The Beer Engine

Hey gang! Wow we made a mess of this one. Actually it’s not our fault, I blame the guys over at Cox Communications for throttling my internet. What dickheads! Honestly we had a good run of it for a while with some good riffing at the beginning, then we meandered into some good beer talk even.  Tony gets excited for the release of Truly Australia edition and Griff dreams of a delicious Aperol Sprit...

It is difficult to write a synopsis, especially when there is pleasure in letting a nontraditional story unfold.  The listener should go into this with no expectation.  Every re-watch will guarantee new clues. This is an anti-commercial podcast  so most listeners will hate it.  It was made as an experiment. While Griff was patching together notes, he realized that there can be a great tragic story...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh another week of podcasts! I have to ….what is it you guys do? Mow the lawn, sleep in my bed, fold some laundry, make my dinner, play an RPG, download some uh apps? Well you can listen to this while you do it. Today, the guys had some killer riffs (weedillyweedillyweeeeeeeewwwwwww) - get it like a guitar? Our fans tithed by providing us some vegemite pizza content, and we tapped the...

Oh no! It’s just Griff and Tony this week! Oh god what the hell I’m so depressed… So anyway what is up gang?? Nothing? OK I figured. This week, the guys cover a myriad of topics (you’re welcome!) including [reading notes] Goose Island Bad??? Topo Chico Margarita! Fresh hop pilsner! And so on. The guys also play a very exciting game of “This or That” where Tony is forced to decipher real hops from...

BANG! There’s the download booster. Should have gotten Guyscaped or Manstuff to sponsor this shit. On today’s show….not very much beer discussion (standard). The father of Vegas podcasting, Brian Mollica, returns and gives his thoughts on a variety of topics, including bourbon for children, NFL parlays and what you’re allowed to steal when you’re a teenager. Brian and Griff break down the intricac...

HELLO! I was just watching that Halloween episode of The Simpsons that is themed after “The Shining” and Homer opens up the door and says “HELLO!” so just say it like that in your head. On today’s show, we introduce the impromptu segment “Hyper Australia Dork Shit News.” Some serious activity on the Discord channel (which you can join very easily) means it gets it’s own drop, and the mailkeg asks...

Oh man! More show notes??? I guess whatever. On today's "welcome back" episode, Griff fawns over the deadly insects of Arizona….and some of their beer too. The guys mine the Discord for some free content and talk some gambling wins for Griff and some AFL screw ups for Tony *foghorn*. Tony hops back on the Deeds bandwagon, Griff is drinking English Mild, and the Lager of the Week heads to Italy for...

HelloooooooOOOoooOOOOOOOooo! Another day, another dollar down the toilet. I think it may cost us at least one dollar every time we do this show in penalties from the US government. Thanks guys! On today’s very looooooooong special episode, Griff breaks down his failure to buy Flamin’ Hot Mountain Dew, Tony mourns the downfall of Runza University Football and Joe Rogan has taken ill and applied a ...

[Quick warning even though I know you guys don’t read the show notes, but the first about 20 minutes of this show is Griff reading some extremely gross Facebook posts. If you don’t want to hear it because poop stuff isn’t funny to you, well, skip ahead about 20 minutes].  Helloooooooo (echo echo echo). Anyone out there? Oh yeah you’re all out there. Cool! The fellas dig deep this week into the con...

Thanks google docs, I’m sure Griff wrote something interesting, but instead this is what you get. They gather in a place, they fill a space, they are words, they are no such words. Eternity of days grind lead us to a hindrance of once belonging as our forefathers look on at the imagination of machinists. Forgive those who hark of yesteryear, as the hungry only feed at night, in Laura’s house makin...

OMGZORZ remember when people said stuff like that? Kind of? Not really? OK whatever. Well we’ve got more stuff this week and it’s full of important beer news and also some important happenings in the world of international basketball. The guys answer some emails and talk about the important happenings on Discord as per usual (get on there gang!). Griff gets smoky for his birthday, Tony goes full a...

Hello...I am doing the coffin dance right now but in a very sad or happy way??? Are they sad or happy? Not sure. On today’s show, Griff and Tony spoil the result of USA vs. Australia. Not in basketball, just overall actually. Tony’s “beer” of the week elicits some discussion of illegal behavior from Griff, and then some illegal behavior from Tony. The statute of limitations has expired I think so...

