@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
 
14:00 Valinch and Mallet Royal Brackla 12 Year – 97.6 Proof - 48.8% ABV – 4 SIPS

Mark, and Good ol Gal JulieannaSUDS  Episode – A brewery takeover from Munkle Brewing Company out of Charleston, SC.

@chevalquancard1844 #wine #bordeaux #newbordeaux #nosexytimeCo hosts : Good ol Gal Denise, Made Man Maury, Good ol Boy Harmeet, and Made Man BobSIPS  Episode – You need to get out a bit more and see the new stuff, like the varietals of Bordeaux that you don’t know about. Touriga Nacional, Marselan, Castets, Arinarnoa – and two white grapes, Alvarinho and Liliorila.  A couple of these are even featured on this flight loaded with lots of good value buys. 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:
13:52 Château la Mothe du Barry Cuvée Mon Loup 2015 – 2 SIPS
 
21:21 Château Francs Magnus 2014 – 3 SIPS

This is what happens when we leave Dave unsupervised. We are so fortunate to have ready on the fly access to a beer cellar that we can do such a thing. A major debate on the quality of eggs related to being pasteurized. Is there such a thing as an heirloom chicken? Coming to a liquor store near to you in Alabama is non-alcoholic Gin. Finally there is alignment with a target demographic for a product.  We taste and rate the following beer from 1-5:
