@GeneseeBrewery @drinkoctopi  @cerveceriaca @mertes.de @wernesgruener #beer #beersofaldiCo hosts : Good ol Boy Dave, Good ol Boy Kendall, Rev. Mark, Good ol Boy Sparky, and Good ol Gal JulieannaSUDS  Episode – All of these beers have one thing in common. They can be found at Aldi. Now this grocery store chain is not everywhere but with 11,235 as of this recording, there are quite a few. They have an approach with only 1 brand of many things and tend to be focused on value. Besides our typical challenge of blind tasting, this kicked up the confusion factor substantially. We added a new BJCP tasting term as the “armpit of a dead aborigine.” We taste and rate the following beer from 1-5:

A terrific whisky flight to discuss. We tricked Brent into this episode and told him this was review of White Castle’s menu. Brent is also leading our water tasting with scotch next month. Hmm, sulfur, that doesn’t work with Scotch. It all boils down to a simple question – Ginger or Mary Ann?   We taste and rate the following whisky from 1-5:
6:40 Valinch and Mallet Ardmore 8 year – 97.6 Proof - 48.8% ABV – 3 SIPS

Even if you don’t like wine, Harmeet’s Pepe Le Pew accent reading the SIPS rating may win us another award. Or indicted.  We taste and rate the following wine from 1-5:
