I guess that everybody here and well, well we'll introduce everybody here and studio here in a second. But this segment is brought to the table. We're rules of rules. We drink beers until the micro hot, and everyone's kind of be standing at at me, sitting at me, looking at me, like, bro, can we crack a beer?

And Brian hols in here's Cholo news. He's been here and hanging out, but he's like we crack a beer in Hey. I like how James says, we'll let you know who's here later and Brian Holsen later. Yeah. Technically it's like that old saying. It's like every photograph of you is a photo of you when you were younger. Yep, technically that's right. Also in studio with a stunt beer liver Mario and a good friend of ours over

at the Backyard Girl. Speaking of the Backyard Girl, this is brought to the table sponsored by the Backyard Girl in the northwest side of Houston, where they have over one hundred different beers and Mario has drank every one of them twenty seven times. Yeah. I know, he's got his own section at the Backyard Girl's pretty impressive. It's awesome. Absolutely, let's crack some beers. All right. Well, I came into town and what do you mean

you came into town? You're not Michigan right now? Oh man, I had to visit you, man, I had I had to be here for part of this. It's my wife's cooking, that's what it was. No. Actually, it was Tanya and Patrick Tantrik Brewing Company and Alligan and they said, hey, James Lakes is Octoberfest. Will you go deliver this? And I said, all right, so I'm just dropping this off and then I'm gonna go back to my studio. And so this is like this is a scene from Castaway, right, this is for you, all right,

I gotta go now, I gotta go do a radio show. But now from Tantrik Brewing Company there Octoberfest. Been talking about tap fourteen over there, but this was this one came off the canning line. And I'm a poor little splash for myself. I'm gonna let you guys indulge because I get this all the time downtown Alligan, Michigan, where the construction is prevalent, but

you know what has not kept people away. And so if you're in the area and you're like, oh well, I'll wait till construction's done, don't wait. Get down there, go support small businesses. Tantrick Brewn Company. This is the october Fest beer, and I'm gonna go ahead. And just I haven't had this out of the canyon. I've had this right on the tap. I've just been drinking it. James has it in his dimpled mug. Dude, I see the official Mario, didn't he passed on the glass.

I gave him the Samuel Adams one, and I'm taking them one with the dimple mixed. The beer tasting eight times better out of this dimpled mug. Oh yeah, that's right. Well whoa, whoa, whoa eight times better? Yeah, well, okay, this is exponentially better because we have the sam Adams Boston Lagger glass. And by the way, is you know if you drink an october Fest out of a Samuel Adams Boston Lagger glass, free admission to Octoberfest in Munich? Yeah that's right. Yeah, you don't

even have to wear Derndel or leader hosen or even buy a ticket. You just get free admission. That is not true. Oh okay, yeah, I might have to run that disclaimer. Yeah, all right, it's good. I like that. That's tasty, Morrison, it is job Tania Patrick. Yeah, I'd love to give you the tasting notes on it. But you know what, it's the small batches they can it up. It's right on there. I think it says on their Mario, what's the same on the canda? What's the ABV says? Five point five is it? Yeah?

Five point five percent alcohol? Mario confirms it's official five to five. So all right, that's what I brought to the table, all the way from Alligan, Michigan Brewing Company, october Fest. James, all right, I'm bringing also a Mars into the table because shock or I mean it is october Fest season until October thirty first, or I'll keep going in November until I run out of Octoberfest. But I'm bringing a boy to the table. Boy Boy, Boy brewd On Island. Oh, this is Galveston Island brew

Galvison Island Brewing are good friends over at Galvis Island Brewing Company. October Fest. Boy brewd On Island, they're october Fest. Yeah, boy and this James takes his sample of his tantric beer and chugs it down. Meanwhile, the stunt beer livers are lapping it up over there. Bright Holsen KPRC super Mario BYG. I've had this beer many times, so I'm just gonna pour a little bit of that. See. I this is the one thing I haven't done since I've been to town. I haven't had any Houston beers.

Well, we got a lot of them here, all right, all right, problem solved. But this is your Octoberfest from Galvis Island Brewing Company. Basically on their website, it's just tiss the season for this multi flavorful fall beer at five point four percent, I'll called by volume. Is there anything written on the can there? Marios? Oh, yeah, he needs that copy. But by the way, I'm gonna go ahead and point out that the malt sweetness on this beer a little bit more prevalent than what we had

with the Tantric Octoberfest. For Tantric Octoberfest, a little bit drier, a little bit more crushable, and very delicious beer, very light sweetness, very very Again, as I said, Tantrick was a little drier. This one here a little bit more multi chewy, sweet forward, nice beer from Galveston Island. I know I'm a fan of it. I hand selected a few beers that I really enjoyed this time of year, and you know, I did a TV segment. I brought this beer on because it's one of my

favorites always in the fridge. Here a s dodos and do a good job. But however, they don't have a lot of talking points on this beer. Just says, tis the season for this multi flavorful of fall beer.

Galason Island Brewing copy. Oh wait, I found the talking points. This delicious Brudon Island October Fest beer from Galveson Island Brewing Company is a creation of when we went to munich that one time and we couldn't afford to get in, so we said we're gonna make our Okay, made all that up, all right, but I just wanted to make it sound like James had his hands on some copy.

There's really nothing in there either. Yeah, and on Tantry delicious great example of Octoberfest made an Algan Michigan there it is okay there, Hey, we didn't have to go that deep on that. We just didn't. We just kind of we're leaving the suspense in the air so that you will go and try it for yourself. Remember it's on Tap fourteen. It is, and for how much longer? We don't know. Yeah, every time I go in there, I keep drinking it. Oh we got a new beer,

Let me sample it? Okay, cool, now pour me in number Tap fourteen. So let me give us a little teaser of what we got on tap this week. I told you we're gonna get political, not something we normally do on this show. But there's a party out there. I'm gonna throw what's on tap radio. We're gonna support this party. Oh all right, hold on a second, let me get my check book. I didn't know we were sponsoring something. We're gonna support this party, and there

might be a lot of people out there going. I'll never listen to that show ever again. You know, they came out and shaking hands and kissing babies, and I've liked what they said. I'm glad they were shaking hands and kissing babies and not shaking babies and kissing hands. But all right, so what does this and so well, we'll talk about that later and then he's teasing us. Yeah, this is what happens whenever you don't show up

We're all, we're all. James never knows what the official What's on Tap Radio Fun Fact of the week is going to be? And well, I'm just gonna say foreshadowing interesting. And then we got to talk about you know how they discontinued fat Tire.

Yeah, well there's a brewery paying tribute to the original fat Tire that New Belgium discontinued, and we'll talk about that, and then all this is so much more. But I think it's time. It's time to do that where we don't crack another beer because we're out of beer. Let's uh, let's do both. Let's crack a beer and why we do a fun Brian holds and grab a beer on stand by. Here we go, the official What's on Tap Radio Fun Fact of the week, brought to you by Who's

ever checked clear? This week? Sorry, Brian, we need to throw you under the bus. Yeah, what happens whenever we we just have other people in the studio and we're just gonna kind of improvise, but out of the cooler. Brian, what is this?

Okay, nice guy to cross Okay, Yeah, he's gonna put he's gonna put his readers on now too. See we're

gonta give a shout out to her. We're gotta give a shou out to her. Buddy Justin Stapleton. He's doing his own little what's on tap segment? You have all the bottle caps. I can't drop a okay, but this is a cross check from Galveston, is all right? And it's a golden Chris for freshing beer. Go and correct that, all right, chat why he's doing that? All right, let's drop some learning knowledge. Okay. Well, James was talking about paternity tests that they're gonna end up on

this show. And you know, I like how you squeezed in a couple of stories that were just not on the one sheet. But that's all right. You know what, that's fine, that's fine, that's all right. Well, your official What's on Tap Radio fun Fact week, we are going to offer up a public service announcement because and what does that have to do with paternity test? Stand by, you're gonna find out when you think about first aid kits. I'm gonna ask you, James, first aid kits.

