Yeah, you go with Rommel numerals, you're gonna mess me up. Volume iv. How does that sound? Belgian blonde ale. Summon the moon lord from 2025, an English barley wine double barrel through woven branches. A dark lager. And if we have time, we just might have a bonus beer.

  > Julianna>Hey, everyone. Welcome, welcome, welcome to another suds segment where we love old things. In fact, when I look around at the table, all I see are, hey, I resemble that. Never mind. Uh, I'm one of your hosts, good old gal Juliana. Joining me today at the table is good old boy Kendall.
• 2:21
  > Kendall>Hi. How you doing?
• 2:23
  > Julianna>I'm so good. So happy to have you here. And wait, who's that guy there? Wait. Yeah. What?
• 2:29
  > Reverend Mark>This is not theatrical. Uh.
• 2:32
  > Dave>We smuggled him in across the border.
• 2:34
  > Julianna>Reverend Mark. Oh, my gosh.
• 2:38
  > Reverend Mark>Great. Beyond great to be here.
• 2:41
  > Kendall>Cool.
• 2:41
  > Julianna>Oh, my gosh. Good boy Scar. Sparky. How are you, Scarpy?
• 2:46
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I feel great.
• 2:51
  > Julianna>Yeah, a little personal thing there. Um, and good old boy Dave. How are you?
• 2:55
  > Kendall>Hi.
• 2:56
  > Dave>I've got a personal thing, too, but I'm not gonna share it.
• 3:00
  > Julianna>Oh.
• 3:01
  > Dave>Because it's personal.
• 3:02
  > Julianna>Okay, that. That makes sense. Are you gonna give yourself a ding?
• 3:06
  > Dave>Well, sure, Give myself a ding. Ding.
• 3:11
  > Julianna>Uh, okay. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Well, today marks the triumphant return of our prodigal son, good old boy, Reverend Mark. Wow, that's a mouthful.
• 3:22
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : That was a lot of marks.
• 3:24
  > Reverend Mark>But, you know, the prodigal son came looking for a handout, so at least I brought some beer, Right?
• 3:30
  > Julianna>That is fair. Um, from the wilds of Maryland. He has, um, blessed us with a short visit and has brought some goodies with him in the form of a flight of beer from Elder Pine Brewing and Blending Company in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
• 3:43
  > Julianna>Reverend Mark, why don't you give us a little bit about Elder Pine and why you wanted to bring some of their beer with you today for us to share.
• 3:51
  > Reverend Mark>Well, you know, being so displaced in a part of the country that does have really some serious beer foundational kind of companies, I think. You know, I'm very close to Kennett Square and the Victory Brewing. So, um, I was looking for something that was doing similar kinds of work to say, like Barique here in Nashville with blending and barreling. As soon as we moved to Elkton, Maryland, I got to know the beer curator. I'll call him at the State Line Liquor and beer store.
• 4:23
  > Reverend Mark>From the highway. It doesn't look like much, but you get in there and it is a beer emporium. Long story short, he steered me immediately in the direction of Elder Pine, saying that, you know, it's a one off company. They're doing blending and barreling and on Mondays they always get new product for a little over a year. You know, I've been kind of selecting things as they come out.
• 4:44
  > Reverend Mark>Now I brought samples today only of clean beer, but you know, they're very much into mixed fermentations and just nice crazy, wild stuff as well. So they are very well known with beer affectionados of varying degrees, but they don't have a huge distribution, maybe 2,000 barrels a year. Self distributing company. But I have been just very pleased with everything they're putting out. Especially I'd say two out of three of the beers that drop on Monday are typically some kind of lager.
• 5:13
  > Julianna>Oh, nice.
• 5:14
  > Reverend Mark>So anyway, we can talk about the ones that I've brought, but, uh, Cool. I really appreciate the guys at the brewery. I don't know them all that well personally yet, except I've just been in conversation with them and Paul Davidson, their brewer, uh, is really, uh, looking at doing what he wants to do only, and he's being very successful with that. Meaning that I'm just brewing the beers that I personally want to drink.
• 5:40
  > Reverend Mark>And it seems like everybody kind of agrees with his taste.
• 5:44
  > Julianna>Yeah, well, I mean, in this day and age, kudos, you know what I mean?
• 5:48
  > Kendall>Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:48
  > Julianna>That's awesome.
• 5:49
  > Dave>Well, we did cover Notorpine Beer, uh, back on a Maryland takeover a few years ago.
• 5:54
  > Kendall>Oh, really?
• 5:55
  > Dave>Episode called the Boom Boom Room. So, uh, everybody should go check that out. But I am glad we get to focus exclusively on the brewery this time. And for you guys at Elder Pine, when you listen to this, if you're looking for A part time reverend to come in and bless all of your new beers, uh, and taste them for you. Uh, I'm sure Reverend Mark could be.
• 6:16
  > Reverend Mark>I am. I am there.
• 6:18
  > Julianna>Yeah, he would be the perfect guy.
• 6:20
  > Dave>He's a cheap date. So get him in there.
