• 0:09
  What's going on everybody? We are back another banging
• 0:13
  beers with Lily. This is like our 4th 3rd beer.
• 0:17
  Third beer. Tonight we're drinking.
• 0:19
  Wait. We did the two yesterday
• 0:21
  technically. No, I'm just saying for tonight
• 0:24
  because we're in the same clothing third one time.
• 0:26
  So this one, I'm not sure how I want to feel about it.
• 0:28
  It is a coffee beer. It's a blonde.
• 0:32
  Maybe the blonde helps me, maybe it doesn't.
• 0:34
  She's drinking out of her Golden Girls glass.
• 0:36
  I'm drinking for. Being a friend that is also a
• 0:39
  Ninja Turtles. Yeah, Ninja Turtles Glass.
• 0:40
  I have my Batman animated series glass from Skeeter Glassware,
• 0:46
  which is not a thing anymore. I don't I don't like coffee.
• 0:51
  Oh, the the can. So I immediately look at the
• 0:54
  logo for this Brewer like this here.
• 0:57
  What's what do you when you look at that, what's the first thing
• 0:59
  that pops in your head? Pizza.
• 1:00
  Pizza it. Reminds me of a pizza, the
• 1:03
  thingy that you cook the pizza. It's a cat.
• 1:06
  It's a cane. No, I can tell that it is, but I
• 1:08
  mean immediately first. Thing I look at this, can I look
• 1:10
  at this beer and I think Cracker Barrel.
• 1:12
  I can see that. I go right to Cracker Barrel,
• 1:14
  look like, look at everything they have.
• 1:15
  Yeah, the wooden sign. Yeah, it.
• 1:17
  Gives me Cracker Barrel vibes. So this is McGraw Brock Box
• 1:21
  Brewing. Also, I, I think cigar when I
• 1:24
  think this place, I feel like this is like a cigar bar
• 1:28
  fucking. I'm just going by the logo.
• 1:30
  I don't know. I know nothing about this.
• 1:31
  This was a beer that was brought by my dad, I think, to give to
• 1:34
  my brother. My brother left it and we stole
• 1:36
  it and we're drinking it. Whoops.
• 1:38
  But sorry. Austin, it does have I like the
• 1:40
  smell of coffee. It has a good smell.
• 1:43
  This beer has a good smell, very good smell, very good smell.
• 1:46
  I'm terrified to drink it. I like I don't mind blondes, but
• 1:49
  we'll see. But McGraw Box Brewing is a 3.88
• 1:54

  write up. Your write ups are good.
• 3:04
  I like it. I like it 72 beers.
• 3:07
  There's some cream ales, which I love me some cream ales.
• 3:09
  So I would love to try something else besides a beer I probably
• 3:12
  won't like because I don't like the taste of coffee.
• 3:15
  So maybe when my dad goes back up to New York, I'll I'll ask
• 3:17
  him. We have a couple other ones.
• 3:19
  I'll. Try this one just for the name.
• 3:22
  Measure one string twice. Measure twice, Cut once.
• 3:25
  Measure once. Drink twice.
• 3:26
  That's a hazy. You might not like that.
• 3:27
  Oh, I probably the 1559 cream ale sounds good select and
• 3:32
  better is a IPA. You won't be into that.
• 3:35
  But first coffee. That's a Porter too, not not
• 3:38
  even like a stout That'd be all but you painted black Isn't
• 3:41
  that's pretty cool. The McGraw Lager, That could be
• 3:44
  one we enjoy together. Peanut Butter Porter.
• 3:46
  Peanut butter Porter you like? So Lily likes the darker beers.
• 3:49
  We've already established that they have a Raspberry fruited
• 3:52
  sour, so that they make a variety of different style beers
• 3:56
  is pretty cool. All right, so let's get into it.
• 3:59
  Oh, they have a Peach one even for their sour.
• 4:00
  Like that? So this is a blonde golden ale
• 4:04
  Other style beer NA on the ABV. The IBU is five.
• 4:08
  Oh wait, where's the can? 4.3 ABV Thanks.
• 4:15
  I'm tapped 50 check insurance for so far for this one, it
• 4:20
  averages a 4.13, so it breaks the four scale.