What's in a first aid kit? Beer? Beer? Okay? Yeah, I can't stand to watch this guy bleed out. I gotta get hammered. You got your band aids, band aids, you got your hydrant of peroxide. Yep, you got maybe some you got some ointment, some ointments, yeah, yeah, some tweezers, but there you go. You know,

maybe a pucket knife, FIP bandage, scissors, all that stuff. Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, after you hear this story, there's one more item that you're gonna want to go ahead and include in your first aid kit. I told you beer. It's not beer. No, no, no, no, including your first aid kit A condom? Oh yeah, everybody looked at me like I just spilled beer. Yeah that's right. Well, I just want to let you know condoms are very safe despite how

safe they are. And I know what you guys are thinking, You're like, where's he going with this? What does it having to do with beer? Don't worry, I'll get there. Uh. Condoms, they when used correctly, they still fail three percent of the time. Okay, all right, but we still say suggest that you were one you absolutely yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely, And four point three percent of women claim to have gotten pregnant while under the influence of alcohol. Really, yeah, I don't say.

I know I have two kids because of it. Okay, Well, I now know who is going to be sponsoring the official once on taberdial foot back to the week from here on out. If there's a marriage counselor out there that would like to sponsor this segment, we have a secret. We have an opening hour real al Fireman's four. I mean, I'm just saying, oh my, he even knows the bear that's the beer that brings the

cheer. Okay, wow. Uh. Well. The reason I'm gonna go ahead and tell you this is is because there was an instance where a condom was used to save a man's life and it was one one hundred percent effective. A Chinese man in twenty seventeen was so excited to be drinking his Princes beer that he didn't notice that the bottle cap from the bottle had fallen off into the glass, and he chugged the entire beer, swallowing the bottle cap.

Now, this was a problem in the nineteen seventies with the pole tabs and the state tabs, when they were popping off of cans and people were wondering, I think I just swallowed one. What's going to happen. Well, the doctor's back then said, don't worry about it. It will pass as long as you're not feeling any discomfort. While this man in twenty seventeen

had a beer bottle cap inside of his stomach and he experienced discomfort. So we immediately went to the hospital thinking he swallowed a bottle cap, which he did, and the doctor said, there are multiple ways we can extract this, but you're not going to pass it without doing damage, and we don't

want you to vomit it back up. They could do open surgery, which would have caused internal bleeding and all kinds of complications, but they said there's another way to do it, and they looked at the best looking intern in the room and they said give me your wallet, and he pulled out a condom. Okay, I made up that part. Okay, I don't know

if that's true or not. But they found a condom and they managed to take the condom and insert it through his esophagus, threw his mouth all the way down, engulfed the cap, and pull it back up without tearing up

the inside of his esophagus. So your official What's on Tap Radio fun fact of the week is that in twenty seventeen, a Chinese man was so excited to drink his Prince Beer that he didn't notice a beer bottle cap inside of his glass, chugged it, swallowed it, and doctors determined the best way to save his esophagus from being tore up from the edges of the bottle cap was to insert a condom into his throat and remove the bottle cap safely.

It's interesting that they discovered that, Like, who was sitting at the round tables? I got it, got an idea, got it. I saw this at at a frat party. Man, it was a cool trick. They're like, that won't work, Jimmy, trust me. It was in China. There's no way there named Jimmy. Well there are in India when they call me for my uh okay, for your own warranty. Alright, gotcha there, Okay, all right, we're gonna take a break. Good fun fact. I'll tell you to learn something. But I still have a

question about that. All right, still to get to. On this episode, we're gonna get political, not something we normally do it, and we might upset a lot of people, but we're doing it. I think we just did. We'll tell you how and all this is so much more. We got more beer to crack and we'll talk more about this cross check coming out. We'll be right by. On average, humans walk nine hundred miles per year, entering twenty two gallons of beer, which means the average human

gets forty one miles per gallon. Not Ben, What's on tap Radio continues splee splash. I was taking the bell all about a Saturday night. I have an amazing fun fact about this song. We just did the fun fact, Chad, No, you gonna do another one? I do? Okay, all right to tell you, yes, splitch splash. I was taking a bath and then what does he do? He gets out of the tub, goes out of the room and into a crowd, right into a party. This song was banned from radio. This is one song that was banned

from radio for a period of time. Are we not supposed to be playing a song? No? No, no, no, hey, hey, producer, kill it. Why don't get in trouble? No no, no, no it was you know. It's okay now, I mean, I mean, let's just be honest. I mean, Cardi b gets on the radio. This is okay. Wait, what does she do? She talks about things that you're not supposed to talk about. Good time, Yeah, speak of things we're not supposed to talk about. We're gonna be talking about

some things. But this song was banned because they said the guy got out of the tub and walked into a room. But it never said that he put clothes on, so it implies he walked in naked. So they said that's too risky for radio. I remember there's this true story. There was

this cliff that aired years and years and years ago. It's Paul Harvey, right, and Paul Harvey is talking about this guy, this criminal I was running around naked and he got his junk slammed in the car door and listening to Paul Harvey, you know, the professional professional broadcaster described the story, and he goes and his naked tally whacker. No we did, No, I don't know. It was so awkward right now, page three. Now, I don't know how we got on this subject, but we're going to

talk about showering habits. Well, okay, Well there was another story and I remember this a while back, where I think it was holiday inn got sued where a gentleman turned the shower on and stepped into the shower and was scalded. Oh shut up, no, I'm not I'm not making this just like that. This is worse than the McDonald's hot coffee. Yes, And I remember the DJ was telling me the story. I was listening to the story and it was on and it was in Grand Rapids and I'm listening.

I'm like and again, and the DJ says, I don't know about you, but when I when I get in the shower, I tend to check the water temperature with something else, like my hand. I don't use that to check the water temperature. Is this the person in the same person doesn't doesn't dip their toe in the water before they jump in. I don't know. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is your public service announcement of why you don't drink beer in the shower, except oh, I'll have a shower

beer. I have a shower beer all the damn time. I know. I have a good friend of mine, Troy always said, when we were in college, drinking in the shower. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Troy, he said, drinking in the showers like drinking about the pool. Oh yeah, that's exactly right, like you're in the grotto, you know. But there's a story that it came out, and I don't like. I don't like their approach. It says there are three types of people.

Those who have an in and out mentality when it comes to showering. Okay, I mean, do you jump in in there about two minutes and then get out, or you are those that spend extra time standing in there doing whatever. Of course, don't there going, well, keep going, keep going. Of course, the people that don't take a shower. There are people that get in the shower and there there for ten minutes, like what are you doing on? Teenagers? Stop it? Move on? Okay.

Anyways, well, there's a new survey out there on people's unique shower habits, and twenty three percent of Americans say they brush their teeth while showering. I don't that's gross. I've done that. No, No, Over eighty percent of women shave their legs while showerings. I get that. I think that's normal. Eighteen percent of men do it occasionally. I don't wantly save

in the shower because I have a mirror and it gets foggy. I shave my head and face every day in the shower, while eight percent of men regularly shave their legs in the shower. What, Yeah, there's I guess swimmers. I guess that's a swimmers. Now. The one thing I won't do is I won't drink beer in the shower and shave because that's just way too much coordination and I don't have it. Plus with the soap slippery floor, I don't want to. I don't want to sprain an ankle or something.

