A Pair of Cocnuts

01/27/18 • 63 min

On this episode of the Ale Evangelist Show, Rodbo and the Scotsman try out some new technology, hopefully enabling them to do more regular shows, even when they can’t be in the same room! They try the Palaunu Brown Ale from Last Call Brewing Co. in Oakdale, CA, and discuss how neither of them like coconut...so how do they feel it works in this beer? Listen and find out. They also talk about some of the various events at SF Beer Week, happening from February 9th through the 18th. You guys, there are so many events, there’s no way you could hit them all. Finally, the guys cover the difference between an ale and lager, and how it really has little to do with flavor or appearance. Don’t miss this episode of the Ale Evangelist Show!

The Gang's All Here!

On this episode of the Ale Evangelist Show, the gang’s all here, and they’ve got some beers to drink. The show beers this episode were brought to you by Manteca Joe, as he donated the Cutthroat Porter from Odell Brewing and the Braveheart Nitro Scottish Style Ale from Left Hand Brewing. What a great way to celebrate the guys getting back together than some fantastic beers from Colorado? In a fun departure from the regular show fodder, a listener submitted their homebrew to see if we could give them some insight into what went wrong. The guys all try this beer and give their opinion on what went wrong/right, and what can be done to help this listener brew in the future. Finally, some local and national beer news. Don’t miss this episode of the Ale Evangelist Show.

Should We Shed a TIER?

On this episode of the Ale Evangelist Show, the Scotsman reunites with Drew and Whitey to talk about why Rodbo was...well...indisposed and unable to record. Quickly the topics turn to (what else?) beer! After talking about what has been up in a beery fashion, the guys discuss briefly whether the oft-maligned three-tier system has actually been GOOD for craft beer. (Say it ain’t so!) Could the tax breaks and sales restrictions actually be good for small breweries? Should the three tier system remain so craft beer can continue to thrive? Next up, the Scotsman decides to get rid of his Zymatic...sort of. He’s replacing it with the NEW version (and you can, too!) If you buy the new Z, use the official Ale Evangelist Show code: KYTHD, to score $50 off! Finally, they try the second edition (from the same bottling) of Listener Clay’s Irish Red. Is it better with age? Are the bottles inconsistent? The guys all talk about what potential issues can come about when you bottle beer. All of this excellent content along with two different Whitey-supplied show beers means you don’t want to miss this episode of the Ale Evangelist Show!
