  Nice, silly. OK, Everybody's been invited.
• 1:16
  DJI say DJ hello nationally. What's up, buddy?
• 1:26
  You know, life in the old pass lane.
• 1:29
  Long time no see. Hello, Rich.
• 1:34
  Steve. What's the hat, Rich?
• 1:36
  That's funky dude, you know? Man creature.
• 1:39
  Yeah, yeah. Comforts Ale Sharpton.
• 1:43
  Did see that one? Yeah, that's Brad.
• 1:46
  So funny, I was thinking about that beer last night going I
• 1:48
  could use another one of those. Yeah.
• 1:51
  That's so good. I think I've got.
• 1:54
  I might have one more. I've got one.
• 1:57
  I've not cracked mine yet, I've still got it.
• 2:00
  You got to crack it. I'm not.
• 2:02
  It's not one that can, it's not one that I would recommend
• 2:06
  holding on to long term because it's 96 and it's relatively
• 2:14
  thin. So OK, drink it if you can.
• 2:18
  Yeah, as a matter of fact, I, I meant to break.
• 2:20
  I actually brought it in. I've got a beer fridge.
• 2:22
  I brought it in the house, like to be part of my drink that
• 2:27
  night. I just never got to it's.
• 2:32
  Bunch of bunch of boomers doing Instagram live boomer.
• 2:37
  Boomer, we figured it out, I guess.
• 2:42
  We're just not allowed, I guess. We're just not allowed to go.
• 2:45
  I mean, we're live right now, but.
• 2:47
  Live baby. Can initiate a live.
• 2:50
  I don't know, it says. I was looking it up and there's
• 2:53
  a minimum requirement in order to, quote UN quote, go live, but
• 2:58
  we're live right now. So does that mean like you can't
• 3:01
  initiate it, but you can join? It's really weird.
• 3:04
  I don't know, it's weird, dude. We try to get, we did a little
• 3:06
  happy hour last last night, not live, but nobody could invite
• 3:09
  anybody else like one. I was so weird.
• 3:11
  Like the search bar was gone, like it was just weird.
• 3:13
  So I don't know. Zuck needs to get his shit
• 3:15
  together. Yeah.
• 3:17
  Technology. Stupid Instagram.
• 3:20
  What was I? I was going to ask.
• 3:23
  Hey, Scott, you coming from tailgate?
• 3:26
  Did you end up going? I did, yeah.
• 3:27
  I only, I was only there for like an hour and a half or
• 3:29
  something, but. Yeah, I was.
• 3:33
  I did get it. I'm expecting you coming in hot
• 3:35
  like. Well, I'll tell you, I probably
• 3:39
  would have at least one more. They were, they were thriving,
• 3:42
  dude, There were, when I went to get my third beer, there were 20
• 3:45
  people in line. No, no shit.
• 3:47
  Literally 20 people. But I mean, they blew through
• 3:49
  the line. They did really good, but it was
• 3:51
  like, I mean, it's Tuesday night, dollar beer, da da da.
• 3:55
  There you go. Oh, it's, that's right, that's
• 3:58
  right. It's it's Mug club night.
• 4:00
  Yeah, and I hadn't been in a minute, so I think I'm gonna
• 4:01
  shoot over there. I feel like you can recoup the
• 4:04
  cost of membership and one of those nights alone just.
• 4:08
  Why not? Snitch when?
• 4:12
  What's membership? Is it 65?
• 4:15
  It's like 60, I think it's like 60 plus tax or something.
• 4:17
  Yeah, it has 60 plus tax or whatever.
• 4:20
  And on the last Tuesday of each month, all beers on the wall
• 4:26
  except barrel aged beers, which there haven't been any recently,
• 4:29
  all barrel aged beers, all non barrel aged beers are a dollar.
• 4:34
  Yeah, we figured, we determined the price difference between
• 4:38
  what it normally costs and the dollar.
• 4:41
  If you go to three of those mug club nights, so three Tuesdays
• 4:46
  in a year Mitch and you drink 3 beers, 3 beers, it is paying for
• 4:54
  itself. The the 12 difference has paid
• 4:57
  now. Now we all order way more than
• 5:00
  we should when we go there. So there's like 50 dollars, $30.
• 5:04
  We are very responsible. Let's just let's just say no
• 5:08
  matter what, my tab is always the same price if I get a dollar
• 5:12
  beer or a full price beer 1000% gift.
• 5:16
  I'm going for a dollar breeze. You think you're getting out
• 5:18
  there for 6 bucks? No, you're still spending 65
• 5:21
  somehow. You gotta love it.
• 5:26
  You're like, you know what? I'm an idiot, really.
• 5:31
  You're like, you know what? These beers are so cheap, let's
• 5:33
  order a pizza. That's right.
• 5:36
  And it is $30 pizza. It's.
• 5:38
  Great. It's $30 pizza.
• 5:41
  Yeah, I think there was that. There was that time I got a
• 5:44
  pizza and Scott's like, I don't think you're going to eat that
• 5:46
  whole thing. And I'm like, I'm going to try
• 5:48
  to eat this. Whole I'm going to.
• 5:49
  Try. I may have gotten through it, I
• 5:51
  can't remember. Yeah, they do have really great
• 5:54
  and that's the other thing too, like and not necessarily mud
• 5:56
  club, but like that's Tuesdays with the with the mud club
• 6:00
  Wednesdays they have half off pizza anyway.
• 6:02
  That's a, that's a good, I mean, that's a good thing that you're
• 6:06
  paying the full price now you're still 65 bucks to.
• 6:08
  Yeah, I was going to say I if you, if you go, I guess now you
• 6:14
  could go during, you could go on Tuesdays because I think is it
• 6:19
  all day Tuesday during the last day of the month is Mud Club.
• 6:23
  Yeah, because during lunch from like 11:00 to 1:00, it's like
• 6:26
  $10 pizzas. I can get a small cheese or
• 6:28
  pepper and beets for like 9 bucks or something like.
• 6:31
  That take a PTO day and go there like.
• 6:34
  Takes off to go. To, or at least work from work
• 6:41
  remotely up until lunchtime and then just cut out.
• 6:44
  Yeah. They're unlocking the doors
• 6:46
  these first in line. Knock, knock, let me in
• 6:50
  breakfast. I skipped breakfast just for
• 6:53
  this. Are we, are we going on Saturday
• 6:58
  to see Mitch? No.
• 6:59
  Next Saturday. Next Saturday the 27th.
• 7:03
  Yeah. What's whatever you guys want to
• 7:06
  do is fine. Scott, I think it was you I
• 7:08
  mentioned. You have to be back that night.
• 7:10
  I'm I'm. Well, yeah, we just, we just
• 7:13
  could be we have a thing the next day.
• 7:14
  So good night. It's just as long as we get
• 7:16
  back. That's Yeah, I suppose you like
• 7:19
  staying the night. We'll get back.
• 7:20
  We'll get back. Like staying the night would be
• 7:23
  an option, but it's like we'd have to pop up and get back and
• 7:25
  then prepare for the thing we got to do.
• 7:27
  So it's the preparation. I mean, Chattanooga Mitch, what?
• 7:31
  It's not even. Is it 2 hours?
• 7:35
  Close to it, yeah. It depends on traffic really.
• 7:38
  Yeah, yeah. I've gotten there.
• 7:41
  I've got the Chattanooga from my house on a weekend, like a
• 7:43
  Saturday, hour and 45 maybe, yeah.
• 7:47
  You're driving Well, I guess you're driving then we're.
• 7:50
  Also, we're also planning on whether or not you guys want to
• 7:53
  now, if you guys want a carpool, that's fine because I'm, I'm
• 7:56
  definitely coming back Saturday night.
• 7:57
  And so I don't know what kind of I think Scott, you might have, I
• 8:01
  know you have a Rogue also, but they get pretty good gas mileage
• 8:04
  unless you've got some. I don't driving at all.
• 8:06
  But regardless, I'm stopping a common John along the way.
• 8:11
  I think the plan is, yeah, I may even like, because I probably
• 8:15
  come by scoop up Steve, I just come by scoop up you too.
• 8:17
  You guys are not far down from each other.
• 8:19
  And then we just keep keep getting head to count, head to
• 8:22
  Manchester. I don't work.
• 8:23
  When in when in Manchester, it's either Bonnaroo or Common John.
• 8:29
  That's right, the. Biscuit and the beer.
• 8:31
  Past weekend we'd be waiting in traffic trying to get through
• 8:34
  all that. Oh.
• 8:36
  And beer. Hey, hello, everybody that's
• 8:39
  joined and, and it's peeking in, it's up everybody into our you
• 8:47
  get into our closet. Mitch, what do you got there?
• 8:49
  I've got AI guess it's a special beer.
• 8:52
  I can't look at untapped right now because I'm on my phone but
• 8:56
  the I've got a The Lost Abbey Angel share.
• 9:00
  Is that the 2011 Mitch? Yeah.
• 9:04
  How's that holding up? So far it's pretty damn good,
• 9:08
  no? It's.
• 9:10
  About the car, definitely viscous, but it it's got some
• 9:15
  good like oakiness to it and everything it's.
• 9:18
  No. Not syrup, it's still pretty
• 9:22
  lightweight, a little bit of bitterness to it, very nice. 815
• 9:29
  years. You know, yeah, maybe I
• 9:32
  shouldn't say lightweight, but you know, it's not like a heavy
• 9:37
  stout or anything. It's very, very tasty.
• 9:41
  The Lost Abbey's Angel Share Ale you.
• 9:47
  Should definitely check, huh? You should definitely check that
• 9:50
  in on tap because people are going to be like where the fuck
• 9:52
  did you get that? That's true. 12 1/2 percent.
• 9:57
  Oh, that's all. Yeah, that's all.
• 10:00
  Is that all? That's all.
• 10:03
  Yeah. It's got a average of 4.2 on
• 10:06
  untapped. That's pretty high marks.
• 10:09
  Yeah, this one's, it's got a pretty good story to it, the
• 10:15
  Angel share. It's a overtime whiskey's
• 10:20
  whiskey that is lost to evaporation is referred to the
• 10:23
  loss of spirits as the Angel share.
• 10:26
  And each time barrel a barrel is filled, the measure of the
• 10:30
  liquid season to the oak and is lost forever.
• 10:33
  And then that's what this guy aged and they carry on the name
• 10:36
  with it. Pretty cool.
• 10:39
  You got lost in from your. Bottle.
• 10:41
  Yes. Now it's getting lost inside me.
• 10:44
  Yeah, it is. You think it still tastes like
• 10:48
  you think it's still, I mean, obviously they be beating Gono,
• 10:51
  but it still tastes. Like a 12, it's definitely got
• 10:54
  that sweeter note to it where you know, that's alcohol.
• 10:58
  So it's got a little bit of that, some vanilla to it.
• 11:03
  It's, I think it, if I was to guess, I would have been like at
• 11:06
  least a 10/5 or something like the Saint Bernardis.
• 11:10
  That's how it kind of how weighty it feels on my palate.
• 11:13
  But it's still got a little bit of sweating just from the sugars
• 11:18
  or whatever from that oakiness. And it's really, it's a solid 1.
• 11:22
  I wish they had more of these these.
• 11:25
  This is a nice find. Not bad, you just bought the one
• 11:28
  in 2011. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:35
  Holy crap, yeah. I just noticed they call it malt
• 11:40
  beverage and oak barrels. I was like, hold on.