• 6:23
  > Julianna>So we hear. So we hear. Okay. Good old boy.
• 6:27
  > Julianna>Kendall, why don't you give us today's lineup.
• 6:30
  > Kendall>The Elder Pine brewing and blending beers we'll be trying today are E.P. pils, a German pilsner, moonscribe, volume nine. I think that's nine. I'm not sure on my route. Yeah, you go with rhombo numerals, you're gonna mess me up. Volume iv. How does that sound? Belgian Blonde Ale, Summon the moon Lord from 2025. In English. Barley wine, Double barrel Through Woven Branches, a dark lager. And if we have time, we just might have a bonus beer.
• 7:04
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 7:04
  > Reverend Mark>Yes.
• 7:05
  > Julianna>Gotta love the bonus beers.
• 7:07
  > Dave>Okay, so we will be tasting these and, uh, rating them from one to five as we go.
• 7:13
  > Julianna>Oh, thank you very much. Okay.
• 7:15
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 7:16
  > Julianna>Let's get to the first beer. Beer.
• 7:21
  > Kendall>Huh?
• 7:21
  > Julianna>Huh? That's cute. Okay, um, what we're passing around at the table right now is the pilsner, otherwise known as the EP pills. It is 5% ABV classic pilsner brewed with the finest German barley and check hops that money can buy. It's dry and crisp as a German pilsner and with both flavors and aromatics of a chuck pilsner. Ah. See what they did there?
• 7:45
  > Dave>Considering the age group of the table, it's probably good we're having EP pills and not ED pills.
• 7:50
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 7:54
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I really like the cans. The design of the cans, it's just really simple and it's really.
• 8:00
  > Dave>Yeah, it's just cool looking though.
• 8:01
  > Reverend Mark>Y. Yeah. Tough.
• 8:03
  > Julianna>From afar, it almost looked like a crab. And then I realized it was something more medieval.
• 8:09
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 8:11
  > Julianna>Cool. Okay, so what's everyone's tasting notes?
• 8:14
  > Kendall>It's a really nice pilsner. I mean, it smells the way you think a pilsner is going to smell.
• 8:18
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You know, just right on the nose.
• 8:20
  > Kendall>A little bit of graininess from the.
• 8:22
  > Reverend Mark>Exactly.
• 8:22
  > Kendall>Grain.
• 8:23
  > Dave>And there's.
• 8:23
  > Kendall>There's a little, you know, just a hint of maybe some spicy hops, but not much. Yeah, because they did say some Czech style in there, but, uh, boy, it's beautiful.
• 8:33
  > Reverend Mark>I think it has a very tight mouth feel too. It's just a crisp. The effervescence of it is kind of tight and then opens up lightly drying.
• 8:41
  > Dave>On your mouth, you know, which is nice.
• 8:43
  > Kendall>It's so well made. It doesn't remind you of many American pilsners. This has got the. This, this has got those old world flavors.
• 8:52
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : What's the ABV on this sucker?
• 8:53
  > Julianna>Five.
• 8:54
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Okay.
• 8:55
  > Dave>That's right.
• 8:56
  > Kendall>Perfect, perfect.
• 8:57
  > Reverend Mark>And this is, this is one of my go to beers. It's their only. I won't say only, but it's sort of their perennial beer that they're always brewing and most everything else is just sort of coming out and possibly coming back. But this is a mainstay.
• 9:14
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Reverend Mark, have you shotgunned one of these yet?
• 9:16
  > Reverend Mark>Yes.
• 9:17
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You have. Okay, thank you. I just needed to know how that works. Okay.
• 9:23
  > Julianna>I'm sure it would be easy.
• 9:24
  > Reverend Mark>And ah, this is one of those beers where, you know, if you ask yourself, is this a really excellent, even great beer, you know, one criteria is can I drink three of these in a row?
• 9:34
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I will take that challenge.
• 9:36
  > Reverend Mark>I could drink three of these in a row.
• 9:38
  > Julianna>Yeah. At least.
• 9:39
  > Kendall>Even at a 16 ounce can, these are crushable.
• 9:42
  > Dave>Sparky, uh, what are you going to pair with this?
• 9:44
  > Dave>Food wise?
• 9:45
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I mean, I'm sorry, I like immediately went to.
• 9:49
  > Dave>This would be so great with some hot chicken. I thought that this would just pair so well with that.
• 9:55
  > Dave>Pull you off a little bit.
• 9:57
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah, yeah. Like just. It would cut into the heat really well. I think specifically if I was going to choose a place, it'd probably be some. Some Bolton's fried chicken. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, I mean that's the other thing. When I took the first drink of this, that was what I wanted was either to do yard work or have some delicious food to go along with it. One of the two.
• 10:18
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 10:18
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I got yelled at yesterday because I got done cleaning up all the leaves around my house and I had a shower beer. And my wife was like, are you drinking beer? Yes, and yes, I am. This is my reward.
• 10:30
  > Reverend Mark>Why.
• 10:30
  > Dave>Why isn't everyone drinking beer in the shower?
