  > Speaker E>Don't make me play the toadies for you again.
• 3:45
  > Speaker D>Okay. Today's episode is a brewery takeover.
• 3:49
  > Speaker C>Yay.
• 3:52
  > Speaker D>Mirror twin brewing opened up in November of 2023. So, very recently. Very recently in Lexington, Kentucky, they have two different tap rooms, all from being birthed in November of 2023.
• 4:08
  > Speaker B>That's impressive.
• 4:09
  > Speaker E>But remember that Kentucky is about 20 years behind the rest of the country, so really, that's more like 2003.
• 4:18
  > Speaker B>And they just got. I heard they just got shoes a few years ago, and I'm really proud of them. Like, they finally made it.
• 4:25
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 4:29
  > Speaker F>You know, as my second home, I wouldn't let anyone speak about Tennessee that way. And I will not tolerate the Kentucky ism.
• 4:39
  > Speaker B>Um, well, that's fine. Cause we'll just talk about Alabama and Kentucky ism.
• 4:46
  > Speaker B>Can we talk about Alabama instead?
• 4:48
  > Speaker F>Cause I feel like roll tide. Cause elite eight.
• 4:50
  > Speaker B>Okay.
• 4:53
  > Speaker F>Anything else?
• 4:54
  > Speaker E>Wow.
• 4:55
  > Speaker C>Mhm.
• 4:56
  > Speaker E>She's just, like, bringing all the bombs. Like, boom, boom.
• 4:59
  > Speaker D>Exactly.
• 5:01
  > Speaker F>That was last episode of bombs.
• 5:04
  > Speaker F>Uh, hoppenheimer. Yes.
• 5:08
  > Speaker C>Oh, yeah.
• 5:09
  > Speaker D>Okay, well, they have two different tap rooms and that each have a distinctly unique vibe despite being literally next door to each other.
• 5:17
  > Speaker E>Yeah, next door to each other.
• 5:20
  > Speaker D>Really?
• 5:20
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 5:21
  > Speaker E>One of them is a cocktail lounge, and the other one's like a tap room.
• 5:24
  > Speaker D>Okay. There's that. Well, good old boy. Dave, since you know so much about mirror twin brewing, and why don't you tell us a little bit more?
• 5:35
  > Speaker E>Well, like most breweries, their website was a treasure trove of information.
• 5:41
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 5:42
  > Speaker E>Yeah.
• 5:42
  > Speaker B>Did the deep research.
• 5:46
  > Speaker C>Let's see.
• 5:47
  > Speaker E>Here they are in Lexington, Kentucky, and opened in 2023. They have two tap rooms. Uh, but you are already covered that. Let's see. Well, one of the owners is a mirror twin, so that's probably where the name came from. I did find out that they serve, uh, a green bloody mary.
• 6:07
  > Speaker F>Dave, could you tell me what is a mirror twin?
• 6:09
  > Speaker E>A mirror twin is like when you're identical twins, and one of the twins, like, your hair parts on the right side, the other twin, your hair parts on the left side, and so your distinctive, uh, characteristics.
• 6:21
  > Speaker F>So it's about the part.
• 6:22
  > Speaker C>Mm hmm.
• 6:23
  > Speaker E>It's all about your hair part.
• 6:25
  > Speaker C>Mm hmm.
• 6:26
  > Speaker E>You might have a facial tick on your right side. Your twin has a facial tick on the left side.
• 6:30
  > Speaker B>Yeah, no, I.
• 6:31
  > Speaker E>Your twins, uh, right testicle hangs a little bit lower. Your testicle hangs a little bit.
• 6:36
  > Speaker B>No, no. I knew a pair of female mirror twins, and they had which one's testicle.
• 6:42
  > Speaker B>They were female, but. But they both had a low hanging boob. One less.
• 6:48
  > Speaker B>One breast was larger than the other, and it was mirrored on either side, so. Oh, my God.
• 6:51
  > Speaker E>That's like. So how did you. How do you know that depth? Uh, of.
• 6:58
  > Speaker B>I. They volunteered.
• 7:02
  > Speaker B>Uh, okay. It was a pool party. That was a pool party.
• 7:05
  > Speaker C>Yep.
• 7:06
  > Speaker B>That's what happened. It was just a pool party.
• 7:08
  > Speaker B>Oh, there were a lot of people.
• 7:10
  > Speaker E>There were lots of people around.
• 7:13
  > Speaker E>Yeah.
• 7:16
  > Speaker B>Sparky. Thousand mile stair.
• 7:19
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 7:20
  > Speaker E>Sparky was never on the show again, and.
• 7:24
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 7:25
  > Speaker C>All right.
• 7:25
  > Speaker E>We should probably move along.
• 7:26
  > Speaker D>Well, yes. So if that's all that we're gonna get to, I guess we really just need to move on.
• 7:32
  > Speaker F>I like a green bloody Mary, though. What makes it green?
• 7:35
  > Speaker E>Uh, it's their homemade green tomato.
• 7:39
  > Speaker F>Tomatilla.
• 7:40
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 7:40
  > Speaker B>Oh, my God.
• 7:41
  > Speaker C>That sounds so good.
• 7:42
  > Speaker E>So I don't know if they use tomatillos or if they're just using green tomatoes.
• 7:47
  > Speaker B>Interesting.
• 7:47
  > Speaker E>And making it, like, the unripe tomato, like, sort of, you know, like fried green tomatoes.
• 7:52
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 7:52
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 7:53
  > Speaker B>Field trips, Alex and Tom.
• 7:54
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 7:55
  > Speaker F>Sparky's marriage ones. One of them had an unripe tomato.
• 7:58
  > Speaker B>On one side and an overripe.
• 8:00
  > Speaker F>Yeah, overripe tomatoes.
• 8:02
  > Speaker B>It was a red bloody Mary and a cream bloody Mary circling back.
• 8:06
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 8:07
  > Speaker D>Okay, well, Sparky.
• 8:11
  > Speaker E>So they could only give you. He could only stare him in one eye at a time.
• 8:18
  > Speaker D>Okay, enough.
• 8:20
  > Speaker E>All right?
• 8:20
  > Speaker B>We're done, obviously.
• 8:21
  > Speaker D>For now. For now, please give us today's lineup.
• 8:25
  > Speaker B>Swarky the mirror twin Brewing company.
• 8:28
  > Speaker B>Beers we'll be tasting today are white girl wasted.
• 8:32
  > Speaker F>Oh, yeah.
• 8:33
  > Speaker B>An ode to Nashville, Tennessee, with their american blond ale.
• 8:39
  > Speaker B>Beesting honey. Hefeweizen. For those mirror twins that are a little bit incongruous. The Oregon pale american pale ale. Red blooded american red ale. You, me, and mister pb chocolate peanut butter milk stout. Oh, gross. Not looking forward to that. Kitten mittens.
• 9:07
  > Speaker B>Oh, man, that sounds like a Charlie, uh, from it's always sunny in Philadelphia. You guys don't catch that reference? Oh, yeah. Is your cat so loud? Try kitten mittens. I'm really excited about that. That's a porter.
• 9:23
  > Speaker B>And if time permits, we may have a bonus beer, too.
• 9:28
  > Speaker D>Thank you, Sparky.
• 9:29
  > Speaker B>You're welcome.

  > Speaker D>M all right, goodlego. Carrie Ann, why don't you give us the suds ratings for today?
• 9:36
  > Speaker E>Ooh.
• 9:38
  > Speaker C>Ooh.
• 9:39
  > Speaker F>So, I'm gonna do this in, um, the style of every kentuckian I know.
• 9:45
  > Speaker C>Good.