• 11:48
  It's it's legit. It still sounds.
• 11:49
  Legit, it's great. It tastes really good.
• 11:52
  That's awesome. That's great.
• 11:56
  Stevie Flash something up there on the screen.
• 11:58
  What was that? Oh yeah.
• 11:59
  How would I get the Marie Underground podcast?
• 12:05
  Here's what this is. And I had to pull it up so I
• 12:08
  could get the nails right. This is a burial zoo collab, the
• 12:13
  fabrication of the most diabolical empire.
• 12:18
  Double New England. Hazy up.
• 12:20
  Yeah. Nice, so the label's got the
• 12:22
  Nashville Horizon on. It even.
• 12:26
  Better. Yeah.
• 12:29
  Can you see that? Oh yeah.
• 12:32
  I think that's the Zool collapse.
• 12:34
  Isn't that the the the world? What is it?
• 12:37
  The name of the world? Fair thing, Yeah.
• 12:40
  Oh, one of the Yeah, one of the one of one of the towers or
• 12:45
  whatever they call. One of those things the.
• 12:47
  Needle Space Needles. I love.
• 12:48
  I always love though their names.
• 12:50
  The fabrication of a most diabolical empire.
• 12:55
  Here's the whole back story. There's the when I was at when I
• 12:59
  was at zoo recently in both locations in Asheville, you walk
• 13:02
  up to the bar to order a beer and I go, you don't need the
• 13:04
  whole name, do you? She goes, We prefer you don't we
• 13:08
  do like the first 3 words. That's kind of it.
• 13:10
  The funny it. Was funny, I was looking at it
• 13:13
  last night. So like I knew I had a burial
• 13:15
  zoo clap and I'm looking and try to look it up and I'm going, oh,
• 13:18
  you know, yeah. But yeah, it's got, it's got
• 13:21
  some little Batman on there too, for, you know, downtown.
• 13:25
  D Building. All that, yeah, it's got the
• 13:27
  Batman on all that. Yeah, I just cracked it open.
• 13:30
  I haven't even had it yet so it's like.
• 13:34
  Good time, hopefully a high rating.
• 13:36
  Should be it's a burial and zoo collab.
• 13:39
  It's going to be a high rating. It better be if it's not that,
• 13:43
  I'm out. I'm out of the business.
• 13:44
  I'm. Never drinking beer. 8.2% double
• 13:46
  New England hazy. So yeah, yeah, this is
• 13:50
  fantastic. I'm going to go next and then
• 13:54
  we're going to then we're going to get to Rich and then we're
• 13:56
  going to get to the point of this thing.
• 13:59
  There's no point of this thing, the whole there's a.
• 14:00
  Point. There's a point and this has
• 14:02
  been coming a long time and we're really excited about it.
• 14:05
  Too long. So I actually stopped.
• 14:07
  So Main Street, Aaron got some new dreckers over there and
• 14:13
  what's cool, So this one's called It's Just Smol.
• 14:17
  And there's two of them. This one is passion fruit orange
• 14:20
  guava and I got another one and it's an smol little fruit sour
• 14:27
  blue razz. And what's cool about these cans
• 14:29
  for 12 ouncers? Oh nice.
• 14:32
  Yeah, well, that's cool. You know that.
• 14:33
  Sierra Nevada pills that comes out that little skinny, that's
• 14:36
  an 8 ouncer. This is that same skinniness,
• 14:39
  but it's a little taller, so it's a 12 ounce.
• 14:40
  It's really cool. It's like, I don't know, it's
• 14:44
  badass, Yeah. I love the.
• 14:47
  He dropped some other. He had some other half that was
• 14:49
  new. I got some of those downstairs.
• 14:51
  He had some more callus I think too.
• 14:53
  Talus. I picked up one of those that
• 14:55
  yeah, they're, they're expensive, but it's not Main
• 14:57
  Street 12. It's more Talus.
• 14:58
  Yeah, I also got like a new von Trapp.
• 15:02
  Von Trapp. Von Trapp.
• 15:04
  Gorgeous. Yeah, it's a Northern German
• 15:08
  style pills collab with Berry House Beer Company.
• 15:12
  There's one of that collab series.
• 15:15
  They so brand new love what Von Trap is doing.
• 15:17
  They're breaking a really good beer by the way.
• 15:18
  You. Know it's funny, I see them out
• 15:20
  a lot at different places. I haven't had enough Von Trap
• 15:22
  though. I've got a couple.
• 15:26
  They're soft. Yeah, my.
• 15:27
  First, my first von trap was when we all went out to Hopping
• 15:32
  River North. Oh yeah, that soft opening night
• 15:35
  and they had a bunch of trap there.
• 15:37
  Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Those were good.
• 15:40
  Everything I put out. It's been good, yeah.
• 15:45
  What's up Matt and Ryan? They're.
• 15:46
  Readily available around this area too.
• 15:49
  Yep, and I seem like every time something new comes out like
• 15:52
  Aaron's got it. Yeah, and he posts too.
• 15:58
  Like he's everything that he gets out, he posts.
• 16:02
  And that's, that's kind of like the indicator of like, OK, go
• 16:05
  down and get. Shout out by the way, to the
• 16:08
  Sensi Brew dads that are joining us.
• 16:11
  The boys, Matt and Ryan so. They're actually winning since
• 16:16
  he brewed ads. They're winning last time I saw.
• 16:19
  We're not in both place, but you know.
• 16:23
  Matt Ryan, if you hadn't met, this is Mitch and Rich the phone
• 16:25
  we had so our our partners in crime here in Nashville.
• 16:28
  So what's? Happening.
• 16:31
  They they've listened to a few episodes.
• 16:33
  I'm sure they've heard you guys on there.
• 16:36
  And then they turn around. Who knows, Feathers?
• 16:39
  Who the? Hell is.
• 16:41
  That was fine until Steve and I popped in like these
• 16:42
  motherfuckers again. God damn this Mitch, this Mitch
• 16:46
  and rich guys, man we like. Everywhere.
• 16:50
  So which one is that? Which one is that, Scott?
• 16:52
  Which Trekker is that? You said it was the SMOL.
• 16:56
  Yeah, SMOL is the passion fruit, orange water.
• 16:59
  What's nice about it? I don't, I don't know much about
• 17:01
  the series because it's, I mean, they're obviously two of them.
• 17:03
  It's, you know, Drekker, you know what's usually pretty heavy
• 17:06
  and sweet. So if this is somewhere in
• 17:07
  between. OK.
• 17:09
  It's just a little fruit and sour it's.
• 17:11
  A fruit and sour. Yeah, but it's not like it's not
• 17:15
  like really thick and heavy. And I don't know what it looks
• 17:17
  like because I'm drinking out of a can, but I think the 12 oz is
• 17:19
  nice. I mean, the other ones came out
• 17:22
  with, I mean, they had 16 ounces there too of other things.
• 17:25
  But that's a nice little nice little can.
• 17:27
  It's good. Sweet.
• 17:28
  And I do want to say that this beer that I'm having, it is
• 17:31
  diabolical in a good. You expect to see that in your
• 17:39
  untapped description. Yeah, it's diabolical.
• 17:42
  By God, whoever thought the diabolical would be a a
• 17:46
  compliment? But yeah, no.
• 17:48
  Yeah. And then they just, they just
• 17:51
  check in for the lost Abbey. Should be like hey found it.
• 17:55
  Yeah, right. There it is.
• 17:59
  I'm worried. I'm just I'm just keep alone.
• 18:01
  On this thing, it's like, yeah, yeah.
• 18:04
  That's good. Even nice legs.
• 18:06
  Yeah. Stevie did good on cleaning the
• 18:10
  glass. Hell yeah.
• 18:12
  Good job everybody. No dirty glass clubs, I'm sorry.
• 18:17
  Make sure you hand wash your glasses boys.
• 18:19
  Hand wash those glasses. What's up, Radar Brewing
• 18:23
  Company? Cheers guys.
• 18:25
  Cheers. The radar, yeah.
• 18:27
  Hello. Hello.
• 18:28
  Awesome. OK, so if anybody's paying
• 18:31
  attention, we've named this little thing we're doing
• 18:34
  episode. I was going to say episode, but
• 18:35
  then we're naming this little live thing.
• 18:38
  It's called Rich's Five Thousandth Unique Beer.
• 18:42
  If you see it scrolling across, that's what that means.
• 18:46
  Rich is 5000. And I can, and I can genuinely
• 18:52
  say that ever since we decided to do kind of like a happy hour
• 18:58
  or whatever, I have like 6 beers in my fridge that I have not
• 19:03
  had. You're just stacking them up and
• 19:05
  I'm just looking at my, my, my. I've got 1-2, three.
• 19:12
  I've got a couple hot butchers. I've got some other halves.
• 19:15
  Oh hot. Butcher.
• 19:17
  I've got a few like Bourbon County Bran Stout variants in
• 19:20
  there that I haven't haven't had yet, and then my Tavor order
• 19:24
  shipped last night. It's just like they're just
• 19:25
  throwing it in my face. You literally went, you told us
• 19:29
  the other day you said you went to Mr. Brews and they had 4
• 19:31
  beers on draft you hadn't had and you had to stay away from
• 19:35
  him. They.
• 19:35
  Had they had an IPA that I hadn't, had two pilsners that I
• 19:40
  know Mitch would convince me to drink if he were there with me
• 19:43
  because it's good. And then I thought, I thought
• 19:49
  there was going to be, I thought there was a new no crushed that
• 19:54
  was out. But it was just Raspberry and I
• 19:56
  had already had it. So I went ahead and got another
• 19:58
  one anyway because I like no crush.
• 19:59
  I like. The.
• 20:01
  Opinion out of the PB and JS like mixtape no crust are well
• 20:06
  then common. John's is really good too.
• 20:08
  That's the problem. Like they're all they're all
• 20:10
  solid. But I was thinking about this
• 20:11
  last night. They're all different, like I
• 20:13
  can taste, I can drink each one of them, and I could probably
• 20:17
  tell you where each one of them came from.
• 20:19
  I'm not good on the flavors, but like marble crosses, no crust
• 20:23
  tastes way different from PB and J, right?
• 20:26
  Which tastes completely different from what was common
• 20:29
  John's PB and J name. I'm trying to remember.
• 20:33
  Yeah, I had that one too, and now I can't remember the exact.
• 20:37
  They're all really good, but yeah, it's.
• 20:39
  Just it's I was there and I just had to stick with beers that I
• 20:42
  had already had. There were a couple good ones,
• 20:44
  don't get me wrong, but it was it was rough.
• 20:47
  But I checked in one today that brought me to 4999 and I kept
• 20:53
  going back and just confirming before I hit submit make sure
• 20:57
  that I didn't like pull that refresh to some more.
• 21:03
  Why would you do that, Rich? Why would you go back and
• 21:05
  confirm? Because maybe I've made this
• 21:11
  mistake before and I thought that may I, I thought I was
• 21:15
  checking in A5 thousandth beer like a few months ago and I got
• 21:19
  some friends together. I had my buddy, my buddy brought
• 21:22
  over an Anchorage stout that was going to be like my 5 thousandth
• 21:25
  beer and I had it already. I tagged everyone.
• 21:27
  I went to hit check in and I got no badge and I was like, what's
• 21:30
  going on? I went and looked back at it,
• 21:33
  4000, 4499, it brought me to 4500.
