Beer Before Fear - Beer Before Fear S2E03 - Poltergeist (1982)

11/15/24 • 64 min

As we delve into Episode 3 of Season 2 of Beer Before Fear, Erik and I confront the supernatural disturbances of "Poltergeist." This iconic film not only scared a generation but also set a high bar for ghostly special effects and family-centered horror.

This week, we're sampling a Double Stout from Pontoon Brewery right here in Atlanta. Historically, we've been less than impressed with some of their offerings we've featured on the show. However, since Stouts are one of Pontoon's specialties, we're eager to see if this beer redeems their reputation with us. Its robust and rich flavors are a promising pair for discussing the eerie happenings and intense emotional undertones of "Poltergeist."

Join us as we dissect the creepy phenomena and legendary curse associated with the film. Sip along with us on this specially chosen Double Stout and get ready for an episode filled with spectral insights and cinematic thrills.

Beer Before Fear - Beer Before Fear #15 - Tremors (1990)
play

01/19/24 • 64 min

In an unexpected twist of events, this week, we're coming from separate locations, due to some inclement weather. As such, that means that Erik wasn't able to bring a paired beer for this week's episode, so consider this our first 'BYOB' episode, where both of us are drinking what we bring! And, funnily enough, both of us decided to go with an Imperial Stout, with Erik's coming from local favorite Three Taverns Brewery, while I cracks open a Milk and Cookies Stout courtesy of Wicked Weed Brewing company over in Asheville, NC.
This week's film? One of the schlockiest B-movies of the 90's, Tremors! This cult-classic stars Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, and is essentially 'Jaws in the desert'. It's an absolute blast, and features some of the best character development of any creature feature you'll come across.
So kick back and enjoy our conversation about two of our favorite things: cold beer and scary movies!