And then they say, but it just isn't shaving and cleaning themselves. Twenty percent of people clean the shower as they're using it. Yeah, done, I've done that. Yeah. Some wash their clothes while they're in the shower. I've done that. And about fifteen percent of Americans shower with their pets. Shower with their pets. Okay, hold on a second. I've been told that drinking a beer in the shower is weird. I'm getting there. This is weird. I'm getting there. I told you I didn't like

their approach here on the story. So they're talking about taking a shower with their their pet like it's a normal thing. I get. I get, Yeah, they just get their dog or their No, I can't imagine doing a cat. Then, like the shower's clawing everywhere, and then it says on this list. Some other unusual things people do in the shower include watching TV. I definitely do that. I have the game on. I'm cool with that. I had the game on and I'll watch it on the counter.

You know, I have the my phone on the counter and I can see it from and I watched the game. James is worried about people being in the shower for ten minutes, and James is in there. He's in there for nine innings. We're out of hot water, honey, I don't care. But the Astros are tied in the bottom of the ninth and I am not getting out now. I'm telling you, man, bring me another beer, watching TV, listening to audio books, using a smartphone, No,

and a thing. They feel that it's really unusual drinking beer. No, no, no, you drinking more beer. Drinking beer is more unusual than taking a shower with your pet. No, no, no, no no. And I don't dare use a smartphone in the accidental case that I hit record. I don't want a camera to go. I'm like, no, I do know. Facebook Live like, wait, Chad bro, you're

live right now. I'm not gonna say who. But we had a listener who accidentally texts her medical information from her female doctor just recently about her PAP smear. I'm not kidding. Told it was published, I was like, oh my goodness, I can't believe that happened. That's what happens if you don't lock your phone before you put in your pocket. That's why true story.

We are not making this up. So so yeah, fifteen percent of Americans have showered with their pet, and they're saying drinking a beer in the shower is more unusual than taking a shower with your pet. No. No, And this is the first I've ever heard anybody who taking a shower with their pet. Now, if you do, hey, that's you do, you boo. But I don't think it's more unusual to drink a beer in a shower than it is to take a shower. I don't think you could

walk into a beer bar or a brewery. Sit down. Let's say I'm gonna walk in the backyard grill later. I'm gonna just go in there. I'm gonna say, hey, took a shower with my cat today, and that's just gonna fly. But if I walked in I said, hey, I had a shower beer today, they'd be like, oh, yeah, what were you drinking? Yeah, you mowed the lawn? What were you doing? Like that's a normal thing. But if I go in, I was like, yeah, Ferret needed a bath. Let me tell you how

much of a professional I am. I know this is FCC regulated. Show. Sure, I almost said an inappropriate joke about taking a shower with a cat. Don't you do it? Just know that I did it. Man, know the joke I was gonna crack. Meanwhile, the lawyers are scratching their head wondering how they can keep getting us out of this mess. All right, but that's uh. I told you We're going to talk about showering habits on this episode. So if do you take a shower with a pet?

Well, I mean no, no, all right, well, speaking of awkward, let's just keep the awkwardness going. I mean, let's just get it all over in this segment we've got time here. There was something that somebody mentioned. They said it was a guy went into a restroom at a sporting event, goes up to the stall. He's waiting his turn, and the guy in front of him had two beers in his hand. He

turns around, he's like, can you hold this? And he's like hold what And he's like it's like the beer, I gotta go And it's like, oh okay, yeah, I'll hold that. And he's like that was really awkward. So we did a little research. I want to thank our friends is Superior Pest Control who told us about this story. We started digging into this and what are some of the most awkward things that have happened to you at the urinal Talking to you guys, yeah, no kidding, that

was very awkward out there. By the way, if you're talking about urinal etiquette, listen, ladies, the the goal for men, this is a goal and you can encourage us. Go in, do your business, get out, don't make eye contact, don't talk, there's no conversation. Say no. Yeah. There's one guy goes in there and he's like, he looks over he's a nice watch, Like that's weird. I used to work with this guy when I was at the radio station and he would walk in and goes, oh, that water's cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

that's his way of bragg Yeah, try to yeah. And he's to always say that. I'm like, did he crack that joke? Every time? And nobody's laughing. But but some people go in and they think they got to comment on your watch to make sure that you're not looking further down, you know, and like checking out the guy and he's like, no, you don't need to say anything. But the other thing is is listen if you've got a beer in there, And I'm going to tell you this right

now, this is a pro tip. If you have a beer in your hand when you're going in the urinal, go it's okay to drink beer at the urinal. It is because then nobody's questioning what you're thinking, what you're looking at. Now there's no awkward conversation because like the idea of bringing my beer into the bathroom. Oh oh, you're one of those forever unclean well like ruskt Ruxan, But I get that. You know, people were like, I don't want a roofie at my beer, so I might just take

it with me. Yeah. There was one guy who went in and he looked over and some guy was talking and he says, shut up John Mayer because he kind of looked like John Mayer. And then he went and washed hands. He's like, holy crap, you're John Mayer. And he ran into John Mayer in a bathroom. That was kind of funny. It's always awkward. Of course, if people are doing inappropriate things in the stalls, that's not good. But yeah, as I said before, if somebody asked

you to hold a beer, I want to know this is that? Okay? Well I saw that on the list that there's two guys in front of a guy, two friends and they're both going too the urinal at the same time, and they turn around to the guy behind him, who didn't know them. He's like, hey, can you hold our beers real quick? Get He's like, wait, I don't know you, And this is just

really really awkward. And like I don't know about this, but also the other awkward things seeing women use the urinal, Like now I've actually seen this and she was drinking a beer. I mean it's usually alcohol involved. Yeah, there is so anyway, so we got all the awkwardness out in this segment, Ladies and gentlemen, I promise it's going to be a whole lot less awkward. We're talking about awkward things that happened. We'll drinking beer in

the journal. Yeah, but I don't know it's out there. We're going to talk about it. But we're next we'll get political. We are going to get political on this, don't worry, and we're going to be far less awkward. We're going to probably upset a lot of people. But I just feel that in ten years on the radio, it's time to take a political stance. All right, We'll tell you what we're gonna do. It's

what's on tap radio. Hang with us much more. We got more beers to crack because I'm already out of this third beer that we've been drinking. Since we have a studio audience, We'll be right back. Yeah, we drink water, but it has to be filtered through a brewery. First, you've got What's on tap radio? She is that she is as well. I love Lionel Richie. Gotta hold a show. That's at Chad Pillbeam. I am at James in a radio. Follow us on social media Facebook,

Twitter, Instagram. Got the TikTok uh, drop us an email. What's on tapdo at gmail dot com. I got a new listener email if we have time to get on this episode. You got a listener email. Went to What's on taprido gmail dot com and dropped us a line. But there's plenty of ways to get ahold of the show. Unfortunately, our phone screen are quit, so we can't take calls this time. But we hope to hopefully hire somebody. Not gonna happen, but you know, we don't really

have that in our budget. No. I was gonna say when that marriage counselor sponsors the fun fact. All right, mister Simpson, gotta talk to you for a second. Yeah, what's up? I can't pay my rent with beer, but it's get the beer though, Yeah, yeah, yeah, think about all the money you're saving from all the beer that I'm for you. That's true. That would do it, That would do it. Yeah, speaking of you mentioned listener emails. I reached out to the brewery.

