I let the wife join me.. Gee Thanks Matt

Ok Just kidding Matt we had a good time together. In case you are wondering who Matt is just click on his Pod cast in the links bar.. Yeast Slurry... Nice guy and a good cast about Beer.
Ok so this week the Wife actually took part in the pub cast. So you can all let me know what you think of it. I have been trying to get her on here since the start of this thing.. I like having her around when I go do beer things. She is pretty knowledgeable about beer and that always surprises people..

Kind of like.. "A woman knows about beer .. who'd a thunk it?.." LOL

any way.. This week I talk about Rock Bottom beers that I tried and some new acquisitions.. Though I forgot one... I pick up a Goose Island Bourbon County Aged Beer. Man is it good. its kicking my butt right now as I type this :P The others were Kilt Lifter by Moylans. A very good Scotch Wee Heavy beer. It smooth and creamy and I bet if you had enough you'd lift a kilt or two...

Old Horizontal Barley wine style beer from Victory.. another heady beer with a good kick in it. I guess the cold weather brought out the high ABV in me. It was -5 F when I got up today so I need that little nip to keep me going. Also I had a Hop Wallop by Victory.. was not real impressed by it but I'll try it again. Never give up on a beer after the first tasting. If it is a decent beer that is. Coors Light yeah you can pass it by.

Speaking of yellow piss water Miller is releasing MGD 64 which is their answer to Mich ultra.

Yeah here is a can of water with a beer waved over it..


Ok that aside I also talked about how to get into the craft beer realm. I think there are some good craft packs out there to get people started. Here is a short list of what I think might get people into good beer
Red Hook Beers
Yuengling
JW Dundee's
Leinekugels
Berghoff
Guinness
I add the last one because you can get it everywhere and its not a bad beer.

Classic show... awesome..

I had to turn it off at work I was laughing so hard. Way to mic up the wife, she was great. She has a great radio voice too.

Great discussion on "gateway" beers too.

Thanks for listening.. We had a good time..

I've listend to some pobcasts and beer blogs and not really heard much about gateway beers. I know most are far beyond that but a refreshed isn't a bad idea I think