• 21:39
  I'd read it wrong this whole time.
• 21:41
  And I've been planning this get together for like a week.
• 21:44
  And so yeah, I was, I was pretty pissed.
• 21:46
  I was like, I blew, I blew my wand on a good beer on a check
• 21:50
  in with no badge and like no, no rank whatsoever.
• 21:54
  And so whatever. I was just wanted to be extra
• 21:57
  safe. But here we are at 4999.
• 22:02
  I've just. Confirmed.
• 22:03
  I've got so I am drinking. Actually, believe it or not, I
• 22:06
  am drinking a. This is a Mortalis and
• 22:10
  Equilibrium collaboration. It's a triple IPA.
• 22:14
  Oh nice. Called Lupus.
• 22:18
  I'm going to butcher this Solitarius.
• 22:21
  Solitarius Equilibrium brewed it, and then Mortalis brewed
• 22:26
  their own version of it. I don't know if there's any
• 22:29
  difference but they're both like extremely similar if not the
• 22:34
  same from what I can tell in the hot profile between the two,
• 22:40
  they're both 10% triple IPA New England's so I don't know they
• 22:45
  they seem like the same beer, just bird at different
• 22:48
  locations. OK, I agree Cincy brewed ads, I
• 22:52
  agree. Yeah, equilibrium you've had,
• 22:58
  you've had a hard time. You've been in purgatory for a
• 23:04
  minute being at Mr. Brews and not getting beard.
• 23:05
  Like you could have played that. Like I'm going to drink it and
• 23:08
  maybe just not check them in and kind of hold out for the.
• 23:11
  Thing. Man, you were in purgatory.
• 23:13
  You're like, Nope. I was I was I was trying to get
• 23:16
  into heaven, Scott. I was good.
• 23:20
  I was trying to be good. That's the thing.
• 23:22
  What I what I'll say is I'm sure that I have missed a few along
• 23:27
  the way. And whether or not this is truly
• 23:29
  five times my untapped goes back to 2011 is when I joined.
• 23:34
  It was like version one point O and it was when it was just
• 23:39
  barely even an app like it was functional, but it was it was
• 23:42
  definitely an MVP type of, you know, type build.
• 23:46
  And so there's definitely some I'm, I know I've missed along
• 23:49
  the way in the 15 years that I've had it, but it does. 5.
• 23:55
  1000 unique check insurance on untapped so that's why.
• 23:58
  This is the official thing. I mean, that's what it says on
• 24:00
  the board, that's what it says. So that's what we're going with.
• 24:03
  So. That's what we're going with.
• 24:04
  Yep. And you probably missed a couple
• 24:06
  of check insurance and beer festivals along the way because
• 24:08
  you're too busy. Yeah.
• 24:10
  Yeah. And you had one lined up for
• 24:14
  this that you wanted to get that actually had your name on it it?
• 24:17
  Yeah, it still hasn't shipped, Scott.
• 24:21
  I'm looking I'm looking at my Tavor right now and Tavor has
• 24:27
  you can pre-order beers and then you can wait list beers, right?
• 24:30
  pre-order means first come first serve.
• 24:34
  You buy it, they charge your card and then it gets sent to
• 24:38
  you and then it gets released to the general public.
• 24:41
  Wait listed beers is like you may get some, I don't know.
• 24:48
  You can you basically get in line, right?
• 24:50
  You get in line, they don't charge you until it ships to
• 24:52
  you. You may or may not ever get it.
• 24:54
  I don't know. But there's actually a beer from
• 24:57
  Mill Pond Brewing out in Illinois called Richard, which
• 25:02
  has to be terrible. And they do release every year
• 25:07
  and this is a 2026 version. So I I wait listed it like what,
• 25:13
  two months back? Three months back?
• 25:14
  Like it's been a while. Like surely I'll get it in.
• 25:17
  Time nothing and I kept pushing my shipping crate back, you
• 25:21
  know, another week, another week just thinking, you know like
• 25:23
  it'll drop, they'll add it to my crate and knowing my luck,
• 25:27
  they'll open up a brand new crate tomorrow and be like, hey,
• 25:30
  here's your new first beer in the new crate.
• 25:31
  Which means now I got to fill it up again so I can get it
• 25:34
  delivered to me. That's such a problem in it.
• 25:36
  It's it's such a racket. But I haven't gotten it.
• 25:39
  I haven't gotten it yet. Yeah.
• 25:43
  So you had to pivot a little bit for for 5000, so.
• 25:47
  What do we say? Just doing easy math, 5-5 bucks
• 25:52
  a beer at 5000 unique beers equals $25,000 spent on beer.
• 25:59
  And that's not including the 10,000 homestyles I've probably
• 26:04
  checked in over the course of mine.
• 26:06
  Right. Or inflation.
• 26:09
  You have the poor inflation. That's just that's just 25 grand
• 26:13
  spent on very first time drinking beers.
• 26:17
  That's incredible, yeah. And Scott, we're not even going
• 26:20
  to check yours. I think you got 11,000.
• 26:23
  This is about you. This is just stick to the
• 26:25
  script. We're not good.
• 26:29
  Not for another day, we don't. We don't need this head on the
• 26:35
  where on the airway. No, we're not putting that.
• 26:37
  I'll pick. I'll pick on.
• 26:39
  Bitch, then surely this is. About you, my numbers are way
• 26:43
  low compared to what the actual results are.
• 26:47
  Right. I mean if they want proof.
• 26:50
  That's true. Yeah, I feel that way sometimes.
• 26:53
  Basically going, like I said, you go to beer festivals and go,
• 26:57
  I'm too busy, I'm too busy drinking.
• 26:59
  You check all these in, you forget.
• 27:01
  Then you get home and you're like, OK, I'm going to check
• 27:03
  this in and three or four days later.
• 27:06
  Yeah, Mitch doesn't. Mitch doesn't check in all of
• 27:08
  his beers. I know that because we've been
• 27:11
  on some pretty decent vendors throughout the day or the
• 27:14
  weekend or whatever. And yeah, just counts to these
• 27:18
  the same. Like I just, yeah, I forget.
• 27:22
  I'll take pictures but then I just won't check them back in
• 27:27
  the moments. Past.
• 27:28
  I don't it is. Yep.
• 27:30
  I got a lot of friends that way too.
• 27:32
  Like we go to Beer Fest and go to GBF and like they're gung ho.
• 27:35
  They don't use it all year. Like they're kind of gung ho.
• 27:37
  I'm gonna fucking clean up. It'll start.
• 27:39
  Yeah, you know, and they like to brag because they're getting all
• 27:41
  these badges, right? Hey, Scott, you haven't got a
• 27:43
  badge in a week. And I got 14 badges for one
• 27:45
  second. They love that.
• 27:47
  And then they just, they're like, yeah, it's too much
• 27:49
  fucking trouble. That's why I was taking it.
• 27:53
  Was they taking all the pictures at Cabin Fever this year?
• 27:56
  Because we were going through all the home Brewers and I'm
• 27:59
  like, not only am I going to post all this later, now I can
• 28:03
  also check in these later because I'm not checking them in
• 28:05
  right now. I'm too busy drinking them.
• 28:07
  But yeah, I was following up later on going, OK, I have to, I
• 28:10
  have to know the name of that brewery or that home Brewer, the
• 28:15
  name of the beer. Complicated.
• 28:18
  This is. Steve, Steve, this is what you
• 28:20
  do. You, you go.
• 28:22
  You go and get you a friend that's adamant about checking
• 28:26
  the beers in. Yeah, Tailwind off of him.
• 28:30
  Yeah. Exactly.
• 28:31
  And I feel like we've all done that on this, like on this live,
• 28:34
  we've all done it like we'll hit after a festival, be like, okay,
• 28:38
  I've checked mine in. Scott will be like I've checked
• 28:39
  mine in for anybody who hasn't. Then we can all just go back
• 28:42
  through and be like, Yep. Go back in.
• 28:44
  That one. If I'm skinning yours, I'm like,
• 28:47
  Oh yeah, that's one I missed. Boom.
• 28:49
  You know, forgot about that one. Or the ones that you're not or
• 28:53
  the ones that we had that red few and I had it.
• 28:55
  It's Mr. Bruce. What was that one that
• 28:58
  Murfreesboro that I checked in. It was, it was a few months ago
• 29:03
  when we were there and we were trying to figure out was that
• 29:06
  the right year for it? Because on on tapped, it was
• 29:09
  the. Good one.
• 29:11
  I'm trying to think who that was, but it was just kind of
• 29:15
  funny. I can't remember which beer it
• 29:17
  was now, but Oh well. If only there was a way you
• 29:22
  could check. It there's a way?
• 29:25
  Maybe. Maybe one day they'll come up
• 29:28
  with that, I thought. It was the celebration, IP
• 29:31
  celebration. Celebration.
• 29:34
  Yes, yeah, celebration because there's a whole big dispute
• 29:37
  about whether or not that was a twenty 26th one or 20251.
• 29:44
  It's not any of them, it's just regular celebration.
• 29:47
  So but it's OK, I allowed it. It was OK I.
• 29:50
  Got allowed it. I think I called you both out
• 29:53
  and I got it's not a 2020. Six.
• 29:55
  Well, that's. What?
• 29:56
  It changed the recipe? Do they?
• 29:59
  No. No, I had a meeting that day and
• 30:02
  I think we conferred it. It was the right one.
• 30:05
  It's the one that was on their, it was the one that was on their
• 30:08
  list. It's still just celebration.
• 30:11
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:13
  I think it was you know what? We're taking you back to 4998.
• 30:20
  Damn it, you're going to need to drink two more.
• 30:22
  Blew my water again actually. Actually, you know what?
• 30:27
  I'm going to look this up. I'm pretty sure I did not check
• 30:30
  it in because I just assumed celebration.
• 30:35
  You might drink too, man. You might have to drink too, I
• 30:39
  checked. The worst things right, Mitch?
• 30:45
  Well, never mind. Nope.
• 30:49
  I checked in the 20. I checked in the 202510 Mr.
• 30:56
  Bruce had. Mr. Bruce had listed it as on
• 31:01
  their site as the 2024 and I went and I was like, there's no
• 31:06
  way because it's November of 2025 at this point.
• 31:10
  And so I went to the 2025 and checked it in, but I had already
• 31:15
  checked it in, so technically never got credit for a new
• 31:18
  unique beer. So OK, not only did I check in
• 31:21
  the correct year, but I also checked it in as a duplicate.
• 31:24
  So no 5000. Your numbers are legit.
• 31:28
  Your numbers are legit. We may continue with the
• 31:34
  program. Finance reporting currently.
• 31:39
  This. Is right up my alley.
• 31:41
  There was a it was, it was a vetting.
• 31:42
  There was a vetting system here. There was that.
• 31:45
  Was close to Richard. We were going to have to shut
• 31:47
  this whole thing down. Now back to.
• 31:51
  Richard 5999 Do You Need beer? We keep doing this.
• 31:57
  Poor rich is like I can't get past this.
• 31:59
  Fucking number. Damn it. 4th happy hour of 4999
• 32:06
  Beer. The fucker.
• 32:09
  Straight 5000 beers in these happy hours.
• 32:11
  He still can't go. I need to check this in actually
• 32:14
  OK. So so let's go back to let's go
• 32:17
  back to your five thousands there, Rich.