We can talk a little bit more about that later, but we did get a response from that brewery where I went and visited new Bery out in Jackson, Michigan that I hadn't been to Ogma Brewing and got like a three quarter fill on my growlery. Anyway, they were very generous in their response and very apologetic. But I bring that up because James brought up how to reach out to us and get ahold of us, and we reached out to the brewery and we didn't bash him on social media or anything like that.

We gave him an opportunity to make it right. And they are but in my hand. Because James wasn't looking during the break, I reached into his beer cooler and I pulled out a beer that I'm like, this looks good, and there's four of us here, let's get a thirty two ounce crowler going on. I did have some crowlers in the yay. Oh, I think I know, I think I have one laugh at and yeah, if you just tuning in, we've got stunt beer livers in studio with us.

We're all together today. That's right holding hands. We are we are holding hands, yes, and sharing beer. I'm holding hands with Brian holding right now. The studio ass on the west side of Hugh. My hands are so saletti, Bryan. I decided to come back to town. Here we are. We're with a super mario from BYG. Brian Holdsen KPRC. And this is a crawler from tell Yard. Yes, and I haven't been there. You just well they haven't opened yet. Well you went and checked them

out and you said, super cool place. Yeah. Well, they have like a little satellite office for the time being as the construction is being built it it's gonna be in Sugarland, Texas, which is on the southwest side of Houston, next to Constellation Field where the Space Cowboys play that is the Triple A affiliate for the Houston Astros and right next to the stadium. Is just going to be the state of the art brewery and it is gonna be

like nothing else. And I think they're projected to open sometime in twenty twenty four. But they did have some you know, they got a test pilot system going right, Yeah, and pilot system of small batch system so you can try out your spees and I want to give a shout out just because they're huge fans of the show, and they invited me to come out.

I went out there with very nice Rodney Campbell of Cast Branding, and they kind of just broke down the beers that they're going to be bringing and just their overall business plan and really great guys, and they set us up with some beers to try and including this one, and I mentioned what it was and Mario was instantly like, yeah, not gonna happen. Yeah, well the other because you know, he was just not a fan of that beer, right, And I'm skeptical too, But that's okay, because you know

what, that's like everything. We were not supposed to like everything. But the other thing I noticed is, you know, you got an invite and I didn't. And let that, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between Mike one and Mike two. All Right, So now you understand that's why you make the big bucks. I mean, they did tell me in the email, Hey, you're invited, not Chad, not chat. Yeah,

they didn't say that anyway. Well, hey, guess what, I've got your crawler and I'm gonna go ahead and drink some but this is the surf side. Coolah k o o la kola. And it's a fruit is smoothie sour fermented with pineapple, mango, bananas, orange limes, passion fruit, and horseshoes. I mean no, sound like lucky charms there for a second. Wow, vanilla sweet and tangy. Wow, and a crushable ABV at only five percent. So I'm gonna crack open this crowler, which all right,

nice, here we go. Oh wow, wow wow. The aroma on that Hello, Hey, I'm gonna pour a little heavy, you know why because it's thirty two ounces and I got all the there's a lot of let's just say it looks like it's the first time I've ever poured a beer alcohol av Yeah. Oh wow, big nose. Actually, it has a hoppy nose to it. I know you don't want any boro but and and and they call it a smoothie. But I'm looking. I expected it to be thick and slushy and not at all. Oh. I like that.

It's got some tartness to it, very targh. Wow. Yeah, that's way different than what I expected. They call it a smoothie. It doesn't have that milkshake lactose characteristic to it at all. In fact, it's much more tart and refreshing. Yeah, this is a crushable. This is a pool side beer. What it is called surf side kola. Yeah, this is good. Again. Fruit is SMOOTHI sour fermenta with pineapple, mango, banana, orange, lime, passion, fruit and vanilla, sweet and tangy

beachside chiller with a crushable avv at again five percent alcohol by volume. It does contain lactose. I guess see it says lactose, but you don't know. Lactose adds a little bit of creaminess and sweet sweetness to it. This here to me, this is just me my take on it. It's a hybrid of like a tropical ipa of fruited ipa and a Berlin or vice or a goza. Yeah, it's got a little bit of tardness, but you

definitely get the sweetness of the fruits. But it's not that overpowers your palate like a lot of smoothies do. Yeah, there's that small Okay, So all right, so I think the crawler may have settled a little bit because

look at my I got the bottom. Yeah. Yeah, so when you get those crawlers, don't be afraid to tip them upside down a little bit and let it some of that suspension or some of the proteins in the yeast and maybe even some of that lactose that settle out in the bottom get back into the beer, because I think I've got a very different beer drinking experience.

And the other three in studio, Well, if you're going out to Space Cowboys game in the twenty twenty four season, if they're open, it is a great place to a pregame post game, and you can even probably watch the game while you're there. But it's gonna be a really cool spot and real excited for them. As soon as they, you know, have more developments, we'll get out there. They're gonna bite us when they have their inte you so, and Ronnie I real quick. I know we got

to get to some things here. I want to talk about paternity tests because that that's something we talk about a lot on this show. In case you missed mord Povich, you've got what's on tap radio. Well, this is actually going to help some people that have drinking problems. There are people out there that have some kind of drinking issues and thanks to Sweden, they got to figure it out on how you can curb that drinking habits of yours.

So there's an increasing emphasis on paternity leave that puts has a lot of benefits. Men who take leave are more likely to have better relationships with their children and their partner, and a boost their mental health. So if you take some paternity leave, well after you have a baby from work. But there's also this praternity leave I say paternity test. Its paternity leave, praternity leave not paternity test. We are firing that proof reader. Anyways, praternity leave

keeps men from drinking too much. Praternity leave well, yeah, I mean that's a good thing because I would hate to think that. All right, I'm taking time off of work. I'm gonna go home, spend time with a kid. Let's start hammering back some beers. Yeah. A new study out of Sweden found that new fathers who take paternity have a significantly reduced risk

of being hospitalized due to alcohol consumption. And the idea that is more than more time dad spend accumulating, can't talk acclimating inclimating to child rearing rather than struggling simultaneously juggle to work in parenting you know, the people that are trying to figure out both, they tend to likely don't turn to alcohol as much as a crutch. This is interesting because it's not that they drink less,

it's that they're less likely to be admitted to a hospital for alcoholism. That's elite, I'm guessing, because there's your time is so busy now that you're pampering a baby that you don't have time to consume alcohol. But in Sweden, parents can use up to four hundred and eighty days of job protected paid leave universal health care. There three ninety days. I said, we were getting political. It is. It is universal health care. I mean,

it is what it is. Three hundred ninety days were reimbursed around eighty percent of parents income, while the other ninety percent paid at universal flat rates. And in the US, there's no federal law guaranteeing paid printal lead, but several individual states do, including California, New Jersey, and New York. So praternity leave actually helps new dads from drinking too much to be admitted to

the hospital. Yeah, that's some weird statistics. So they're sitting there and they're keeping it all right, all right, let's let's monitor the statistics on how many parents take parental leave and get admitted for alcoholism. So on the one sheet it talked about paternity test. Yeah, fire that producer, it's paternity leave. I've been teasing this paternity test. But on the one sheet says paternity test. But the story says pratney leave helps keep dads from drinking

too much. So if you're gonna, you know, curve that out that drinking, have a kid. All right, fairly to stay's marriages and alcohol consumption parent to some studies. All right, next hour, we got a hold my beer and watched this and we're getting political. Yeah, it's gonna make some people mad. What's okay, we'll be right back. Today we are heroes, heroes who rescued some beer that was trapped in a bottle. This is what's on tap radio. All right? I remember two what's on

tap radio starts right now. Teasing our producer here and right because I kept teasing. Hey, we're talking about paternity test's paternity leave. That happens. This is what happens when you start typing up the notes in Microsoft word gives you the auto the auto film. I hate when that happens, Like you'll text somebody and you don't proof free before you send it, and then you read it afterwards. Like, that's not what I was trying to say.

