The beer podcast for the -Joe Craft Six Pack- guys! Groucho & CHUD yes Groucho groucho@thebeerreport.com TBR Special Edition - Island Beer Show http://www.thebeerreport.com/blog/?p=266 http://www.thebeerreport.com/blog/?p=266#comments Thu, 12 Aug 2010 03:08:24 +0000 groucho http://www.thebeerreport.com/blog/?p=266  Island Beer Show

Groucho went overseas and brought back some contra-band!  All kinds of beer beverages from a brewery on the island.  Also, we were lucky enough to have a Facebook fan, PJ, send us 3 beers from the Maui Brewing company.  It all adds up to over 2 hours of recorded material.  Fortunately Groucho used a chainsaw and ripped this thing down to about an hour!  You’ll hear lots of pop tops between cuts!

Beers on the show:  Malta, Lemon Piton Shandy, Piton & Rooster Select from the Windward and Leeward Brewery, St. Lucia.   Maui Brewing Company’s Bikini Blonde Lager, Big Swell IPA and Coconut Porter.

On the show:

  • Whats a Malta?   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta_(soft_drink)
  • Moll asses!
  • Reefer madness on the island!
  • 30% of Americans smoke dope?  Beer Report fact machine is back at work!
  • German roadtrip?
  • Does Brahma still suck?
  • Rastafarian?  The lost generation of great men?
  • Captain… Oh high my Captain?  Groucho’s cracked rib?  Naked old ladies!  Captain passed out at the rudder.
  • Blended beer?
  • How did people end up on Hawaii
  • Thats not Don Ho!
  • Kevin got bad service at Maui Brewing???
  • Dog the Bounty Hunter…  How hard is it to be a bounty hunter when you have 10 square miles to cover!?
  • Maui’s write up on why they use cans.  Listen up!
  • CHUD doesn’t know his Jobim!
  • CHUD volunteers to run Maui Brewing’s mainland operations if they build in Bloomington IL.
  • The Honey Report?
  • Kill sequence intiated!

Groucho and CHUD just through down a couple of gallons of beer…  Then we decide to cut another show.  Here is what is left!  If we sound ripped…  Would you be shocked?

Beer on the show:  Ale Asylum’s Satisfaction Jacksin.  One more purchase from Groucho’s Winter trip to Wisconsin.

  1. Kudos!  Nearly a CHUD rant!
  2. Texas drinking rules.  Oklahoma is ugly?  Lets not forget slamming Missouri.
  3. Trapped under ice!  Not the Metallica song, just conversation about what to do in Madison Wisconsin when its really cold.
  4. Miami is HOT!

Beer on the show purchases at some unknown grocery store in Wisconsin Dells.

There is no such thing as a bad review!  Unless you are Domino’s.  Taking Domino’s recent ad campaign as idea for a show… We get some help reviewing the reviews for this show on iTunes.

Join us as we have the 3 ladies of The Beer Report on to help bring life to some fantastically poor reviews of the show.  Margaret and Sister Sly read the reviews while AB throws in her 2 cents worth.

Beers on the show:  Victory Brewing’s Wild Devil.

On the show:

  • Bad iTunes reviews read aloud on the show.
  • Contest.
  • Please submit podcast’s for CHUD to review.  “Pud’s Chodcast Review”?
  • AB starts going into convulsions over Philosophy podcast reviews.
  • Happy drunks…  CHUD gets slap happy when he drinks.
  • CHUD changes his tune on the beer after it warms up.
  • The worst of the beer podcasts?
  • Watching beer DVD’s.
  • How does this Hydrometer work?  Our brewing experience.   Groucho and CHUD’s basic brewing techniques.
  • Groucho’s microphone starts to break down by the end of the show… Thus proving the reviews right!  We do not fund our show well enough to get better equipment!
  • Margaret hates her name.

Groucho and CHUD make the big trip from Pekin to check out the newest addition to the local beer scene!

If this show comes off as a shameless promotion for the Destihl in Normal Illinois… Well, we apologize in advance! Matt Potts, the Owner and Head Brewer of of Destihl rolled out the red carpet for us to do a show at his new restaurant.
Listen in as we find out a little history on Matt and how the Destihl came into being.
THIS SHOW CARRIES A PG RATING! (We are much more tame when out in public!)
One the show:
  1. Matt’s first brew-pub in Elmwood
  2. Midwest beer culture… Or lack of it.
  3. Training servers
  4. No other beers served!
  5. The Lager
  6. “Doing Law” and the natural progression to brewing!?! (Supportive Wife!!!)
  7. Siebel Beer School in Chicago
  8. Canning beer
  9. Incoming call from Margaret
  10. The Hefeweizen (Lemon-free)
  11. What does a brewer drink?
  12. Natural Yeast Beer in the news!
  13. The Nut-brown Ale
  14. CONTEST QUESTION
  15. Pleasant restrooms
  16. Coffee Stout
  17. The Destihl name
  18. Building in Champaign
  19. The Future
  20. Music to brew by
  21. Hiding behind the glass
  22. Destihl mints and tattoos?

All beers on the show were made at the brewery… And they were all GREAT!!!

All comments about people in Pekin only liking Bud Lite are from Groucho and CHUD…. For the record: Matt LOVES Pekin! (So do we… But its kinda fun to give our hometown some grief!)