• 32:19
  Let's let's make this is this is the one, huh?
• 32:21
  This. Is the one.
• 32:22
  This is officially 5000. It's a mortalis and equilibrium
• 32:28
  collab and I am giving this rating.
• 32:33
  I'm giving A5. 55.1. Put in the.
• 32:41
  Comment section I'm rating this a 5.1.
• 32:45
  Yeah. That's your name on it.
• 32:47
  I'm poor now, Steve. I can't do it.
• 32:49
  I have to do the regular .25 increments.
• 32:51
  I didn't. I don't have an untapped insider
• 32:54
  subscription any. No, I was going to say though in
• 32:56
  your comment you can rate it A5 and in the comments section I'm
• 32:59
  actually rating this a 5.1. I don't feel like I would give
• 33:04
  this. I feel like I feel like this
• 33:09
  beer is. I don't want to say it because I
• 33:14
  know it's it's. Nobody's listening.
• 33:18
  This is true? No, I'm saying like we joke.
• 33:23
  We joke for the same exact things where like you drink this
• 33:26
  beer and be like, oh, it's an IPA but it's too hoppy.
• 33:28
  But like the the beer is good for 10% and for Mortalis and
• 33:36
  Equilibrium, I expected a little bit more complexity like the the
• 33:42
  hop, the hop profile is good. It's got a really good smooth, I
• 33:47
  don't want to use the term Milky, but it's like really easy
• 33:49
  and smooth and fluffy drinking, but there's just not much.
• 33:54
  Like it's strong, it's sweet and it's kind of hoppy.
• 33:59
  I expected it to be a little bit hoppier than what it is for the
• 34:02
  the hop profile that they used, but I am not disappointed in
• 34:06
  this beer at all. I would drink it a million times
• 34:09
  over. I'm probably going to give it
• 34:11
  like a 4.25. OK, that's a good.
• 34:14
  That's a good. Rating would be what I'm saying,
• 34:16
  which is a good rating. How about game show there for a
• 34:22
  second? Good, good one, good one.
• 34:27
  Rich, if you want to take that one off the board and go get
• 34:29
  another one. I feel like I should have gone
• 34:33
  out and got some of those streamers today for the 5000
• 34:36
  hang it, we're the I don't have any streamers.
• 34:40
  We should have named our price first before he told us what it
• 34:42
  was. 4 clubs. Cinthe Brew Dad's 4.
• 34:46
  Club all right Richard, if I check this period and I don't
• 34:51
  get the 5000 then I'm. Going to hang on, hang on.
• 34:55
  There it is. Look at the look at that.
• 35:00
  It's 00. Epic, epic.
• 35:09
  Here's to 5000. Cheers to 5000 beers and way
• 35:14
  more if you're or not way more if you're Scott because he
• 35:17
  definitely hasn't checked in 5000 beers.
• 35:21
  About you again, Stick to the script.
• 35:23
  Stick to the script. Oh.
• 35:29
  And I got a Better Together badge as well because I'm
• 35:33
  drinking with the boys tonight. Got the bed.
• 35:35
  That's right, you know you're on with a bury on the ground.
• 35:39
  That's right. So.
• 35:41
  There we go, noise. How's that one work?
• 35:46
  I think if you're checking in and you're tagging people that
• 35:49
  you're drinking with, Oh yeah, you get a Better Together badge
• 35:53
  and I think I'm on. That might be a collab actually.
• 35:58
  Oh, is it? You think it's a collab beer?
• 36:00
  I think it is excellent. Oh yeah, you're right.
• 36:04
  Check in different beers that have been brewed by two or more
• 36:09
  breweries. Collaboration.
• 36:11
  Yeah, you're right. Scott is collab.
• 36:13
  I like the, I like your. I like your response better
• 36:15
  though. You're that's.
• 36:17
  More community focused. On right there should be like AI
• 36:21
  kind of thought a Better Together badge would have been
• 36:23
  like when you're tagging people like with them while you're
• 36:26
  drinking but. It's a social app.
• 36:28
  Yeah, I immediately was thinking that.
• 36:31
  Right. It should be.
• 36:32
  Better Together level 53. Yeah, yeah, there should have a
• 36:39
  badge for it, Yeah. Mitch, I'm sure they do.
• 36:44
  Surely they would, right? Yep.
• 36:47
  So are we all drinking beers tonight that we would rank at
• 36:50
  least a four or? Above.
• 36:51
  That's a good. Question.
• 36:52
  I know I am. 4 club. 4 club since you were dad's. 4 club.
• 36:56
  I know I am. Yeah, while Stabby is definitely
• 37:00
  part of that 4 club. Sissy brunettes.
• 37:02
  They used to have a badge for tagging.
• 37:04
  They might have done away with it.
• 37:05
  I know it was there because I couldn't wait to get rid of that
• 37:08
  one because it was getting tagged someone every time, but
• 37:10
  maybe they got rid of it. Oh, was it tagging like it?
• 37:13
  It was notifying too often. With that was just tagging.
• 37:16
  It was like, oh, I get the spec, you know, it was always leveled
• 37:19
  up like fuck, I can't wait to get can't wait to level out of
• 37:21
  this one. The other one was I taking
• 37:23
  pictures. They might not even exist.
• 37:25
  And I was like, I just started taking pictures of water.
• 37:28
  I couldn't wait to get rid of that fucking.
• 37:29
  I couldn't wait to level out on that thing.
• 37:31
  They it ends at 99, right or? Level hundred 101. 100, yeah.
• 37:39
  Hey guys, I just know this my rating tonight is going to be
• 37:41
  diabolical. Diabolical look.
• 37:48
  Out everybody, it's going to be diabolical.
• 37:51
  Political. Hell yeah they had diabolical
• 37:56
  badge. They've done a one of my one of
• 38:00
  my buddies, Mitch, you know Robert, he's a big like anti hop
• 38:05
  head. He hates Ipas.
• 38:08
  He can do pale ale sometimes, which, you know, pales aren't
• 38:13
  necessarily hoppy all the time they're getting, you know, they
• 38:16
  can be clean, but IPA is definitely not a thing.
• 38:20
  And so every time I every time I get you guys know the hopped up
• 38:24
  badge where it's like beers with an IBU of something or higher.
• 38:28
  We, we've probably all like leveled out of them already.
• 38:31
  So we haven't seen them in years.
• 38:33
  But there was a badge called badge called hopped up, which
• 38:36
  was any, any beer with like 70 or more Ibus, they'd give you a,
• 38:43
  you know, a hopped up badge. So every 5 beers you level up.
• 38:46
  I haven't seen it in years. And I would always be with my
• 38:50
  buddy Robert whenever I would check it and get one of those
• 38:53
  badges. So I'd always rub it in his
• 38:55
  face. Well, one day I didn't know this
• 38:56
  because I'd never gotten a badge before, but he sent me a
• 39:00
  screenshot of a hopped down badge, which basically is beers
• 39:06
  with like an IBU of like 20 or below.
• 39:09
  Like it's really, you know, your basic pale ales and like your
• 39:12
  fruit weed ales and all that kind of stuff.
• 39:15
  So every time he checks in a beer and gets a hot down level
• 39:18
  badge, to this day I get a screenshot and he always sends
• 39:22
  it to me. That badge is still in
• 39:26
  existence. I guess that's.
• 39:28
  Crazy. Rich, when did you join on tap?
• 39:31
  What year was it? Steve, I believe it was October
• 39:36
  of 2011. Many moments ago.
• 39:39
  Yep, October 3rd, 2011. So 11, almost 6, almost 15 years
• 39:47
  ago. Years.
• 39:49
  Ago. Wow.
• 39:50
  Are you? So when you when you first
• 39:53
  started doing that, were you consistent in checking in or was
• 39:57
  it just every once in a while? I feel like I'm I'm like most
• 40:01
  beer drinkers who get untapped that want to document their
• 40:05
  journey, not necessarily do it because they're with friends who
• 40:11
  downloaded and use untapped right.
• 40:13
  Those guys normally check in a few times and then they forget
• 40:16
  about it on their phone or uninstall it or whatever.
• 40:19
  I downloaded it so that I could like you guys, start like.
• 40:25
  First of all, I wanted to keep a record of what I've had so that
• 40:27
  I can understand what I like. So that when I went back to the
• 40:31
  store and I found something, if I've had it and I really enjoyed
• 40:34
  it, but it was a while back I liked it, I would pick it up
• 40:37
  again. I'm not, I haven't been one of
• 40:39
  those guys that's like, oh, I've already had it.
• 40:42
  I don't want to have it again. If I'm at a place that has a ton
• 40:46
  of new beers, I will favor trying ones that I have not had
• 40:51
  before. All right.
• 40:52
  But just like everybody on this call, like we've been to Mr.
• 40:56
  Brews and they have a phenomenal beer list.
• 41:01
  We've probably had 75% of them. Yeah.
• 41:05
  And so when I can't find something that I haven't had,
• 41:09
  I'm not just going to be like, oh, they don't have anything.
• 41:12
  I look for something that I know is good or I'll check my
• 41:15
  untapped if I've had it to see how I liked it and if I really
• 41:18
  liked it, I will order that beer.
• 41:20
  Yeah. So my unique check in count is
• 41:24
  is 5000 but my actually I haven't refreshed my page since
• 41:29
  I checked it in it was still shown on the website 4999.
• 41:34
  I'm about 7000 total check insurance, so multiple
• 41:41
  duplicates. Yeah.
• 41:42
  Oh yeah. Ryan just said something.
• 41:45
  It's really funny and it's and it's 100% true.
• 41:47
  Untapped is my backup beer brain.
• 41:49
  It's 1000% sure. Without that, I wouldn't know
• 41:52
  it. I even had this beer.
• 41:53
  Ever. He's right.
• 41:56
  Outside of Bud Light or. Something that way you'll go
• 41:58
  into a place and you'll go, I think, wait, wait a minute.
• 42:02
  And because we always want to drink something new, I think all
• 42:05
  of us on this on here can basically say that we want to
• 42:09
  drink something new. That's my first.
• 42:12
  That's my first check. I don't know where I was just
• 42:15
  recently and I'm going, shoot, I had that.
• 42:17
  I had that, I had, oh, I had, damn it.
• 42:19
  OK, now I'm going to get something new on there because
• 42:21
  I've already had that and you know, I'll get it again if I
• 42:25
  rank it high. But it's like the point of it.
• 42:28
  I want to have something new. Steve yeah, when I check.
• 42:33
  Oh, go ahead, Steve. Will you?
• 42:35
  Like when you had a beer and you'd be like, oh, that sounds
• 42:38
  familiar, but I don't know if we've had it before.
• 42:40
  Like, will you pull up untapped and, like, go look it up and
• 42:44
  realize you had it like, five years ago?
• 42:47
  Like, yeah, on a taster flight in Asheville, NC, or something.
• 42:51
  Yeah, I didn't even know this beer made it out of the city at
• 42:54
  that point. Or wherever.
• 42:55
  Yeah, well, we've also talked about this, actually, myself and
• 42:59
  Scott and Chris Finn, and we've talked about this on podcast
• 43:02
  episodes and probably with you guys too.
