Episode 637 – Amber-Dextrous

We can’t overstate the importance of the Amber beer on early craft beer culture, as just about any brewpub worth its malt back then would have a shaker pint of a rusty red-ish ale or lager ready to pour at all times. But is it possible that ambers are back? Either way, they’re back in our glasses in a major way with this downright impressive lineup that teaches us how to love again. Also, we are wondering why so many comedy sequels are forgettable; Craig has been holding out on his impressive flavor descriptors until now; and Ryan would’ve been insufferable if he’d discovered barleywines in high school. Call the Amber-lance – there’s no dim, red floppers to be found here.
