Gina is back with another local beer, crafted to reduce gluten. It's the Keep It Citra IPA from Burgeon Beer Co. out of Carlsbad, CA. This beer is part of the Keep It rotating series that comes out seasonally.  

Believing that San Diego brews great IPAs, would make you Agreeable Folk. Right? In this episode of Backyard Beer Tastings, Toby sips on a very tasty beer from Societe Brewing - almost a stone's throw from his house.

Two beer reviews for the price of one?  You betcha!  In this episode, Tony is joined by his good friend Eric who is a homebrewer extraordinaire!!  In Part One, we dive into Eric's NE IPA that sits at a drinkable 6.0%.  Then in Part Two, the boys crack open a homebrew from Tony's stash.  His latest is a Blonde Ale called "Summer Breeze" with an abv of 5.5%.  It's a hot one out there so don't forget to hydrate kiddos!! Safety first!!

  Breweries collaborating with bands? Sure. Breweries collaborating with pro skaters? That's new - and pretty cool. Check out Toby's take on the Tony Hawps IPA from Black Plague Brewing. Will he look like a total poseur in front of Tony Hawk? Will he bail the whole review? Or, will he pull off a sick 50-50 grind? Check it out!

  Modern Times is at it again with yet another Hazy IPA: Themisto. This one seems to be slightly less bold than some of the others out there. Toby checks this one out in the comfort of his backyard in San Diego. Leave us some feedback - we'd love to hear from you!

In this, the 37th episode of Backyard Beer Tastings , Toby is out back by the Farmhouse sipping on a Lager. It's a rustic lager from Lost Abbey with plenty of "lager-lageriness". Did we mention that it's a lager?   Toby's hat: https://www.chaskis.us/collections/chaskis-dig-deep-catalog/products/chaskis-trucker-hat-blue

Getting together with friends to share a beer - a BIG beer, mind you - is something we've enjoyed doing our entire drinking career. In this episode of Backyard Beer Tastings, Toby sits down with a few friends to try the Traeblod from Mikkeller San Diego. It's a sweet, mapley, donutty type of a beer that we know you'd enjoy. Thanks for watching and leave a comment if you can. Cheers!

  On episode 34, the weather is FINALLY feeling like Spring time up in New England! I mean, what's better than a cold beer in the Backyard this time of year? How about TWO cold beers!! That's right... Tony in CT is joined by his good buddy, Frank, who just so happens to have the exact same beer!! What are the chances?! Join them as the open the Lasting Brass Steele Brook, a German Pilsner that sits at a crushable 5.5%. Cheers!!

Latitude 33 is on Episode 33 of Backyard Beer Tastings? It's like we planned it! That's right folks, Toby in San Diego is back with a North County brewery's hazy IPA. Vista, California doesn't see much in the way of snow storms, but this Snow Storm has enough cloudiness and chill to (maybe) give San Diegans a hint of what it (may) be like. Comment below - we'd love to get some feedback. Cheers!   Toby's hat: https://www.chaskis.us/products/chaskis-trucker-hat-blue

Alright STOP - collaborate and listen. Toby is back with a brand new fermentation... OK, I'll stop you right there. In this, the 32nd Backyard Beer Tasting, our San Diegan beer lover is checking out a triple IPA from two of his most respected local breweries: Pizza Port and Alesmith. The 3X beer in question? Logical Choice. Enjoy the show and leave us some feedback. Cheers!   Toby's hat: https://www.chaskis.us/products/chaskis-trucker-hat-blue

In this episode of Backyard Beer Tastings, Toby dons a wind breaker for this "nice" Mikkeller SD beer. Windy Hill is a New England-style IPA with plenty of "softness". Leave a comment below.

You cannot escape the fruit in this beer from Alesmith Brewing and Lakewood Brewing. Toby tries this Hazy IPA collaboration between a San Diego brewer and a Texas brewer. Escape Is Fuitile is a wonderful beer, coming in at 7% ABV. Toby really likes it and so should you - if you can find it.

    In this episode of Backyard Beer Tastings, we head out EAST to join Beer Coaster Tony as he enjoys a treat from out WEST (Thanks Toby!). He cracks open Mike Hess Brewing's Grazias, a Vienna Style Cream Ale that pairs perfect with some warm New England weather!  Enjoy the video and leave a comment. Cheers!

  Ladies and Gentlemen... We're off to the races! The Beer Coasters are back and they've been chompin' at the bit! Although this episode was recorded nine months ago, the boys are ready to hit that quarter mile. All three pony's try the Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) from Founders Brewing. Tony saddles up, Once And For Fall, with Five Churches. Mike ends the race with a photo finish of Meat And Potatoes (which probably is the name of a racehorse) from Lord Hobo. Toby hits the Clubhouse Turn with a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Coffee Stout from Lexington Brewing. We want feedback! Please hit us up and welcome us back in the races. Cheers!

In this episode of Backyard Beer Tastings, Toby is joined by long-time fan, Gina. They both check out the Kook Slams IPA from Duck Foot Brewing. It's a 7.5% ABV, West Coast style IPA. Enjoy the video and leave a comment. Cheers!   Toby's hat: https://www.chaskis.us/

  It's been too long, folks! Toby is back with a slightly different spin on the Backyard Beer Tasting series. In this, the 27th episode, Toby tries Star Cloud from Modern Times Brewing. It's an easy-drinking IPA from San Diego with great tone and flavor. Cheers!

It's the age-old question. Religious scholars and historians have pondered this for a millennia: What Would Jesus Drink (WWJD)? Some may have found historical evidence that his beverage of choice was wine. Others believe it was a west coast IPA. In this episode, all three "beer historians" with mountains of credibility, will dig deep into this question while sitting in a Pew Pew at Five Churches. Mike will ask, "Follow Me" if you desire the truth and salvation. Tony, the Zealot, will ask forgiveness while he seeks to help the Lost And Found Toby. "Go forth", Christ said, "and drink my blood, for it was brewed for you".  - Beer Coasters Podcast 334:1:1 

  Beer Coaster Tony has tied the knot with none other than One Sniff Katie. In this episode, we eat, drink and be merry in celebration of the newlyweds. Tony and Katie try beers from Other Half Brewing; Triple Simcoe Daydream and The Dreamiest. Aawww, how cute. Toby believes they make the perfect Duet, while Mike thinks it's A Terrible Idea. Thanks for keeping up with the Coasters as we slowly approach our 10th anniversary. Cheers!

The Summer months are coming to a close, so Toby has decided to check out a stout. A stout with coconut and "natural flavors". The stout in question is The Patsy from Barley Forge Brewing Co. out of Costa Mesa, California. This isn't just any old stout, it's a rye stout. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to check out the other Backyard Beer Tastings episodes - as well as over 320 other full episodes of the Beer Coasters Podcast. Cheers!
