A Beer with Atlas

Wanna hear Brian drink a beer and recite a poem by William Butler Yeats? - hehe "YEETS" This Hazy IPA came to us from the Boston, MA / Portland, ME meet and greet that we had a while back. The super funny thing about it is that this beer is actually from Portland, OR. They just distribute their beer to Massachusetts and one of our recruiters *Cough* Braden Boex *Cough Cough* grabbed it on accident...

This week, we decided to drink 3 beers from Milewide Brewing Company in Louisville, KY. For National IPA day specifically, we saved the sour IPA for last!

"Oud Bruin Ales" or "Old Brown Ales" is a style of beer that we have never had before.

Also, Dolan talks about his hedgehog. 🦔

Thank you, Sense, for bringing us this flavor bomb of a beer from Foam Brewers out of Burlington, Vermont! "Constellations" is a Sour IPA featuring Galaxy, Comet, and Strata hops and is definitely, but maybe not as much as the recent photos taken by The James Webb Telescope, out of this world!    Come join us for the flavor ride and some information about... Jurassic Park? - Yes. We went there, an...

Ever wonder what the original Sunday Paper was called and when it first appeared? Spoiler, it wasn't this beer, but this imperial stout by Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company sure is an amazing follow-up.  "Come on guys, a stout in the summer?" Yes.

How did we go from talking bout this beer to talking about the Donner Party? :O I guess that's what happens when you get together with some friends and down an easy-drinking beer like FiftyFifty Brewing Company's "Tahoe Pilz."

We can't believe it's been 200 episodes! Thank you so much for all of the beers you have sent to us.

If you want more plum facts and/or just like sour IPAs, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU! No seriously, we understand that that first paragraph might sound somewhat "Infomercial-y," but it's what happens! As the resident Atlas Beer gurus sip on this former nomadic brewery'...

Thanks to our resident Tech Nerd, Aaron Daly, we were able to have 1 of only 35 bottles made of this beer by Colorado Spring's Nano brewery, Local Relic Artisan Ales. Saison with Maple? We thought the same thing. Did it work? Listen and find out what Rich and Brian thought as they sip through this rare concoction of a beer.

One of our Travelers and her husband came down to our Arizona meet and greet about a month ago, and gave us a beer. While handing over Goldwater Brewing's Hazy IPA "Hop Chowda," they exclaimed that it was the "best Hazy IPA in Phoenix." During the same exchange, Dolan, one of our Brand Specialists, said "Really? Even better than Fate Brewing's "False Promises?" Brought to you by Traveling nurse, H...

Week 4 of drinking Non-Alcoholic beers just so happens to land on 4/20. So, we decided we should "Dank" it up a little bit with another Non-Alcoholic IPA from Wellbeing Brewing Co. BUT, even with the added flavor, we're still staying sober for the drug test we will take for our next travel nurse assignment. ;) If someone handed us this beer and told us that it's just a regular IPA, we would believ...

It's the 3rd episode of "A Non-Alcoholic Beer with Atlas," and this time, the beer comes all the way from Germany. Coming in at 0.0 ABV, you can definitely "drive" after drinking this one.

We are kicking off the next month filled with Non-Alcoholic beers starting with Heineken's Buckle brew! YES! We did say Non-Alcoholic.

NA beers are becoming more and more popular and can fill the need for a cold one without the effects that Alcohol can bring to the table....
