And this is brought to you by friends over at the Backyard Grill where Chad Pilbean has been hanging out. Oh man, that was a great turnout there for the award winning not yet world famous beer with Mark and Chad, which turned into I mean

Mark couldn't make it, but that doesn't matter the spirit. Wait, so you came in town, I did, and you just tag team like all right? Mark tagged you like I'm out. Well, Mark, listen, he's a busy man.

We sampled a lot of great beers and it's a good time. And in honor of that, I want to go ahead and crack open another great beard to share with James here and also stunt Liver. Brian Holsen KPRC. I'm gonna go first. Yeah, you bring

a beer, I bring a beer. I'm gonna go first, all right, And I want to go ahead and say this. I was a little upset with James earlier to prove that mary couples fight. Okay, we worked together, sometimes we disagree, and so I, uh, in town. I want to tell him why? Yeah, in town? I said, James, you got enough beer there? Or do I need to stop and grab something before coming to the show. And He's like, do you want

to sit on the floor? Now? We have a rule here. If you don't bring beer to the show, you have to sit on the floor. This is a real rule, and James was gonna enforce it. I'm like, screw you, man, I can't believe this. You know what, I'm gonna be petty about this. I'm gonna stop at a gas station pick up like the oldest, dirtiest light beer, some malt liquor. And then I realized dawned on me. You know what, that's just petty.

I'm not gonna do anything that petty. I'm gonna bring something else. Proof Chad's a better man than I am, because I definitely would have done that. That's right. Yeah, so I didn't want to do anything that petty. But then again, maybe the says petty from brew Dog. I've got the Bushwood Caddyshack Lagger. Brew Dog James Simpson's favorite brewery. Yes, is my favorite. Actually on the radio, I talk about how much I hate him. But if you go to look at my closet, I got brew

Dog shirt, you'd have nothing brew Dog in this house. Actually I do. I have it in my cabinet down there. I got a brew Dog beer. It's under those glasses, Brian. I got a brew Dog ipa from fifteen years ago that my buddy Ash gave me. Oh so you haven't fifteen years ago, Yeah, I mean, but look, there's a brew Dog beer right there. It's an ipa that my buddy Ash won in a

poker game. He won the rights to You only have that beer for the simple reason that Ash gave it to you, Otherwise it would be in the dumpster, right Ash rest in peace, the owner of Duff Distribution. He won the rights to distribute brew Dog in a poker game. WHOA all right? All right? So you know what I mean? You Knowice, I got you that Samuel Adams, Boston. Oh, and it brings out the

aroma. I'm not sure I'm happy about that. But here it is a quote unquote light and fresh beer that's crushable on the course, lightly colored straw logger James makes the same odd face. The Hop edition gives this bush With beer a light and grassy lemon characteristic. You know, it's weirds bear everything it smells. The aroma is awful, but the taste isn't so bad. It smells awful. It smells awful, but taste isn't so bad. It's

This is What's on Tap Radio. Back to James and Chad. Hey, you know, it doesn't matter what kind of beer you drink. Do you like it ice cold, do you like it served in cellar temperature?

She mused to live. She missed the same she does. You know a song has been ruined for you When you hear a song and it just reminds you of a commercial, I think it's like an AT and T commercial or something. No, I'm reminded when I hear this, I think of Bushwood Country Club, Caddy Shack, and Rodney Dangerfield out there and being yelled at by the judge. Turn that racket off. I want to get more Christmas music. But when the Christmas music played, everybody in the studio gave me

this thousand yards stare like, dude, no, relax. Now you haven't even gotten into the you know, talking about what we're eating for Thanksgiving, and here we are trying to get Christmas beer. This, this song is appropriate for the two beers that we just opened, because anyway you want it, all right, So we've got this Bushwood Caddyshack bear from brew Dog, which I brought out of spite just to piss off James because he really does not like brew Dog beer. I don't. It's not that I don't like

brew Dog beer. I just don't like the brew Dog owner. Right well, he doesn't like you either, so it works out a feelings mutual, I guess right. But beer it's I mean, those is terrible. No, this is no this it smells skunky. If we did videos of drain pores, we would absolutely show you this going down the drain. This is not going to be consumed. We are not drinking this beer. I finish

it. I mean it's in my class. Noop, noop, I got one liver, dude, I am not wasting it on this, all right, fair, this is gone by right Flipping over though to the beer you brought. So this is We talked about this on last week's show, and then I got flooded with pictures from our listeners on social media of beers that are on the shew, the Christmas beers. They've landed and so long and

behold. I go out to my local beer retailer and I was going, you know, I'm gonna pick up some beer from the show, and boom, there we are in caps of the Christmas beers, including an en cap of the Shiner Holiday Cheer and it's albrew with peaches and a cons And this gotten a little bit of a discussion last week. Brian that Chad was like, do peaches belong Christmas beer? No, there's nothing peach about Christmas traditional

Christmas carol. You don't hear you see the Dickens Christmas Carol where everybody's gathering around with peaches. I'm sorry, it just no, it doesn't. No, No, Now, what do you think? What do you say about this beer? I actually like it? Do you think it's very delicious? And it's it has a little peach fruitiness to it. And I'm not gonna lie. It tastes like a winter warmer. It tastes like a holiday beer. Holed it they call it Holiday Cheer. Yeah, I think it captures

the flavor of the season. And even though we're not in that season, what the heck I mean we are? I mean the Big Box Doors is already selling the decorations. It won't be long before, you know, people take down their Halloween decorations to start putting up the Christmas decorations. It, I mean, it starts pretty much November tenth. Yeah, and then it

won't be long before the adult contemporary radio stations flip over to Christmas. Meerch that's happening earlier and earlier and yeah year, but uh, let me let me tell you a little bit. Let me tell you what I sip here. I like it. Yeah, the multi flavors are enriched through the use of multi barley m hm. Oh, and we the cruising cruising, cruising cruising. You're doing great well. It ensures the smoothness that you know,

it's a subtle peach of pecan flavors on there. It's more satisfying than some of the other Christmas ales out there or crazy either way. Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, but again, this is the shiner holidays year, a dunkele vison. But yeah, we're kicking our holiday beers off. This is it. We're doing it right now. We know much more about beer than you A big word skin talk. Yeah. Anyways, I had beer in my mouth you know. That's what it was. That's what it

was, just to really come to with some thoughts on this beer. I like it. I like it. I are a good reader. I like it. But again, the Shiner Holiday this is, yeah, this is It's not too sweet and body is light. So I feel like I could drink a couple of these and you're not going to be sick of the sweetness and it's not too heavy. But what do you think about the peaches? I I said, peaches don't belong in Christmas beer, so I'm gonna say

they're breaking the rule and for some reason it works. I would not kick this beer out of bed, is what I'm saying. I like it, Brian, I'm not a big fan. Oh you're not, Okay, you are? What really? You know? What don't you like about it? I don't like the peaches, that's for sure. Oh I feel like I get peaches amba cons. Yes, yes, there's a happy medium there. Now the official What's on Tap Radio Fun Fact of the Week, brought to you by Who's ever checked Clear? This week. Let's be honest, we

all know why you're listening right now. That's for these fun facts. I know, and I'm going to cross into a controversial subject here. Yeah, do peaches belong in Christmas beers? Now we're gonna talk about history because all the fun facts of the week, guarantee, there's not one fun fact we've ever done about the future. All been things that have happened in the past.