• 9:45
  > Speaker F>Mm hmm. So we're gonna be discussing and rating these beers with these sips ratings. Plus our signature belching sounds.
• 9:53
  > Speaker D>I like how she said sips.
• 9:54
  > Speaker E>That's fine. She's a sips girl.
• 9:56
  > Speaker C>It's all good. It's okay.
• 9:58
  > Speaker B>We don't sips.
• 9:58
  > Speaker F>What I meant to say was. So, here are those ratings.
• 10:05
  > Speaker C>That was.
• 10:08
  > Speaker B>Perfect.
• 10:10
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 10:10
  > Speaker F>It's sooty.
• 10:14
  > Speaker F>One. That sucks. Give me anything but a bud. See how that wasn't hick?
• 10:21
  > Speaker E>Not no hick at all.
• 10:23
  > Speaker D>Two.
• 10:23
  > Speaker F>Was that a belch?
• 10:27
  > Speaker F>Also not hick. Three. Oh, what a relief it is.
• 10:34
  > Speaker F>Four. A body really shouldn't make that sound.
• 10:41
  > Speaker E>It was very cosmopolitan.
• 10:44
  > Speaker F>Five. Listen to that hang time. Give me another.
• 10:49
  > Speaker B>Oh, um, Carrie Ann, that was really classy. And there was no. No implied inbreeding. Uh, I feel like you really, you know, brought up the Kentucky scene.
• 11:01
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 11:02
  > Speaker B>Thank you for that.
• 11:02
  > Speaker F>Love you, Kentucky.
• 11:03
  > Speaker E>There were no web toes in that.
• 11:04
  > Speaker B>No, it's true.
• 11:07
  > Speaker F>6Th toes, maybe.
• 11:09
  > Speaker D>Oh, boy.
• 11:10
  > Speaker B>Fair, fair.
• 11:11
  > Speaker D>Okay, let's get probably. Yeah, yeah, let's get to it.
• 11:17
  > Speaker D>First, one. White girl wasted the american blonde.
• 11:23
  > Speaker F>Guess whose white girl roasted right now?
• 11:25
  > Speaker C>What?
• 11:25
  > Speaker B>Uh, sparky.
• 11:28
  > Speaker B>That's true, y'all. I've made some bad decisions.
• 11:32
  > Speaker D>Okay. 5.5% abv. This is a light and refreshing ale that is easy to drink and easy to enjoy. We use two different unique malts. Two different malts. To give this blond ale a bit of color and slight sweetness. We also use a unique method of adding hops, which mellows the bitterness and makes the beer smoother to drink. Have a few and see where the night goes.
• 11:58
  > Speaker B>Unique method?
• 11:59
  > Speaker D>What does that even mean?
• 12:00
  > Speaker B>Oh, no, they add torpedo.
• 12:03
  > Speaker B>Like, what?
• 12:04
  > Speaker E>After the beer's cold, they add the hops.
• 12:08
  > Speaker F>Okay, who writes this?
• 12:12
  > Speaker B>They do.
• 12:13
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 12:13
  > Speaker F>Um, this is marketing girl that just graduated from the University of Kentucky.
• 12:21
  > Speaker B>Thank you for the.
• 12:22
  > Speaker E>That. You actually sounded like a, uh, marketing.
• 12:25
  > Speaker C>You did that?
• 12:25
  > Speaker B>Well, who just.
• 12:26
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 12:30
  > Speaker E>It'S okay.
• 12:31
  > Speaker F>It's underwhelming.
• 12:32
  > Speaker E>That's a good one.
• 12:33
  > Speaker F>Just like the marketing girl that just graduated from the University of Kentucky.
• 12:41
  > Speaker C>You.
• 12:41
  > Speaker D>Know, and compared to some blondales that we've had recently.
• 12:46
  > Speaker E>Yeah, sure.
• 12:47
  > Speaker D>I feel like this one is a little sharp.
• 12:51
  > Speaker B>I agree with that.
• 12:52
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 12:53
  > Speaker B>And there's definitely some. It's definitely not as smooth if you.
• 12:57
  > Speaker E>Look at the color on this. Yeah, it is. It's almost clear. So, like, there's nothing malt wise that would balance out any extra level of hop.
• 13:09
  > Speaker F>This doesn't taste anything like white girls I've tasted.
• 13:13
  > Speaker B>No, I mean, it's.
• 13:14
  > Speaker E>It's Sparky.
• 13:15
  > Speaker B>Sparky.
• 13:17
  > Speaker E>What happened was about this for a minute.
• 13:19
  > Speaker B>Okay.
• 13:21
  > Speaker D>And we'll continue in just a minute.
• 13:24
  > Speaker E>We're gonna go into the break on that note.
• 13:27
  > Speaker D>Welcome.
• 13:28
  > Speaker D>Um, back, everyone. So today we're doing a brewery takeover. We haven't done one of these in a bit.
• 13:35
  > Speaker E>And couple days.
• 13:36
  > Speaker D>A couple days. Sure, sure. And this is mirror twin brewing in Lexington, Kentucky. So the beer that we started talking about before the braid.
• 13:47
  > Speaker E>I knew you would love that, dude.
• 13:49
  > Speaker D>I knew you would love that.
• 13:51
  > Speaker F>Um, you're not even old enough to love that.
• 13:53
  > Speaker C>We just love.
• 13:54
  > Speaker D>Everything here is white girl wasted, the american blond ale. And we had some thoughts.
• 14:02
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 14:03
  > Speaker B>Oh, we did.
• 14:04
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 14:05
  > Speaker F>Um, and honestly, they were shallow.
• 14:11
  > Speaker D>Yeah. Yeah. It's just there's this little bit of astringency and this, like, almost vegetalness that is just a little odd.
• 14:18
  > Speaker B>It's not really balanced. It's. There's something quite off.
• 14:22
  > Speaker E>I think they tried to make it too light.
• 14:25
  > Speaker D>Maybe. Maybe.
• 14:26
  > Speaker E>And so by scrimping on the malt bill, they. And maybe they sparged a little too high. I don't know what they did, but there's not enough malt in here to make this beer balance.
• 14:39
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 14:40
  > Speaker C>With.
• 14:40
  > Speaker D>With the hop.
• 14:41
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 14:41
  > Speaker B>For certain.
• 14:42
  > Speaker C>Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:42
  > Speaker B>Because that's all you're getting is just the hops. And for a blonde, that's kind of wild.
• 14:46
  > Speaker E>It's like a hop water.
• 14:49
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 14:50
  > Speaker E>I mean, if you're a wasted white girl, you might drink this, I guess. Probably low calorie.
• 14:56
  > Speaker F>That's what we have to say. It's probably low calorie.
• 14:59
  > Speaker D>Okay, we are going to rate this a two.
• 15:04
  > Speaker F>Generously.
• 15:05
  > Speaker D>Okay, now we're gonna go to the bee sting, honey, hefeweizen.
• 15:11
  > Speaker D>And this one actually has a special story.
• 15:15
  > Speaker B>Oh, cool.
• 15:17
  > Speaker D>Um, as soon as I could find.
• 15:19
  > Speaker F>This, it also has a special little.
• 15:21
  > Speaker E>There's a guy who came to the brewery a lot, and he gave them the recipe. It was a family recipe, and then he passed away a few years ago. Oh, good lord. Yeah, they started make. Whoa.
• 15:32
  > Speaker E>No, no, no. Okay, keep it in. Once it's inside, it has to stay inside.
• 15:39
  > Speaker B>That's what she said.
• 15:41
  > Speaker D>Okay, so this hepa wisen is 6.5% abv.
• 15:45
  > Speaker D>Now spring has sprung, so to speak. And this is their first spring seasonal release, which is a fan favorite. And it's been adored by locals, I guess, for the last five years, which.
