
Jul 04, 2016
This episode features a brew from Figure 8 Brewing in Valparaiso, IN. We bring you, Ro Shampo, and interesting Imperial Red Ale. Southampton Publick House Abbot 12 Abbey Style Dark Ale gave us cork problems, and a high alcohol content. Listen for our rating, and Adam's super sweet bottle description. Also discussed: Mortal Kombat beer, Baskin Robbins, and Paste Magazine. #BrokenBeaker #Taxman #MogulVodka #BigWoodsSpeedway #Daredevil #Pastemagazine...

In this, our first ever Local Indy Feature Friday (Feat. Booze), we bring you the rise of Broken Beaker as told by owners Thomas (the Chemist) and Heather (the Engineer). Learn all about their initial struggles with money, location, and the distillation education process. Then how paying their taxes and a hangover free promise (as long as you stay hydrated) has lead to great success for these first-time business owners and distillers. Be sure to connect with Broken Beaker Distillery at: http://b...

Hope you're all enjoying your Memorial Day. In case you are, but feel the need to ruin it, we bring you a new installment of our show. This is a "hoppy" episode featuring two IPA's. We have here the 450 North Scarecrow IPA and the Balast Point Sculpin IPA. (We apologize for some sound inconsistency on this episode. Seems like it's time to upgrade some equipment here in the studio) This episode brings discussion of sports, nonsense, and 50ish minutes in general of the quintessential gloriousness ...

Yes, we enjoyed the Contessa so much, we did 18th street yet again. We bring you their Foreman Coffee Porter (Shout out to Joey Potts for the can art). We then transition nicely in to Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Stout. Beware, there is a Dark Knight spoiler in this episode. And Adam professes his love of Jake Gyllenhaal, while not actually knowing 5 films that he is in and confusing him with Ryan Gosling.
May 07, 2016
First and foremost, I hearty thank you to 18th St Brewery out of Gary, IN for their Contessa. It is a Saison/Farmhouse Ale, that was pretty well received. However, thank you for your Serpent bottle art which provided many a snake pun that nearly drove Rob to leave the show. Thanks to Andrew from Kansas City, for providing Prairie Artisan Ale's Prairie Standard. A Hoppy farmhouse ale/saison. It does contain about the coolest sounding New Zeland Hops....

That's right, a bonus beer for your ear-joyment. For the first two Indiana beers, we take you to church... as it is Sunday. It's a super sweet collaboration from Scarlet Lane Brewing and Taxman, Heaven and Hell. Heaven is golden strong ale that will lift your spirits!

"Episode 35" Surprise! A special vodka-filled episode of thespeakpodcast. We bring you, Indiana's own, Mogul vodka. Mogul can now be found at select Crown Liquor locations as well as select Big Red's liquor locations. We produced a vodka gimlet as well as a screwdriver. As we have decided to flex our political muscle, it has been renamed the "Screw Trump." Daredevil Brewing has also brought us the Vacation Kolsch. #aquateenhungerforce #superbirthdaysnake #Trump2016 #HomewardBound #VinDiesel #Bey...

"Episode 34" Looking for something to do on Valentine's Day? Listen to our show with your significant other... They will surely then appreciate that it could obviously be worse. As an additional reward, we are featuring two beverages from Indiana. You're welcome. First up, we have Tin Man Brewing's Damascene Apricot Sour Ale. And then Pete play's with the show's new toy. Turns out, the show should keep him away from buttons. Redemption Alewerks, Atonment APA is next up. It offered a smokey surpr...