Yeah, yeah, I mean you can't. I mean we've talked about ai you know, being future brewmasters, right, but that's something that happened so fun fact, I can't tell you in twenty twenty six and January fifteenth, twenty twenty six, brewmaster Roberts. You know, I can't see you got into Deloreate right and went to the future. No, these are all historical ones, and this is a sensitive subject, but I think it's one

worth revisiting. And we we uh not too terribly long ago. We had the grandson of the first black owned brewery in the United States on our show. Oh that's right, yep, there was the People's Bury People's Brewery. Yeah. Yeah, we talked a little bit about that great story. The brewery out of San Francisco, yes, yeah, or it was being brewed no they I think it was out of Minnesota. But then San Francisco brewery

was remaking the beer. Yeah yeah. And so one of the things that that gets lost throughout history and people tend to forget this is that history is written by those who basically win the wars. I mean, if you, if you win, if you, if you have power, you get to write history. And what people tend to forget in the grand scheme of everything

and looking over where beer was made and who was making beers. We dig through ancient civilizations and we have learned that slaves in Egypt and throughout history were fed a diet, a regular diet of beer because it was rich in nutrients, it was healthy. It's actually pretty cheap to make. It wasn't really high ABV beer. It was pretty low alcohol content. I bet you tastes like crap. Oh yeah, you know it did they got yeah, they got the they got the brew dog bushwood of the beer is going on.

No, no, no, no no, you got the slop and the slurry. But they were fed a regular diet of beer. And so sometimes workers would be paid in beer, but also slaves were fed a regular diet of beer. Now fast forward all the way to stories like what we talked about with the People's brewery, and you got to ask yourself, how is it that we just discovered the people's brewery in such a just a small window more recent times, It's like, why haven't we been talking about this for

years? Why is this like hidden history? Well, it's because what I said, for whatever reason, we didn't capture this and write this down in history. Well, it turns out that all throughout Europe it was discovered that African tribes and African nations and colonies were very versed in the art of fermentation, particularly in warm climates, and when they were captured as slaves and sold throughout Europe, they were exploited for their talents and there is very little record

of their brewing. But turns out that African slaves who were taken to Europe were a major contributor to the success of the brewing industry during that time. But your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the Week brings us to the other side of the pond, to the colonial Americas in the USA, none other than Thomas Jefferson, who was an avid brewer. Does he know, Oh no, well he's dead. Yeah, he hasn't listened. He

didn't listen to the show. Whenever he was around, though, well, he had the Monticello Plantation, and Thomas Jefferson was known for his brewing skills. However, Thomas Jefferson not much of a brewer, and that is because his beer was brewed by none other than yes American craft beer pioneer, an

African slave, Peter Hemmings. That's right, the legendary Thomas Jefferson, the pioneer, one of the pioneer colonial patriots of this fine nation, got credit for beer being brewed at the Monticello Plantation, but it was brewed by none other than Peter Hemmings, one of his slaves. So to one, Peter Hemmings. By the way, Avery Brewer Company made a beer in honor of

Peter Hemmings. Thank you very much for doing that. We raise a toast to the brewers who were not recognized, who were taken illegally and captive and slaves and exploited for their talents. So to you, Peter Hemmings, the official brewer of Thomas Jefferson, And that's your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the week. That was a good fun fact. Yeah, OK. Park Brewing brewed the people's beer and I think I have one of those

beers in my fridge. All right, you gotta take a break still to come on this episode, we're going to talk about a quick trip giving out free beer, and there's a beer bracelet out there. It's not a good thing. All right, we'll talk about that. All this is so much more. We'll be right back. Believe in something they say, we believe. We'll have another beer. This is What's on Tap Radio. Back to James and Chad. All right, welcome back to What's on Tap Radio.

A lot to get to on this episode. We've got a lot of exciting stories as always. But Chad was like, hey, I want to kind of do something. I'm gonna get off the freeway real quick. I want to take a side road. Uh, totally off script, which is fine. We like when it's you know, off script every now and in. But I'm not exactly sure where we're going. But Chad was like, hey, I'll take the wheel yep. So all right, all right, all right, so I'm gonna sit back and you know, enjoy my holiday cheer.

Not exactly sure where we're about to go. I want you to enjoy that holiday cheer. No I am I am, but you know, we we did have to pour out. The dog is down the drain. We did do a drain. Poor. I feel bad for the municipality here in Harris County. They've got to they've got to find something to do. That's all going down the drain. Is it that bad? Yes? It really was not not not good, not not No. Although the I want to keep the can for my collection because I love good marketing, and I mean

the cans look's pretty cool. Yeah, it's got the little gopher on it. But is it labeled as a Berlin of ice, because that's what it kind of tastes like. No, it's just it's actually labeled as a Pilsner. Says it right there, dude, see Chris Pilsner. Yeah, Pilsner, that's it. But it tastes like a Berlin avice. It tastes like part notes. Yeah, it tastes like, honestly that that gopher got into it, and it tastes like a bad decision. Yeah, but really, yeah, I know, as James would like to say, he said,

more than once, I'd finish that beer. But I'm a big fan of tomorrow. I do like tomorrow. Yeah. Anyway, so James said during the break here we were talking about the People's Beer, right, and this is a legendary in honor of the legendary mister Theodore Max Senior, the first African American brewery owner, and he opened a brewery in nineteen seventy purchased the People's Brewery to offer jobs to inner city and minority employees. A great story.

Go listen to our podcast brought to We had the Sun on. We had a sun was it? Yes? It was his son, I guess, Theodore Junior. Yeah, right, And I said James, Well, James says, I think I've got one of those beers still, And well, it was canned in August of the year that we won't mention. It's between twenty one, and he's during the plandemic, right exactly between twenty twenty

one and twenty nineteen that year. And I'm gonna go ahead and say we're gonna crack this open, and we're gonna see if it tastes better than the Bushwood beer. It does. This is a light logger and it's designed to you know, just compete with you know, it's it's really kind of a I don't know if you don't call it pre prohibition or whatever. But it's just a light, easy drinking American style pilsner. And yeah, oh boy, well that that yep, that horse is that horse has done turned you.