• 4:23
  So that's pretty cool. Light body blonde ale with
• 4:27
  savory tastes. A savory twist of salted caramel
• 4:31
  coffee. Which is your favorite caramel
• 4:33
  favorite coffee? Yeah.
• 4:35
  Buttery caramel coffee. Rich dedicate, delicate flavor,
• 4:38
  65 total shaders. Yeah 4 monthly check insurance.
• 4:41
  I'm just seeing if anyone has any write ups here.
• 4:44
  Nice and light coffee caramel as described.
• 4:46
  Cheers from RJ all on Untapped once again.
• 4:50
  If you want to follow me, I am ABJ podcast.
• 4:52
  Lily hasn't yet to get it on tap, but maybe we'll get.
• 4:54
  Her on to download it now at this point.
• 4:56
  It's very educational, right? It's AI.
• 4:58
  Love it as a tool for the podcasting yeah.
• 5:00
  As someone who's not a professional beer drinker or not
• 5:02
  a savant, I I think as a blue collar guy, I think this is
• 5:04
  super helpful. So.
• 5:06
  Curiosity I'm really not that this is part of this podcast,
• 5:10
  but I'm really wondering if they make one for like on the blazing
• 5:14
  bud side of. Things they do.
• 5:15
  It's called Leafly. There you go, I'm going to have
• 5:18
  to download that too. I'm already on it.
• 5:20
  All right, cheers. Smells great.
• 5:22
  I smell the caramel. I think that's.
• 5:23
  What? That's the caramel you smell.
• 5:28
  It's definitely coffee. If you like coffee, I feel
• 5:34
  you'll love it. I don't like it.
• 5:35
  You don't like it? I don't like it.
• 5:36
  What don't you like about it? It tastes like coffee grounds.
• 5:41
  Well. I don't know the difference.
• 5:46
  So all right, I like my my coffee porters to taste like
• 5:50
  they have the flavoring of maybe like a a Creamer in it, almost
• 5:54
  like the sweetness with the Creamer.
• 5:56
  This does have a caramel taste, but I feel like it's it if you
• 6:02
  drink coffee when you get to the bottom and you have the grounds
• 6:04
  and you get grounds in your mouth and it just kind of tastes
• 6:06
  like that. Coffee is just sitting there and
• 6:09
  it's almost old and stale. I'm not saying that this is old
• 6:12
  or stale. I mean, it must be.
• 6:14
  To me it's it has more of like a it is a very bold coffee taste,
• 6:20
  but the caramel is very very soft.
• 6:22
  I almost don't even taste the caramel.
• 6:24
  I taste more of the coffee with it.
• 6:26
  I feel I don't know. I don't know.
• 6:27
  I don't drink coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker.
• 6:29
  I feel if you'd like coffee, you'll like this.
• 6:30
  But that got debunked, sorry. I think it smells amazing.
• 6:34
  I don't taste very beer. The after taste is nice for me
• 6:38
  because it does have that blonde ale to it where a Porter or
• 6:41
  stout that roastiness will stay longer.
• 6:44
  I do get like just sitting here now.
• 6:46
  I do taste caramel on my tongue. It's not I I went for a second
• 6:54
  drink that's not normally not what I would do after drinking
• 6:57
  A4 Loko too. Well our palate.
• 7:00
  Our palate may be fucked also. I've been drinking the sitting
• 7:04
  back at our freaking pardon me while I burst in between, but I
• 7:10
  don't know, I it almost has a I guess for being a blonde.
• 7:15
  I get it because it does. It's not a very potent coffee
• 7:19
  taste, which might sound hypocritical to what I just
• 7:21
  said, but it has, I taste more of the coffee than anything
• 7:25
  else, but it tastes like watered down, like, oh, OK, here's the
• 7:29
  perfect example. People who drink coffee when you
• 7:32
  use the Keurig cup and you get the first cup and it's nice and
• 7:35
  dark and then you forget it. But yes, what you didn't switch
• 7:39
  the cup and you use it for a second one go round and it's
• 7:41
  watery, but it still has that coffee taste to it.