• 16:04
  > Speaker E>They just opened last year.
• 16:05
  > Speaker F>So very confused.
• 16:07
  > Speaker D>Yeah, that is a little. Slightly confusing. Um, so it has classic heifen oats with banana and clove, stemming from.
• 16:15
  > Speaker E>It's not. It's actually pretty nice. Little heavy.
• 16:18
  > Speaker B>Yeah, on the. On the nose, absolutely. Banana and classic heavy notes.
• 16:23
  > Speaker F>Um, and then on the finish, I'm getting, like, wet cardboard.
• 16:28
  > Speaker B>The finish was weird for me, too. Like, not. That was the one place it would.
• 16:34
  > Speaker F>Make me want to keep drinking it to avoid the finish because I like all the things solved.
• 16:39
  > Speaker D>The wet cardboard.
• 16:40
  > Speaker E>That's a good marketing ploy.
• 16:44
  > Speaker D>Yeah. It's almost like the clove kind of goes off the rails at the end.
• 16:49
  > Speaker B>Yeah, that's that. Yes.
• 16:51
  > Speaker D>Because a clove is there initially and you get it and you're like, oh, yeah.
• 16:55
  > Speaker B>Usually when you have a hefewe, like, you get down the nose, you have it on the initial palate, and then it's just gonna whisks away. And they usually finish kind of grainy on a hefy. But this, the clove just goes for days.
• 17:08
  > Speaker E>It just keeps going.
• 17:09
  > Speaker D>Yeah, yeah, it does.
• 17:11
  > Speaker B>I'm not getting as much of the honey, though, like.
• 17:13
  > Speaker F>No, no.
• 17:14
  > Speaker B>Okay. Okay.
• 17:14
  > Speaker F>I'm getting.
• 17:15
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 17:15
  > Speaker D>Uh, mouth feel, though wise.
• 17:17
  > Speaker B>Oh, interesting.
• 17:18
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 17:19
  > Speaker F>It's there in the weight, but it's not.
• 17:20
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 17:21
  > Speaker F>On the palate at all.
• 17:22
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 17:23
  > Speaker B>That's weird.
• 17:24
  > Speaker E>Well, I think there's so much other stuff going on, it may be that you just can't pick it out.
• 17:31
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 17:31
  > Speaker D>And I just wonder if it's a really strong yeast strain that's doing.
• 17:34
  > Speaker B>I think that's what it is because, I mean, I've had honey half have iceans before and you kind of get that nice, like, bright sweetness of the honey.
• 17:41
  > Speaker C>Yeah, yeah. Right, right.
• 17:42
  > Speaker D>That kind of softens the coral.
• 17:44
  > Speaker B>Kind of. Yes. And not at all in this.
• 17:47
  > Speaker E>I think you just have to, they have to dial this one in a little bit better.
• 17:50
  > Speaker B>It's a great idea. I mean, I've had plenty of honey heavies in my life before, but, um, um, this is. Yeah, one of them.
• 17:59
  > Speaker D>Right, right.
• 18:01
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 18:01
  > Speaker F>This is one of the huff of Icelands I've had.
• 18:04
  > Speaker C>Mm hmm.
• 18:04
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 18:05
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 18:05
  > Speaker D>So we are going to rate this a two.
• 18:12
  > Speaker E>Alright.
• 18:12
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 18:12
  > Speaker F>Uh, but I have hope it's uphill.
• 18:15
  > Speaker E>It's all gonna. We're going up from here.
• 18:18
  > Speaker B>This is, this is exciting.
• 18:19
  > Speaker E>We got a couple out of the.
• 18:20
  > Speaker B>Way, cuz just let me tell you the, the can label of the next one.
• 18:26
  > Speaker E>Um, the concept behind this next one gets a 20.
• 18:29
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 18:31
  > Speaker E>It's gonna get an extra point in the rating until you die of dysentery, regardless of what it tastes like.
• 18:36
  > Speaker E>It's gonna get an extra point off the.
• 18:38
  > Speaker B>That's true.
• 18:39
  > Speaker D>Okay. Yes, yes. Um, that's true.
• 18:42
  > Speaker D>But before that, we get to the next sphere. It is story time.
• 18:46
  > Speaker B>Oh, I love story time.
• 18:48
  > Speaker D>So today, good old gal Carrie Ann has a story for us. Tell us story, Carrie Ann. Tell us a story.
• 18:56
  > Speaker F>Maybe keep your tongue off the toads.
• 18:59
  > Speaker D>What?
• 19:00
  > Speaker F>Yeah, so, uh, the National Park Service recently asked visitors to please, please, please stop licking the toads.
• 19:14
  > Speaker F>Stop it. All right, that's.
• 19:16
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 19:17
  > Speaker E>You know what? Just stop.
• 19:18
  > Speaker C>Wait.
• 19:18
  > Speaker D>Are they looking for princes?
• 19:20
  > Speaker B>Well, I'm not sure that was about.
• 19:23
  > Speaker E>I don't think. I don't think that's how you got a prince to come up.
• 19:27
  > Speaker F>As we say with most things you come across in a national park, whether it be a banana slug, an unfamiliar.
• 19:34
  > Speaker B>Mushroom, don't put it in your mouth.
• 19:36
  > Speaker F>Or a large toad with glowing eyes in the dead of night, please refrain from licking.
• 19:42
  > Speaker B>Okay, yeah, I'm here for that.
• 19:45
  > Speaker F>National, um, park service pr is on top of this. So licking the toads is not the way most people go about getting the super secret substance out of them. But sometimes you can dry it into crystals and smoke it.
• 20:00
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 20:01
  > Speaker F>Who knew?
• 20:01
  > Speaker D>Really?
• 20:03
  > Speaker F>I never saw that on facebook. Marketplace.
• 20:06
  > Speaker D>Wow.
• 20:07
  > Speaker F>Yeah. So, um, licking the toads is. Is a thing that the park service is seen as a problem, which means they're out in the dead of night watching you lick toads. What's more embarrassing, toad or getting caught licking a toad?
• 20:24
  > Speaker E>You think, like, they figured it out because the toads were complaining? Like, hey, look, all right, rude.
• 20:30
  > Speaker E>I'm living in this park, okay?
• 20:32
  > Speaker C>I'm doing my thing.
• 20:33
  > Speaker F>I'm trying to live my life.
• 20:35
  > Speaker B>Yeah, hopping along.
• 20:37
  > Speaker E>Freaking hippie with dreadlocks.
• 20:38
  > Speaker F>Here comes a big tongue at me.
• 20:40
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 20:41
  > Speaker B>You know, they're not even licking trustafarian.
• 20:45
  > Speaker E>They're licking the part I don't like, you know?
• 20:48
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 20:48
  > Speaker B>Oh, yeah. Oh, wait.
• 20:51
  > Speaker B>Is that how that works?
• 20:52
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 20:52
  > Speaker E>I mean.
• 20:53
  > Speaker B>Oh, I didn't. Well, you know, I mean, I.
• 20:56
  > Speaker E>If someone was gonna lick you, would licking your back be what you would choose?
• 21:01
  > Speaker F>How do you know that's where they're licking? Are they licking the back? Are you sure?
• 21:07
  > Speaker E>Grab the toad.
• 21:08
  > Speaker F>So, this toad is also known as the Colorado river toad and is found primarily in the sonoran desert in the southwestern Us and northwestern Mexico. And they're worried about this animal being in danger due to all the liquory predators or raccoons and, you know, roadkill. But this recent licking epidemic pandemic.
• 21:36
  > Speaker C>Sure.
• 21:36
  > Speaker B>No, I feel really positive about them.
• 21:39
  > Speaker B>I think they'll tick a licking and keep on ticking.