• 10:33
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : And I would have so much rather had this beer rather than what I did have. So.
• 10:37
  > Julianna>Well. Very. Yeah. Very good. So what shall we rate this as if there's. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, so the EP pills from Elder Pine Brewing and Blending. We are going to rate a 5. Well, we will be back in just a minute with more. Welcome back, everyone. Today's episode is a brewery takeover by our prodigal son, Reverend Mark, who has. Yes. Who has come back to visit with us for a minute.
• 11:12
  > Kendall>Welcome.
• 11:13
  > Reverend Mark>Real ding is hallelujah.
• 11:14
  > Julianna>Yes. So he brought some beer from Elder Pine Brewing and Blending in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
• 11:19
  > Julianna>And I believe I have been to that brewery in a quest in Maryland to get some beer one time a long time ago. And I remember it being nice because it's, it's.
• 11:31
  > Reverend Mark>It's in Montgomery county and it's maybe uh, 30m20. 30 miles from D.C. it's not that far.
• 11:37
  > Julianna>Yeah, yeah. In relation to. To Baltimore. Yeah, I remember it was very quick.
• 11:42
  > Dave>I thought they only made Natty Bo in uh.
• 11:47
  > Julianna>Well, they allow a couple other brewers to do some things from time to time, but. Oh man, I miss Natty Bow.
• 11:54
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Natty Bow all day and I missed that.
• 11:56
  > Julianna>Sorry. Yes, I'm showing my roots. Okay, um, onward and upward. Let's go to a Belgian blonde. Not one in particular. Well, actually one in particular.
• 12:05
  > Julianna>This is called The Moon Scribe Volume 4. It is 6.6% ABV. Um, hopped with rwaka and aged Solera style in their American oak Fooders Solara is an act of removing only a portion of the beer from the fooder and then replenishing it with fresh wort to referment and continue to age in oak with traces of every batch before it. In case you don't know what a Solera is, they do that with whiskey too sometimes. Right?
• 12:34
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah.
• 12:35
  > Julianna>Um, I remember American Solera doing that in Oklahoma. Right.
• 12:39
  > Dave>Who's that brewery in Catawampus, North Carolina.
• 12:42
  > Dave>Not Catawampus.
• 12:44
  > Julianna>Um, Catawba.
• 12:45
  > Dave>Oh no.
• 12:46
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Paul and Walpack. No, I feel like you're just making up words now. None of those were actual words.
• 12:56
  > Julianna>I think you're trying to take my.
• 12:58
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Under theus.
• 13:00
  > Dave>The one that's under the pollen Wa Pack General Store.
• 13:04
  > Julianna>Oh yes. Oh man, I didn't think about this. No, it's. We were there.
• 13:11
  > Kendall>Yeah.
• 13:11
  > Dave>They do this little table beer and it's, it's slightly funky, but it's a Solara, so.
• 13:16
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : But it's just cuz they're backwashing into a Sola and then.
• 13:20
  > Dave>Well, the dishwasher from the General story rolls down.
• 13:23
  > Kendall>Down.
• 13:24
  > Reverend Mark>That one.
• 13:25
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Got it.
• 13:26
  > Julianna>Yeah.
• 13:28
  > Dave>North Carolina, that's where the brewery is.
• 13:30
  > Julianna>Okay, so for volume back to the beer, which beer are we talking about? Okay, yes, we are talking about the Moonscribe Belgian blonde. So for this volume, Volume three, you can expect notes of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, spring hay, Bazooka bubble gum.
• 13:47
  > Kendall>Haha.
• 13:47
  > Julianna>He said Bazooka. Stewed pears and classic Belgian spice.
• 13:52
  > Kendall>Wow. There definitely is a little bit of Bazooka bubblegum in that. But this is beautiful.
• 13:56
  > Reverend Mark>Wow.
• 13:57
  > Kendall>It's such an interesting beer to do a Solera on.
• 14:00
  > Kendall>Usually they're A little bit bigger. They got bigger personalities to do it off a blonde. Yeah, that's that little bit of funk. It's so smooth.
• 14:07
  > Kendall>It's light.
• 14:09
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You definitely get the citrus on the nose. Like, before I tasted it. I was expecting more of that in the flavor, but not so much.
• 14:15
  > Kendall>Really enjoyable.
• 14:16
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : And you can't get away from Bazooka. Now that you said Bazooka bubble gum. That's like one of those, like, complete, unavoidable.
• 14:24
  > Kendall>Yeah, but a lemon.
• 14:25
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah, it's good.
• 14:27
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah. I want a river.
• 14:29
  > Dave>Sorry, sorry. To bust right back into this saxophone hall, North Carolina. Hall River.
• 14:33
  > Reverend Mark>Sorry.
• 14:34
  > Dave>I'm done.
• 14:34
  > Kendall>Okay.
• 14:34
  > Julianna>Okay.
• 14:35
  > Dave>Yeah. This beer's awesome, though.
• 14:39
  > Julianna>Look, I was going through my filing cabinet to figure out where.
• 14:42
  > Dave>Yes, my filing cabinets.