Wow, some wet cardboard in there. No, it's more like sweet corn. Oh god. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'm very fruit I mean, honestly, I'm not mad at it compared to what we Yeah, that's not good. The oh my gosh. Okay, it was better obviously when it was fresh, but it's now over. It's over three years old. Yeah, I mean that's just not You don't age all beers. So all right, this was an experiment and we wanted to try it. It failed. Meanwhile, stunt liver Brian Holsen in studio with us,

did not like the Shiner holiday cheer. So I thought, in the spirit of Christmas, you know, as we know, the true spirit of Christmas, isn't that the thought counts. It's that you better get me a gift I want and if not, I'm taking it back to the star. So that's the real spirit of Christmas. If you don't believe me, just follow me on social media at Chad the Beer Logic Guy. But James has two

beers in his fridge that are Christmas beers from last year's Christmas pack. I want to open those up and see if we can get Brian a better gift. So can you reach into your beer fridge over there? So we were talking about this on the last episode where the Christmas beers are coming out at the big you know, the warehouse stores and like the Advent calendar and these James, we've got two of them here. I want to see if we

can step up our game and offer. Okay, I have two. I have the Cookies and Cream Porter, and then I also have the cranberry wheat. Oh, cranberry wheat. Come on, man, So Brian, I'm gonna let you decide which one you want to open. I have the cranberry wheat or the Cookies and Cream Porter. What do you want to go with? He's like really, like, I know, I know. It's like it's like we asked him, you know, like we should be like price is right? I know, cookie cook I know, I know. It's

like Brian, it's it's not that big of a decision. It's not like we asked you what your favorite trade about your wife is. I mean you know, come on, what's your favorite child? Which one do you want to go with? The cookies and greenport? All right, we're gonna right cark choice, all right, crack that thing open, Brian, you're gonna you're gonna do the honors and the whole point of this again the holiday cheer from shiner Brian didn't like. And you know, in the spirit of Christmas,

take that thing back. Let's get another one. Let's try another Christmas beer. And I'm gonna go ahead and pour a little bit here, James coming around to you, and we will find out this is a year old and they're like four years old. Okay, right, you know how long he's ad been calendar beer's been sitting on those shelves. The overwhelming majority of these beers last year weren't good. Then we're betting that age didn't do it. It smells sweet. It does. Wow. Yeah, it's like smells

like a liquefied I mean seriously, like liquid chocolate. It does spell like liquid chocolate. Yep, James gets your what are you picking up on that? Brian? What do you got? Brian? It is really really sweet. It's very very sweet. I mean, definitely taste a cookie. Oh my gosh, it does taste like a cookie. I have a cavity. Wow, that is sugary and sweet. Oh my goodness. I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad either, but Brian is one of the better

advent beers I've had? Is this better than the holiday cheer? I'm asking, Brian Stunt Liver, Brian Holsen. Yeah, much better? Oh you think so? Okay, Okay, see I this is too much for me. It says it's a porter with natural flavor of caramel, color, red dye number five or whatever. I mean, come on, dude, what other chemicals did they throw in this thing? But yeah, I mean this is the avant beers crafted for the holidays, cookies and cream porter. Yikes.

Yeah, this is seriously this mm hmmm. Who creates these beers? Well? This is actually a brewery from Minhouse Brewery out of Monroe, Wisconsin. Monroe, Wisconsin. You heard it? No, you said it? No? Hear it is? Yeah? Is that right? Yes? It's Monroe, Wisconsin. Say that, Yes, it's exactly Say it again, James, is it? How do you say it? Then? Area? It says Monroe? It's Monroe, dude, Well, it depends on where you're from? What em fastists are you going to put on? Which salable?

Okay, it's Monroe from Monroe. That's what I like. If he's changed to see with the ams Conroe. I mean, what do you think? I want to thank you for tuning in where we are broadcasting from Hugh Stone in Texas. Here, all right, what do you want to crack this one? Now? Might as well. I mean, let's get nuts. I mean we're in, we're knee deep in this segment here again, thanks for tuning in. What's on tap radio where right now? What we're

doing is we're trying to redeem the beers we brought to the table. The first beers that we brought to the table. We brought the brew dog Bushwood pilsner, hoppy pilsner, which has notes of lemon and you know what has notes of I'm just gonna say it, I mean, being hoard right down the drain. It was not a good beer. I can't drink this yet, Chad, because the poor has taken over the entire glass. So you

can, of course, you're gonna pour a cranberry. Well, what you do is is you chug your glass right there because you only had a little bit in that holiday cheer glass. Just finish it, all right, just do it? Yeah quick, yeah, there you go. See it was only like an ounce. Just and then use your cranberry week to rinse. Adjust your palate. That's enough. Just take us a little swig, adjust your palate and have another. So James likes to rinse his glasses in between

tastes, and that's the smart thing to do. But if you can't do that, use the next beer you're going to drink to put a little bit in. Swish it around your glass, take us take a swig and then top it off. Brian holds and making faces here. I'm gonna go ahead and do the same James. Oh god, that's awful. That's awful. Oh that's terrible. Not a fan. This is what's on tap Radio, the drain Poor episode where I mean, oh wow, that's terrible. Smells

like a smells like a jar of sweethearts. I feel like Brian's about to throw up. What do you think about that one? Brian? That's the worst one, the worst one. That's that's that's oh that is that's that somebody crushed up sweet tarts and threw it in carbonated water that is terrible. And this is an ale natural ale with natural cranberry flavor. I see, I'm not a big fan of Cranberry's. I've never been a big fan.

I like when they say natural cranberry flavor. When they say natural cranberry flavor, that doesn't necessarily mean it has Cranberry's in it. From Monroe, Monroe, Monroe, shut up, Tomato, Tomato. Anyways, I'm sure they make great beer. Oh yeah, I'm sure they do. I mean, this is the Beatdown edition right here, the beat Down segment. I really am finding it hard to believe that we have gone through this many beers and

we really have not. I'm gonna have to break for emergencies only. Oh yeah, I break the glass and get a get a winner out because we have to turn the show around. I think I might have to do that because I like, we're gonna lose Brian. Brian's like, I'm never going back. I know, why would I come in? Listen, stunt, Listen, there's a limit to the stunts I'll pull. It's a stunt, beer liver, but listen, you can't just throw me out of the plane

and then tell me, well, there might be a parachute. I packed it myself, but I get I was really tired when I did it, though, and I've never packed a shoot in my life. But you'll be fine. Bright, all right, thanks for sticking around while we decided to destroy our palettes and our liver with some really bad beer and a lot of it. Feels like we should hit all controlled delete and just start over. Just start all right, that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna hit all

controlled delete. We're gonna reset the beer. We're gonna open a new beer. We're gonna bring something I'm gonna reset. I'm gonna bring it back to the to life here, all right. We're gonna take a break, but still to come. The beer bracelet. It's not a good thing. And move over, Olympics. There's some new games in town. We'll talk about that. All this is so much more. We'll be right back. The only thing we throw back on Thursday, he's a pint of beer or two

or three. This is what's on tap radio. Back to James and Chad. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, around the jingle bell. Somewhere right now, somebody is decorating their house for Christmas. That is definitely happening right now. Somewhere someone was listening to this program and just changed the chance. I don't worry. You don't want to leave us. We got a lot of good stuff. No, no, no, if you're if you're hearing me say that, you didn't leave, but someone did and they're

gonna miss out on the rest of this great program. There's a lot of good stuff on tap this week. But you know, anytime now the adult contemporary radio stations are going to flip. And when they do, oh, I mean they used to be to be Thanksgiving Day, that used to be when the stations used to flip. But now they flip it even earlier. You know why they do this, right, you worked in radio for seventeen

years. I didn't. It's a ratings generator. People love holiday music, oh my god, and so they want to get their Q four books and they want to get those Q four books. And nobody knows what the Q four book is. They look at ratings and based on the quarters, oh the quarters, the fourth quarter Q four Okay, so they get the fourth

quarter ratings. And it's always during the holiday season because people are driving around going you know, shopping and they're listening to Christmas music, or they have the Christmas music playing why they're decorating their house or maybe wrapping presents, And so they flip it earlier and earlier each year because Generator Fund fun story little. I saw a friend of mine who loves Christmas Vacation just oh, that's

a great movie Love Chase. Yeah. Yeah, So it was pre Halloween and took a photograph, put it on a social media page and said first viewing of the year. And I thought already, And he says, but I didn't pick it, which makes me so happy. And I was like, he didn't pick it, and then it dawned on me. He's single and he lives at home. He blamed it on the dog. He has a dog, and he said that this is a dog who picked the move.