Never once, never, once have I ever said I don't give a duck. Not once. Oh man, But we've got a lot of tap this hour. We're gonna get political this hour. We're what's gonna happen. No, mom, I don't texts that to people, not no nobody. I'm just making a point. I'm making a point I probably have. But we have a guest audience in studio. We have some stunt beer livers. We love love having them. We got Super Mario and Brian holes in. In

the first hour, we cracked many beers. But the thing is we're responsibly. We are because it we're splitting as up everything. Yeah, I mean we're basically getting a few. Yeah, I probably getting about two ounces per per a can or what so forth. But James twelve divided by four is three three. Just trying to help you. You got to remember that some people are getting a little more poors. Well that's the stunt beer livers.

That's their job, right. We have to stay responsible. We do we do, we do so uh last segment, we tapped the tally herd. Yeah that was a nice that was a pleasant surprise. The serf side. Cool. Do you like it? Mario? You told me that you weren't a big fan of the smoothies, But what do you think? Like you like it? I gotta tell you, I actually really enjoyed that. I did too. He came around, because I'm the same way, Mario. I'm gonna say, like I see smoothie, I'm just like, you know,

here we go. I thought it was gonna be all slushy, and that one went hokey pokey on me and it turned me around. Oh wow, Wow, we've actually got in trouble on this show for saying some things about, you know, different smoothie beers. But yeah, well you're not supposed to like every beer you crack open. And I don't like to use that as a segway for the next beer that we're gonna open. But oh well, here we go. So I managed to make a stop by Franken

Boltsbury, and I don't think I've had anything from them. We've never had Franken Boltsbury on the show. Go ahead and he he listens to the show Chuck Boltz dropped that bottle cap. Right, there is the name Chuck Bolts. It is How cool of a name is that? Is he a wrestler? He could be? No, seriously, I mean it's a wrestler's name, right. He's a gentleman. Boys and girls, kids of all ages,

Chuck bowl I was thinking more like this. In this corner from Montgomery, Texas, six foot four, two hundred and seventy pound brewer wrestler, Chuck bolt and in this corner a brown bear, and he would win. Chuck Boltz would take the bear. Oh no, that bear out of that one that SI MIC on the air. I think Chuck could. I think Chuck could take him. But anyway, I stopped buying. Chuck says, here, gra grab a four pack of this, so I brought it to

the show. It's YPW premium. Now you know what I've said. I've said this before, Chuck. I'm not picking on you, but if it says premium on the label, it generally means it's not okay, it's a mass produced I'm sorry. Just if it's premium, you don't have to put premium on the label. But here it is. You know you want to put car and T on the box. That's right, A four point six percent uh this box right, my market guaranteed. Yeah, that's what you

want, all right. So this is his version of My understanding is is this is his light light beer. So this is his version of kind of just like the mass produced Lighthilsner gotcha all right, and I got my nose down in there so far we thought no, no, no, it's alright, old Breddy. It's a little ready. Yeah, but go ahead, and you hold my beer and watch this brought to you by the ring alda ten hacen insurance group where they'll cover you for just about everything except this.

All right, Mario, just for me some of this. I don't let that sit for a second. Yeah, I do the hold my beer and watch this. Stories out of Pennsylvania, you know, we got this story about the bear swiping Mic on the ass as Michael was trying to keep the bear out gold. It is so good. You watch it. It's on our social media. Go to our social media on Facebook at What's on Top

Radio. But a man operating a farm vehicle in Pennsylvania was arrested and accused of driving under the influence just seventeen minutes after he was released from custody for the very same thing. I just can't kick him in. It's a monkey.

I kick it off my back. The drivers, identified as a forty nine year old man from Lancaster, was first taken into custody on the evening of September sixteenth, after Pennsylvania State Police had tried to he tried to flee the scene of a crash in his nineteen seventy four International Harvester four thousand series. He's on a tractor. According to the crash report, the International Harvester in a twenty eleven Toyota Raft four were at a stop sign when the farm

vehicle backed into the suv and tried to leave the area. The slow speed pursuit ended. The driver of the Raft four followed behind, hawking and trying to get the tractor operator's attention, police said, and the driver of the tractor later admitted to police that he had been drinking before getting behind the wheel. Authority said the suspect was arrested, processed, and released, but he didn't give officers much time to miss him because approximately seventeen minutes later after being

released from custody, this is where the story is interesting. It says the actor was found to be operating a tractor yet again on the roadway and was placed into custody for a second DUI. Okay actor, Yeah, I think that's British for suspect. By the way, I'm totally making that up. I don't know, but just go with it, okay. Uh. Pennsylvania police in Lancaster are investigating nobody inside the raft for including a two year old

passenger, report any injuries after the crash. The vehicle did have moderate damage to the front end, according to the incident reports. So yeah, basically, this guy was at what stopped and then reversed. I have personally seen this happen. It was the oddust saying I was in college and I was light and it was about eleven o'clock at night. It was me and the right lane and then two cars in the left hand turning lane and the car

in the front and the left hand turning lane. All of a sudden, just put it in reverse and boom into the car behind him out of nowhere. That was on an episode of Beverly Hills nine oh two one to oh lady would back up at a stop site find a or at a stoplight, if the person behind him was distracted and then claimed that they came forward and gave him whiplash, is that what it is? You know what that might have been the case because obviously this before dash Camas was back in the early

two thousands. But you're hold my beer and watched this man running a farm vehicle arrested for a second to UI seventeen minutes after the release from his first UI. You're being dropped from coverage, ringing all the ten hak in line one. I'm just saying, this guy is not being covered. No,

be careful out there, folks in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. All right, that's been your whole my beer and watched this SOTD of com We're gonna make some people upset when we get political on this show, just saying what's on tap radio? We'll be right back. Beer has hops, hops or plants. Plants make salad, so beer is salad. Yeah, what's on tap radio? James and Chad talking about beer. 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. All right, still got a lot to get to. Got a Palethora beer is open here. We're not stopping now, James. We've got stunt beer livers in studio with that. We're not going to stop it. I'm just saying that we haven't gotten to this Franken Boltz beer. I mean, we talked a little bit about it, the yp W premium four point six percent alcohol by volume premium.