• 14:44
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I love the finish on this too. It's.
• 14:46
  > Julianna>It's really m. Yeah, it's a creaminess, but it ends like, it doesn't linger. It's. Yeah, but there's a.
• 14:54
  > Reverend Mark>There's also a spice and a mineral aspect on. On the finish with me too. So it's. It's a little cleansing semi dry.
• 15:01
  > Dave>It's like holy water.
• 15:03
  > Kendall>Yeah, you're right. It's a little chalky on the finish.
• 15:07
  > Dave>What was the ABV on this?
• 15:09
  > Julianna>Six. Six. Wow.
• 15:10
  > Kendall>That does not taste like it.
• 15:11
  > Reverend Mark>It doesn't.
• 15:12
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : That's.
• 15:13
  > Reverend Mark>This is. This is a very crushable six.
• 15:15
  > Dave>If you would have said, like, this was a 4% beer, I would believe you because I would just think it was a very flavorful four. But it's so light and just delicate.
• 15:26
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You know, A Kendall I commented on, uh, he's wearing a celebration fresh, uh, hop sweatshirt right now, and I've been drinking so much of that right now. And I love the malty backbone of that beer, like, because I just don't think you get that a lot.
• 15:39
  > Kendall>And.
• 15:39
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : And that's like, I think a 6, 8 beer. Like, this is so deceptive. I know I'm drinking. I know what I'm getting myself into when I drink that beer.
• 15:46
  > Kendall>It's like I'm committing. This is going to mess me up fast. This would absolutely come like a thief in the night.
• 15:56
  > Dave>This is a sneaky blonde.
• 15:58
  > Reverend Mark>And you. You could almost serve it in a champagne flute or something.
• 16:01
  > Julianna>Yes, sure, sure. But what an approachable beer, though, too. Like, I. I could see a lot of different people trying this beer and enjoying it, if that makes any sense.
• 16:11
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah, it's a.
• 16:12
  > Announcer>It's a.
• 16:13
  > Reverend Mark>It's a gateway beer.
• 16:14
  > Julianna>Yeah, because if.
• 16:15
  > Reverend Mark>As well. As well.
• 16:16
  > Julianna>Right? I mean, because if you say Belgian Blonde.
• 16:18
  > Julianna>That might turn some people off into thinking, oh, well, this isn't going to be tasty. It's just going to be.
• 16:24
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 16:24
  > Kendall>You know, especially if you say solera age. Barrel age. You know, Solera barrel age. They're. They're like, what? Just give me a beer.
• 16:31
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah, I don't. Yeah, it's going to lose people.
• 16:33
  > Kendall>And I'm very curious, like, what was the deal with volumes one through three? Is it just, you know, building off the same slayer base and, you know, batch after batch or maybe.
• 16:41
  > Julianna>Or maybe tweaking it. I don't know. But, yeah, kudos. I mean, seriously.
• 16:45
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah, I'd have to dig into some notes on those because I have bought the three as well as the four, and I think the, uh, five is coming out maybe.
• 16:53
  > Julianna>Okay.
• 16:54
  > Reverend Mark>Tomorrow.
• 16:54
  > Kendall>Oh, wow.
• 16:56
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : We expect a full reporter.
• 16:58
  > Julianna>Yes, yes, yes, we do.
• 17:00
  > Kendall>Okay.
• 17:00
  > Julianna>But, I mean, that kind of makes. Yeah, that makes sense.
• 17:03
  > Dave>Kendall, what are you going to have with this beer?
• 17:05
  > Kendall>Probably, like, a little cheese. Uh, herculery tray.
• 17:09
  > Announcer>Yeah.
• 17:10
  > Kendall>Yeah, Especially some little funky cheeses would go nicely. You could do that.
• 17:14
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : And.
• 17:14
  > Dave>Yeah, like Reverend Mark said, put in a flute and, uh, yeah, that would.
• 17:18
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Really play well off of.
• 17:20
  > Julianna>Oh, yeah. Nice charcuterie.
• 17:22
  > Dave>You can feel all fancy.
• 17:23
  > Kendall>Yeah.
• 17:24
  > Reverend Mark>Oh, yeah, I can see a little liverwurst, but.
• 17:27
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Oh, yeah, man, I just. You just reminded me. I, like, uh. I just picked up some pate recently that my family doesn't know about, uh, because I always hide my charcuterie from my family.
• 17:38
  > Reverend Mark>Are you still doing that?
• 17:39
  > Dave>I am closet charcuterie.
• 17:42
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Forgive me, there's a secret charcuterie drawer in one of the refrigerators in my home that my family never looks for.
• 17:50
  > Dave>Never go into daddy's secret refrigerator.
• 17:52
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : What are you doing down there, Daddy?
• 17:54
  > Julianna>Shush.
• 17:54
  > Reverend Mark>I thought you had it in the back of a revolving bookshelf.
• 17:58
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : That's my next phase.
• 18:00
  > Julianna>Yeah. Refrigerator.