Here's how I'm thinking about what happened here. He probably he probably was watching something, maybe dozed off, and then dog picked up the remote. That's what I did. Yeah, And then he walked. He woke up, and then whatever he was watching before, maybe it was Office Space, and then whatever he was watching before was now over, and now the Christmas vacation was on. He was like, well, you know what, I don't know who the remote is. I'm pretty comfortable, I'm snuggled up.

I might as well just watch it. We're not watching Turner and Hooch again, so noth of that many ways. Anyway, speaking of not doing that again, we have tried over and over to find a beer that we could all agree on, and we have struck out almost to the end of the first hour of this program. It's time to hand the keys to someone who can hopefully bring this show back on the rails. Uh stunt Liver. Brian holds an in studio as here on the West Side. When TV people come

in, look we got this. Yeah, and you know Brian going around with Justice Sapleton in his new segment when he's going around named drop for Stapleton, Yeah, you do, all right. But Stapleton has this new gig where he what's the name of the gig, what's the name of the bit, Brian that he goes around and interviews these different breweries. He's doing great to right because you know what, here's the thing. I told him to stick his head down the cooler and he's trying to decide which cooler or which

beer to bring out. Don't worry, we'll we'll we'll make sure we get to We'll get the proper plug. But get the beer out. Let's go. And meanwhile, I saw this cool can. I thought one marketing selling beer. Yo, this is gold. Oh my gosh, hit it, dude. Oh there it is Ultra Mitchello Ultra Mitchello. I'm cracking it open. I am opening it because it's got to be better than what we've been drinking. The turner Mitchello Ultra. Oh my gosh, how light that is?

Yes, this is the hyper light Michael. Oh wait, hyper light that belongs that Mitchello Ultra. Yes, I can't believe we're drinking this. You. I said I was gonna be petty and I was gonna bring bad beer to the show. I don't even know if I've ever had Hey Mitchello Ultra before. I don't know if I have. Dude, this is funny because Brian, I think a pettiness, decided he was going to bring because we brought bad beer, He's gonna bring you know what Brian should have done.

This is for next time. Just say, hey, I'm gonna do a blind taste test. What do you think about this beer and chat and I like, you know what us good? I get some good, clean notes. You know, I'm a big fan. This is the best beer. Then we pull out and then you pull out the Mitchello. We have opened four beers on the show. This now the fifth beer.

For those that are listening around the country, we have a

mayor. His name's Mayor Sebuster Turner. And one day he was announcing some sponsors of this event, and one of the sponsors was mitchell O Ultra. So he was reading I mean, honestly, it was like saying it was like saying Monroe Monroe, Louise or was different or minute tomato to Hearria, Illinois. All right, anyways, I want to get to the story real quick. There we're talking about brew Dog. We're talking about Christmas beers,

I don't know if it's really a scavenger hunt. I don't know, you know, go out there and get yourselves a holiday twelve pack, which is probably on the shelves now. I gotta wonder in the marketing department, if they were sitting around it was like, okay, what are we gonna do?

And somebody says, well, my kid just watched Willy Wonka on the Chocolate Factory. I got this idea. And then somebody else said, you know, I think somebody already did that. I can't remember who. I can't, nor will anybody else. I think this has been done once or twice before. And it's like, all right, let's go with a new idea. All right, what's the new idea same as the old one. All right, let's try that. I don't I don't understand. I mean, I get it. You want to put a golden can in? All right?

Yeah, it's exciting because you know, there's a lot of Harpoon fans out there and they're going, you know what, maybe this is a twelve pack and I'm gonna be one of these epic winners think about is the chances of winning are pretty high. Here's my question, is this enough to get you? Would would you go buy it just for the chance to find the golden can? If you saw it in your grocer in the on the on

the on the cold shelf and it was just in there. It's like I wasn't buying harpoon before, but now that I got a shot at a golden cane, it would be funny. It's like somebody who buys it and goes Hey's golden can cool, and then you trying to throw the recycling. That would be That reminds me of the first guy the Great American Beer Festival who won the hate the gold for Hazy I p A. He's like, I

hate hey, Hazy I pas and he won the gold. All right, we gotta take a break, so come we're gonna bring better beer, and uh, we're gonna talk about a hold my beer and watch this.

It's all about Mother's Day. It's gonna say we have we haven't even done Mother's Day yet. No, but New

Hour number two got Chad hanging out, Brian hols In and Brian he clussed our palates with the MICHAELA. Ultra and then it's like, hey, guys, that's just kidding. And then he brought this Galveston Bay Brewing Captain's Coffee stout. I was just telling the guys during a break, I am really just stoked about

everything Galveston Bay is doing over there in Dickinson, Texas. That new brewery. I stumbled in there. And I don't mean that that. It's not like I was drunk. Story though, that's a great story. It was the craziest thing. I was in town recently, on the south east side of Houston and somebody I said, you know, I've heard about the new Galveston Bay Brewery. I haven't been there. How far is it? And somebody says, like ten minutes away. I said, let's go. Yeah.

So I walk in and I walk in the door and I see there's our buddy Rodney Campbell cast Branding sitting there, and I was like, what the heck's he doing here? And I started looking around the room and I'm seeing all kind of people, hug you was there, all kinds of people, Thomas And I'm looking around Thomas, Yeah, oh beer bo, Yeah, that Thomas too, and I'm I'm just looking around and I'm like, holy crap, I know all these people. What is this? Like?

Was this staged? Is my wife gonna pop out from behind the bar like surprise? I called, all your friends are here, and I'm like, what the heck? It was the Texas Craft Brewers Guild meeting going on at the brewery and I was just stopping in for a pint and they're like, oh, you got you came to the meeting and I was like, no, I wasn't came to get a beer. That's all I wanted to do. But man, it was good to see everybody. And that's one of

the things I miss whenever I moved to Michigan. I missed the food. I missed the people. I want to give a shout out just see all the craft brewers guild out there. I mean Texas has a great one, but other states Louisiana, Florida, Michigan, Gilt, Iowa has a great one as well. Yeah, they're doing great things for the state. So yeah, they get together. I think I forget what Monday it is the month, but they all get together and they're trying to improve the Crapier community.

So that's very cool that how you walked into that, that's like, yeah, Kenney Kennedy started wow wow wow, Yeah, so cool location. They've done a great job. Speaking of doing a great job, Brian Holsen brought the show back together with a good beer the coffee Stole. It's amazing, But I feel like it's time for me too. I'm gonna I'm gonna do your part. I'm gonna do a nice surprise. This is one of my favorite, my new favorite beers. Anytime I can find it, I'm

getting it from our friends in Austin, Texas. Oh is this hold on it is? Tell me say it, Sash. It's the secret stash. It's the secret stash, the secret stash, India PL double dry hopped India PL. From our friends over at Independence Bury Company. And I'm doing the you go ahead that well, I'm gonna pull a Spradley. This one's mine. Where's yours? Open it slow because I just kind of just dropped it.