• 21:42
  > Speaker E>Oh.
• 21:45
  > Speaker E>But I mean, think about it like. So you're trying to fend off raccoons, right? But then some hippies come by and lick all your poison off.
• 21:54
  > Speaker E>That's.
• 21:55
  > Speaker B>I spent so much time generating that.
• 21:57
  > Speaker F>Poison, um, to release the stuff.
• 22:03
  > Speaker F>Toxin.
• 22:04
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 22:04
  > Speaker F>Then the hippies are brushing under its chin, as you might a little kitty cat.
• 22:10
  > Speaker E>Okay.
• 22:11
  > Speaker B>I think they would enjoy that.
• 22:13
  > Speaker F>And that's how it's like, I don't really remember asking you to.
• 22:16
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 22:17
  > Speaker B>Oh. So there was not.
• 22:18
  > Speaker E>Oh, that's some consent wanted touching.
• 22:23
  > Speaker F>Yeah. And so then they go and they put out the poison, and then the hippies, like, scrape it off of them and go sell it on the market.
• 22:30
  > Speaker B>Oh. It's just not a lick and lick it.
• 22:33
  > Speaker B>And you just scrape it. There's scraper eagle.
• 22:36
  > Speaker C>Um. Oh.
• 22:36
  > Speaker D>Because you can only lick so much.
• 22:38
  > Speaker E>Wow. We're gonna save that.
• 22:43
  > Speaker B>Center of a toad.
• 22:45
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 22:48
  > Speaker B>I think we learned a lot today. So he's.
• 22:51
  > Speaker C>This is a message.
• 22:52
  > Speaker F>Licking the toad.
• 22:53
  > Speaker E>This is a message to all the hippies. No means no.
• 22:56
  > Speaker E>Okay.
• 22:59
  > Speaker E>Licking toads.
• 23:00
  > Speaker F>The hippies call the licking experience a God molecule.
• 23:05
  > Speaker E>Wow.
• 23:07
  > Speaker C>Okay. Huh.
• 23:07
  > Speaker F>So it's so potent, it's compared to religious experiences such the, uh, more you.
• 23:13
  > Speaker D>Lick, the closer you get to God.
• 23:16
  > Speaker B>You know, I felt the same way.
• 23:17
  > Speaker E>I heard that from a few, um, people.
• 23:19
  > Speaker B>You know, I felt the same way at the kiddush lunch after services today. That bagel with the smoked salmon on it, that was the God molecule right there.
• 23:27
  > Speaker C>Oh.
• 23:28
  > Speaker F>The park service says, keep your tongues off the toads.
• 23:31
  > Speaker E>We'll all be there you go. I think that's a good message, uh, for all the kids out there.
• 23:36
  > Speaker B>Keep your tongues, keep your tongue.
• 23:37
  > Speaker F>Keep your tongues off the toads.
• 23:38
  > Speaker E>Because, like, how many, how many people are going around licking toads that don't produce this stuff?
• 23:44
  > Speaker E>So now you're just tasting toad.
• 23:46
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 23:47
  > Speaker B>You're not even getting the good stuff.
• 23:48
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 23:49
  > Speaker E>You're not even getting disappointed. You're just licking a toad at that point.
• 23:52
  > Speaker F>M toads need love.
• 23:53
  > Speaker C>Ah.
• 23:54
  > Speaker F>Too.
• 23:54
  > Speaker E>Well, they need love, but not tongue love.
• 24:00
  > Speaker F>Well, moving on.
• 24:02
  > Speaker D>I mean. Okay, and now back to the beer, folks.
• 24:08
  > Speaker F>Uh, yeah.
• 24:11
  > Speaker B>Too much information.
• 24:15
  > Speaker D>Reverend Mark, you are so right.
• 24:17
  > Speaker B>God bless you, Reverend Mark.
• 24:18
  > Speaker D>So right.
• 24:19
  > Speaker B>Happy Easter.
• 24:20
  > Speaker D>Let's go to the Oregon pale.
• 24:24
  > Speaker E>Alright, so, Sparky, tell us what this can says to you.
• 24:30
  > Speaker B>Um, it reminds me of elementary school and or middle school and, um. Um, um, I'm gonna have to deciding how much ammo or medicine you have to buy to keep from getting dysentery.
• 24:46
  > Speaker F>Did the Oregon trail exist? Because I remember doing it in like, kindergarten, which would put you in the womb.
• 24:54
  > Speaker B>So, I mean, it was the, it was an eighties. It was like an early eighties thing.
• 24:59
  > Speaker F>Was it still, were we still Oregon trailing and the, uh.
• 25:04
  > Speaker B>Yeah, I mean, I think it continued.
• 25:05
  > Speaker E>For, I think by the time he got it, it was a classic video game.
• 25:10
  > Speaker C>Oh, wow.
• 25:11
  > Speaker B>That's hurtful.
• 25:12
  > Speaker F>We only had, like, cursors, and we had to type things.
• 25:15
  > Speaker B>Yeah, we didn't. We didn't have a mouse. I mean, you're on your apple, too.
• 25:20
  > Speaker E>Text based game.
• 25:21
  > Speaker B>Yeah, but it's. It's amazing. Uh, I mean, yes, but again, hopefully, we will not die of dysentery by drinking the sphere. That's my whole hope.
• 25:29
  > Speaker E>You enter a swamp and.
• 25:31
  > Speaker D>Right, because on the label here, it does say a quarantine has left the wagon full of beer. You may 1 drink beer, two drink beer, three drink beer. Four drink more beer.
• 25:50
  > Speaker F>I think I'm gonna try this beer.
• 25:51
  > Speaker B>I think we're gonna drink four.
• 25:52
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 25:55
  > Speaker F>It smells nice.
• 25:58
  > Speaker B>Oh, my.
• 25:59
  > Speaker E>I think we hit a winner here.
• 26:00
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 26:01
  > Speaker B>All right. Okay. I was really starting to worry about this takeover until I had this. Okay, thank you for dialing back to those apple two days of the early.
• 26:10
  > Speaker F>Eighties, because also apple Granny Smith's.
• 26:16
  > Speaker E>It's good when you invest in the beer and not, uh, just the beer label.
• 26:21
  > Speaker B>Yes, that's true.
• 26:22
  > Speaker C>And. But also.
• 26:22
  > Speaker D>But if you can do both hops.
• 26:26
  > Speaker D>Yeah, Simcoe and Simka. Um, yeah, Simcoe and Citra.
• 26:31
  > Speaker B>But also, like, the malt backbone of this is solid as heck. Like, they just dialed in. Yeah, this is super dialed in. And good job, guys.
• 26:40
  > Speaker F>I love marriage. When you found your call.
• 26:42
  > Speaker B>Yeah. And, I mean, thank you for appealing to those early apples to graphics. God bless you.
• 26:51
  > Speaker F>Mm.
• 26:52
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 26:52
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 26:53
  > Speaker C>This.
• 26:53
  > Speaker F>Is there a pong beer?
• 26:55
  > Speaker B>I mean, I'm sure there is some. There's gotta be a pong beer.
• 26:59
  > Speaker E>What would it be, though? It would pong.
• 27:03
  > Speaker E>Yes, I know that, but what?
• 27:04
  > Speaker F>I mean, I think that was the only, um.
• 27:07
  > Speaker E>But, like, what style beer would it be?
• 27:08
  > Speaker F>Ping?
• 27:09
  > Speaker D>West coast IPA?
• 27:11
  > Speaker F>Would it be?
• 27:14
  > Speaker B>Sure.
• 27:14
  > Speaker F>I think it would be, like, the forest. I don't know.
• 27:16
  > Speaker E>It must be a schlitz, like a light american lager.