• 18:06
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yes. But thank you for saying overworks, because that just reminded me. Man, I need to eat that stuff before it goes.
• 18:10
  > Kendall>Okay.
• 18:14
  > Julianna>That's awesome.
• 18:14
  > Dave>First world problem.
• 18:16
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : So, so true.
• 18:17
  > Julianna>What shall we rate the moonscribe?
• 18:21
  > Kendall>Oh, yeah.
• 18:22
  > Julianna>Four. Four.
• 18:23
  > Kendall>I can go either way.
• 18:24
  > Dave>Which way you want? Where's the crowd taking this baby?
• 18:27
  > Julianna>Crowd's taking us to five. All right, all right.
• 18:30
  > Julianna>So the moon scribe. We are giving a five.
• 18:35
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : And these gu. Bat. And. Great. I don't know if you're, like, gonna throw one of their canned seltzers at us next to just help us wreck their wrap.
• 18:42
  > Julianna>The seltzer is gonna come next. You know, it's interesting. All of these beers, the names on them is very like medievally. Is Gaithersburg a medieval town? No, it's that way.
• 18:54
  > Dave>No, um, these guys are just nerds.
• 18:57
  > Julianna>Okay, that's fine.
• 18:58
  > Reverend Mark>But the thing is, elder pine also originated in a, I think a 1817, 18 acre, uh, lot that was a Christmas tree, uh, farm ranch. Yeah. And so they had to clear all these pines out, you know.
• 19:13
  > Julianna>Oh, and there are pines all around. Pines that were there.
• 19:18
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah. And it's a great music venue as well. They have great outdoor.
• 19:22
  > Julianna>Yes, I do remember that. But I remember that about a few of the breweries in Maryland is that they all had these like really great outdoor stages.
• 19:33
  > Reverend Mark>Mhm.
• 19:33
  > Julianna>You know, in fact, there was a couple, I think that I went to that had like tents, you know, like big tents that you could have, like tables and sort of like just hang out and lots of great seating, like all over the place.
• 19:44
  > Kendall>Right.
• 19:45
  > Julianna>Anyways, we will return with more in just a minute. Welcome back everyone. So today's episode is a brewery takeover of Elder Pine Brewing and Blending in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Next beer that we are going to get into is Summon the Moonlord, which is an English barley wine, 16% ABV, not for the faint of heart. So this English style barley wine was boiled for 24 hours for intense natural caramelization. Could you imagine? I can't.
• 20:21
  > Reverend Mark>That's just hardly ever done. That's hardly ever done.
• 20:24
  > Julianna>I know as a homebrewer, even as.
• 20:27
  > Reverend Mark>A home brewer, I don't go that. So kudos to these guys for that.
• 20:31
  > Julianna>Then on top of that, it was aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for 18 months. Due to their precise brewing process and fermentation profile, the beer is unbelievably smooth with very little alcohol burn. Given the extremely high alcohol content, they smell and taste very prominent impressions of super reduced caramelized fig compote, bourbon pecan pie, raisin bran, caramel candies and old wooden tobacco boxes.
• 21:03
  > Dave>I'm glad to hear about that Raisin Bran because I've been feeling a little irregular lately.
• 21:06
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You know, I miss that cereal. Yeah, look at the legs on this thing, man.
• 21:13
  > Julianna>It really adds to the experience.
• 21:14
  > Reverend Mark>Uh, this is the second year this has come out and from what I understand, I didn't have this last year, but in talking to the beer curator at Stateline Liquors, he said that immediately because it's very limited release went on the black market and this was going for $60 a can.
• 21:35
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : And you got a retail.
• 21:37
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah, that was last year. So this year it was, it Was more reasonably priced, but had to be.
• 21:43
  > Dave>The man to death in the parking lot.
• 21:44
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I was going to say, I don't want to see what the, uh, how that all went down.
• 21:48
  > Reverend Mark>Well, the brewery didn't. They didn't. But that was. Became the black market price, so.
• 21:52
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Well, definitely on the nose. I mean, all the dark fruits.
• 21:56
  > Kendall>All of it.
• 21:56
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : All of it at once.
• 21:58
  > Dave>I mean, it's really good. Is it $60 a king good?
• 22:02
  > Dave>I. I don't. I mean, that's. That's hard for me to say.
• 22:05
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : It's definitely has alcohol inside. It is another thing that I've noticed from drinking it.
• 22:12
  > Kendall>It's so big. Honestly, part of me is like, this is too much.
• 22:16
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I kind of think the same.
• 22:18
  > Kendall>Um, this may sound weird, but I like my barley wines to be drinkable. A good fresh barley wine. I can't think of an English one, but even like a Bigfoot, just when it's fresh, it's so good. But it's 16 with a 24 hour boil. This is just like over the top in every way. And if that's what you're into, great. And it's well made.
• 22:37
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : It's just very concentrated.
• 22:38
  > Kendall>It's hard for me to drink more.
• 22:40
  > Dave>Yeah, I think like a two ounce pour.
• 22:43
  > Reverend Mark>Exactly.