• 7:44
  That's what I that's what I taste in.
• 7:45
  It what would you score this? Not that I wouldn't drink it
• 7:50
  because I would like if somebody was like, hey, this is what we
• 7:52
  got versus like a hazy IPA or something, I'd be like give me
• 7:56
  that. But I would probably give it
• 7:57
  like a 275. I wouldn't quite give it a
• 8:00
  three. It's not my style, so I'm not
• 8:02
  going to give it a score on a tap.
• 8:03
  I don't want to bring their average down.
• 8:04
  So if it's not a style of beer I'm into, I tend to not score it
• 8:07
  because that you don't because like their reputations on the
• 8:10
  line. So if they have this beer is
• 8:11
  getting a 4.13 by all these people and.
• 8:14
  You give it one, take it down to like a 2.
• 8:15
  Average, right? So I'm going to check it in and
• 8:17
  say I had it. But I know that I as a beer
• 8:20
  drinker I see coffee beer that's not my beer like so why would I
• 8:24
  go and fucking tank the rating? But I am very interested to try
• 8:27
  other beers they make. I'm going to.
• 8:28
  Ask you a question now that it's kind of sat with me with the
• 8:31
  after taste, do you still taste caramel or do you taste
• 8:33
  butterscotch? I taste caramel.
• 8:35
  I taste almost like a butterscotchy flavor.
• 8:37
  Interesting. Yeah.
• 8:39
  I hope we weren't too harsh. But it's also fair that we're
• 8:43
  showing that we're being honest. We're not unbiased.
• 8:46
  We're not. Just like, everything's great,
• 8:48
  right? Yeah.
• 8:50
  But huge thanks to my dad for bringing this and letting me
• 8:51
  steal it. Another thing too, maybe this is
• 8:54
  this could be an older beer, this could be something that has
• 8:57
  been on a shelf and then went to a beer steer and then my dad
• 9:00
  bought it from the beer store and it's been sitting there
• 9:02
  forever. That happens.
• 9:03
  A lot of beer places, craft beers are not something that
• 9:05
  gets sold very quickly. So it sits on the shelf, sits on
• 9:08
  the shelf. And even if it's past date, a
• 9:11
  lot of places don't even rotate their beers or get rid of the
• 9:13
  old ones. They'll just sell them because
• 9:15
  they want to make the money. And then someone buys a beer
• 9:17
  like me who reviews content, drinks it, and it's a fucking
• 9:20
  malt bomb because it's been sitting forever.
• 9:22
  So we don't know, but it it, I don't think, I don't think
• 9:25
  that's the case for this one. I'm going to be honest.
• 9:26
  It doesn't taste like skunked or anything like that.
• 9:29
  No, it tastes. Fine.
• 9:30
  Sour by any means, but. I, I as like I said, I I would
• 9:35
  drink it if I had to, but it's not my style.
• 9:37
  It's not something I would go. I feel that if, if, like, like I
• 9:40
  said, if we were at a place and you were like, oh, we don't have
• 9:42
  porters, but if you want something coffee flavored, I'd
• 9:45
  be like, yeah, I'll drink that, yeah.
• 9:46
  If this was a Porter, I don't think I'd be able to drink as
• 9:48
  much as I drank like. That that's very, yeah.
• 9:51
  And I like that. And.
• 9:51
  I think the blonde softens it a little bit for me.
• 9:53
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:54
  All right. We'll see you guys on the next
• 9:55
  one. Actually, blondes, you were a
• 9:57
  blonde before. Let's let's we talked about in
• 10:00
  the on the last episode. I know you're I know you're a
• 10:02
  dark, spooky girl. But now, at one point in time,
• 10:06
  you were blonde. Did you indeed have more fun as
• 10:08
  a blonde? I would just like to preface
• 10:11
  this, but I was only blonde for about two weeks.
• 10:14
  Did you have fun while you were? Blonde I had a lot of fun until
• 10:16
  I realized that so blonde slash silver hair hair dye to keep it
• 10:22
  without giving it that brassy like I wanted the platinum.