• 43:04
  Like sometimes it's fun to to go back to a beer you checked in
• 43:07
  five years ago and maybe you didn't rank it that high to see
• 43:11
  if maybe because your palate has changed and you now rank it
• 43:15
  higher. Off the top of my head, I can't
• 43:17
  think of, I can't think of something off the top of my head
• 43:20
  right now, but I know there's at least probably 5 or 6 that that
• 43:25
  over the past year or so I've gone back and I've had again and
• 43:28
  I've ranked higher and that makes me real feel happy that
• 43:31
  that makes me really happy about that.
• 43:32
  Man, I wonder. What style of the beers were
• 43:35
  they? Yeah, A.
• 43:38
  Good question. You know what I would have to
• 43:41
  say? They probably were like the West
• 43:43
  Coast IPA styles. You just.
• 43:45
  Yeah, OK, that makes sense. Yeah.
• 43:48
  Because I got on a, because I got on more of a kick of West
• 43:51
  Coast Ipas. I hadn't liked them.
• 43:53
  I didn't like that style. I hadn't really drank them that
• 43:56
  much. And then when I got on the kick
• 43:57
  last summer and I was like, all right.
• 43:59
  And then so the the one that really the one that really comes
• 44:04
  to mind, of course is Great Lakes, the Midwest hazy.
• 44:08
  Oh yeah. Or not the hazy, but the Midwest
• 44:11
  IPA which I had ranked like 2 years prior, maybe like a 3.5 O
• 44:17
  or something and if I drank it now it'd be a. 4.
• 44:20
  That beer is way better than a 3.5 to me today.
• 44:23
  I agree. Yeah, but like 2 years ago,
• 44:25
  three years ago, it just wasn't my style of beer that I really
• 44:28
  want to go to for me. I was the same way to a hop
• 44:31
  slam. Yeah.
• 44:33
  Ah, that's Mitch. So Mitch, you had checked in Hop
• 44:38
  slam lower initially? Well, just Ipas in general slam
• 44:45
  open me up. Yeah, it it the profile was so
• 44:49
  strong or prevalent or whatever, it just kind of like gave me
• 44:52
  notice like hop profiles are here, you know, because we don't
• 44:56
  get Pliny regularly here to really know.
• 44:58
  But for whatever reason, other Ipas just didn't fit my palate
• 45:04
  until I just got bombarded with the profile with Hop Slam, and
• 45:09
  then later Dogfish won 20, which I think was your IPA that got
• 45:14
  you into it, right, Rich? Yep, 120.
• 45:18
  It was either. It was definitely 120 and I
• 45:23
  think. That's crazy to me.
• 45:25
  Yeah, well, that was the that was the first IPA that I had
• 45:29
  liked. I had tried my one of my former
• 45:34
  managers was a big IPA guy and he turned me on to Stone had a
• 45:39
  beer back in the day. Of course they have Stone
• 45:41
  Ruination, which is still available today.
• 45:44
  It's their new recipes. Ruination 2 point O is what they
• 45:47
  call it. Prior to that, it was just
• 45:49
  called Stone Ruination. It was an old recipe.
• 45:51
  And when Ruination hit their ten year anniversary, they came out
• 45:55
  with Stone Ruined 10, which was double the hot profile with the
• 45:58
  same ingredients and everything else.
• 46:00
  And it was like face peeling Poppy.
• 46:04
  And I remember I was at I was in my house in Hermitage.
• 46:07
  I was on the phone with him that night, my manager and I was
• 46:10
  like, I'm about to try this IPA. I've never had an IPA before.
• 46:13
  And I tried Stone ruin 10. I drank it and I almost threw
• 46:17
  up. I was like, this beer is if this
• 46:19
  is what Ipas are like, this is terrible because it is 200 plus
• 46:23
  Ipus. It's extremely disgusting.
• 46:26
  Get this away from me. Let let me.
• 46:28
  I'm never want to have it again. But yeah.
• 46:31
  And then it wasn't too long after that DJ had introduced me
• 46:34
  to 120 Minute IPA and I was like, Nope, not doing it.
• 46:38
  I don't. I've had, I've had big boy Ipas
• 46:42
  and I don't like them. Like I just, it's just not my
• 46:44
  thing. But 120 Mitch, you know, is
• 46:47
  different, right? It's, it's definitely more like,
• 46:51
  I think it's the higher, it's the 17% ABV.
• 46:54
  It comes across a sweeter instead of still happier, but
• 46:58
  it's not as bitter. Yeah.
• 47:00
  And that's kind of what got me into into Ipas.
• 47:03
  I was like, OK, so if Ipas are like this, then I'll be OK,
• 47:07
  which they're not, by the way. They're nowhere close to 120
• 47:11
  Minute IPA. Right.
• 47:14
  No, but once you've had what you've had like really, really
• 47:18
  sweet and really, really hoppy, it's like cigars, right, Mitch?
• 47:21
  You'll be like, I've had this big boy.
• 47:24
  So it's like Rhino with his big ring gauge stars.
• 47:27
  It's like you have the the biggest, the heaviest, the
• 47:29
  strongest you can think of. And then you go, OK, I'm going
• 47:32
  to go down a little bit more and find the sweet spot.
• 47:34
  For me. It's New England hazies, but you
• 47:38
  know, West coasts. I I love a good West Coast IPA
• 47:42
  too, which Scott you're right, doesn't exist on Untapped as a
• 47:47
  style. Couldn't believe it.
• 47:48
  I that's wild to me. American Ipas is how they
• 47:52
  classify 8000. Other Ipas?
• 47:55
  Really. Confusing to me.
• 47:57
  I had, I had to get clarification from that last
• 48:00
  year because it's like, wow, I don't understand that either
• 48:03
  because I'm drinking all these West Coast Ipas, but it's but
• 48:07
  it's classified as American. But then you have to go in and
• 48:10
  you have to sit there and decipher what exactly you're
• 48:14
  getting you're you're rating in is, is this the West Coast IPA
• 48:18
  or it's an American IPA? Because as you said, the style
• 48:21
  is actually different. But they don't, they don't, they
• 48:24
  don't differentiate on on tap. That is really odd.
• 48:29
  Any other IPA category, it's there.
• 48:31
  West Coast, isn't it? Makes no fucking sense.
• 48:34
  Honestly, yeah. Yeah, they break down.
• 48:38
  They break down all kinds of different styles on, on, on,
• 48:42
  tapped. I mean, you know, you've got all
• 48:45
  the, all the a lot, a lot of the other different ones and you
• 48:50
  just go, OK, why, why are you not having this one sale?
• 48:54
  Yeah. Weird.
• 48:55
  It's weird. Loggers.
• 48:57
  Yeah, they have, you know, they have like 20 different logger
• 48:59
  sections. But yeah, we can't put a West
• 49:02
  Coast IPA in there. That doesn't make any sense to
• 49:04
  me. So just checking in and the beer
• 49:07
  name itself has West Coast it never.
• 49:09
  Made me think to. Check the actual style check in.
• 49:13
  Thank you. Same.
• 49:15
  It's basically there's an IPA. You know, so the only reason I
• 49:18
  realized that today was I was literally checking in a beer
• 49:20
  that didn't exist and untapped today from from Tailgate.
• 49:24
  And apparently it's the first one I've ever created that was a
• 49:28
  West Coast IPA. Because I'm like, anyway, what I
• 49:31
  did is I went back and I checked and it looked at other beers
• 49:35
  that I know are West Coast style Ipas that have, I've checked in
• 49:37
  and they're on a tap and they all said American Ipas, every
• 49:40
  single one of them. And I was like, well, fine.
• 49:42
  I guess that's the thing. I couldn't believe it.
• 49:44
  Scott, out of curiosity, which one?
• 49:47
  What beer is it that you made? I didn't see it come.
• 49:49
  Across it was a. Pinch of pine.
• 49:52
  Oh, OK, there it is. Yeah.
• 49:54
  Yep. How I missed that one was the.
• 49:57
  Last one, That was the last one I checked in.
• 50:00
  Yeah, you said. Did you know there isn't a West
• 50:02
  Coast IPA style? On it blew my mind.
• 50:05
  I haunted for that thing. I got out of untapped and went
• 50:07
  back. I attend tapped.
• 50:08
  I got back out, I feel. Like you didn't like you put
• 50:12
  the, you put the ABV on it like you did everything.
• 50:16
  You know, you should go ahead and make a Reddit post about
• 50:19
  this with a very underground tag and just get some traffic for
• 50:24
  this discovery because you. Should.
• 50:27
  Yeah, like I, I bet you like it presented like as a challenge,
• 50:32
  right? I guarantee you, you think
• 50:34
  there's a way. If you'd asked me an hour and a
• 50:37
  half ago if there's a West Coast, I'd be like, yeah, fuck
• 50:40
  yeah, there is, Yes. Why wouldn't there be?
• 50:43
  Why stupid? The threat is like just
• 50:46
  discovered today after however many years.
• 50:48
  West Coast has been a style that's not listed as not listed
• 50:52
  identifiable. Check in on untapped and I'm
• 50:55
  fixing it. Yeah, ask me anything.
• 51:02
  You can look at the logger category and the AL category and
• 51:05
  everything else and I'll have all those, but yet we can't have
• 51:10
  from West Coast IPA that. Doesn't How many untapped
• 51:13
  monitors do we have? You know, it's, I didn't need
• 51:17
  one more thing. I didn't need one more thing to
• 51:20
  do, but I might just have to do it.
• 51:24
  I've been thinking about it since we all talked to Sean
• 51:26
  Jones, and I might need to. I might need to get involved.
• 51:29
  Sean Jones now how many? How many check insurance does he
• 51:32
  have? And he's approaching 50. 1000.
• 51:35
  He was over. He was over 50,000 when we
• 51:38
  talked to him. Yeah.
• 51:40
  So rich. And tell him that he reached
• 51:43
  5000. He reached 5000, I think in a
• 51:46
  day, remember. Yeah, I asked him that question.
• 51:48
  I asked him a question. How many?
• 51:50
  How many beers Have you ever checked in a day?
• 51:52
  He was like, I've been 120 or or something like.
• 51:57
  That he'd probably be like, yeah, congratulations on
• 51:59
  graduating kindergarten, Rich. He literally, we were sitting
• 52:04
  there talking to him. I know.
• 52:05
  We went around like 2 hours. He was literally getting texts
• 52:08
  from his friends. Like motherfucker, where are
• 52:10
  you? Yeah, what are you doing?
• 52:12
  We're out drinking beer. Where are you?
• 52:14
  Like we cut into his number, I think.
• 52:17
  I will, I will say when I went to Dark Lord Day this past year,
• 52:22
  one of one of the buddies that we met, DJ met him while he was
• 52:29
  drinking beers in New York and they just kind of kept up with
• 52:32
  each other. They were sending packet beer
• 52:33
  packages back and forth. He wanted the Nashville stuff
• 52:37
  and he was sending DJ the New York stuff.
• 52:39
  And so they kind of kept that relationship.
• 52:41
  And then when, you know, Dark Lord Day came around this year,
• 52:44
  he went and met up with us. He's an untapped moderator as
• 52:48
  well. So we'll, we'll definitely do it
• 52:50
  offline, not on the happy hour, but there was definitely some
• 52:54
  things that he had talked about that probably shouldn't be
• 52:58
  public information, but we had a few too many beers that night.
• 53:01
  So it kind of came out and he started just kind of like
• 53:04
  spilling the beans about like the inner workings of Untapped
• 53:08
  and how things are ranked and things like that.
• 53:10
  And I was like, that's interesting.