So all right, okay, but yeah, this is a double dry hopped India PL and uh yeah, from Austin, Texas, Independence Bury Company. And give a shout out to Amy Cartwright. Yes. So if you are a fan of the show and you've listened for a while, you know, anytime there's stash involved, this is a great I p a. Just smell the get your honker in there, Oh, smell the aromas. Just straight dank. This is yeah. Now, this one's a little ball and

this one's a little bit different. This one, this is a secret stash. Yeah, this is a secret stash. Yeah, this is the double dry hopped one. This is stash but double dry hops. Yeah that's a punch right in your mouth. Wow. So wow, I had that one in there. I was like, you know what I have, Chad and Brian Studio, hait me that can. I'm gonna I know what you're getting

ready to do. I'm gonna check this can out here. Hold my beer and watch this brought to you by the Ring Malda ten Hacen Insurance Group where they'll cover you for just about everything except this. Okay, Brian, are we good on this water? We are very good. All right. That's the secret stash from Independence Brewing Company. All right, all right, hold my beer and watched this time. Let's talk about Father of the Year. Okay, because this guy ain't it? Okay, so I'm still in the

running. Yeah you sell is Brian's So this guy's chances at Father Year just like a big hit. So it's a thirty year old named Colby park Parker. Colby Parker, and he called the cops one Monday night because he thought his child had been kidnapped. He said that he had left them in the car while he ran into the grocery store. But when he came back, they were gone. Whoa, that's scary. That's really scary. Cops immediately

started searching. They even brought the canine units in, and they coordinated a search effort with the other police departments in the area. And they also started looking through the store security footage and that's when they realized something, something's a little off. Chad. Well, yeah, let's go to the tape. Let's look at the tape. So when they realized that the reason why Colby couldn't find them in the car was because he had forgotten the kid at home.

Oh ooh, yeah, I'm laughing, but that's not funny. No, it's not so. Cops went to the house after about an hour after he had reported the child being missing, and the kid was there just fine, watching TV. Mm hmmm uh. But Colby isn't fine though. Yeah. They breathalyzed him. Oh, this is when it comes out. Yeah, he had been drinking and he was hammered and he had actually driven to

the same grocery store twice that day. His kid was actually with him the first time, but not the second time, and that's what tripped him up. Ah, so they called a family member to pick the kid up. Colby was arrested for drunk driving, child endangerment, and a breach of peace. So, yeah, he's gonna have to pay back the search effort that took place. Oh yeah, looking for the time, Yeah, that's like, yeah, that's like pulling the fire alarm when there's no fire, calling

nine one one when you don't have an emergency. Yeah, I mean you fake something. Well I'm not saying he faked anything here, but there was a story that hit news earlier this year that this woman had seen this baby on the side of the road, and so she got out of the car to search for the baby. She calls ninety one one and all of a sudden, abruptly hangs up on the nine woman operator. And for three days they started to search party and all this it turns out she had faked the

whole thing. Of course, she got arrested. I think she's served a year, serving a year in jail. But she has to pay back all this money. Yeah, all the resources it takes to, you know, search for a missing child. And this is exactly what's gonna happen. So again, a drunk dad reported his child missing. Turns out he had just forgot them at home. Remember, folks drink responsibly. Yeah and yeah, that's that just like it's it's kind of funny, but it's really not.

The kids are okay, the kids are fine. Okay, that's all about now. They're with a family member. But it turns out this guy's in jail and kids are fine all right. But again, yeah, this has been brought to you by our good old friends rinaldoton Han Insurance Group, well little you know, and surting for lots of things, many things, car insurance, I'm sure, maybe some boat insurance yep, but not turn this guy, that's for sure. Or if your store in your cars for winter.

Yeah, they'll give you storage insurance. That's a great offer to you. All right, shout out to them. All right, we're gonna take a break. Still a com move over Olympics. There's a new competition in town. And also, uh beer bracelet, Why that's not a good thing. We'll be right back. If you encounter wine snobs, just take a full class of wine and put it to your ear. Mines will be blown.

This is what's on tap radio. If you're here in West Michigan and you have insurance needs, why not support somebody who supports us ring all the ten Hacen insurance. Reach out to our buddy John Klunder. That's ringing all the ten Hacen insurance RTI Grand Rapids dot Com one two. Bring in Folk Snoop Doggie Dogg and Doctor Drake. Is that Ben Do? And Champion Chad and Brian we're here too. Welcome back to What's on tab Radio. Looking

at a plethora of beers that we cracked about the show. More bad ones than good ones. Yeah, this is a strange one and I'm going to cross over here because we just opened the double dry hopped Secret Stash at IPS real fast from Independence Brewing Company, So real quick, if you're not familiar with it, Austin Bury Independence Bring Stash I p A Stash regular Stash Dank and Resinus. They call it the chronic of I p A s Why because it's dank, is dank and piney and resiny. It's it's like a big

bag of weed. It's delicious and I love that West Coast just awesome stash I p A. So we opened up the secret Stash this first time I've had this beer. I was so excited, poured it in my glass. I'm like, I don't smell weed, I don't smell pine, So I'm I decided to see what it says on the old untapped app Oh, it is an impactful aromatic compound that invokes intense tropical in citrus character. Yes, and that's what I got. I was like, why doesn't it taste like

Stash? I am not a big fan of tropical IPAs and so unpopular opinion. I was not a fan of that beer. It's enough of that guy. That's enough that guy, Brian. Brian now holds it on second mic. Right now, welcome to what's on tabrity, welcome kill my mic. Thanks. I'm telling you, I was so excited about this beer, and I was like, yeah, secret Stash. I thought maybe it was just

gonna be an even more intense version. It's super intense. It's a punch right in the mouth, but it's citrusy, and it's just I'm not I'm the polar opposite, like I want all this IPAs and how do you feel about tropical IPAs. I'm not as big a fan of tropical IPAs, but I do like them a lot. Do you like this one? I did like that. That's good. Yeah, I know you're talking about. I poured a little bit and I didn't need anymore. But you know what,

We've got lots of beers that we've poured out. And I know a lot of people thinking, man, you guys are opening a lot of beers. Well, there's three of us and most of it went down the drain. But speaking of going into the archives, now, this is a fresh, fresh batch of what I have in my hand. But speaking of archives, do you guys remember what these things are called. It's a bomber, Yeah, a twenty two ounce bottle. When we started this show, we had

a lot of those. That was over ten years ago. Can you believe they still make bombers? Not many of them though, No. And so I'm gonna crack this open. And this comes from real ale in Blanco, not Blanco Blanco, Texas and the Hill Country of Texas. Yes, And this is the one of my favorites, Sisiphus barley wine. And if you're not familiar with this, I'm speaking about Greek mythology. I am not talking

about a venereal disease. It's sissyphis okay, not syphilis, all right, So just so you're clear, this is a twenty two ounce bottle of ten percent barley wine. And I'm gonna pour heavy because I brought it and I'm a barley wine Well obviously you can pour heavy. It's a bomber. So I love barley wine. I'm still enjoining this coffee stout Captain's coffee style from