• 10:26
  I still to this day I have split dye hair where it's like half
• 10:30
  red half black. I want to go full Cruella
• 10:32
  deville. I want this to eventually be
• 10:34
  half white, half black with the little muddy piece in the front.
• 10:36
  But regardless, to have that that white color without the
• 10:42
  yellow brassiness to combat that you use like a purple shampoo,
• 10:47
  I'm giving you a little lesson in cosmetology.
• 10:48
  Wait, did you have more fun as a?
• 10:49
  Blonde. Here's what I'm going to say.
• 10:50
  I had a fun time until I realized that most purple
• 10:54
  shampoos have a lot of extracts of fruits.
• 10:58
  My best friend got me like a special like not from Sally's
• 11:04
  like from the actual salon store.
• 11:05
  You have to have a cosmetology license.
• 11:07
  She got me this nice purple shampoo that had mango extract
• 11:11
  in it and I didn't realize it when she bought it for me.
• 11:13
  I'm allergic to the most tropical fruits and I took a
• 11:17
  shower and I just showed you this picture yesterday came up
• 11:20
  on my came up on my Snapchat little memories.
• 11:23
  I looked like I had Jennifer Coolidge lips.
• 11:27
  OK, I had some Kim Kardashian lips, but I use I use real bad.
• 11:32
  What a real bad. They are super fun but yeah I
• 11:37
  ended up having an allergic reaction so I couldn't be when.
• 11:39
  You look at blondes and you're like, oh, I'm are you more
• 11:42
  attracted to blonde hair or darker hair?
• 11:46
  I think it depends on the person.
• 11:47
  I'm I'm going to be honest. So as someone who's pansexual, I
• 11:51
  do very much connect with a vibe with a person more than their
• 11:56
  looks. But I can definitely tell if
• 11:58
  like blonde maybe doesn't suit you so well, or you're not a
• 12:02
  brunette, you're naturally a blonde.
• 12:03
  I feel like I can pick that out pretty well.
• 12:05
  Yeah, I feel like we're conditioned as a society that
• 12:07
  you see, like a hot blonde, you're like, oh, hot blonde.
• 12:09
  That's like. The Pamela Anderson Wow, that's.
• 12:11
  The standard, you know, right? Yeah.
• 12:13
  And I, I feel like that's, I feel like it's fair to say that
• 12:16
  yeah, a blonde bombshell. Like, yeah, that's cool.
• 12:18
  But I feel like there's just as many brunette bombshells.
• 12:21
  Like brunettes need love too, OK.
• 12:23
  Listen. Brunettes have fun.
• 12:25
  We're talking about the beard name.
• 12:26
  That's fun. I like this.
• 12:27
  This is a little fun. Vanter the beard.
• 12:29
  I like it. I'm gonna be honest.
• 12:31
  I'm a Van Morrison guy. Give me my brown eyed girls,
• 12:33
  give me the darker hair. Give me those emo girls, blonde
• 12:36
  hair, blue eyes. I think you're fine.
• 12:38
  I think you're fine. But I think I I tend to go more
• 12:40
  towards the darker hair and darker eyes.
• 12:43
  Maybe that's also something not necessarily with you, but
• 12:47
  culture wise, like in Texas, I'm not saying there wasn't a lot of
• 12:50
  blondes, but where I grew up, I was, I grew up in a like
• 12:54
  predominantly Hispanic neighborhood town.
• 12:57
  All of the towns that I lived in were predominantly Hispanic.
• 13:00
  So there weren't a whole lot of blondes and the people who were
• 13:02
  blondes were artificially blonde.
• 13:04
  All right. Let the comments know who's your
• 13:06
  favorite blonde? Do blondes have more fun?
• 13:08
  Are you prefer blondes over brunettes?
• 13:10
  List it off below. Tell us some beers you like and
• 13:13
  we'll see On the next episode we're going to be drinking.
• 13:15
  We're going from a beer that should have been a darker beer
• 13:19
  but was made into a blonde to a Porter.
• 13:22
  So I'm doing another darker beer.
• 13:23
  So 2 episodes, two episodes that are Wheat Row where they're not
• 13:26
  my favorite style, but they're lilies and that's why she was
• 13:28
  joining me. We're going to have some beers
• 13:30