Ooooh have we got a barnburner for you today! Wooooo weeee! Well, now what happened today hmm? Alright, I can’t pull that off much longer so we’re just gonna quit it. On today’s Beer Engine Pod, Tony gives us the weekly health update (aka proof of life) that we are actually all here for. Griff is dodging the COVID hot zone but he’s not sure how or why yet. Then the guys breakdown the beer to horni...

First! That's what people say when they are the first to comment on Donald Trump's posts I think but, not me. I'm essentially commenting on every episode we've ever done but just here in the giant inline thread of all 65 episodes or whatever. I win! On today's show, an in depth recap of many things - the NBA Finals? The Las Vegas bottle shop hierarchy? Blackjack at the Sunset Station? Boston Beer'...

Beer Engine: New Vegas! That also could have been the title. Or something else that has anything to do with maybe coming back after a couple weeks off? Whatever. Well our Summer Vacay is over :( back to the podcast mines to grind out some more content. Put your hardhat on Tony! Today instead of Gypsum we managed to pull up some fun “sporps” talk about basketball, maybe some of the footy. You know,...

Omg gotta write the show notes from my bed. Hello! It's another show from these two guys! On today's episode, a lot of basketball stuff as Tony mourns the beginning of the end for the Sydney Sixers. Griff brings his Globetrotters conspiracy theory to the pod (and 8chan??). And the guys are back on their bullshit with lagers and stouts for days. Then, a new "Two Brews and a Lie" with a lot of words...

Damn we just did this show and I already forgot what it was about!? No! Well in the first 20 minutes we were all over the damn place and I think Tony went on about Aussie gas stations. Then we did some NBA and betting chit chat. Cool! Also a big Hyper Beer Nerd Dork Shit News (™) segment about the end of beer. It's all over folks, pack it in. At the end, Tony gets caged up in the circus and has to...

Ohhhhhhhhhh I'm tired. I moved out of my house yesterday and, wow, even when you pay soekihe to do it, it's tiring. Also the guys who came by may have been a syndicate outfit. We'll see. On today's show, we talked about Australian gin and tonic for too long before Kelly hops in to give is the expert's opinion on some new seltz flaves. Then, we throw a tricky game and Tony and Kelly where they have...

Oh man, the fellas have survived for another week, which means you, the lucky listener, receive one (1) additional week of wonderful, useful beer content. On today’s show, Griff tediously runs down the most painful of details of his drive across the nation - you know things like what car he drove and the route he was driving and the cost of various tolls. Super! Also, the guys talk about some of t...

We're back! Thanks for waiting, gang. I was busy driving across the entire country and still trying to keep a quota of hazy IPA and sugar stout. Don't worry, I made it. On today's episode, we break down the necessity of "Train Beers," some 10 year old Quad, and Tony hoists himself from a fancy beer drought. Also, the guys kind of make assholes of themselves (but in a good way) talking about the se...

This is a real test for me. See, we literally just recorded the show and I pretty much don't remember anything that either of us said. That's okay, I'll still keep making this garbage. On today's show, the guys cover a lot of ground - Griff's final weekend in Vegas, Tony's feelings on Red Rooster and the latest from the world of Jon Taffer. Also, Griff waxes poetic about a new beer bar and a new t...

Show notes?? Damn, I'm so tired...but for you guys, anything. On today's episode, we talked about chicken A LOT. There is some super dork news about the environment which inspires both hosts to go on full tilt tirades. Griff thinks about all of the delicious barleywine he has waiting for him in Chicago, and who wouldn't? Finally a chicken…. game? Whatever. I'm going back to sleep. Good night every...

Clickbait alert! He's going after B-dubs, get him! It's true, I did go after B-dubs, but you can't be mad because it's our first anniversary show! Today, the guys celebrate by barely recognizing that it's been a whole year of this…whatever this is. The guys complain about already really bad restaurants, and then unleash a thicc batch of seltzer news. Oh yeah! After that, Griff tosses Tony into the...

Oh no! More show notes? I can't even! Just kidding, I'm good! What a great episode we have this week. A fully-vaccinated Griff and an unvaccinated but unthreatened Tony take on the "major issues of the day" in the "world of beer." Not really, but Griff does give a review of the new Burger King chicken sandwich everyone is going on about. The guys cover some important Hyper Beer Nerd Dork Shit News...

Oh wow remember April Fools Day? It was like, a few days ago. April Fools Day is one of those days that you remember for about 3 minutes while it’s happening. Well, good news, your favorite podcast made a whole episode about it….kind of. On today’s highly organized and well thought out episode, your heroes (that’s Tony and Griff) bring you all the important brewery April Fools bits you love, and s...