Gallas and Brew. This is really solid, dude. Okay, this is this is a golden colored barley wine with a beautiful white thick head on that. That's just gonna a lot of protein in there. Holding up, let me have a sip. What year is this from? Is this this year's Oh my, Brian, you can have second mic. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go. I'm leaving, dude. This is amazing. Oh yeah, this is this is This is hoppy, multi boozy, so balanced and clean. It's like when I say balanced, I mean equal punch in the

mouth of the Bilderness and we'll punch in the mouth of malt. I didn't think I don't like it, but I'm a fan. I love this. Oh this is so good. You definitely get dark fruit on there. Some prune notes some raisin raisin. Yeah, it's a little bit of raisin, but it's not it doesn't taste old. It's not an ox size. This is fresh. No, it's as fresh and it's not as dark. No I thought it would be. It's yeah, it's like a gold it really is golden light copper, right, copper there it is. Yeah, a

good way to describe it. Nice beer. Right, So we're making good on all those drain ports we had in the first hour. What's on top? Yeah, we had to because tell you what, I'm gonna shift gears here kind of pickingbacking it off our hold my beer and wash. This is a perfect segment to introduce this new bling that might be you might be seeing. It's not a good thing though. Now this has started in Wales and now it's moving into England and it won't be long before we probably see it

here in the United States. But criminals in England who commit alcohol fueled crimes are now required to wear ankle tags that monitor that are sweat every thirty men. The so called sobriety tags will alert the Probation Service if alcohol is detected in their sweat sample. Offenders caught breaching that their drinking band could face fines in further sentence and courts, and the scheme is being launched in England following

a successful rollout in Wales last year. I feel like we're kind of talked about it. I think a little bit of it, but I guess it caught on in Wales now they're introducing in England. More than one hundred defenders have been tagged in Wales and remained sober more than ninety five percent. So

there, that's some good news. Of the days they were monitored. Crime and Policing Minister said that these tags have already brought enormous benefit to Wales since they've introduced in October, with one offender they met saying that it's not only changed their ways and also saved his life. Wow. Yeah, they're saying, hey, look man, I needed this. I couldn't do it on my own. Now I need to get the monkey off my back. I

needed this bracelet. The smart and powerful new tool is helping fight against alcohol fuel violence which ruins two too many lives and families and creates mayhem and our towns and centers. That's what they said. The tax can be distinguished the difference between drinks and other types of alcohol. Wow, these are some very sophisticated tools here, I would say, such as hand sanitizer and perfume.

So it can detect whether it's alcohol from a beverage versus hand sanitizer and perfume, and they work twenty four to seven and can also tell if someone tries to block contact between the device and their skin. So maybe they try to slide a little band aid in there. Oh yeah, but yeah, So a new beer bracelet hitting the rounds in England. Well, I was gonna say, coming to a community near you, I have a feeling this is

gonna take off. And I mean we we already have here in the US bracelets for criminals, you know, for well, ankle monitors, ankle monitors, right, I mean, why wouldn't you include this? I think they had the breadth things in the car weet to blow before you can start the car. Yeah, you've got those. And then I remember one time I was at a bar. I'm not gonna say which one, but there was a young lady who walked in. I used the term lady used loosely.

She walked in and she was already under the influence and sat down and ordered another drink and somebody said, aren't you on parole? And she said yeah, are you gonna tell? And then her phone rang and she says, ohep, it's my parole officer, Like, well, you think they're monitoring that you through her phone? I don't think they were monitoring at all. They were just doing a random check to find out where she was. And so she had to run outside and take the at the grocery store because you

have to. Yeah, you have to take a you have to take those calls. And when they call and they gotta we want to know your whereabouts and we want to check everything. And she's like speep, yeah, man, so so interesting. Yeah, beer bracelet is sobriety. Ankle tags introduced for criminals who commit alcohol fueled crimes. And I can see that taking off here in the estates here and you know, maybe next year, if it's successful in Wales and if it also is successful in England, you know,

maybe the courts cancide. Maybe that's something they want to introduce here. Maybe they can do it real quick. We're so cracking beers here. I want to I'm almost out of I want to talk about this story we talked about last week, Chad. Uh, this sing Tao brewery. There was this viral video that went around of this guy urinating in the beer tanks. We talked about this last week. Yeah, it was on the ingredients. Yeah,

on the ingredients. Yeah. And this was a video that went viral all over social and China and then made its way all across you know, TikTok and so forth, and it was made national news. Well, Chad, I got something report about this. Oh yeah. This actually inspired a local music artist to come out with their own song called Whizzing and a Brewery. No, please zip up your pants. This is a bottling plan. You know. The children ran. You better step on back before you fall

in the tape. Don't be Advanu just nobody wants to drink it. You're wizen in the brewy. It's yellow with foam man. I ain't talking Lebruski. You're Wsen in the brewy. You ain't. You're right, it ain't right. Whizzing in a bury new hit coming to a radio station. Pick up your copy at Tower Records. Yeah, that's what we do. You're all ones on tap radio. All right, We're gonna take a break. Still come the Olympic Games. That's yesterday's news. There's a new games coming

to town that might pique your interest. We'll get the details on that. All this is so much more. We'll be right back on average, humans walk nine hundred miles per year and drink twenty two gallons of beer, which means the average human gets forty one miles per gallon. Not ben what's on tap d continues, boy boy plug our social media at what's on tap radio? Facebook, twit on Instagram, get ahold of us at what's on tap rido, Gmail dot com. In on my head out west. What's the

last time you listened to some kid rock? Depends? Were you watching Fox News or are you listening? Who's driving around right now with kid rock on our playlist? I remember I went to a kid rock concert when I used to do rock promotions back in my college days. But on a pretty good show. Oh he does a great show. I mean this was what two thousand and four. Don't take the kids though, No, no, no, he had like pretty much strippers on stage. I mean there aren't like

actually stripping, but they were not far from stripping. That was somebody's daughter up there. Oh, Yeah, us just saw a bunch of broken dreams and daddy issues on stage, and there are a whole lot of words that we can't say on this program. No, we can't now because we are broadcast and so FCC. They like to listen. They're they're big fans of the show, but they don't like that. That doesn't mean we get to

get away with saying whatever. We don't. We follow the guidelines. But the other the other place you saw them recently, if you were, if you were listening to them, maybe YouTube, probably, yeah, probably, But we're about to get in the story that apparently, but lights it's trying to win back some drinkers. Yeah, that's right. They're trying to win back some drinkers here, and I think this plan might work. You mean, free beer didn't work. Cases of beer for a dollar didn't work.