• 27:21
  > Speaker C>This.
• 27:21
  > Speaker B>I mean, this. This is one of the most delightful beers I've had in a minute. It is just very refreshing.
• 27:27
  > Speaker C>Yeah. Um.
• 27:28
  > Speaker B>Um, you definitely get the Simcoe and just.
• 27:31
  > Speaker B>Just this great kind of resonance. But not too much, right? Oh, no, no.
• 27:36
  > Speaker D>It's so balanced.
• 27:37
  > Speaker B>Balanced out.
• 27:38
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 27:38
  > Speaker B>Just perfect.
• 27:39
  > Speaker F>ABV on this again, the ABV is 5.3.
• 27:44
  > Speaker B>Oh, my God.
• 27:45
  > Speaker D>There's a lot going on for that.
• 27:47
  > Speaker F>It's hard to tell with the pixelated.
• 27:50
  > Speaker F>Uh.
• 27:51
  > Speaker B>Yeah, the font.
• 27:52
  > Speaker F>I'm wondering if other cans have other scenes from the Oregon trail.
• 27:57
  > Speaker E>That would be cool.
• 27:58
  > Speaker B>That would be fine with that.
• 28:00
  > Speaker E>That'd be too good.
• 28:01
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 28:01
  > Speaker B>You've only. You've only got 800 pounds of bear meat.
• 28:04
  > Speaker C>How much?
• 28:04
  > Speaker E>They should make a series.
• 28:06
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 28:06
  > Speaker B>Hm.
• 28:08
  > Speaker E>Stout.
• 28:09
  > Speaker D>Well, this is. This is delightful. Yeah, yeah.
• 28:12
  > Speaker D>And.
• 28:14
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 28:14
  > Speaker D>Yeah. This is a solid four.
• 28:17
  > Speaker B>Solo.
• 28:18
  > Speaker E>Five.
• 28:21
  > Speaker D>All right, now let's go to the red blooded american red ale. And, honestly, kudos for bringing a red ale, right?
• 28:31
  > Speaker B>I mean, we've been a dearth of that.
• 28:36
  > Speaker F>Wait, what?
• 28:36
  > Speaker D>Yeah, so the, um. Um, this is 6% abv.
• 28:45
  > Speaker B>Wow, that's pretty boozy for red hail.
• 28:48
  > Speaker B>Right?
• 28:49
  > Speaker E>It's a real red blooded American.
• 28:53
  > Speaker D>Medium bodied, delicious ale. Makes you want to yell out Murica, see America. Beautiful red color with just enough hot bitterness to play perfectly with the multi goodness. This is a great beer for people who are ready to graduate from a blonde and get ready for m more serious brews.
• 29:14
  > Speaker F>That's what I'm saying. Graduate from the blonde. Come to the redhead, y'all.
• 29:17
  > Speaker E>There you go.
• 29:18
  > Speaker F>Here's what.
• 29:19
  > Speaker D>And there's delicious.
• 29:21
  > Speaker E>You know, I like this beer, actually.
• 29:24
  > Speaker B>I like it, too. But, I mean, I definitely can tell the booze is a little bit.
• 29:29
  > Speaker C>It's.
• 29:30
  > Speaker B>Yeah, a little bit in there, but delicious.
• 29:32
  > Speaker D>And it's weird how we're saying boozy.
• 29:34
  > Speaker B>At 6%, which I know that is. That is a little bit odd.
• 29:38
  > Speaker E>Well, like, you have those beers that are, like, seven, eight, 9%. You're like, oh, it doesn't taste like that.
• 29:44
  > Speaker E>Blah, blah, blah. And you're like, well, I could get in trouble with this one. It's like, I'm letting you know right.
• 29:49
  > Speaker B>Up front, you're gonna get in trouble.
• 29:51
  > Speaker E>Yeah, I'm gonna smack.
• 29:52
  > Speaker B>Because it's a redhead.
• 29:53
  > Speaker F>Because it's buying the whiskey again, because this needs a whiskey.
• 29:57
  > Speaker C>All right. What do you.
• 29:58
  > Speaker E>What would you.
• 30:02
  > Speaker E>She's thinking about it.
• 30:03
  > Speaker C>All right.
• 30:03
  > Speaker F>I am.
• 30:04
  > Speaker B>Like, she's going through a whole mental calculus right now.
• 30:08
  > Speaker E>So while she's thinking, sparky, what food would you pair this beer with?
• 30:13
  > Speaker B>Yeah.
• 30:14
  > Speaker D>Especially with this being a red ale.
• 30:15
  > Speaker B>Yeah, I would. Okay. I would love to have this with some shepherd's pie. I feel like.
• 30:22
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 30:23
  > Speaker B>Like, I'd love to have a little bit of a combination of lamb and beef.
• 30:27
  > Speaker C>Um.
• 30:27
  > Speaker B>Um. And I know traditionally, we just got off of St. Patrick's Day, and you. You kind of think of Guinness and that sort of thing, but also harp.
• 30:35
  > Speaker C>Right.
• 30:35
  > Speaker B>And.
• 30:35
  > Speaker E>Yeah, sure.
• 30:36
  > Speaker B>Um, um, but. But I feel like that would be just so great balancing those pieces out.
• 30:42
  > Speaker E>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something deep and meaty yeah, I can.
• 30:47
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 30:48
  > Speaker B>With a lot of Umami going on there, this would just ping right off.
• 30:52
  > Speaker E>I would almost also pair this with a dessert, you know, like some. Something chocolatey.
• 30:58
  > Speaker B>And, like, I'm here for that equally.
• 31:00
  > Speaker E>Of depth of flavor, you know? Yeah, very rich. Because I think this would kind of cut through some of that.
• 31:07
  > Speaker B>For sure.
• 31:08
  > Speaker D>Um, well, speaking of which, what do you think Carrie Ann has a little, um, teensy science? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're gonna try a little bit. Grab a couple.
• 31:18
  > Speaker B>They don't make those anymore.
• 31:20
  > Speaker D>I know, right? Man, the things we do for this show.
• 31:25
  > Speaker F>Teensy tiny.
• 31:26
  > Speaker B>I will tell you that I happened upon a case of that once in 2013. Yeah. Um, they were selling them for, like, 17, ah, bucks a bottle. Um, I'm really disappointed. I did not buy multiple cases that.
• 31:41
  > Speaker D>Oh, wow.
• 31:43
  > Speaker B>In the olden times.
• 31:44
  > Speaker F>Well, you can get it on the secondary now for, like,$400,000.
• 31:48
  > Speaker B>Oh, stop it.
• 31:50
  > Speaker D>Oh, you do? Okay.
• 31:51
  > Speaker F>Teensy, teensy tinies.
• 31:54
  > Speaker F>Okay, we're gonna do.
• 31:56
  > Speaker D>Okay, folks, you're. If you're catching up with us, we're gonna take, uh.
• 32:02
  > Speaker F>It was just a hunt.
• 32:03
  > Speaker D>This is a red blooded American in an old school with an old school.
• 32:09
  > Speaker B>Weller in the short, squatty bottle.
• 32:11
  > Speaker F>So this is a Weller 107 and the red label. I just had a hunch on this.
• 32:19
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 32:20
  > Speaker D>Okay, we're gonna tell you what it's like after the break.
• 32:24
  > Speaker D>Welcome back, everyone. So today's episode is a brewery takeover, um, of mirror twin brewing company from Lexington, Kentucky. Right before the break, Carrie Ann had this ingenious idea, she's so smart, of combining the red blooded american red ale with some, um, old school Weller 107.
• 32:49
  > Speaker F>Um, also red label.
• 32:51
  > Speaker D>Yes, also red label. Red with red.
