Beer Coasters Season 4 Premiere Issue

Welcome to Season Four!  We didn't even skip a beat and here we are at Issue #157.  We never thought we would take it this far, and now we don't see an end to it.  Some changes have been made, but nothing too drastic, just a little more added fun.  We know what you're thinking: How could it possibly get any more fun?

Four is the running theme this week.  Our Fermentation Conversation beer is Four from Allagash.  Mike squares off with Harpoon's Leviathan Quad from the Leviathan Series and then Toby frames up Four from Upright Brewing.  We toy with some new ideas as well as introduce a twist on an existing segment.  Thanks for sticking with us and hopefully you've had as much fun as we have trying new beer.  Cheers!

Beer Coasters ALTernate Ending Issue

Our third year has come to an end.  But, don't worry, we'll be back next week with more beer-drinking fun.  This week, we reflect a little on the past year and still find time to sip some craft beer.  The Alt-bier style is what we try with offerings from Hangar 24, Haverhill and one from the Sam Adams Longshot Series 2011.  And what would be a season finale without an award ceremony?  An award for the best of Beer Coasters Season 3 has been given and we congratulate the winner(s).

Thanks for such a great third season and we hope you stick with us for another fantastic year of the Beer Coasters Podcast.  Cheers!

Beer Coasters Fight Club Issue

Mischief.  Mayhem.  Beer.

Instead of calling our Moms or sending them flowers, we decided to tear off our shirts and shoes and duke it out with our split personality.  Sounds like fun, right?  Don't upset us or you may catch an Eagle Claw Fist to the side of the face!  Mike and his man-boob buddy, B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher, have been known to wipe the floor with a few sorry saps that didn't listen to them.  Toby will sometimes play the Velvet Glove, even though he's a true Iron Fist at heart.  Keep listening to the show - if you know what's good for you!  Cheers!

Beer Coasters TravelALEcity Issue

Beer Coaster Mike spent a weekend in Las Vegas with Beer Coaster Toby, so we decided to record some stuff and throw together a show.  It's called dedication.  The show was recorded on an iPod, some indoors and some out.  The beers we chose to try are as follows: Firestone Walker's Parabola from 2011, Hess Brewing's Grazias and Cismontane's Coulter IPA.  We hope you enjoy the show and we hope you try new beer wherever your travels take you.  And remember: here at the Beer Coasters Podcast, you'll never drink alone.  Cheers!

Beer Coasters The Wheat Wine Issue

The Wheat Wine style of ale is a strange one.  A lost beer, trying to find it's way in the world of hop-bombs and roasted-roastiness.  Although, we here at the Beer Coasters Podcast would like to "keep the wine out of the beer", we decided to venture into unfamiliar territory.  First off, Toby brings the box-o-wine beer called the Lemongrass Wheat Ale from Widmer Bros.  Chris then spreads on the paté and sips the Fourteen from Weyerbacher.  Mike hurries home in time to let his Old Powderhouse breathe a little before quaffing.  We really appreciate all the fantastic Backwash we got this week - keep it coming.  Cheers!