Man, Sometimes you just gotta keep grabbing the tool box. I know they partnered with Rich, not that Rich didn't work. Give me a socket nine sixteenth, all right, that didn't work. Yeah, the little bit of chicken fried cold beer on a Friday night didn't work. So the stock keeps tank and the sales keep going down. All right, we got one more straw we can grab at. Let's see if this works. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, bud Light is about to reclaim the title as America's

best selling beer and your favorite beer. And how do we know that? Well, because we know the marketing department is hard at work with a brand new partnership with UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship. I think this could work. It might, I think it could well. The Mixed Martial Arts Organization UFC revealed that they have struck a multi year deal with beer giant Anheuser Busch or ABM BEV, involving the bud Light brand having a heavy presence in UFC's content in

its broadcast an online presence beginning in twenty twenty four. Now this is my favorite part right here. I love that you know the public relations department was involved because UFC CEO Dana White said in a statement, there are many reasons why I chose to go with Anheuser Busch and bud Light, most importantly, most importantly because I feel we are very aligned when it comes to our core

values and what UFC brand stands for. I love, what are the core values of two guys or two gals beating the crap out of each other and collecting a bunch of money on pay per view. And don't get me wrong, it's a great sport. I love it. But I want to know what the core values are it's like, and then what are the core values of light beer? I just want to know. I'm like when somebody says, you know what, well, you're looking too far? Oh oh am,

I thinking too much. You got to bring it back a little bit. Yeah, okay, Yeah. He did say though that the furthest thing, you know, his decision to partner with anazer Bush. The furthest thing from my mind was the money. Yeah, I'm not sure about this. How much do you think of that money deal? Was that a lot of money? I think millions? I don't know. Yeah, you know you're millions, Oh easily easily. But Dan White did say this, and I have to agree with this statement here. This is a good he says.

He says Anheuser Busch or ABMBEV employee sixty five thousand Americans, thousands of veterans, and they spend over seven hundred million dollars a year with US farmers. So I agree, maybe those are the core but I didn't know that UFC a combat sport of a very mixed martial arts fighting. Their core value was the US farmer. I just didn't know that. I was unaware that could be their demo. That might be one of their demo. It might be. But whenever I turn on UFC and I'm watching and I like it,

it's a great sport. I think it's I think what UFC has done for sports is fantastic. I think the UFC parties are great. I think it's one done for bars and who get the pay per view. I love it, Dana White. I'm just waiting for a good friend Andrew Mitchell over at Senate Brewing to start showing the the UFC and that he's a sports bar.

Yeah, rightwing shout out to you guys, love you guys. Yes, But I just never understood that, I said, say, I don't know that I ever will understand when UFC says, yeah, our core value the American farmer. Just not. I mean, I'm not saying you're against the farmer. I just didn't know that was one of your core values. But maybe the ones buying a lot of T shirts UFC T shirts, maybe they are. But anyway, look for butt Light to reclaim the number one spot

on uh beer sales here in the United States. The brewery sponsor before. I don't know if they had one. I mean maybe they did. Time is it? Oh? Was it? Uh? Huh? No, Modella? You knew this. So the current number one. Oh, this is why Modela is gonna fall. They're currently the number one best selling beer in the United State. Three we're gonna fall the number two. Why because they didn't sponsor UFC and bud Light says, yeah, we'll take that deal.

I wonder if they just put more money on the table. Oh, you know, they didn't. Wonder it's a lot of money. Alright. So, speaking of sports and combat sports, move over Olympics. You know the Summer Olympics are next year, but they got some competition this time. Ready for this one, guys, listen to Florida Man the first ever Florida Man Games Florida Man Games are set for February and Saint Augustine. All right, Yes, of twenty twenty four events they got planned are a lot more interesting

than shot put in water polo. Wait a minute, hold, everyone in Florida can sign up and potentially compete, So is it Florida Man or Florida Woman or Florida any one the first ever Florida Man Games. Okay, but it's up you know. It's open to anyone who's has any kind of felony on their record and not just kidding. Any anyone in Florida can sign out.

They will choose sixteen teams which five people each, and the five events they got planned will be They got the Beer Belly Florida sumer Wrestling, which is basically just like summer wrestling without the training and prestige. They have the Evading Arrest Obstacle course where you'll jump over fences and run through yards while being chased by the cops. They have the They have the Catalytic Converter, two

bikes, and a handful of copper pikes. Is described as a head to head match or lets you live a day to life of a Florida Man headline, which is guessing you have to steal a whole bunch of stuff as fast as possible. The next one is a weaponized pool noodle mud duel, jousting with pool noodles while standing on a platform and above ground pool. It's got to be an above ground pool ing ground pool. No way, that's indeed restricted community. Florida Man lives with an above ground pool. If you're just

sitting in we're talking about the inaugural of the Florida Man Games. Coming out. Next on the list is the Category five cash grab. Oh, this is looting, like one of those boxes where you stand and try to grab dollar bills and they'll say you're subject to a hurricane force wins. So it's like one of those two hurricane force wins. Yeah, one of those those two those like telephone booths. What love it? What contest would be complete

without a mullet contest? Yep, a Florida Mam Beauty pageant. They have a Florida Mam Beauty pageant. How about a chicken coop bingo where two chickens will pick the numbers. You know how the chickens pick the numbers? Yeah, they go around pooping. Yeah, they crap on the number. Whatever number gets crapped on, that's the call. And the facilities will end with something called a nine to one to one fight night Brawl of the Badges.

That one appears to be a series of boxing matches between fighters and cops. Oh my tickets are forty five dollars or one hundred and forty five dollars for VIP tickets. I'm buying them VIP and you can get through them through Alma dot com and they enlist two former American gladiators to judge. So two former American gladiators our favorites, Nitro and Ice Nice and you can get a photo with them for an extra fifty bucks. No, I don't want to.

No, I don't want No, you lost me right there. It was a great value at one hundred and forty dollars for the VIP tickets because I want to be there to see this whole experience. I want the entire experience, but maybe not the entire experience because I'm not spent spending an extra fifty bucks just to have my photo taken. More well, I mean, Nitro and ies aren't doing much these days. No, all the money they can

get. So yeah, if you want to compete, you have till mid November to register, and their website says that there's no athletic training required. Oh I love it. You just got to sign the waiver. Yeah, it's all gonna do. Hey, listen, you do not have to have a criminal record, nor do you have to have any kind of athletic training.

That would be pretty awesome though, if they gave you, like I don't know if if you had a handicap, you know where if you had a criminal record, like you gotta you gotta five you gotta handicap like a you know, five second delay or something like that. It reminds me of the I'm Gonna Get you Sucker where they had the first annual Youth Gang competition where they had to run with TV's getting chased and they yeah, they turned the police dogs loose after him, and how fast they can strip a car

with trove bars and so forth. And those TVs Man, they were the big old toom TVs too. They like these light flat screens either getting chased by domberments. But yeah, the inaugural Florida Man Games will include beer belly suma in invading a rest obstacle course. So there you go. I think this is gonna take this will take off. I'm I'm in fact, I want to sponsor it. What's on tap? Brady wants to be a sponsor.

The last segment went on tap Ofo for this week is brought to you by our good friends over at Tantric Brewing Company. Yes, still talking about this October Fest tap fourteen. Well, yeah, I think I think we've run that. I think we've

run out of the keg. We've run that thing dry. Which, by the way, I'm surprised they haven't come out with a Christmas beer yet. Wait, I'll be there tomorrow. Let me go check. They may have one. We're gonna tracks another beer here. But before why Brian's pulling out Because Brian's like, look, guys, it was a complete cluster in the beginning. We poured more beers out than we've consumed. This is a first. I think I want to give a little parting gift Chad going back to

Michigan. He's actually a studio USh right now, take this back a minute. Will you take this back with you to Michigan and drink that sometime in December? This no, no, no, this will be consumed very soon. That's the Lone Star. That's a national beer Texas. It's OG. It's the OG and it's something about drinking a Lone Star in a different state.