• 32:54
  > Speaker D>And.
• 32:55
  > Speaker F>And I'm a redhead, and Carrie Ann's a redhead. And also.
• 33:01
  > Speaker F>Damn.
• 33:03
  > Speaker D>So the consensus is it doesn't suck.
• 33:08
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 33:10
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 33:12
  > Speaker E>That could be the best pairing we've had in a while. Yeah, no, it's great.
• 33:18
  > Speaker D>Yeah.
• 33:19
  > Speaker E>Everything just. It just flows like plays off each other. Yeah.
• 33:23
  > Speaker D>Um, you know, and for those of you that don't think that beer and bourbon, or whiskey, for that matter, can go together, they don't know. They really can.
• 33:35
  > Speaker E>You're so dumb.
• 33:36
  > Speaker D>They really, really can.
• 33:38
  > Speaker B>There's no whiskey back as a thing.
• 33:40
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 33:41
  > Speaker F>No. Oh, this front. This has to be in the front. This isn't like one behind the other. These are pairing.
• 33:50
  > Speaker B>You gotta get it on there side by side. It's almost like a mirror twin.
• 33:54
  > Speaker F>Almost like a mirror twin.
• 33:56
  > Speaker E>Except one of the.
• 33:57
  > Speaker F>Except for both equal size, except one.
• 34:02
  > Speaker E>Twin is, like, 6%, and the other twin is, like, you know, 107.
• 34:06
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 34:07
  > Speaker F>Percent. Correct, correct.
• 34:11
  > Speaker E>50. You know, 53.
• 34:15
  > Speaker B>In beer math, that's close enough.
• 34:17
  > Speaker D>Yes. Okay, so. But speaking of red ales, this isn't bad.
• 34:23
  > Speaker E>It's a nice red ale. It's chocolatey, a little roasty.
• 34:26
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 34:26
  > Speaker D>Uh, and I like how they say that this is like the marriage between going from an IPA or a blonde or something like that, and then, like, sort of dipping your toe. And what can be darker and murkier.
• 34:41
  > Speaker B>And deeper and richer because people are afraid of malt.
• 34:44
  > Speaker B>Right.
• 34:44
  > Speaker D>Right.
• 34:45
  > Speaker B>You can't have a malt. You can't have a darker beer unless you throw in a whole bunch of adjunct flavors, you know, candy bars and all that stuff between me and my hops. Yeah.
• 34:55
  > Speaker E>Or my lactose.
• 34:57
  > Speaker C>Yeah. Ah.
• 34:57
  > Speaker D>Or something scary.
• 34:58
  > Speaker B>Yes.
• 34:59
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 35:00
  > Speaker F>I was like, a four on its own, but with the weller.
• 35:03
  > Speaker B>It's a 17. Yeah, it's a 17.
• 35:06
  > Speaker C>You know what?
• 35:07
  > Speaker E>We're gonna rate the pairing.
• 35:08
  > Speaker F>I'm gonna go.
• 35:08
  > Speaker E>Okay, so the pairing.
• 35:10
  > Speaker D>Oh, a 512.
• 35:12
  > Speaker B>It's a heck of a miracle.
• 35:13
  > Speaker C>If we can.
• 35:14
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 35:20
  > Speaker D>And, um, this is why we bring.
• 35:22
  > Speaker F>Carrie Ann to the table occasionally.
• 35:24
  > Speaker D>Yes, yes, yes. Yum, yum, yum.
• 35:26
  > Speaker D>Okay, now let's get to you and me and Mister PB.
• 35:34
  > Speaker F>I'm not mad at this.
• 35:35
  > Speaker B>Are you serious?
• 35:41
  > Speaker E>Oh, uh, it smells like peanuts.
• 35:43
  > Speaker F>I think you just gotta pull out.
• 35:44
  > Speaker B>It's like putting a peanuts in my mouth.
• 35:47
  > Speaker F>Screwball shot. And then this.
• 35:50
  > Speaker B>Yeah, no, I have. Okay, I'm just gonna come out here.
• 35:55
  > Speaker F>Toast, peanut butter, pop.
• 35:58
  > Speaker B>Your opinion.
• 35:58
  > Speaker D>Now, granted, this is only 5.6% abv.
• 36:03
  > Speaker D>Okay, so chocolate peanut butter milk stout.
• 36:07
  > Speaker C>Very.
• 36:07
  > Speaker B>So, I mean, adding peanut butter as an adjunct to a beer can be.
• 36:13
  > Speaker B>There's lots of ways to do it, and. And sometimes it can be a disaster. And I know. I just want to go on record. I'm not a peanut butter fan.
• 36:22
  > Speaker B>I'm just not. I know. That puts me.
• 36:24
  > Speaker E>Son of a giddy.
• 36:25
  > Speaker B>I know, I know.
• 36:26
  > Speaker F>But is it because of the floor?
• 36:29
  > Speaker F>Peanuts?
• 36:30
  > Speaker B>It is. It all comes back to that. My traumatic. I was abandoned at a Logan's road.
• 36:36
  > Speaker E>House he woke up on.
• 36:37
  > Speaker B>That's where my family found me.
• 36:39
  > Speaker E>He woke up on a rolling, uh.
• 36:43
  > Speaker B>A, uh, pile of peanut shells. But I'm one of those weirdos who are like, look, I'll eat a reese's peanut butter cup. That's great, but it's not like something I seek out. I'm kind of meh on peanut butter and. And the whole, like, screwball thing, like, I find offensive, frankly.
• 36:58
  > Speaker F>It is.
• 36:59
  > Speaker E>Sure.
• 36:59
  > Speaker B>This.
• 37:00
  > Speaker E>I think we can actually kind of.
• 37:02
  > Speaker C>Nice.
• 37:02
  > Speaker B>And I'm kind of embarrassed to say that.
• 37:04
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 37:05
  > Speaker F>Yeah.
• 37:05
  > Speaker E>Don't be embarrassed. I so like the peanut flavor on this beer. The peanut and chocolate flavor on this beer is really well balanced. I don't like the body on it. I think it's a little too thin. But, uh, at five point whatever percent, I can live with it.
• 37:22
  > Speaker E>I think this is a really well made nice.
• 37:26
  > Speaker D>Yeah, this is 5.5. I mean, I think, honestly, if they. If they beefed up the malt bill a little bit more, maybe to come off some, um.
• 37:37
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 37:38
  > Speaker D>Added some oats, maybe to make it a little bit creamier, you know, and thicker, maybe.
• 37:44
  > Speaker D>But I, uh, love their base. Yeah. Because it's not that astringent, fake peanut butter oil taste that you get.
• 37:52
  > Speaker B>Or the powdered.
• 37:53
  > Speaker C>Yeah. Right.
• 37:53
  > Speaker D>Right where you know that it's fake. This is like. It's just enough. The peanut butter's floating on the top. Like, you know it's there, but you're not overwhelmed by it, but it still.
• 38:03
  > Speaker F>Like, has enough of the peanut. Like, it's coating your mouth.
• 38:06
  > Speaker F>It's not like a heavy mouth feel, but it's like. I think it's.
• 38:10
  > Speaker D>It's just enough.
• 38:11
  > Speaker F>It's fine. I like it.
• 38:13
  > Speaker E>Okay.
• 38:14
  > Speaker D>This is. I mean, and I was worried at first.
• 38:18
  > Speaker E>This is fine.
• 38:20
  > Speaker B>It's the greatest compliment I've ever been given in my life. You're fine.
• 38:23
  > Speaker F>It's just.
• 38:24
  > Speaker C>You did okay.
• 38:25
  > Speaker E>You're good, buddy.
• 38:26
  > Speaker B>You check the boxes?
