The Beer Engine

**ALERT THERE IS NO CINNAMON SHRIMP CONTENT IN THIS 90 MINUTES OF PSYCHOBABBLE** Hello everyone. Just got in from California and man, is it nice over there. I thought the ocean was cool, not to mention all of the beers. This episode is definitely one of our 50 best, I guarantee it. Griff does on a TV rant in memory of Jessica Walter. The guys also "mourn" this disappearance of a beloved "Chicago"...

Baaaaahhh da da dahhh dum! Badoobadoobadoo waaahhhh! It's the Beer Engine Podcast! With your hosts, uhhh, you know em! Those guys! They are back and ready for more bullshit! On this week's intriguing new episode, the boys talk St. Patrick's Day traditions (very timely). Also, Griff's Vegas capers lead him under the spotlight (for some outdoor comedy) and under the needle (for some future indoor co...

The days, months and years just keep going by, don't they? No beer, no seltzer and yes, no podcast can stop the slow march of death. But it can pass the time, and by golly, time will pass while you listen to this! It's Tony's birthday! Or, it was! We celebrate by talking about lager and clear IPA! Yay! Also, the podcast content you come here for - mergers & acquisitions! Finally, a game that f...

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the bloody listeners of this podcast! Sorry, been watching “Toast of London” and I can’t stop thinking about Ray Purchase. What’s that guy’s deal huh? Anyway check that show out, it’s pretty funny. On today’s show, we discuss if, maybe, we are all keeping our own oaths, hmm? We have some news on the Downtown Las Vegas infrastructure which impacts one particular podcas...

Another day, another dollar, am I right fam? Well, not much of a dollar for me. No one paid me a dollar for this. We just had to buckle down and produce more content. It’s alright, I’ll still keep putting out this garbage. Now this week, you’ve got some classic rants about Rush Limbaugh (dead) and Ted Cruz (dead...oh wait). Also, Pastrybot returned because we had such a good week in the world of p...

Happy Presidents Day! Wow, has it already been a year since the last one? Seems like all we do is think about Presidents here. "Does the President have a dog?" "What does the President think about global warming?" "Is the President going to send some drones to the local hospital?" You know, maybe "Presidents Day" should be a day where you DON'T think about the President. Kind of cool. Anyway, on t...

This again?! Whoa! It was "Big Game Sunday" just recently, so we had our resident gambling wizard - the Content King of Las Vegas - Brian Mollica, join us for some betting advice. The fellas get into some gambling talk for the big game, which you might have already heard, but we did some other stuff too! We reached into the way back machine to do a classic "Table for Ate" segment and talked about...

We went all in and to continue with the show like this would be to beat ourselves with the book. We are out, Sam. ★ Support this podcast ★

It’s another episode of the Beer Engine - and it’s all for you! Yes, you! Our oldest and dearest friend of the show. You deserve it my dear friend and we need your support more than ever in these “unprecedented times.” Today, there was some babble about “Joe Biden’s America” and Griff unexpectedly introduces a new, self-indulgent segment about lager. Life in Vegas rolls on, too, as Griff finally g...

Wow, another one (copyright DJ Khaled). And actually this episode and all episodes are sponsored by DJ Khaled, and written, produced and recorded by DJ Khaled. Kinda cool. On today’s show, the guys discuss life in Joe Biden’s renewed, inspired American utopia. Griff talks over some cool, classic beer styles he’s been enjoying in his new home. Then, the game you sit through 35 minutes of babble to...

Ah, hello. My deepest “apologies” for missing a whole week of podcast content *eye roll*. Well, we’re back now. Really, t’s not like we pumped out some bullshit for 41 consecutive weeks or anything. And maybe I just needed to chill a little bit and get my internet situation sorted out. Honestly, there shouldn’t even be internet out here, we’re in the middle of the god dang desert. But don’t worry,...

Wow, Griff did it, he drove 2000 miles just to host the Drippies! It’s all true, and I don’t even really have any good stories. We ate some poke and a banh mi, but that’s about it. No one got into a fight or anything. Worst thing was paying $15 in tolls in Oklahoma, gee whiz, and for what?! Today, the boys hand out the annual Drippy Awards and, of course, figure out the format on the fly. There ar...