• 53:13
  And they can, I guess, without giving, they can technically
• 53:16
  claw back some of your beer counts if they if they find that
• 53:20
  you're abusing the privilege. So it may not be at 5000 at the
• 53:24
  end of the night. Who knows, maybe they'll be like
• 53:26
  you. Know.
• 53:27
  Doesn't deserve 5000. Let's just take a couple away
• 53:30
  from them. First of all, we're recognizing
• 53:33
  you as having 5000, so we. Are that's what matters.
• 53:36
  That's what matters. If there's a moderator out
• 53:39
  there, we're not taking shit off the board.
• 53:41
  Punch them in the face because you can put in.
• 53:43
  You can literally put in Diet Coke in this motherfucker right
• 53:45
  now. So I know don't be taking my
• 53:47
  shit off the board. But that's kind of that's kind
• 53:51
  of why a lot of the moderators are kind of acting like the way
• 53:54
  Sean did, right? And it's like, I mean, like
• 53:56
  every once in a while do it. They're not getting paid to do
• 53:59
  it, right? They get they get a free
• 54:01
  untapped insider subscription, but that's it.
• 54:04
  So and same with this guy. He was just like, yeah, you
• 54:07
  know, like it's I'm not as active on there as I used to be.
• 54:11
  They just don't it. There's no incentive anymore.
• 54:14
  And the way the rules are skewed and bent towards bigger
• 54:16
  companies and organizations, it's like it's a losing battle.
• 54:21
  Yeah, it, yeah, it's literally, hey, you're trying to police it,
• 54:24
  trying to keep the numbers kind of pure, right, Trying to keep
• 54:26
  them. And then it's like, well, my all
• 54:28
  my efforts over here are going to waste because I'm not even
• 54:32
  moving to need I. Yeah.
• 54:35
  Scott likes the. The check ends are pure.
• 54:38
  I don't. I haven't.
• 54:39
  I haven't got this text message lately.
• 54:41
  A few years ago. It's like, hey, you know that
• 54:44
  check in on that beer? Yeah.
• 54:46
  You've been doing a good job. The wrong ones.
• 54:52
  He's been doing a. Good though want to be pure, I'm
• 54:54
  like OK. Keeping you honest buddy.
• 54:57
  I did. I did see you missed one, but
• 54:59
  not long ago. But I let it go.
• 55:01
  I did which? One did I miss.
• 55:05
  It was one of the Saranac ones I gave you.
• 55:09
  Oh, that's even worse man. Where you're you're checking it.
• 55:12
  You don't check in a beer that your buddy gave you did.
• 55:15
  I because I you, you checked in the wrong one.
• 55:19
  Yep, because you checked. I was like and I know it's, I
• 55:22
  know it's the wrong one because he checked in one I had had and
• 55:24
  I gave it to him so. No.
• 55:29
  I let it go. I let it go.
• 55:31
  You should have called me, I would have corrected it.
• 55:34
  It's OK. How long ago was this?
• 55:37
  Have you been holding on to this for a while?
• 55:39
  Maybe. What's that?
• 55:40
  Two months? Maybe when we were talking to
• 55:41
  Sarah? Can't.
• 55:43
  Remember it it's. Stuck in my car right here.
• 55:49
  It wasn't the right one. When Steve approaches 2025
• 55:52
  hundred, I'm like, you're going to need one more.
• 55:54
  You know, normally, yeah. Because normally, normally
• 55:57
  anymore, man, I do. I do drastic research.
• 56:00
  I'm like, OK, I got to make sure I got everything down here.
• 56:05
  Yeah, of course. I'm surprised like, like you
• 56:07
  checked it in. I had, I had it.
• 56:08
  I'm surprised you didn't be like, you weren't like I've had
• 56:11
  a beer. You hadn't had.
• 56:12
  I'm like Steven, I got a variety pack.
• 56:15
  I it's not the variety pack. Damn it, I must have been in a
• 56:20
  hurry. I let it go.
• 56:21
  I let it go. Really.
• 56:23
  I'll check. There's a there's a few people
• 56:25
  that I'll look at on on tap and I'm just kind of curious.
• 56:28
  I'm like that Scott Rich, you know, Stokes, a few other people
• 56:33
  just like, am I consistent on their ratings?
• 56:36
  Not necessarily, but if also have you had it, you know?
• 56:40
  Have you had it? Also, but Matt and Ryan now are
• 56:43
  going to be, they're going to be checking your check insurance
• 56:45
  too. He just said open your checking
• 56:48
  account. Steve's checklist.
• 56:51
  Make sure he checks them in right Ryan?
• 56:54
  For the love of God, we got to be accurate.
• 56:58
  Well, Mad Ryder drinking one beer and you're all sharing one
• 57:00
  beer and you're checking something else.
• 57:04
  It doesn't happen you. Can't have fewer check insurance
• 57:07
  than the guy that's checking in a monster you drink every day.
• 57:11
  Hey, my defense though, it doesn't happen very often.
• 57:14
  No, no, it's fine. Look at that Sam Adams summer L
• 57:17
  Pretty correct, you know. Like that's.
• 57:20
  That's hard to mess that one up, but you got to be real.
• 57:22
  You got to be really, really bad to mess up, like checking in in
• 57:26
  like a Sam out of summer ale. I screwed that one up.
• 57:31
  The only way you can screw it up is if somebody pushed like a
• 57:33
  2026 or something next. That's true.
• 57:35
  No, it's like. I knew that was gonna happen.
• 57:39
  Leave the year alone. So we're gonna have to start
• 57:43
  sneaking in like QR codes stuck on to other bottles just to make
• 57:48
  us go check in with that or whenever, Yeah.
• 57:51
  That's. Good.
• 57:52
  The other thing too is it if you go somewhere and even like a Mr.
• 57:56
  Brook anything and it's it's on their menu.
• 57:58
  If it's on their untapped menu, even if it's wrong, you can't
• 58:03
  argue against it like, hey, it's on their thing.
• 58:05
  I'm doing it like so I take. I I I revert back to my 2025
• 58:12
  celebration ammo when Mr. Bruce had had the 2024 up there.
• 58:17
  You know what's right? I was like, no.
• 58:20
  So I went in, I found the 2025, checked it in at Mr. Bruce,
• 58:26
  purchased at Mr. Bruce, and then I was, I got a text later on
• 58:32
  that night and it was like, did we have the right one up on the
• 58:34
  board? I was like Nope.
• 58:38
  I've told Deep South growlers there recently like that's the
• 58:41
  wrong beer, like you got the wrong one on the board, It's the
• 58:43
  wrong thing on the. Board.
• 58:46
  Yeah, I. Had a Deep South, You had a
• 58:47
  beard. Deep South growlers the other
• 58:49
  night that looked really good. The Mill Creek.
• 58:52
  ESB, yeah, it was the ESB was you doubt how was your rating on
• 58:58
  that? 4 plus I don't know 4142
• 59:01
  probably we knew it was coming and I'd had a sample of it when
• 59:05
  I was there the last time I was there like it actually had left
• 59:10
  them a can so I. Could try it out.
• 59:12
  It's out officially now. So yeah, the ESP find that Mill
• 59:16
  Creek ESP, it is good. I still need to, I, I need to
• 59:21
  get back on that Mill Creek train because there are turning
• 59:27
  themselves around, I guess. Are comedies beers?
• 59:30
  I just had their PB and J recently.
• 59:33
  They got a PB. And J, now what do they call it,
• 59:35
  Steve? Yeah.
• 59:38
  What do they call their PB and JS?
• 59:41
  I thought look it up. No PB and J.
• 59:45
  Yeah. Sounds about right, Mitch.
• 59:51
  Hey channel on tap, Good day from Australia.
• 59:54
  Cheers mate. Australia check.
• 59:56
  Yeah, man. Thanks for thanks for joining in
• 59:59
  man. This is.
• 59:59
  Awesome. Cheers.
• 1:00:01
  Cheers, good to see you're not on Smoko and you're here with us
• 1:00:06
  Drinko. It's a.
• 1:00:10
  It's the. It's the Chats song, man.
• 1:00:12
  I don't know. It gets in my head every once in
• 1:00:15
  a while where they go on smoke. Oh, it's a smoke break.
• 1:00:17
  Yeah, OK. Yeah, it's by the way, that's
• 1:00:21
  that's. It's I'm just done sometimes.
• 1:00:24
  Where it's like you have to be, you have to be in and know in
• 1:00:28
  order to get some of them. Rich, to answer your question,
• 1:00:31
  it's the PB and J Sour from Mill Creek.
• 1:00:34
  OK. Yeah, I think tailgate calls
• 1:00:37
  theirs snacks, I think because they happen to be experienced or
• 1:00:41
  something like that. Yeah, the snack series.
• 1:00:45
  Speaking of tomorrow night, I'll be at tailgate headquarters
• 1:00:51
  tomorrow night. They're doing a there's a data
• 1:00:55
  data engineering meet up group where they, they posted
• 1:01:00
  something out there because I'm in, I'm in finance reporting,
• 1:01:02
  but I'm a data engineering guy, you know, by, by heart.
• 1:01:06
  And so a bunch of the data guys are meeting up tomorrow night at
• 1:01:09
  tailgate headquarters in Nashville.
• 1:01:12
  And they're going to have a couple of speakers there.
• 1:01:15
  They're going to be talking about like data in different
• 1:01:19
  platforms and softwares and stuff like that.
• 1:01:21
  And they'll just be drinking tailgate beer, eating tailgate
• 1:01:24
  pizza, and talking ones and zeros.
• 1:01:28
  Hey man, whatever gets the data in.
• 1:01:30
  Hey, whatever, floats What? No, I was going to be too much,
• 1:01:36
  too deep of a cut. Whatever types your code.
• 1:01:41
  What bitch? Whatever types your code.
• 1:01:45
  By that point, you'll be at your 5000 what, 10th beer at Mill
• 1:01:49
  Creek by the time you get there. Or not so.
• 1:01:52
  That No. You think that I could drink 10
• 1:01:55
  beer? It took me.
• 1:01:56
  It took me. How long did it take me?
• 1:01:59
  When did you? Start the countdown, Scott.
• 1:02:01
  You're like before it was Dark Lord Day.
• 1:02:03
  You're like, you're easily going to hit that like 14.
• 1:02:08
  I think I got to like 12 or 13 shy of 5000.
• 1:02:13
  Scott was like, well, then next week he'll hit it and it was
• 1:02:16
  like, no, it was it's been a month.
• 1:02:20
  Come on, Rich, I'm just giving you some expectations you.
• 1:02:23
  Know. Your expectation level, but I
• 1:02:26
  think your expectation level is so.
• 1:02:28
  You're you're, you're, you're expecting me to hit 5010
• 1:02:32
  tomorrow. Night.
• 1:02:32
  I have confidence that you can do it.
• 1:02:35
  Now my floodgates are open. You're not.
• 1:02:37
  You've got. Knowing what you've done before,
• 1:02:42
  I know you can do it. When you look up, well, you're
• 1:02:46
  like one day you'll be at like 5100 like, well, that was easy,
• 1:02:49
  you know? It's like the flight gates are.
• 1:02:51
  Open now. You're not holding back for
• 1:02:52
  anything. You're not waiting for that 5
• 1:02:54
  thousandths. Yeah, 5100, like next Wednesday.
• 1:02:58
  That's true. It's like a week from now,
• 1:03:00
  Steve. Yeah, it's gotta be like 5100.