• 38:27
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 38:27
  > Speaker E>All right.
• 38:28
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 38:29
  > Speaker F>It's not, like, super viscous, but it is, like, mouth coating in a way that is, like.
• 38:34
  > Speaker F>Could substitute that.
• 38:36
  > Speaker D>But you're not just getting, like, peanut butter oil, mouth coating.
• 38:39
  > Speaker D>You're getting some chocolate in there, too, for sure.
• 38:41
  > Speaker B>Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:43
  > Speaker F>You put your chocolate in that peanut butter.
• 38:46
  > Speaker D>Yeah. Kudos, man.
• 38:47
  > Speaker E>I'm so catching that.
• 38:49
  > Speaker B>That commercial.
• 38:50
  > Speaker C>Yeah. Yeah.
• 38:51
  > Speaker B>From, um, our.
• 38:53
  > Speaker C>Yeah, yeah.
• 38:54
  > Speaker B>For sure.
• 38:55
  > Speaker F>Yeah.
• 38:55
  > Speaker D>We're gonna have to.
• 38:56
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 38:57
  > Speaker D>Okay, so we shall rate this.
• 38:59
  > Speaker B>Oh.
• 39:02
  > Speaker E>Look at these guys. I mean, they started out struggling, and.
• 39:06
  > Speaker D>Now, again, there, we're into four territory.
• 39:09
  > Speaker D>Okay, now we have to go to the kitten mittens.
• 39:14
  > Speaker C>Wait, do we have.
• 39:15
  > Speaker E>Do we have that beer? I don't think anyone.
• 39:16
  > Speaker F>Oh, it's right here.
• 39:18
  > Speaker D>It's coming.
• 39:19
  > Speaker F>I have yet to pour it.
• 39:21
  > Speaker E>Oh, we found the new reverend mark of the show.
• 39:23
  > Speaker F>Wait a minute.
• 39:25
  > Speaker D>Okay, so that, uh, we're going to talk about is a 6% porter.
• 39:32
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 39:32
  > Speaker D>They're classic porter returns.
• 39:35
  > Speaker D>Interesting, because I just.
• 39:37
  > Speaker B>Is your cat too loud?
• 39:40
  > Speaker F>Confused about your research now?
• 39:44
  > Speaker E>This beer is so cool. Well, there's a really cool story behind this.
• 39:48
  > Speaker D>I'm going to speak.
• 39:51
  > Speaker D>Thank you. Okay.
• 39:54
  > Speaker D>A me. A medium bodied beer with a malt forward aroma and taste.
• 40:00
  > Speaker D>Slight chocolate notes and hint of roasted grain. Shine.
• 40:03
  > Speaker D>Not too sweet and not too bitter. This is a very balanced beer. We teamed up with the working cat project this year, which is dedicated to giving feral cats a second chance at.
• 40:14
  > Speaker F>Life.
• 40:17
  > Speaker D>Through bay neuter and relocation to safe barn homes across the bluegrass. Uh, and a portion of the proceeds will go directly to them.
• 40:31
  > Speaker E>I think that's awesome.
• 40:32
  > Speaker D>Like.
• 40:32
  > Speaker E>Like, cats that you don't want in your house.
• 40:36
  > Speaker F>Not the wild cats.
• 40:38
  > Speaker C>Well, the. No.
• 40:39
  > Speaker E>So some feral cats.
• 40:40
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 40:40
  > Speaker F>Feral cats.
• 40:41
  > Speaker B>So, the name of this beer comes from, uh, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.
• 40:46
  > Speaker F>Are you sure?
• 40:47
  > Speaker D>Yes.
• 40:48
  > Speaker E>Oh, he's sure.
• 40:49
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 40:49
  > Speaker B>100% positive. So, Charlie day comes up with a thing, uh, for his cats where, like, is your cat too loud? And he puts, like, these little mittens on the kitten, and they fall off of the tape. Like, the cat can't walk with the mittens on.
• 41:07
  > Speaker B>And, uh, yeah, it's. It's fantastic.
• 41:10
  > Speaker B>I despise cats.
• 41:12
  > Speaker B>I know. What you've allowed me in your home so many times. I know. I'm a dog person. Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.
• 41:22
  > Speaker E>Uh, doggy style. That's what he likes.
• 41:25
  > Speaker F>Uh, okay.
• 41:26
  > Speaker E>But I support.
• 41:26
  > Speaker B>Support this project and what it's doing.
• 41:30
  > Speaker F>Step it down. Date. So here's what.
• 41:33
  > Speaker B>Yes, ma'am.
• 41:34
  > Speaker F>You either love animals or you don't. So you can't love dogs and hate cats, and we're done with you.
• 41:40
  > Speaker F>But moving on.
• 41:44
  > Speaker F>Kitten mitten.
• 41:48
  > Speaker F>Uh, yeah, yeah. It's light, but it's also, like, you know.
• 41:55
  > Speaker D>And again, let's. You know, we came from the peanut butter.
• 41:59
  > Speaker F>Hm.
• 42:00
  > Speaker B>Not like that's a pretty big sea change.
• 42:05
  > Speaker F>I don't know if this is the correct order, but I didn't make it.
• 42:07
  > Speaker B>But I think that.
• 42:09
  > Speaker D>I know.
• 42:10
  > Speaker B>I mean, honestly, I really like the idea that this, like, helps cats out, you know?
• 42:16
  > Speaker C>No, seriously.
• 42:17
  > Speaker E>I'm not being facetious.
• 42:19
  > Speaker B>I'm being serious.
• 42:20
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 42:21
  > Speaker F>You know what I feel pairs well.
• 42:22
  > Speaker E>With cool with them having a job, you know?
• 42:27
  > Speaker B>Yeah, exactly.
• 42:28
  > Speaker F>I kind of could go back and forth between those two mirrors.
• 42:31
  > Speaker B>The peanut butter and.
• 42:32
  > Speaker F>Yeah.
• 42:33
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 42:33
  > Speaker B>All right.
• 42:34
  > Speaker F>Because this is a palate cleansing.
• 42:35
  > Speaker E>This is a nice. It's not super chocolatey or. I think it's a decent porter. I think it's so, um. And I hate to do.
• 42:47
  > Speaker C>God.
• 42:47
  > Speaker B>What do you.
• 42:48
  > Speaker C>What's going on? Uh.
• 42:49
  > Speaker F>Oh.
• 42:50
  > Speaker E>To quote good old boy Mike.
• 42:52
  > Speaker C>Oh.
• 42:54
  > Speaker F>Can we veto?
• 42:56
  > Speaker E>My favorite sign of a good porter is, like, check it against, like, a tootsie roll. So that sort of, like, sweet, chocolatey kind of taste. And I think this has enough of that.
• 43:11
  > Speaker F>Do you get a bonus every time you mention his name?
• 43:13
  > Speaker E>No, but if I did, it would be, like, every other minute now. Ah. Do I get a bonus in my heart for ripping on him?
• 43:23
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 43:23
  > Speaker B>Every m time.
• 43:24
  > Speaker C>Yes. Yes.
• 43:26
  > Speaker D>Okay, well, cool.
• 43:30
  > Speaker E>I don't know where that went, but, yeah, so there's some nice tootsie roll notes in there.
• 43:35
  > Speaker D>There is some tootsie roll that you would expect out of a porter. I mean, this is. This is easy. And maybe I'm liking it a little bit more because of what we just came off of with the wellers.
• 43:48
  > Speaker F>With the weller.
• 43:49
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 43:49
  > Speaker B>But I.
• 43:50
  > Speaker D>But I'm still digging it, though.
• 43:54
  > Speaker D>I don't mind that porters aren't supposed to be offensive. Right. And this is not that.