Now we know what that means. You're over compensating, Chuck. No, I'm just kidding. But everybody does it. Everybody does it on their lighter beers. They call them premium loggers or premium ales or whatever. But here's the thing about this, right, I'm just gonna say right now, we talked about it during break. We don't know what it wants to be. It's like a Frankenstein of beer, Like it kind of wants to be a blonde aale and it kind of wants to be a colsh Yeah, like

it doesn't there's a lot of straw notes to it. Yeah, we didn't hate it, No, you know, we didn't spit out. We're gonna finish it, and I mean it. I don't know that I would order it again. Now, Mario was saying, they have a lot of great beer. That's the crazy. So here's the thing. They have a black I pa, oh my goodness. If they had that, that was going to be on the show. Yeah. I love the dark aale. Yes, but they had a ninety shillings Scottish sale. Delicious there. They're red

ale was delicious there. Lest we forget the pumpkin beer, which was phenomenal, really nice representation. Speaking of pumpkin beer, rumor has it that we're gonna end the show on a pumpkin beer. I heard a rumor. Well it's you know again, in that time year, we're gonna start cracking those pumpkin beers. They're starting to be released, you know what. I'm starting to see, starting to see those october Fest marsans getting moved aside a little

bit, and those pumpkin beers are being replaced on those shelves. Oh, Pumpkin's coming in and taking over move Yeah. Yeah, the God is coming. So this is the yp W Premium from Franken Boltsbury Montgomery Texas. I can speak firsthand. I was there, very very very great experience. They're drinking. Their beers were really solid. This one here it's good. I mean, it's it's it's drinkable, it's d I don't I wouldn't. I wouldn't drain port or anything stupid like that. I finished it, ID,

I didn't finish it. Yeah, but I would be interested in trying some other beers from them though. Oh they got some good stuff from uh what Mario was saying? But uh, Mario speaking of drinking two thousand beers because Mario is he's a celebrity. Well, Mario, get on that mic right there. How many beers have you had at the backyard Grill on my thirty first plaque? So roughly two thousand, nineteen hundred and some change. Now, did you do it in two hundred days that I did that? Okay,

you didn't even do it in one year. You're a lot smarter some TikToker out there, oh man. But uh, it's very impressive. He's gotten. He's been on national TV shows for his wall of fame he has at the backyard Grill. That is right. Yeah, we've recognized Mario. He's been recognized on social media and he's been recognized on yep. Yeah, autograph signs and everything. And the man just supports local business. He supports local breweries. The guy goes out and a little known fact about the guy.

But ironically, as we just come out of the hold my beer and watch this segment brought to you by Ringing all the ten Hacen Insurance of West Michigan. Yeah, he also takes photographs of courthouses. Really interesting. That's a hobby. Is he travels around and he photographs. I mean especially there are a lot of cool and like especially the towns have squares. Goliad has a really cool courthouse. Oh you don't need to tell him. I guarantee

he's been there, you know. Also didn't didn't Texas? They have a really great courthouse as well, a lot of people take pictures over there. They We've I've taken pictures with my family at the courthouse in uh didn't Texas? So interesting fun fact about you there at Mario. I do not know that. By the way, there's somebody doing a study right now and they're now they're now proclaiming that taking photographs of courthouse is while visiting breweries is stranger

than showering with your cat. Okay, so that's it. That's an odd one for me though, at tires. So you have all these plaques over at the backyard girl, Now do you also do have the flying saucer or is it just a backyard grill thing? Not just a backyard grill as far as the well, yeah, that's the only active one. Now. Yes, I have a flying saucer as well. But honestly, most of my beer lately, and I say lately over the past six seven years has been

breweries. So I've hit easily over three hundred of the change is daily. But there's four hundred and fifty two active breweries in Texas. I've been over three hundred of them. It's incredible. I follow him on his social media and I know, I mean, he's out and about supporting small businesses and I appreciate that and flowd you for that. It's flying around like a multi falcon. But cha, Chad is a plate over at the flying saucer.

I do downtown Houston. I do. How many beers do you have to have to have a two hundred two hundred, Yeah, two hundred, not two thou did you in two hundred days. No, I did about three and a half years. Okay, so let's there's a reason why we're talking. We're yeah, we're setting this up here because uh and and again coming out of the hold my beer and watch this segment. There was one time where James and I looked at each other. We said, what do you

want to name this? And James had the best name. He says, let's call it the ass clown of the Week. And then our sponsors went, can we call it something different because we're writing you a check? And I'm like, yes, we can do it. And hold my beer and watch this was bored. That's exactly exactly, that's true. Story, that's true. By the way, you know you know who that was. That was Kip. That was Galaxy Julius name drop Kip. All right, there

we go. Well out of the United Kingdom, there is a guy who is a TikToker who believes that the most UK thing you can do is ruin your liver. Oh yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and pass judgment on this guy, John May, who's twenty five years old. By the way, ladies, I've said this before. We men, we grow up eventually, and John May he might not because he's twenty five. He might not make He may not make it the twenty six because I've seen people live stream and

take photos of their beers all the time. And you know some people say, oh my gosh, all you do is drink beer. Well, John May of the United Kingdom, he says, you know what, I heard a rumor that there was a guy who wanted to consume one thousand pints in a year. What does he say, Ah, that's easy, I'll double that. But why do two thousand pints in a year when you can do two thousand pints in two hundred days? Oh my god. Yes, this guy he keeps a detailed record of all the beers he drinks. He live

streams every single one of them. But if you're doing the math at home, and we are not a show about math ladies and gentlemen, that is ten pints a day. Yeah, yes, Now, when you consider that Europe's heaviest drinkers drink about four hundred pints of beer in a year, this guy wants to do five, five times that in one hundred and sixty five fewer days. Hello yep, And he says, oh, well, you know, I think I'm gonna go and tackle this. And somebody asked him,

well, what about hangovers? And his answer sounded like a typical twenty five year old. Sorry, if you're twenty five and you're listening, I'm sorry, But I was twenty five once and I remember saying stupid stuff like this and says, I'm too young for hangovers. But with a British accident, I don't want to try and do that. But he's up too young for hangovers. And you can't get hungover unless you're sober. Anyway, I don't even know what that means, you can't get hungover. I guess that

means he's gonna be drunk all the time. Yeah, basically, yeah, so never mind the financial consequences. But by the way, this guy's not gonna end up on a liver transplant list. Okay, let's just say that. And I think we actually have some audio. Yeah, here's what I'm explaining, just why he is doing this. Quest asked a few times, why am I drinking two thousand points in a year? Because why not?

Someone asked someone else to prop up the UK accorn. No they don't, No, they don't, And I thought the best way I can try and give some money for the UK economy is to drink a lot of alcohol. I mean I will give him that. I mean helping out boost the economy. You know, like Mario's going out to these breweries and helping these small, independent crap breweries by you know, he's doing it one pint at a time. This guy's doing ten pints at a time. But he's going out

there and basically saying, why not. Someone's got to do it. No, no, nobody heres to do it. There's nobody standing around saying, damn it, who's gonna come save us? And they're looking up and it's not like they look at the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane. It's it's the drug guy John May who's twenty five and gonna ruin his liver from the United Kings. There's nobody looking to be saved in this equation

here. I feel like this is me just getting older. But I just the fact that he just doesn't care whatsoever about his body, and just because people keep thinking that, like, hey, think about your liver, and he's like, ah, screw that, that's idiotic. All right, Well, I'm gonna get controversial here, ladies. He's probably single, and he probably has a life insurance policy, So go ahead and hook up. You know. So there's a guy out there who's uh, has a plan of

drinking. Sorry, I think he's. Yeah, this guy's I'm not a fan, so dumb, not a fan. Hey, at least he's out there supporting people. But again, I don't know if he's gonna live much longer than twenty six or twenty seven. But there you go. All right, we gotta take a break. We're gonna get political. I still gotta. I mean, people keep telling him, James, just do it already. All right, it's coming, it's coming. If you encounter wine snobs, just take a full class of wine and put it to your ear.