• 1:03:04
  He's. I will say.
• 1:03:06
  Like look at that. Can't stop him.
• 1:03:11
  The. Batch.
• 1:03:12
  Levels, I'm going to look these up because like they get they
• 1:03:15
  get astronomically stupid. Like the more you go.
• 1:03:20
  So like, see if I'm looking at badges, drink badges.
• 1:03:27
  Epic is. 5000 obviously they have one for like when you get
• 1:03:33
  your your first beer check in there's like 1 and then there's
• 1:03:37
  25 and then 50 and then 100 and then from 100 it goes to like
• 1:03:43
  250 right? At that point you're still like
• 1:03:47
  getting lots of badges as you're checking them in 250, then
• 1:03:51
  double S to 500 which is a big leap from 2:50 to 500
• 1:03:57
  considering you used to go from like 10 to 25 to 50 to 100 to
• 1:04:05
  250. Now you're doubling the 5000 and
• 1:04:08
  then it goes to 5000 or to 500 to 1000 and then you don't get
• 1:04:14
  another badge until 2500 and then you don't get that next
• 1:04:19
  badge until 5000. I am pretty sure the next tier
• 1:04:24
  is 10K. It is pretty sure.
• 1:04:27
  Is it OK? There's no 7500.
• 1:04:29
  There's no. There's it took me 15 years to
• 1:04:33
  get to this point and I don't think I'm going to be speeding
• 1:04:38
  up from here. I I feel like they should give
• 1:04:40
  you something for every 1 thousand. 1000 beers is a
• 1:04:43
  fucking lot of beers. I feel like that's a good idea.
• 1:04:45
  Some kind of, you know, leveled up to another thing, whatever
• 1:04:48
  they want to call it. Scott, you can help Rich.
• 1:04:51
  Maybe you could have a beer for him and then you could check it
• 1:04:55
  in or something. There we go, Rich can have the
• 1:05:00
  ones I've already had. Yeah, we'll just, we'll just
• 1:05:04
  trade beer. You don't want you don't want my
• 1:05:06
  leftovers. I don't I guess the the fun
• 1:05:11
  thing about unique beer counts and truly getting to 5000 is
• 1:05:17
  this was this was the most honest way I could have ever
• 1:05:23
  played a game. Like I've there could have been
• 1:05:26
  opportunities, as cheesy as it sounds, there could have been
• 1:05:28
  opportunities be like, I'm going to drink it, but not check it
• 1:05:31
  in. Like I've obviously done that
• 1:05:33
  before, but when I got conscious about getting close, I I haven't
• 1:05:38
  gotten to that point. Like what's on what's in my
• 1:05:40
  fridge and what's on my Tabor list right now are beers that
• 1:05:44
  are in my fridge are on my Tabor list.
• 1:05:46
  I have not consumed them yet. Yeah, and you talk about 5000
• 1:05:50
  but once, but when you getting when you're 15102 thousand 2500
• 1:05:54
  beers in, you're like I'm fucking committed to this thing.
• 1:05:58
  I'm here. Like I'm like I don't want to
• 1:06:00
  miss any. I don't you know, I want to
• 1:06:01
  make, you know, have a duplicate.
• 1:06:04
  You might not care but to get a new one like I'm shit, I want to
• 1:06:07
  make sure I get this. God, you getting like 50 beers
• 1:06:10
  in here all of a sudden you're go.
• 1:06:11
  I don't think I'm committed to this.
• 1:06:12
  I'm committed, yeah. I'm at 15 now, it's time to keep
• 1:06:16
  rolling it. Like I'm, I'm invested.
• 1:06:20
  I want all the credit. I want all the new check in.
• 1:06:24
  I want all the new check insurance.
• 1:06:26
  So by next Wednesday, the goal is to have, what is it, 51
• 1:06:33
  between now and next week. That would have to be that seven
• 1:06:37
  days that I would have to drink 15 beers a day.
• 1:06:45
  Oh wow. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
• 1:06:47
  Got it. Which is only like 3 beers a
• 1:06:50
  meal Mitch. You can do tasters.
• 1:06:53
  Tasters are OK. Tasters are OK.
• 1:06:56
  Go out, go out, get yourself, get yourself some oatmeal stouts
• 1:07:03
  for breakfast. There you go.
• 1:07:05
  Yeah. Some Esps and pilsners for
• 1:07:07
  lunch. Yeah.
• 1:07:09
  Stouts and Ipas for dinner. Yeah, you know.
• 1:07:12
  Couple fruited sours so you get your fruit in.
• 1:07:17
  Breakfast champion Steve? Yeah.
• 1:07:19
  I think you can have a diet of beer for a few months and lose
• 1:07:23
  at least 15 lbs but feel. Great the whole time.
• 1:07:26
  That's pretty true. Feel crazy.
• 1:07:29
  I I. Genuinely, have you ever tried
• 1:07:31
  that? And like, I could, I could, I
• 1:07:34
  could drink my calorie limited beer, I'd be full on a daily
• 1:07:37
  basis. The problem is drinking beer on
• 1:07:41
  top of the food I already eat. That's the problem.
• 1:07:43
  But if if you were to just be a liquid diet, which is no doubt I
• 1:07:48
  could do, I mean a beer is what on average 250 calories?
• 1:07:52
  And. How many kegs a week do we need?
• 1:07:59
  Because there's no cans in this process, we.
• 1:08:01
  Know. Yeah, you.
• 1:08:03
  Yeah, you. You can't be slowed down by
• 1:08:05
  packaging. Any consistency here?
• 1:08:08
  We're speaking volumes, consistent consistency.
• 1:08:12
  Weekends we get special treats. Right.
• 1:08:16
  You hook that damn tap handle to a hose.
• 1:08:21
  Go for. It So does the city provide this
• 1:08:24
  or am I going to have to? I think the quarter of the night
• 1:08:29
  is the quarter of the night is. You can't be slowed down by
• 1:08:32
  package day. Fuck those cans.
• 1:08:38
  Fuck those cans. The worst of the bottle is you
• 1:08:42
  got to take the goddamn cap off of it and everything.
• 1:08:44
  Yeah, and if they're wax covered too, like, come on, man, don't
• 1:08:47
  get. I don't need another.
• 1:08:48
  It's like that Pepperidge Farm bread where you like it's
• 1:08:51
  wrapped twice. You know?
• 1:08:54
  I don't. I don't whatever Mitch Hedberg
• 1:08:56
  says. I don't once you unwrap that
• 1:08:58
  shit and it still ain't open. Yeah, that's right.
• 1:09:02
  And then you've got the finger traps on the European beers,
• 1:09:05
  that's all. Oh yeah, that is.
• 1:09:06
  Right. Would all these sourfrooded
• 1:09:09
  beers get you through the day? I mean.
• 1:09:16
  I don't know, like if they're, if they're fruited sours, then
• 1:09:20
  surely they've got to have like some sort of like good for you
• 1:09:24
  ingredients in it, right? Because I mean, most fruited
• 1:09:27
  sours are generally flavored because of fruit.
• 1:09:31
  Yeah. Salads.
• 1:09:36
  Salads, Ipas because of hops and barley.
• 1:09:40
  So there's your. Vegetables.
• 1:09:42
  Take your wheat beers. Get your wheat beers for
• 1:09:45
  breakfast. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:48
  Steve and I did a podcast the other morning at 10 AM and shit,
• 1:09:52
  I had, I had, I had, I had mix tape because it was fucking
• 1:09:56
  fruit juice. So what the?
• 1:09:58
  Heck, did I drink on that one? I don't remember.
• 1:10:01
  Juice. 10 AM. Please tell me the people you're
• 1:10:04
  talking to were on Eastern Time. They were in Hungary.
• 1:10:08
  Yeah, they were Budapest. Hungary.
• 1:10:11
  OK, what the heck did I? What the heck was I?
• 1:10:13
  5:00 in the afternoon. I I had a tool, Yeah, I had a
• 1:10:19
  New England IPA from. Ghostface Steve.
• 1:10:24
  Steve fully committed there. I'm like, just go for it. 10:00
• 1:10:27
  It's a Sunday. What the hell do I?
• 1:10:29
  Care, that's true. I'm not going anywhere today,
• 1:10:32
  that's true. Why is our stigma that says
• 1:10:34
  drinking before noon is bad? Steven I got up early and
• 1:10:37
  worked. It worked out and then.
• 1:10:40
  I did actually. I got up early that day.
• 1:10:42
  I was like, I need to go to work out.
• 1:10:44
  I'm not going to work out after this podcast.
• 1:10:47
  No, I got up in like 7 o'clock and I went to my gym and I came
• 1:10:50
  home and I'm like, fine, I'm not going anywhere else today.
• 1:10:53
  I will drink this whatever it was.
• 1:10:56
  Probably 7 or 8 New England hazy.
• 1:10:59
  What? The fuck?
• 1:11:00
  What was it you had? It was from Zul.
• 1:11:03
  Oh, it was Zul. OK.
• 1:11:05
  I think it was from Zul, yeah. Man, yeah, when your blood
• 1:11:08
  vessels are just restricted, it's the best time to drink
• 1:11:15
  like. The most right man.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah, I know that from very much so.
• 1:11:20
  When you just get to the point where you like, what does it
• 1:11:22
  really matter? At this point?
• 1:11:24
  It's a Sunday. I'm not working, you know, I'm
• 1:11:27
  just doing a podcast. I literally, I literally like
• 1:11:31
  had when we hit the record button, I was finishing my
• 1:11:35
  coffee over here and cracking the beer.
• 1:11:38
  I swear to God. Both were on the table at the
• 1:11:40
  same time. Oh, and also, and also let us
• 1:11:43
  say that it was 5:00 where he was.
• 1:11:47
  So we were basically, you know what?
• 1:11:50
  I was in his time zone. I was ready.
• 1:11:53
  I was ready. I was participating.
• 1:11:56
  I was in the moment. It wasn't 10:00 where I was, it
• 1:11:59
  was 5:00. That's right. 5:00 somewhere.
• 1:12:02
  Literally, yeah. Like every hour is 5:00.
• 1:12:04
  It's fine. Yep.
• 1:12:05
  Yeah. Anyway.
• 1:12:10
  Scott, why were you drinking coffee at 5:00 in the afternoon?
• 1:12:15
  Oh, he flipped those tables on you, Scott I.
• 1:12:19
  Didn't expect him to call me out like that but I don't have an
• 1:12:21
  answer. It's a rarity.
• 1:12:24
  It's a rarity. You usually call me out.
• 1:12:26
  I don't have an answer for that one.
• 1:12:27
  Damn. And let's and let's be fair,
• 1:12:30
  like are time zones really like a real thing?
• 1:12:34
  Like, come on. Like it's like, is it 10:00 or
• 1:12:37
  is it 5:00? Yeah, that we can all be the
• 1:12:41
  same time. We would just adapt to whatever
• 1:12:43
  that time is. It's like, yeah, it's just
• 1:12:45
  almost like like in Australia right now, like it's it's winter
• 1:12:47
  for them, even though like I would never, I can't imagine
• 1:12:50
  June being winter, you know what I mean?
• 1:12:52
  Like like yeah, associated. Well, and I think the farthest,
• 1:12:55
  the furthest time zone from us, he's not Australia.
• 1:13:00
  I think it's Auckland which is usually like 14 hours ahead of
• 1:13:06
  us. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:09
  Yeah. If you look at like Auckland,
• 1:13:11
  which I think is like an island or something.
