THE ALEHEADS PODCAST: ALL BEERS CONSIDERED #30- ASHEVILLE OR BUST

The boys are back on a historic day in the craft beer revolution as New Belgium finally commits to North Carolina. Then they get drunk and talk about a bunch of really interesting stuff. If you like beer, that is. Stuff like:

☞ New Belgium cements Asheville’s reputation as Beer City USA

☞ Austin Beer Fest is the worst beer fest since Jay Chandrasekhar’s ’06 vehicle Beerfest

☞ Boston Beer Company drops a shandy (not a euphemism)

☞ Heineken officially out of ideas; Launches “Ideas Brewery”

☞ Lagunitas founder Tony Magee has a 250 bbl brewhouse in the pipeline, and possibly some sticky-icky-icky in his pipe

☞ Was Brewmasters really so bad that we can’t have a decent beer show on TV??? WTF, people?

WANNA BE A BREWER? MAYBE IT’S TIME TO VISIT THE SOURCE

I’m right with you, I want to be a brewer too. I’m not saying that I want to put in all the hard work or anything crazy like that, I just want to wake up one morning and blow right past my office to take a spot at a small brewery that I can call […]

SAM ADAMS STONY BROOK RED

Phew, how the hell do you categorize this beer? I’m going with Flanders Red based on the taste profile, but I wouldn’t argue with anyone that wants throw in a Brett category (Wild yeast) or even list this as a fruit beer.
