New Crush The Science of Saison Polish Beers The Old/Fresh Blind Test Smoked Beers Everyday

New Crush

Find your new summer crush with us as we try 6 flavorful, crushable beers perfect for summer. There's an Impossible Slider review, some PSX talk, a threat of improv poetry, and the introduction of the Crushometer! Kick! Punch! It's all in the mind.

The Science of Saison

We sit down with Mike Thorpe of Afterthought Brewing Company to taste and talk through a variety of saisons. There's tons of technical info about the saison making process and a big Craig celery update you don't want to miss. Saisonathon is May 21 at Pub Royale, FYI.

Polish Beers

To commemorate everyone’s favorite early-May drinking holiday, we have six beers to celebrate Polish Constitution Day! (Thursday, May 3rd!) Though this show cost only $15 to fill, its true value lies in providing the literal worst singular beer experience either us have ever had. Seriously. But there are also some killer value finds, along with stories of dumb eye injuries, the return of Black Phillip, and a Craig celery update.

The Old/Fresh Blind Test

We've all left beer around too long - whether intentional or not - so we see what happens to three different beers and try to guess the aged one and the fresh one blind. There's talk of an actual-size Craig bobblehead, Ryan gleeking with no regard, and undying love of Miller High Life.

Smoked Beers Everyday

rope bridge (to escape Vin Diesel of course), drop some movie refernces, go into the deep recesses of the weed internet, and try to make sense of children's Youtube. Hold up. Heyyy.

Episode 224 – New Crush

Stealing furtive glances from across the liquor store, you let your gaze finally fix on what could be your new summer crush – a local canned beer under six percent alcohol.

Episode 223 – The Science of Saison

Few styles are as satisfying as a perfectly executed saison. It’s no wonder that the devotees of this heterogeneous style are as passionate as they are, passing on the latest fad IPA to reach for some stubby green bottle with the hard-to-pronounce Belgian name.

Episode 221 – The Old/Fresh Blind Test

It’s a HIGH concept week here at ABV Labs as we determine whether certain beloved beers should or should not be aged. We have six beers to drink: two vintages of three different beers, and we approach each set blind to see if we can tell the difference.