• 43:58
  > Speaker C>No.
• 43:58
  > Speaker B>And, um, I mean, I feel like, again, as we venture more into the darker beers, like, I feel like Porter's always, like, nobody stops there. They go straight to stout, or even worse, stout plus 1 million adjuncts.
• 44:12
  > Speaker D>Right, right.
• 44:13
  > Speaker B>If you can make a straight porter, like, God bless you.
• 44:15
  > Speaker B>Like, making.
• 44:17
  > Speaker F>Well, yeah, I can only make gay porters, but I really do appreciate a straight porter.
• 44:23
  > Speaker E>Wow.
• 44:24
  > Speaker B>Well, it depends on how you tip them. And, uh, yeah, yeah, I would say.
• 44:30
  > Speaker E>Like, a good porter is like a good pale Alex, you know, cuz everybody wants to go ip extremes.
• 44:37
  > Speaker C>Right? Right.
• 44:38
  > Speaker E>Like, you're saying, like, stout. Everybody wants to go IPA.
• 44:40
  > Speaker B>Yeah. That's a great. Dave, that's, uh, smartest person you are, man. It's because of your hat.
• 44:49
  > Speaker B>That is an amazing hat, by the way.
• 44:50
  > Speaker E>Oh, she just fell over chair, and.
• 44:54
  > Speaker B>That means I win.
• 44:56
  > Speaker E>Okay, what do we want to rate this. This dog?
• 45:00
  > Speaker D>Oh, we're gonna rate this a four, kitten. Yes.
• 45:07
  > Speaker D>Okay, we have time for a bonus beer. So what you have in front of you is. I have two, so you should give one to.
• 45:17
  > Speaker E>Oh, one of those is yours.
• 45:19
  > Speaker C>Oh, boy.
• 45:19
  > Speaker F>Do I have a bonus.
• 45:20
  > Speaker C>You do. Is this.
• 45:21
  > Speaker B>Oh, you have a bonus.
• 45:23
  > Speaker D>Okay, so this is called most def.
• 45:28
  > Speaker B>Oh, okay.
• 45:29
  > Speaker D>Right.
• 45:29
  > Speaker B>I like most def.
• 45:30
  > Speaker D>It's an IPA. This is a, uh, fantastic IPA with.
• 45:35
  > Speaker B>A. Oh, my God. That label just hypnotized me.
• 45:38
  > Speaker D>Yes. That utilizes the fruity and citrus wonder of mosaic. Hops.
• 45:44
  > Speaker E>Mosaics. My favorite.
• 45:46
  > Speaker D>Although generally hard to get, we made sure we got our hands on these hops to make this beer.
• 45:52
  > Speaker D>This is a seven and a half percent ABV IPA.
• 45:59
  > Speaker B>Just smell it on the nose because you're getting so much sweetness and grains, and it's, uh, not overwhelming.
• 46:06
  > Speaker F>Where else would you smell it?
• 46:08
  > Speaker B>Well, wow.
• 46:11
  > Speaker B>I will talk to you about the kittens.
• 46:13
  > Speaker B>Yeah.
• 46:15
  > Speaker D>Honestly, this brings out a side of mosaic that you don't see too often.
• 46:21
  > Speaker F>Tell me more.
• 46:22
  > Speaker E>The dark side.
• 46:23
  > Speaker D>No, no, no, no.
• 46:26
  > Speaker E>Where she was.
• 46:27
  > Speaker D>No, that citrusy, but you don't, there's something special about this.
• 46:33
  > Speaker E>She was hurt early and often.
• 46:37
  > Speaker D>Oh, oh, oh.
• 46:39
  > Speaker E>Carrie Ann found it. She m found mosaic's other side.
• 46:43
  > Speaker F>Mm hmm.
• 46:45
  > Speaker B>This is, this is quite, there's a tea.
• 46:51
  > Speaker F>Fruity. What's that gum? The tutti frutti.
• 46:53
  > Speaker B>Oh, uh, fruit stripe gum.
• 46:55
  > Speaker F>Um, yes.
• 46:55
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 46:56
  > Speaker B>But it so lasts for 5 seconds.
• 46:58
  > Speaker D>The thing about mosaic that you normally get is you're gonna get lots of citrus, right?
• 47:03
  > Speaker C>Sure.
• 47:03
  > Speaker D>Well, citrus and melon, but there's, but there's also this blueberry aspect to it that you don't get. Blueberry, but I'm getting that from here. Yes.
• 47:15
  > Speaker E>So you can get antioxidants from this beer.
• 47:18
  > Speaker B>So it's basically.
• 47:20
  > Speaker C>Sure.
• 47:20
  > Speaker B>Yeah. Totally love it.
• 47:23
  > Speaker D>No, but I'm getting a little bit of the blueberry side of the hops.
• 47:29
  > Speaker F>I'm going.
• 47:30
  > Speaker C>I get that.
• 47:30
  > Speaker F>I'm trying. I can't.
• 47:32
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 47:33
  > Speaker F>I like it.
• 47:37
  > Speaker F>Maybe a little of the tartness.
• 47:39
  > Speaker B>Uh, you know.
• 47:45
  > Speaker D>We don't, but I, but I just, I like what they, however they managed the hops.
• 47:52
  > Speaker E>Yeah.
• 47:53
  > Speaker D>I think they, it works. It's, and it makes it a little unique.
• 47:57
  > Speaker B>It is. And there's, I'm really getting, like, a stone fruit kind of thing from it.
• 48:04
  > Speaker F>Which one?
• 48:05
  > Speaker E>The stoniest.
• 48:06
  > Speaker D>Like, are you talking, like nectarines?
• 48:09
  > Speaker B>No, like a apricot?
• 48:11
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 48:11
  > Speaker B>Apricots.
• 48:12
  > Speaker C>Yes.
• 48:12
  > Speaker C>Okay.
• 48:13
  > Speaker B>For sure.
• 48:14
  > Speaker E>That is the stoniest of all stone fruits.
• 48:17
  > Speaker E>No, that's science.
• 48:18
  > Speaker C>Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:19
  > Speaker B>There's been studies that prove that.
• 48:22
  > Speaker E>Yeah. So what are we gonna do?
• 48:24
  > Speaker F>Consensus.
• 48:25
  > Speaker D>We are gonna rate the most f a four.
• 48:31
  > Speaker C>Thank you.
• 48:32
  > Speaker E>Most def.
• 48:32
  > Speaker D>Uh, wow. Um, you know, this was a really interesting brewery takeover.
• 48:38
  > Speaker B>Yeah. I mean, shaky. It did, and I was really concerned, but I'm so happy.
• 48:44
  > Speaker B>Hey, guys. You pulled it out, and being open for, like, six months.
• 48:50
  > Speaker F>Yeah, open for less than six months.
• 48:53
  > Speaker F>But five years of acclaim, I mean, that's a special skill set.
• 48:56
  > Speaker C>Well, it is.
• 48:57
  > Speaker D>I mean, and what we had that was good.
• 49:01
  > Speaker D>Are beers that, uh, usually take a long time to get dialed in.
• 49:05
  > Speaker E>I think what I learned is that Kentucky has unlocked the secret of time travel.
• 49:09
  > Speaker C>Mmm.
• 49:09
  > Speaker B>M wow.
• 49:11
  > Speaker D>Maybe.
• 49:11
  > Speaker C>Yeah.
• 49:12
  > Speaker D>Okay.
• 49:13
  > Speaker B>There's a flux capacitor.
• 49:15
  > Speaker E>People love their beers for five years. They've only been open for four months.
• 49:18
  > Speaker B>I mean, you know, you learn something fair.
• 49:23
  > Speaker D>That's fair.
• 49:24