YEA, hits different, it does. I mean, you could drink it here in Texas all you want, but once you drink it like in Wisconsin, Monroe, Wisconsin, or or Peeria, Illinois, Peria, Illinois, or Charlotte, Michigan or whatever. It actually pronounced Charlotte in Michigan, not Charlotte. Wherever you are consuming a Lone Star outside of the state of Texas, it hits different. It does because you're drinking the national beer Texas. So I was gonna crack that, but I was like, you know

what, Chad want you just take this back with you. Yeah, check your luggage because I mean, uh yeah, put check your legge just because you had this beer. Southwest Airlines man, I am, I got free bags. Okay, I'm good. Jazz only he has a little batpack carry on. He's only gonna check it because he has a beer in there. Oh that's funny. But all right, So why we're cracking another beer. I will take a picture of all these beers that we've consumed. Yeah,

they think it's consumed. In studio stunt liver Brian holzen KPRC is cracking open another beer for us to round out the show. Oh wow, Bolivard, Kansas City, Boulevard's whiskey barrel stout. It is Kansas City, right, it is Kansas City. Yeah, it's pronounced Kansas City. It's not Kansas cety Kansas. It's not Kansas, Kansas City, it's Kansas. Yes, we are notorious for mispronouncing names of towns and cities, and sometimes we'll get t shirts out of it. Yes you are, and yes you do.

Yes, I've received exactly zero. That's not true. No, it is good stuff here, all right, Thank you, Brian. We have beautiful listeners who like to send us correct pronunciation. Holy crap, that might be the best beer we've had today from Boulevard. Wow. Shout out to our good friend Scott's Ghannis show. Oh yeah, of a good friend. He's over at Boulevard. We haven't talked to him in a while. But yeah, this is the whiskey. I'm not sure if I've ever had a whiskey

barreled stout from Oh I've had this takes seven or takes seven? Is amazing? Yes, Yeah, this is smooth and a little bit vanilla e and slight caramel note, but it's not sweet. Before we get out here, I wanna got some things to tell you for Wisconsin. Speaking of Monroe, Wisconsin, Quick Trips around the state of Wisconsin are given free beer to Wisconsin

Heights. Now it's a gas station convenience store. Yep. Apparently a Quick Trips system outrage caused some hassle for patrons and a rack up re war points and other loyalty program items. But Wisconsin beloved a convenience store is making things right the only way they know how to. Well, I mean, it's a beer drinking state. Better give them free beer. You bet you free beer? You bet you give a shout to that man I love Miles,

all right, that's right. Quick Trip is offering free beer after the system outage. In their app. All you have to do is verify your age to op into the age restricted offers and you'll be able to get beer for

free or give beer for free. And the offer expires this month the end of the month and it's valid for Wisconsin Quick Trips only, but weis consin ights of age are encouraged to take advantage of this, which includes one free Miller Light Course Light Course bank with sixty ounce aluminium pint or a twenty four our single can and this is limited to one per offer. But those looking to kickstart their weekend head over to a local Quick Trip for free beer.

And this again, this is on the app for Wisconsin Heights. So yeah, they're apparently their system crash. It's causing a lot of chaos because they're Wisconsin, ight, it's gonna get their their beer, yeah, or their quick Trip points, which is interesting because they're giving it out course light, middle light, course light or of course bank would excuse me, but what's one beer they I see in most wisconsas Knight's drink. Yeah, so it's interesting. Okay, but there you go. Hey, free beer for all

you out there in Wisconsin. I know you're listening. We see the data, we do, all right, so let me take a sip of this. Hang on, Yeah, you take a sip of that. While you're doing that. I want to thank our friends at Superior Pest Control of West Michigan for always sending us stories. And there's a there's a there's a story from the archives and that we discovered and so this didn't happen yesterday, but we saw this like we've never talked about this, but this, this is

too good to pass up. This is a good one. Here James has got his beer poured in his glass. He's happy. Yeah, he's got his honker in there. Yeah, abb on this. Yeah, it's gonna high eleven point eight. I was gonna say, really up there at work, all right? So have Yeah? Well here we'll just tie this in perfect. James, you're already home. But if you decide to go for a stroll tonight after drinking this high abb beer, not going anywhere? Yeah, I was gonna say, but if you did, wouldn't it just suck?

If you were out walking around and forgot how to get home. Well, I mean that means either A, I'm just really intoxicated, right, or B I just all of a sudden I got you know, dementia. Or you just said, ah, this looks like my buddy's house. I think I'll crash here for the night. Right. I have a story kind of happened that way, But lucky the person's door was locked. Ah, very good, Well, because I actually I went I was upstairs and I went to go grab something out of my car, and I was so try.

I was worried about getting it out of my car that I forgot which apartment number they were, and that's what I thought was their apartment number. It's not the right number. I ended up the door was locked, and so I was like, man, this sys I don't know if this is right. So I ended up with my friend and they're like, no, man, I'm in part and blah blah blah. I'm like, oh,

this is not the right part. But can you imagine can you imagine if the door was unlocked and I just walked in this is not my place. I know that's crazy. Well, this is a beer drinking episode that just went a little bit wrong. Because if you imagine being out after a long night of drinking and you decide to stumble around in the neighborhood and maybe walk it off, sleep it off, you know, sleep, walk it off, whatever it is, and you decide to yeah, yeah this, I'm

gonna go over my buddy's house. Well, in this particular case, dude ended up with a wife. All right, so what you heard me correctly, guy goes out on a beer drinking bender and he's like, man, I gotta go over my buddy's house. And he starts going around. He walks into the wrong house. Well, a twenty two year old woman in New York comes in, finds this guy sleeping on her couch, calls the cops and he's immediately arrested. Well, finds out what the real story is

and what happened, and he shows up. You know, after all this goes down, brings flowers, apologizing and she looks at him and says, you know what, you know what's gonna make this right? You need to meet my parents. They started talking, they became friends, shared a beer

two and seven years later they got married. So if you're struggling out there with the dating apps, what we'd like, what's on Tap Radio would like to encourage you to do is go out on a drinking bender and just stumble around the neighborhood and whatever door is open, walk in, lay down on the couch, and fall asleep. Don't do that, Sclamer chat. We don't have enough time. Oh yeah, okay, don't do that. But it does have a happy ending because now the happy couple is starting a family.

So what's started out with a drunken walk around the neighborhood, walking into the wrong apartment, the cops getting called, ended with flowers, meeting the parents and now married and having a family. That's a good way to end the show. So they call the police finding a stranger into the sofa, and now they're getting married. All right, we gotta say goodbye. I

want to thank Brian holds It for hanging out with us. Also want to hang out Finger sponsors Tantric Brewing, Superior Pest Control, be AO Logic, Conference and events we know all to make Insurance Group the back of our girl of course, sponsoring our podcast cast branding. So for mister Biology Chap, he'll be Miam James Simpson thing. Thanks for checking on What's on Tap Radio. We hope you enjoyed it, and we hope that you enjoyed it.