• 1:13:13
  Right. Now it's 916 here.
• 1:13:16
  It's probably like 4:00 in the afternoon on Wednesday there or
• 1:13:20
  something. Yeah, it's a full day.
• 1:13:22
  Yep. Time zones make about as much
• 1:13:25
  sense to me as Celsius to Fahrenheit does.
• 1:13:28
  I know. Yeah, or the mechanism.
• 1:13:31
  Like when people like it's so warm outside it's 5° like what
• 1:13:36
  the fuck are you talking? About.
• 1:13:40
  You know how stupid you sound right now?
• 1:13:45
  Now, if you were to be like, it's freezing outside, it's -12
• 1:13:47
  would be like, damn right it's freezing outside right now.
• 1:13:50
  But like, if it's hot outside and it's 12, yeah, come on.
• 1:13:54
  That's not even a real unit of measure.
• 1:13:56
  What's funny is we talked to the guy from Budapest the other day
• 1:14:01
  and you can tell like they have to explain things to Americans,
• 1:14:06
  like, you know what I mean? Like, OK, this is Celsius.
• 1:14:10
  We forget the rest of the world works on Celsius.
• 1:14:12
  You guys don't. It's like you guys are the
• 1:14:15
  problem. Like it?
• 1:14:16
  Really. Is it really is?
• 1:14:19
  It's totally us that's the problem.
• 1:14:21
  My entire team at my work lives in Canada.
• 1:14:24
  And if they're going to, if they'll be like, yeah, let's
• 1:14:26
  meet at 11, I have to automatically adjust my clock.
• 1:14:30
  It's not like they're not going to say let's meet at 11:00
• 1:14:34
  Eastern, 10:00 central. They're going to be like
• 1:14:36
  everybody, let's meet at 11. And if I'm there at 11:00 PM my
• 1:14:40
  time, I missed the meeting. They just don't they're, they're
• 1:14:43
  like, we're not going to explain to you what time zone it is.
• 1:14:47
  And then they use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.
• 1:14:50
  Americans in the problem. And don't even explain it.
• 1:14:52
  They're just like this is what it is.
• 1:14:55
  How about? Over.
• 1:14:57
  The over exaggerations, what's gotten me with some German
• 1:15:00
  clients and whatnot, because very, very just easily I'll say
• 1:15:06
  yeah, everything's going great. And they're just like, you know.
• 1:15:15
  They're like, sure, yeah, sure. We watch the news.
• 1:15:21
  Americans. We see his dumb ass.
• 1:15:24
  Too. You know, I can tell you right
• 1:15:29
  now, nobody feels sorry for us right now.
• 1:15:33
  No one, No 10. It's funny.
• 1:15:39
  We're coming up on a shit. It's been an hour, guys.
• 1:15:42
  Hour hour 20. We're pushing hour 20.
• 1:15:45
  Minutes. My beer is empty so I'm that's
• 1:15:50
  going to be it for me for the night considering I got to be up
• 1:15:53
  at 5:00 tomorrow morning. OK, OK, well we got a we got a
• 1:15:56
  good solid thing in here. Rich was is all about you.
• 1:15:59
  Congratulations on 5000 beers. That is nothing to sneeze at.
• 1:16:03
  Promise. Thanks guys, feel like an
• 1:16:05
  alcoholic. Remember diabolical?
• 1:16:13
  That should have been the name of the five thousandth beard.
• 1:16:15
  Checking. Not epic.
• 1:16:17
  It should have been diabolical, Steve.
• 1:16:19
  Diabolic. Hey, Rich.
• 1:16:20
  Rich, put your can up there one more time if you've got it.
• 1:16:23
  Eric got it still. Ask me that is the. 5.
• 1:16:28
  Thousandth unique check in from Rich.
• 1:16:33
  I feel like again, I feel like I should have brought some
• 1:16:36
  streamers or something. Just pop them off.
• 1:16:41
  Diabolical. Congratulations to you buddy.
• 1:16:44
  I wish it would have been that stout, but Oh well, at least I
• 1:16:47
  got to have it with good guys tonight.
• 1:16:50
  The stout could still come into play.
• 1:16:51
  It could just be just another number.
• 1:16:53
  It'll just it'll work it in. You know what, Scott?
• 1:16:55
  My luck is going to ship tomorrow.
• 1:16:59
  They're going to be like now that we've already shipped your
• 1:17:01
  other yesterday, we've opened up a new crate for you.
• 1:17:06
  That's hilarious. 5003. Like what the fuck does it?
• 1:17:14
  Carry it out. I don't even want the beer.
• 1:17:16
  If you're not a 1100 or 5100 next Wednesday, none of us will
• 1:17:23
  judge. I won't judge.
• 1:17:27
  We won't. God, they judge you.
• 1:17:28
  I won't judge. You no, but there'll be an
• 1:17:29
  expectation. Don't be judgement if I don't
• 1:17:34
  hit it, but there won't be judgement if I do hit it.
• 1:17:37
  That seems a little backwards, Steve.
• 1:17:39
  Well, here's the conversation to have rich Hey Rachel.
• 1:17:42
  So the guys so the guys were like, I don't know, man took a
• 1:17:47
  long time to be 5051 hundred Seems like it's just right
• 1:17:50
  there. We could I could just hit it.
• 1:17:52
  No. Problem.
• 1:17:53
  I'm already at 5050. Like, you know, I could just go
• 1:17:57
  another 50 beers and then. You.
• 1:18:01
  Know what we wouldn't even know? You start checking in just like,
• 1:18:04
  oh look at that, he had 20 somewhere else today.
• 1:18:08
  Yeah. Sean, numbers at that point,
• 1:18:14
  yeah. If you if you're going to knock
• 1:18:16
  those numbers out, we'd have to do a share like Sean.
• 1:18:20
  Yeah. So yeah.
• 1:18:22
  Mitch, Mitch, I think when, when we're at Dark Lord Day and I was
• 1:18:26
  like, I can hit 5000. I had to check in.
• 1:18:28
  I think it was like 70 beers or something like that.
• 1:18:33
  And DJ was like, no way you're going to hit 5000.
• 1:18:36
  I was he's like, no way you're going to hit 7.
• 1:18:38
  I'm like, this is Dark Lord Day. Like there's thousands and
• 1:18:41
  thousands of people here and there's thousands.
• 1:18:44
  He's like, you're not going to do it.
• 1:18:45
  I was like, it's like 70 some beers.
• 1:18:47
  If I have like 2 ounces of each beer and he goes, that's going
• 1:18:52
  to be a what, 140? He goes, you're going to check
• 1:18:54
  in a gallon of 15% stouts all day.
• 1:18:57
  And I was like, you know what, He's got a good point.
• 1:19:00
  Like when you start breaking the numbers down like that.
• 1:19:03
  It's not. Reasonable. 24 hours though it's
• 1:19:07
  possible, yeah. Beer Math.
• 1:19:11
  Yeah, that's true. You're not doing anything else,
• 1:19:15
  not sleeping and not eating it, just.
• 1:19:17
  Like I'm just drinking. Just.
• 1:19:20
  Fucking I'm doing the math I'm on.
• 1:19:22
  I'm on pace. That's right.
• 1:19:24
  Got to get there, dearest out White.
• 1:19:29
  T-shirt, We're putting every slash of drink on your shirt.
• 1:19:34
  We can count it every five. That's like.
• 1:19:37
  The only way to do it, Mitch, is like a Sharpie and just marking
• 1:19:40
  it off. So did you say this, Mitch?
• 1:19:43
  Like that, that it's always sunny in Philadelphia?
• 1:19:46
  Yeah. The weight balls thing.
• 1:19:50
  Yeah, Yeah. Such a good show.
• 1:19:55
  Such a fun flight to do. I do that in an instant.
• 1:19:58
  If the whole flight was that Skogs kind of thing or whatever.
• 1:20:02
  I don't know baseball, but yes, that was a flight like.
• 1:20:07
  Let's roll. I.
• 1:20:10
  Wouldn't want to be a participant, I just want to be a
• 1:20:12
  witness to it because he like he can do it.
• 1:20:14
  You want 100 beers on a fucking flight?
• 1:20:16
  Knock yourself out. I don't want.
• 1:20:17
  Any I have to just like have a cold one and a marker.
• 1:20:20
  And then when someone raises their hands, I go over.
• 1:20:22
  I'm like, all right, here's another beer, buddy.
• 1:20:24
  Like he. Leaves a marker and there's
• 1:20:26
  here. Let's go.
• 1:20:32
  One day. One day, yeah, it'll be an all
• 1:20:36
  female. It'll be an all female crew.
• 1:20:38
  Nevermind. What beer would be the beer to
• 1:20:46
  annually win the number of check insurance and consistently every
• 1:20:50
  year, it's always just like you're in a lull, so you're not
• 1:20:53
  checking in the good beers, but you have your what's the one
• 1:20:57
  that everyone needs to default to for the highest check in does
• 1:21:00
  a competition? That could be a fun thing.
• 1:21:02
  It's got, it's got the word light on it.
• 1:21:05
  I'm pretty sure it's something light, yeah.
• 1:21:12
  If we're talking, if we're talking ratios of beer, Scott
• 1:21:16
  hands down wins with original because it's such a good fucking
• 1:21:21
  beer. Yeah.
• 1:21:23
  And out of the 80 something people that have total checked
• 1:21:27
  that beer in, Scott has 60 of them or something like that.
• 1:21:32
  I I, I just don't know why more people aren't checking it in,
• 1:21:34
  honestly. I mean, that's a lot of checking
• 1:21:35
  safety too. But like, where, where, where
• 1:21:38
  are the people checking the beers in?
• 1:21:39
  Like the yeah, they're obviously drinking it.
• 1:21:41
  It's a great place. They're not consistent.
• 1:21:44
  Scott, dude, that's another thing.
• 1:21:47
  When you go to Stoke House you need to be preaching to
• 1:21:50
  everybody, check in these beers that could be part of your job.
• 1:21:55
  There, well, not now. I'm I'm going to maintain this
• 1:21:57
  ratio. Should we?
• 1:22:00
  Should we create a dorky site called the Original Start or
• 1:22:05
  something like that? And it's just a site that
• 1:22:08
  chooses a beer for local residents that you got to check
• 1:22:11
  in the most. Oh.
• 1:22:14
  That's good. It's like we can make an app for
• 1:22:18
  it and it would all aggregate just fine.
• 1:22:21
  But it would be kind of a fun thing for driving some more
• 1:22:26
  local sales, right? And we can make several
• 1:22:31
  different brackets and whatnot. But yeah, I don't know, dumb
• 1:22:34
  idea I. Think it's a great idea?
• 1:22:38
  We'll let you put that emotion. Dumb ideas when you're drinking.
• 1:22:43
  We'll take those ashtray lips and gold dip on for the trophy.
• 1:22:49
  Fill it with beer. Drink it.
• 1:22:51
  Out of it, anyway. All right, boys, I got to go
• 1:22:57
  pee. I know, Rich, you got to go.
• 1:22:59
  Cheers gentlemen. Congrats, Rich.
• 1:23:02
  Congrats Rich, absolutely cheers to you man.
• 1:23:05
  Thanks guys. Bye.
• 1:23:07
  Cheers. See you boys.
• 1:23:10
  Later.
