American Beer Review LIVE!

On this episode of ABR LIVE! the crew says auf wiedersehen to Chad before he heads to Oktoberfest. We start off our inaugural Oktoberfest special with some Bitburger pilsner and some theories on how beer was discovered. Moving on we give Stoup Brewing's Bavarian-Style Hef and Reuben's Brews Fest Bier Lager a try and burn through some beer news. Stay tuned to our Instagram for some live updates from Oktoberfest provided Chad does not loose his phone.

ABR LIVE! Episode 15 - We've Got Cabin Fever
American Beer Review LIVE!
02/08/23 • 63 min
On this episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, we start off beating a deceased equine and come up with an idea for a new podcast. Chad and Alec sit in stunned silence as Brian solos a review on our starter beer - Lucky Envelope Brewing's Raspberry Sour Ale. Alec leads us through a lengthy discussion of beer games - Chad once again pushes the bounds of the topic. After spending a deceptively long time talking beer games, we somehow remember to review Boundary Bay Brewing Co.'s Cabin Fever Winter Ale - and Chad shares a deep, dark secret. For the fans of beer lists and beer news, sorry we let you down this week.

American Beer Review LIVE!
12/20/23 • 42 min
On this week's episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, Chad got another Tavour drop based on the can art alone. We start the episode off with a heavy right foot and talk a little off-season NASCAR before we fill our glasses with Yamabiko Rice Lager from New Hokkaido Beverage Co. Meandering our way through some old new articles we end up making new best friends with Hoof Hearted Brewing while tasting and reading about their $60 Nachos Double IPA. Chad admits to stealing a new description for intense IPA flavor from @ihateipas on Tik Tok, Alec and Brian will allow it so as not to bring back the "U" word.

American Beer Review LIVE!
12/06/23 • 47 min
On this episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, we are talking crabs, cookies, CFB rankings, and DETH. Brian kicks things off with an important crab handling question, Chad surprisingly keeps the response PG. Our first beer of the day is Iron Horse Brewery's Cookie Death - another tasty remix of an ABR LIVE! perennial favorite, Quilter's Irish Death. We dip our toes into some sports punditry and talk about the shortcomings of the 2023 CFB Championship Four and our post-race thoughts on the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Moving back to beer we crack open, from Revolution Brewing, Cafe DETH - a bold, boozy, barrel aged stout. Alec provides a nifty little factoid about Revolution that could help you on a future Jeopardy appearance. Chad laments his crippling case of Cold-itis.

On this episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, the Sun is gone and it's cold.
We start off with an extra long cold open talking about Brian heading down to last week's UW/Oregon State football game and talk about some recent PAC-2 developments. We make a smooth transition to our first beer - Black Raven Brewing's Seasonal IPA, the Q4 offering of their newly-minted seasonal series. (Chad complains about it being dark at 4pm at this point). Next up we talk the relationship alcohol and caffeine have on sleep quality, and look into the results of a study that says pairing the two could potentially help you sleep better? We finish strong with Black Raven's Second Sight Scotch Ale, mythology talk, and power outage best practices.

ABR LIVE! Episode 39 - New Year, Wild Beer ft. The Ale Apothecary & Four Fathers Brewing
American Beer Review LIVE!
01/03/24 • 65 min
On today's episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, Chad struggles with how to describe non-IPA beers. Starting off 2024, the crew digs into Brian's Too Many Hops Theory, running down some experiments ran over the holiday season.
We crack our first pod-beer of the year, The Ale Apothecary's Little Star Saison, a shining example of the wonderful blending of flavors that wild/farmhouse style ales can achieve. We talk a bit about the Bend, Oregon beer scene, and the various road trip techniques each of us employ. Second up, we enter Vahalla (metaphorically) extra warm thanks to Viking Funeral (Chocolate Chipotle 2023), from Four Fathers Brewing. Still warm from the chipotle, we talk about the closing of a local favorite, Odd Otter Brewing. To make us not too sad about it, we do a patented ABR Beer List that highlights a couple of Brian's brewery besties - Structures Brewing and Stoup Brewing.
The Ale Apothecary
Little Star Saison
- 16 oz. Can - Tavour Drop
- 6.7% ABV