• 22:44
  > Dave>About it's a lot.
• 22:45
  > Reverend Mark>I would say it's an aperitif.
• 22:46
  > Dave>Yeah. Oh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Treat this like a liqueur.
• 22:50
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : 16 ounce can not shotgun.
• 22:53
  > Kendall>Share this with six or eight people.
• 22:55
  > Julianna>Yeah, sure.
• 22:56
  > Dave>If you do decide to shotgun a can of this, go, uh, ahead and dial 9. 1.
• 23:01
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah. So you're ready. And lay down some, like, towels or plastic, you know, because we all know where this actually going.
• 23:08
  > Dave>Just stand inside a kiddie pool.
• 23:10
  > Kendall>Yeah.
• 23:10
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Ah, that's. That's a pro move right there.
• 23:13
  > Reverend Mark>See, I could see this as a dessert beverage alongside an espresso.
• 23:18
  > Kendall>Sure.
• 23:19
  > Reverend Mark>You know, and you get the best of both worlds.
• 23:21
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Ah.
• 23:21
  > Reverend Mark>Some sort of a, uh, dark chocolate.
• 23:23
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Chocolate or something like that.
• 23:24
  > Reverend Mark>Exactly. Just have those three things going together. That would be wonderful.
• 23:29
  > Julianna>Yeah. You would even yourself out.
• 23:31
  > Reverend Mark>I agree with Kendall. This is not like your standard barley wine that you just would drink a lot during the holidays. But it is one that I would break out for a party of friends and to just say, here, try a.
• 23:42
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Little of this, but don't drive you a shot.
• 23:46
  > Reverend Mark>Uh, it's exquisitely laid.
• 23:48
  > Julianna>Uh, yeah.
• 23:49
  > Reverend Mark>But you got to watch where you're going next.
• 23:51
  > Julianna>Well, yeah, I mean, and I was thinking like, for.
• 23:54
  > Julianna>For the winters and like coastal Atlantic. This will warm your bones. Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
• 24:00
  > Dave>Serve this around a fire pit. Everybody's hanging out.
• 24:03
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Quinn was drinking this instead of Narragansett while they were hunting Jaws. Would not have totally different.
• 24:09
  > Dave>Bo would have gone in a whole different direction.
• 24:11
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Totally. Yeah. Although they could have thrown a can of this overboard into the sharks had gotten it. Yeah. Might have had a happy ending maybe.
• 24:19
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 24:19
  > Julianna>Yes.
• 24:20
  > Dave>I've seen a shark with a happy ending once. It's not. It was very nautical.
• 24:31
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Oh. The seas were angry that my friends.
• 24:34
  > Dave>A lot of froth in the water.
• 24:36
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You know, a lot of chum.
• 24:40
  > Julianna>Okay.
• 24:41
  > Reverend Mark>I'm noticing that even as a want like a wine, this is. Even as we've been talking and sipping and it's warmed up, it tastes different than when I first tried it just five minutes ago. So there's.
• 24:54
  > Reverend Mark>I think it breathes.
• 24:55
  > Dave>That's the great thing about these beers is like just let it sit for a little bit and sip on it and like let it change and become the different things it's going to be.
• 25:04
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 25:05
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : But it's definitely a lot and uh.
• 25:07
  > Dave>Pour it on your script.
• 25:09
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I do, I do feel like you should, you know, probably have to sign a registry if you're buying a lot of this because I would do a.
• 25:17
  > Dave>One can limit on this thing.
• 25:18
  > Kendall>Oh yeah. That, um, way you get a lot of people enjoying this. Yeah, it's. It is, yeah, it's good.
• 25:23
  > Kendall>It's just. Wow. I could not drink a full can.
• 25:25
  > Dave>It's a load.
• 25:27
  > Julianna>It's. It's 16.
• 25:29
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I like those extremes sometimes too, you know, like the Black Wednesday and those kinds of things or those heavy duty ones. But yeah, only so much.
• 25:38
  > Julianna>So what would we rate this? I, I think it's a good four. I really do.
• 25:45
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I do think it's interesting is a 16 oz can. Like this would be a beer that I would love to see in.
• 25:51
  > Julianna>In maybe. Um. What are Those? Like the 8 ounces, you know the.
• 25:55
  > Dave>Small those like those little hopping frog.
• 25:58
  > Kendall>Uh, is this the same bear? No, it should be a summon the Moon Lord.
• 26:03
  > Reverend Mark>Oh, uh, no, the double bear through woven branches is the next one.
• 26:07
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Hey, Dave and Jul. What are you guys doing for the rest of the day?
• 26:11
  > Julianna>Apparently drinking.
• 26:13
  > Kendall>Drinking a couple cans of some of the Moon Lord.
• 26:15
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Oh man.
• 26:16
  > Julianna>Okay.
• 26:17
  > Reverend Mark>And then it was Tuesday.
• 26:18
  > Julianna>Yeah, right. Okay, so the next one that we are going to talk about now that I'm pouring the rice, I mean if.
• 26:23
  > Dave>One of you guys wants to, you know, just pound that while it's already.