Mindes will be blown. This is what's on tap radio. Then it's no surprise. I love, love, love this time of year, so secret, no surprise. The crisp in the air, football playoff, Baseball, October Fest, start of hockey season, that too, chat you God stepped on me, man, I was gonna build that up. Oh sorry, it was definitely the start of hockey season. You hate hockey. I don't hate it, I just you like hockey. As much as I like baseball. Well, okay, I grew up in the South, which hockey is

not a popular and I grew up in Borderline, Canada. Yeah, but there's a lot of baseball going on up there, and we have the Tigers and the Tigers, I love the Red Wings. But yeah, I know hockey is a hey, welcome back to all the hockey fans. But no, it's also I'll tell you, guys daring to break that the Marsins are kind of they're saying goodbye. They're migrating like the geese. They are they are and replacing them pumpkin pumpkin beers. Yeah, the pumpkin beers here they

are. And we got a listener email and that's at What's on tap Rido gmail dot com. They asked me, you know, hey, James, you know you always wait tell labored Ay to drink Marsans when you start drinking pumpkin beers. And I said, I'll drink it, but whatever. I know when I started drinking pumpkin beers, when stunt beer livers say hey, I brought a pumpkin beer in studio, and then I'm like, all right, open it up. Well, yeah, Brian holds into here, super

marios here hanging outs and this is a treat. This is a treat because usually it's just me and my thoughts and that's never a good thing. But in here to studio ass but a lot of good beers. And I feel like I've had maybe just a little less than a beer because we're sampling. We are, we are, And we finished this Franken Boltz the p no yp wypw premium four point six percent alcoholic volume. Although I'm still consuming the surfside koola. Yeah, that's a that's a more of a sipper. Yeah,

even though it's refreshing and it's crushable. We're not in the pool. It's not if it was ninety degrees when we were in the pool, that would have been gone. I'm not the shower either, weirdo, what are you so sort of freak? Or there's some study that it's more unusual to drink beer in a shower than is to take a shower with your pet. That is the dumbest thing I've heard. Oh my gosh. We've talked about some dumb stuff on this show. That's the dumbest, you know. We've

also talked a lot about on the show beer promotions, bar promotions. Oh that I love this. A lot of bar promotions they go well and they don't. And lately we've been on a kick here because lately James has been finding a lot of bear stories and we've got another bear story. It is my favorite thing. And we are going to peace. We are going to do this. I've talked to the producers. We're going to peace all of

the bear stories all together so they'll make sense. But it all started at a party in Pennsylvania or a guy named Mike, And the video is posted to our social media is at What's on Tapbrido Facebook where you can see this video of Mike casually going get out, talking to it like it's a dog. Hey, hey, it's a grown ass bear. Bear. You need to leave. You were not invited to this party, making the lady's uncomfortable. Time to go, and he goes and he opens the gate and then

the bear just gives him a swab. The bear looks at him, He's like, you're telling me your like you're kicking me out is what you want to do? I'm gonna punch you on the way out. You sure this is a decision? You want to make Mike? You sure, Mike, Okay, I'm gonna give you one more chance. What you want to do. I'm leaving, but you're gonna get it. Okay, okay, okay, y'all are my witness there. I tried to talk to and play with Mike and then bam, he gets swatted and and Mike doesn't even flinch,

which means he's hammered. He's so hammered. And the bear walks out the gate and he closes the gate, and then he lifts up his shirt and the claw marks down the side of him, like, oh my gosh, and Mike didn't even flinch. I mean, you probably woke up the next guy going, dude, what happened on my side? Oh? You want to see the video, dude, It's already got a million views on TikTok right now. Yeah, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you another bear

story where somebody flinched. And the guy who flinched mister Chris Jackson. He is the owner of the Klatta Ring Pub in Lincoln Square, which is an Illinois bar. Look, I give him a run of applause, just for you know, a creative promotion well, yeah, sometimes you win and sometimes you do sometimes. Yeah, Mac, Well we know a little bit about this with Mattress Mac. But Mattress Mack here in Houston, he takes out an insurance policy because he's a he's our genius. I don't know that.

I think he's got a gambling problem. I don't know that Chris Jackson took out an insurance policy, but if he did. But anyway, he heard about a Milwaukee bar's offer to pick up the tab on any time that the New York Jets lose. Whenever Aaron Rodgers, the former Green Bay Packers quarterback, was starting. It's like, if the Jets lose and Aaron Rodgers is

in the game, I'm picking up your tab. And he's like, I gonna take this a step further because the Bears had lost thirteen straight games going back to the last season, and he says, I guarantee you that the Bears will win this week, and if they don't, I'm picking up your tabs. Ouch, that's a dangerous I mean, it's a dangerous bet to make. But here's the crazy thing. The Bears had a three touchdown lead against the Denver Broncos and in true Michigan State Spartan Fashion Buffalo bills. Oh

my gosh, they managed to lose by three points. I'll never forget that game. Oilers thought they had that one, didn't they They lock on the bills. They loss to the Broncos twenty eight to thirty one, and the owner had to pick up the tab, which cost him over five thousand. I'm about saying, there's only four people in the bar now. Everybody's like, if if we win, we're celebrating and it's worth spending all the money here. If we lose, it's free and we're gonna need to have all

of this beer in us. And that's what happened. So the pub owner, he says, you know what, not even that worried about it because the free exposure. I know they're going to talk about it on What's on Tap radio and that is going to boost my customer business. Here we are, and that's what he said. Well, I paraphrase a little bit. I guess they didn't win that game. I know they did. They lost by three. Yeah. So the Claudat Ring Pub and by the way,

I plan on stopping the next time I'm over there. In the Chicago Land area, there's a few bars in Chicago you got to stop buy there's the one with the Ham sign. Yes that they were forced to take the Ham sign down because I guess the the story they hre. No, it wasn't the h o A. It was a city ordinance. Yeah, it was like, I'm sorry, but your signs big to be promoting alcohol. It's

the sign's been here for eighty years. Do you think we have teenage alcoholics running around with an eighty year old Ham signed and you're now gonna solve the problem. No, that's not the case. I actually had the owner on. It was a really cool interview. Yeah, they had to sign up since nineteen fifty something, and all of a sudden the city told him to take it down. And then they got a petition going yeah and so many signatures and finally they're like the city was like, all right, you guys,

you guys win. So yep, all right, I love it. So anyway, speaking of things that I love, Brian Holsen KPRC he got the Q. Yeah, so he opened up a special Mario. We're officially switching from Marsins to Pumpkin Beers on this episode. This is happening, right, now you're witnessing this. This is what's on tap radio history right here, twenty twenty three. It's like a transition. It's like when the time changes, you know, set your clocks back. Yeah, we set our

clocks forward. Are back. I get we want to fall I know you'll fall back, but we're not falling back on a pumpkin beers. Well we are because Brian, what year is this one? Yeah? What year is this one? Sixteen Pumpkinator. Yeah, we're falling back. We're definitely falling back. I mean the beer is seven years old. Oh my god, I did math really fast. Okay, So Pumpkinator has just been released from center O Brewing Company. He's going to say, let people know what this

is. They have the twenty twenty three Pumpkinator, which is a World Beer Cup winner. This is and a GABF winner and a GABF winner. This is an amazing beer. And what I like to do I always do this. I always buy two Mario. I buy two Pumpkinators, one for this year and one for next year. And then what I'll do the next year is I will buy a Pumpkinator and then do a vertical and see in a year, how the spices have dropped, right, how they build it out

and you can really tell a difference in a year. But I have not had a twenty sixteen in a long time. So let's take a sip at this. Oh, this is a it's fantastic. Normally I would say a seven year old beer is way past its peak, and it's oh, no, beautiful, this is this is one of the best I've ever had. It's a milder. It's cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, typically what you find in pumpkin style beers. Now, okay, there's a law more beer.