You thought I would forget the show notes, just because I am driving 2000 miles across the country. WRONG! On today's show, the guys have some very serious beer conversation, putting their year of drinking under a retrospective microscope, and also putting some predictions for 2021 on record for some podcast weirdo to make fun of next December. Then, we hop into the Brux Capacitor for a short ride...

The holidays are coming hard and fast, my friends. And so is Santa………..hmm? Was that weird? Well, hope everyone is having a pleasant holiday season. Oh no, I’ve just been apprehended by the Christmas Army for saying “holiday season.” Looks like I’m headed to a special kind of jail for secular language next to all of your favorite Starbugs baristas. Well, the wheel of content moves on with or witho...

Seasons greetings, my friends! What a lovely December day here in the Midwest - it’s 4:30 PM, it’s dark, I’m sitting under the fluorescent glow of my ring light while drinking some saison. On today’s episode, the guys break down the hyperest, nerdiest, dorkiest news of the day by breaking down the “Easter Egg” single barrel variants of Bourbon County. Easter eggs? Goose Island, you idiots! That’s...

Tony said this was the show title, which really saves me some trouble. See, I forget pretty much everything that happened during the show instantly. I might as well have Will Smith right in front of me with one of those memory-zapping gadgets. What do I remember from this show? Well, I know Tony won a very special award (congrats) and we played an excellent game of "This or That" which will make y...

Heyyy. How's it going? Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? Did you get ripped up drunk and play Quiplash until 2AM? Hope so! On today's episode, the guys cover important existential questions: what beers does Waffle House like? How much has Griff spent on stout lotteries in the past 3 weeks? And what if you could travel through time? Would you do the obvious and kill, you know, "that guy?" Or w...

It's the holidays everyone, and you know what that means: it's time for everyone to stand in a long winding line through the H concourse at O'Hare to board Spirit Airlines flight 356. Onboard you and your 179 mates will be safely spaced 28 inches from each other. Alas, getting breathed on by a transient isn't in the cards for the boys this year so they are virtually bringing their podcast family t...

Hello. Hi. Welcome to the Beer Engine Podcast. The election is finally in the rear view mirror and America has returned to…normal? Whatever. On today's show, the guys get back to basics. What's that mean? Lager, bad bit ideas and a stupid, half assed game? Bloody hell. You're right. Sorry I guess. We did play a game that had some very funny beers, and I think you'll love it. And hey, if you like t...

Ah another week of show notes. OK, let's see here, close out the incognito windows, pull up Google Docs, and we're good! This week on the Beer Engine: Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump and musical guest, The Coconut Stouts! The guys do talk about the very predictable election results and start building Donald Trump's official enemies list. Also, Griff orders beer and succeeds and fails at the same time...

Oh no, Tuesday already?! Will the torture never end? Probably not. A fine Segway (the little scooter that's been discontinued, ha ha) to today's delightful Election Day special! Now, what could Tony and I add to your election day experience you ask? Well, I may not have any fancy maps that can zoom in on a county (try Google FYI) but I do have some IPA and we do both look kind of like handsome TV...

Bleh, bleh, I vant to suck…your blood! Dr. Griffinstein here (or whatever I called myself, I can’t remember) with some very professorial show notes for “dat ass.” On a very special Halloween episode of the show, the boys dig into the existential questions of Halloween. Why would a whole state like Runts? Who is your favorite drinking buddy monster? Would Meatloaf like a red ale with chili peppers?...

Greetings! Wow what a week hmm? I had a nice time anyway - had a few lagers, a couple seltzies. It's going great here really. Oh and also, there's another episode of the podcast you love! On today's episode, Tony loads up his beer with Fireball while Griff analyzes his bank account for stout. Then, Tony gets pushed into two impossible guessing games, attempting to guess the prices of Chicago stout...

Hello. Podcast activate. Listening nodes engaged and deployed. Comedy gauge set to 3...3.5 max. And, we're a go! Griff returns this week with some beer and safety ratings from Michigan, where kidnapping is cool? Also, coincidentally (*wink*) has some news of a kidnapping attempt on a well-known guest host. The guys also go in deep with some serious crypto-talk because we have a new bitcoin owner i...

When we don’t talk beer on this show we normally Seltzy, but today it’s about cocktails. We also spend some time being grumpy old men - is 40 the new 80? Of course, there is some Cobra Kai talk, because we are old men trying to relive our youth. And Brian Mollica tells a story involving Reebok Pumps and a Vasectomy in only the way he can. ★ Support this podcast ★