• 26:27
  > Julianna>Wow. The next one that we're going to talk about is, well, you know, this one's 10% ABV. So there's that. This is a double barrel through woven branches. It is a dark lager blend. So it's 50% double oaked Schwartz beer, which the Schwartz beer was fruiter aged for six months and then finished in bourbon barrels for 16 months. Then 25% black lager, which is aged in stainless for three months. Then 25% double oaked lager wine.
• 27:00
  > Julianna>When I put it in my mouth, it spread all over. It really adds to the experience of, uh, it m.
• 27:10
  > Reverend Mark>Say more.
• 27:11
  > Julianna>I don't know what to say after that. The lager wine was fooder aged for five months and then finished in port barrels for nine months. And then the whole thing was blended and aged for an additional 12 months in freshly emptied rye whiskey barrels.
• 27:27
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : This is an episode. This is a special sip suds and smokes episode of Brewers Gone Wild.
• 27:33
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 27:34
  > Reverend Mark>Yes.
• 27:34
  > Dave>This is, this is something Andrew Zimmern would, uh, would appreciate.
• 27:39
  > Reverend Mark>I think of the four that we've tried this one, they, they have gone through more blending and, and just interesting tricks.
• 27:47
  > Dave>I think you suckered us in with those first two beers.
• 27:49
  > Kendall>Yeah.
• 27:49
  > Dave>You're like, oh, they just make, you know, beer.
• 27:51
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You know, I'm going to give you a barley line that makes you forget half a day.
• 27:56
  > Kendall>I do like this one. Um, check your glucose levels.
• 27:59
  > Kendall>It is not drinking. I mean, you can smell the alcohol on it, but it doesn't come across that hot.
• 28:05
  > Dave>I like the very subtle. I'm guessing it's from the port.
• 28:09
  > Julianna>The whininess.
• 28:09
  > Dave>That's sort of like wine character. It's. It's subtle.
• 28:12
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 28:13
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I haven't tasted it yet. I'm just enjoying the nose of it. I mean, it's really interesting.
• 28:17
  > Julianna>But then the, uh.
• 28:18
  > Dave>Smells fruity.
• 28:19
  > Julianna>But then. Do you get any of the spiciness from the rye?
• 28:21
  > Kendall>I'm not. I'm getting a lot of fruitiness.
• 28:23
  > Dave>I'm mostly getting the fruitiness.
• 28:25
  > Kendall>Incredibly light body.
• 28:27
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 28:27
  > Reverend Mark>For.
• 28:27
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah. First you say it's a Schwartz beer.
• 28:30
  > Dave>Well, it's part schwartz beer.
• 28:31
  > Reverend Mark>The 50.
• 28:32
  > Julianna>50 lager.
• 28:33
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : M. Okay.
• 28:34
  > Dave>You know, it's got some Schwartz beer.
• 28:36
  > Julianna>Yeah.
• 28:36
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : There's, there's. I would expect some more toastiness roastiness to this. And m not. It's not. It's like barely. You have to look for it.
• 28:43
  > Kendall>It's like fruit and chocolate.
• 28:45
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yes. 100.
• 28:47
  > Julianna>How many other beers have you had like this where it's half beer and then 1/4 lager wine and 1/4.
• 28:55
  > Dave>I didn't even know lager wine was a three thing.
• 28:58
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Nor did I, but after my third sip, I just kind of left it there for a second and I swear to God, alcohol fumes came out of my mouth. That's fascinating.
• 29:05
  > Julianna>Could have happened. Yeah, yeah, that totally could have happened.
• 29:09
  > Reverend Mark>It's so sticky, but it goes down easy.
• 29:11
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:13
  > Dave>It's big, it's fruity, it's whiny, it's.
• 29:16
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : It'S weird because I got more of the roastiness off of the nose than the flavor of it at all.
• 29:21
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah, right? It's not in the flavor. Yeah.
• 29:24
  > Dave>It almost reminds me of like a chocolate covered berry or something like that. Because there's, there's fruit, but there's, it's, there's, it's raw wrapped around like at the very end, there's that chocolate.
• 29:34
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 29:35
  > Julianna>Well, we'll be back in just a minute with more.
• 29:41
  > Julianna>Welcome back, everyone. So today's episode is a brewery takeover of Elder, uh, Pond Brewing and Blending in Gaithersburg, Maryland. That was brought to us by Reverend Mark, Prodigal Son, who's come back for a visit. And the crowd is gone wild, as they should be. So right before the break, we have been diving into some big beers here. And, um, right before the break, we were talking about the double barrel through Woven Branches, which is a, uh, really like. We were talking about it during the break that we have never had anything like this before.
• 30:20
  > Dave>So I'm not part of this.
• 30:23
  > Julianna>Except that we are part of this. It is the most interesting blended beer I think I have ever had in my entire life. So 50% double oak Schwartz beer.
• 30:36
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Double Oaks.
• 30:37
  > Kendall>Right.
• 30:37
  > Dave>Single oak stuff.
• 30:38
  > Julianna>Okay. No, no, no. So, right. Which is just crazy.
• 30:42
  > Julianna>And then 25% black lager, which hasn't been oaked.
• 30:46
  > Julianna>And then a double oaked lager wine that's 25%. So that makes your hundred percent in case you keeping up. And wow. I mean, just wow. So, Reverend Mark, what would you pair this beer with?
• 31:01
  > Reverend Mark>One thing that comes to me, at least I would see a nice stacked Reuben.
• 31:11
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I think that's always a good answer for everything. I like where your head's at. And that's, that's, uh. Oh, now I want corned beef right now.
• 31:18
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah, I'd want some acid because there's, there's right here is, uh. And I mean, you know, to go in the sandwich. No, yeah, within the sandwich itself to sort of have the kraut and just maybe some, maybe a beet slaw or something to kind of Counteract a little of the sweet here. It's not overly sweet, but I think it still has a malt aspect to it that would just really go nice with some fatty and acidy damn, uh, kinds of food.
• 31:46
  > Dave>I think Sparky just had a happy.
• 31:48
  > Kendall>End.
• 31:51
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : To change my britches after this one, guys.
• 31:53
  > Julianna>It takes a while to get the whole thing into your mouth or not.
• 31:58
  > Reverend Mark>Or if you wanted to take it in the sweet direction with some kind of praline.
• 32:02
  > Reverend Mark>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Nah, let's stick with the Reuben.
• 32:04
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah, I'm going with the Reuben myself.
• 32:05
  > Dave>I don't know, maybe like something fatty with like a cheesecake or something.
• 32:09
  > Kendall>Exactly what I was thinking. I like the chocolate and the berry.
• 32:13
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 32:13
  > Kendall>Just give me a simple slice of plain cheesecake.
• 32:16
  > Dave>Yeah.
• 32:17
  > Reverend Mark>Mhm.
• 32:18
  > Dave>Sparky's gonna need a moment or two.
• 32:21
  > Julianna>Right?
• 32:22
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I was just thinking of my favorite Reubens. I was kind of going through the.
• 32:27
  > Dave>He's going through the real.
• 32:28
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : In my head.
• 32:29
  > Julianna>Do you have a favorite Reuben here in town or do you travel for a good reason?
• 32:33
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I don't think so.
• 32:34
  > Julianna>I don't think we have anything.
• 32:35
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Not really, No. I mean, Bill's Sandwich palace has done from time to time a solid Reuben. Uh, maybe fat belly pretzel once or twice. You know, I was raised mostly in East Tennessee and there's this great place called Sam and Andy's which steams their sandwiches. There's this, uh, amazing story, like basically there's this whole culture in Knoxville of steaming sandwiches, hoagies. It's an amazing history. How it all started. That was always just to me, like a seminal Reuben. So good to me. You just can't be like, Shapiro's up in India. You know, some great.
• 33:11
  > Dave>I knew that's the place you were.
• 33:12
  > Dave>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Gonna say it's a good place.
• 33:14
  > Julianna>That's because it is a really Cats.
• 33:16
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Or, you know, if you're up in Chicago. Nashville was always like half assed to begin with here and now it's a shadow of a shadow of a shadow.
• 33:24
  > Reverend Mark>Yeah.
• 33:25
  > Julianna>No, I miss Nashville.
• 33:27
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : I know. I used to take my team there to eat once a month and.
• 33:30
  > Julianna>Oh, really? Yeah, I used to go there in the morning after doing like a double shift. I'd go there and even though, like, we would, we would get there right before it was okay to serve alcohol, but because they knew us and we were regulars.
• 33:45
  > Dave>I mean, technically it's not, it's illegal right now, but you know, uh, I know.
• 33:50
  > Julianna>So like we would walk in, we would go to our favorite table, which was like the one in the, like, you Go all the way in. No, no, no, in the back. And as soon as we would sit down, like, granted, the only beer available at the time would be Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale. A round of that. And that would get us started.
• 34:09
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : You know, Robert used to go there all the time.
• 34:11
  > Julianna>Did he really?
• 34:12
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Yeah. Like, there was a period of time, I guess, where he was recording here. He was there, like, constantly. I had some friends in the days before Instagram and stuff like that.
• 34:20
  > Dave>The house your friends used to own, he. That's the house he rented in Green Hills for a while.
• 34:26
  > Kendall>Yeah.
• 34:27
  > Julianna>Yes. The year that he recorded with, um, Allison Krause.
• 34:31
  > Kendall>Yeah.
• 34:32
  > Kendall>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Raising sand.
• 34:33
  > Julianna>Yes. Because he was in France doing a fellowship, and so he took the whole family with him, and they rent and he rented his house, which was, like, very. Like, how crazy is that?
• 34:43
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : That's crazy.
• 34:44
  > Julianna>And then he. And then it comes to find out. He didn't realize until afterwards when he.
• 34:48
  > Julianna>>> Identification Announcer: On the next episode of Sips, suds and : Came home that Robert Plant has been living in his house because there was.
• 34:51