There's a pumpkin. There's not pumpkin in a pumpkin beer. Surprised to no, there's not. I don't want to have brusher bowl. Yeah, punkins don't have taste, they really don't. Now, just so people know what we're talking about here, this is a This is an imperial stout, isn't it not. I think it's a porter. Is a porter, Imperial porter? Porter? No, it's it says right on the bottom, right there, it says Imperial pumpkin stout. Yes, thank you, it's an imperial

pumpkin stout. So I mean this is like eleven percent reading hard. Yeah, I know the Imperial pumpkin stout, James putting the duh and reading is fun, dub mental okay, eleven percent ABV twenty sixteen, Yeah, what's ABV eleven? Yeah, okay, so take you to eleven. This is this is delicious. They killed it and this is why they win awards. And also again saint Or Brewing Company, was it mid sized brewery or yeah?

In the last segment, I'm gonna put a warning out there that I'm probably gonna upset a few people because we are in the first time in this show history, we're gonna get political, and we're gonna take a stance we are, and it's probably gonn upset some folks, and I'm sorry, this is just what it's gonna be. Deal with it. We'll talk about it. Last segment. We'll be right back. Craft beer, it's not alcoholism, it's a hobby. This is what's on tap

And this has been a fun show where we got to crack open a lot of different beers because we have stunt beer livers, super Mario here byg Brian Holsen, KPRC. Everybody's in here and we're you know, it's kind of kind of feels like we got the four man team back together and immediately can the weather Man's going, hey, wait a minute, we did we

did. We did. Plug our buddy, Justine Sapleton, he has a show on KPRC where he goes around breweries and doing a great job, and Brian goes around with them. They're fantastic and doing filming. It's it's awesome. I love it. I love anybody going out there and promoting of course talking about Super Mario going out to all the breweries and promoting and helping with those guys. But they're doing it responsibly. They're not doing two thousand beers

in two hundred days, like one idiot in the United Kingdom. Also, you know, just a little a little shout out to uh West Michigan, you know, beer City USA. Maybe an opportunity there, just saying, you know, Houston's doing it, Mario's doing it, just saying, if you're gonna call yourself beer city, let's do it. Let's uh, let's get some more exposure for these breweries. Let's do it. And is it time to get political? It is? And I see James and I we

talked about this. There was a story that we talked about. We never really decided whether or not we were gonna go to the show with it. I've got the story. I'm just gonna give you the highlights. And and James says, no, not that story. The other story. I'm like, no, I thought we were gonna do both. No, no, no, I'm gonna mention this one here. So you may remember a while back we talked about UH Texas brewery that got involved with booking an event.

In fact, it happened twice. It happened at No Label Brewing Company. Whenever a it was it Betto showed up there and he rented the brewery and everybody's like, oh, no, label's gone. You're always gonna upset one somebody of the party, like you have. It's like, wait a minute, we just rented the brewery to somebody. It's not like we took a political stance. Well, another brewery, Southern Starboard Company up in Conro, Texas, they had a pro Second Amendment event that they rented. It's not

like they were having a pro Second Amendmary event. It was somebody else who rented the brewery and Kyle Rittenhouse showed up, and of course it created all kinds of controversy. And there it was. Well there was another one, another brewery, and I'm not even going to get into it, but they had a pro life and Pints event and it's like, whoa, you know that's gonna upset somebody. And they canceled the event. And now of course you can't win. It's like you hosted it and you lose, you cancel

it, you lose. Well, very very political beer gets very very political, and it shouldn't until now. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. It's we've been doing the show for ten years. It's time time people are asking us say, hey, guys, I know you don't get too political, but we can tell where you are. We're gonna make a stand right now, We're gonna do it. I'm just maybe it's just all the beers that we've had this eleven percent. No, No, we made this decision when

we got the story. But if you're not loving the choices for the next election, well we have your solution. Right. This is your candidate right now. This is who you're gonna want to vote for. Right, listen up, right now, write this down. You're gonna want to vote for beer? Amen instead? All right, Vienna, Austria has a big election coming up in twenty twenty five to seat a bunch of new council members, and I'm supporting. I'm throwing my support behind this party. Oh amen.

We all are the group. It's called the Beer Party. I love it, love it, and it's rising in the polls after offering free beer for all. Yes, all right. You know some people they like to say we want to chicken in every pot. No, we want to keg in every living room. Right there, baby, the party, this is what we want. I'm telling you. The party launch almost a decade ago as a joe, but currently it's polling at twelve percent, which would be good

enough for third place. Let's start though, all right, it's a start, but after this episode airs, we know how you're voting. In fact, some people is people are moving to Austria right now. You're gonna want to vote for these guys. The way the Austrian elections work, this wouldn't mean that around a dozen members of the party would get elected. So here's some of their campaign promises from this beer party. Ready for this one,

Brian Mario, everybody out there and what's on tap radio land? One free keg per month for every adult in Vienna who kids get a half a keg? Kids get a half a gag. I tell if you had, if you took paternity leave, that you would drink less. Well, you're allowed to drink at sixteen in Austria, or maybe the parents deserve a little extra. I don't know, but tell you I'm on board behind this. This is great, okay, all right? Uh? Number two on their list

eliminate tax on beer served at bars. Yes, and to make up that revenue, they want to up to taxes on various mixed drinks as they see inferiors to beer. Oh you know, all the mixed cocktails, So raise the taxes on the mixed cocktails to lower the taxes on the beer. People who know me are saying, Chad, you still stand behind that party. Yeah, yeah, for now, I'll work on that last one. Well, you know, there are some things every party flaws they do. I

can't agree with one percent. All right, all right, this one is allow bars to stay up at twenty four to seven. Yes, I love it. So that's a little dangerous, but hey, there are no It's no more dangerous than drinking two thousand pints in two hundred days. So apparently in Vienna they had this iconic fountain. They want to replace that fountain to that one that sprays beer instead of water. Oh you know, you know there's gonna be a brewery fighting. They're gonna be like, we'll brew it.

We'll brew it for free, dude, just give us, let us have the naming rights. Now, this election isn't for another two years, but it feels hell today they'd win. That's two years to build momentum behind this cause they'd win. That is fantastic. So there's a beer party in Austria. It's rising in the polls. That's promising. Free beer for all. Now listen. I know that we don't like to get political because we don't want to upset the other half, but we're doing it this week.

Somebody's upset. Where's gonna be somebody out there like, wow, never listen to that show. We literally endorsed a party that wants you to have a free keg every month. What was that guy's name, Oh man from like twenty twelve, I represent their taxes are too damn high party? Remember that guy? If I had that sound Cliff ready, man, I wish i'd oh that would be great. But yeah, there you go. We are throwing our support behind the Austria's Beer Party that's offering a lot of great,

great amenities, including a free keg I like every month. I like the bars. Yeah, the bar is staying open twenty four hours a day because I mean, let's just be honest. I mean, is it the bar that's causing the problem, or is it that you have a problem? Yeah? What about the third shifters? Right? Thank you? What about those that work at the factories, Yep, they get off at you know, two in the morning, or maybe have seven am, seven am. Those

hospital workers, Yeah, that are working twelve to get done. I want to go. I want to have a couple of pints and then I'm gonna go home at nine am, after all the kids are in school and the buses are off the road. I'm gonna go and I'm gonna take a nap. Yeah, yeah, why not? Hey, if you vote for this party, things could be going that way. So all right, we got to spit a bone in the show. I want to thank Mario and Brian

for hanging out in studio. It's been a pleasure. Also, while we're thanking some folks, let's thank our sponsors at being Tangent Brewing, Superior Pest Control, Bido Logical Conference and Events, and we know a TENAKA insurance group the Backyard Grill of course sponsoring our podcast cast branding. So for super Mario, Brian Holsen and Bide Logic Chap, He'll be my bruger Jameson saying thank
