AND. WE'RE. BACK. It's been about 11 months since our last podcast released, but the people spoke.. all five of them. So we're back to talk some beer and have a good time. For our return we decided to drink some of the best beer in you can find in the cold state of Alaska, from a little brewery called Anchorage Brewing Company. If you've ordered off Tavour you've probably heard of them. We decided to drink four of their offerings and highlight a local brewery in between. Hope you enjoy and Till the Last Drop!

We had this episode in the bank and decided it was time to drop it. We are joined again by Nick Abeyta as Tasting 70 goes to Denver and the great beer scene they have. We drank five beers from five different breweries in Denver, CO and enjoyed some great laughs.

We were joined by our buddy Nick Abeyta and a new guest and friend, Jonathan, to enjoy these delicious offerings. We drank some high ABV beers so the night quickly got out of hand, but we had a great time as usual. Thanks for listening and Till the Last Drop!

Tasting 65 could have gone off the rails quick... and it did. Even with a crew of five, we decided to pop open eight bottles of barleywine and we lost. We welcomed back our buddy Aaron Young and guest from season 1, Irie_viewbrew (AKA Ben). They both brought some fire and great conversation to this episode. We hope we were able to bring some semblance of drunk entertainment at the very least! Thanks for listening and Till the Last Drop!

Tasting 61 belongs to The Silver State. Nevada is best known for Las Vegas, or better yet, Sin City. Well, we made a cardinal sin on this episode and tried to review beers well past their best by date. We contemplated calling this tasting the torture episode because we drank 12 cans of a box we were gifted. We didn't want to toss out the whole episode as we had a fun time recording it with our buddy Casey; but, we couldn't rank every beer knowing they weren't tasted as the breweries intended. Hopefully you find enjoyment in some of our pain. Thanks for listening and Till the Last Drop! Intro and Exit Music provided by bensound.com

If you're not familiar, Uppers and Downers is a reference to the name of a Festival which features coffee and beer, which is exactly what tasting 58 is about! Me and Matt are joined by our friend Jason and returning guest from season 1, Diego, to drink beers that have coffee as an adjunct. We even got to drink a beer that Diego helped pick out the coffee for from his coffee shop, Prismatic, located here in Albuquerque, NM.
