Have A Drink

People love advent calendars, and while I’m sure they have religious reasons or traditions . . . we love putting alcohol in them. So we are going to try and get one done in one night, because screw tradition and our livers. So punch a hole in the box and join us, as we Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast.

BOXED, BOXED WIIIIIIINE! Goes to my Head! Makes me forget the cork-taint. It seems I am being told to stop singing, but you know what today’s episode is about. Have we abandoned the classy bottle for the cheap bag here on Have a Drink? Or is there a reason to slap the bag? Grab your fanciest Franzia and have a drink. Hosted on Acast.

We’ve done it! Mission accomplished, everyone, send the Trappists home, the finish line is in sight. It’s our last in our yearlong deep dive into Trappists. We’ve picked up a lot of new history and gotten to compare how each monastery looks at brewing differently, so what do we have to talk about today? Well, these Trappists have a more international feel, so we’re getting a little further away fr...

Jonathan Walker, Johnnie to his friends, has been making Scotch for hundreds of years. It was probably your first Scotch, whether it was red, black, or Blue. Honestly, it feels like the Budweiser of Scotch. You’ll find it anywhere and everyone’s had it. Is there more to this brand than the marketing, we’ll look at that more. And it should go without saying, but we’ll have a drink. Hosted on Acast....

Beer has 4 ingredients: Barley, hops, yeast and water. Except when they add more things. Today it’s usually fruit or marshmallows. . . I wouldn’t be surprised if they just added tacos to the mash, but historically, one of the best additions has been wheat. We are going to delve into that today, and see how wheat has changed beer over the years, and the best way to do that is to Have a Drink. Hoste...

It’s another wine episode so let’s look at the the rich, vibrant history of another well known wine region. Today’s region is . . . Germany? [laughs uncontrollably] ah, that’s good, but seriously where is it. Oh, they make something other than beer in Germany? Well, I guess that means there is a lot to learn today, so pour you a riesling, and Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...

We let Bob write another episode, so of course it’s not about alcohol. We really need to get someone to explain to him what this show is about. At least it’s drinking adjacent, unlike his pitched idea of an episode on the Battle for Stalingrad. Today we’re talking about Drinking songs, but there probably won’t be any more singing on the show than normal. So relax, maybe hum a few bars, and Have a...

It’s time for another round of Tapping the Trapp, or I guess Le Trappe in the case of today’s episode. It’s time to continue our Trappist series with some new Trappist beers. Well, new to the series, all of these are very old breweries by today’s standards. So grab whatever Abbey beer you can find, join us for Trappist 3: With a Vengeance, and Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy f...

Well, we're movin' on up! To the east side! To a deluxe distillery, in the Sky! Okay, yeah we are talking about Jefferson's today, and do our best not to make references to 70s sitcoms. That seems unlikely, but what does seem likely, is that we'll have a drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So we’re talking about espresso today so there will be a lot of coffee talk today and maybe we’ve drank a lot of coffee and maybe the caffeine is getting to us but who are you to judge I’ll drink as much as I want so maybe you should calm down cause I’m perfectly calm and we are just gonna have a drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s time for another installment of Alcohol Disasters, and I don’t know how many of these we can do. Usually our episodes don’t come with a death count quite this high. But we’re going to look at 3 different disasters today and hopefully learn how to not die. Look, it might get depressing, you might want to . . . have a drink. Hosted on Acast.

Ah the Etruscans. The people who Rome over threw to become a republic. We’re gonna get into the nitty gritty about this civilization, Chris I don’t know how you convinced Casey and Brittany to do this but I’m down . . . Oh crap. It’s Tuscan Wine not Etruscans. Well, I guess we’ll talk about wine then, so grab a glass and join us as we Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more i...

Pucker up, buttercup, cause we are talking about Oud Bruins and Flander’s red today. Is there any difference to these styles, and if so, is one necessarily better than the other? We probably won’t answer that question, but we will look into what makes these beers what they are. So grab a beer, maybe some pancakes since it’s Belgian, and have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

We talked with the owners/brewers at The Void in Lexington, KY (IRL!) about the sake brewing process, being the only sake brewery in Kentucky (and one of the only handful in America), and taste through their selections. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There ain’t no party like a Westmalle party, because a westmalle party is filled with catholic monks, and probably guilt. Westvleteran too, but it doesn’t fit the meter. Anyway, we are continuing with our discussion of Trappist beers, and their history. So get cozy in your robes and join us as we have a drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aperitifs and Digestif . . . did the show suddenly get fancy? Probably not, but those words can seem intimidating if you aren’t used to them. Still, if you have a smoking jacket, why not put it on while you listen to us explain drunk appetizers and nightcap to you. Most importantly, though, you should have a drink. Hosted on Acast.

Today we talk about a legend, and legends aren’t always good people. Today we talk about George Remus, bootlegger extraordinaire. Are you looking for some Jay Gatsby? Cause Fitzgeraled was inspired by someone. There is a lot to get to, so buckle up as we talk about crime, corruption, and bootlegging, and while we’re at it, have a drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Drink for me Argentina, you know I’ve always loved you. . . Okay look we don’t often work musical theater into the intros, just humor Bob. Anyway, we are talking about Argentinian wine, or Argentine wine, who knows what’s right, some sort of English student probably. So let’s look at wine from this New World country, and see if it can surpass the old world flavors we had before. So join us as we h...

Ah the Trappists, wait a minute. I’m pretty sure we already did this one. Well maybe we know more now. We sure as Hell couldn’t know less. So let’s revisit this topic, at least start to, because this is the first part of a multipart deep dive into the Trappist breweries. So grab a beer, maybe get a robe or something, and have a drink.

Welcome, I’m a Bobstradomus and I am here to tell you the future of 2021. In this year we will see Robots will finally rise up and I for one welcome our new overlords, Jaws 19 in 3D will finally be released, and I finally get a beer prediction right. Ok, one or more of those is wrong, but it’s time for us to wildly speculate about the year ahead, and maybe Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See acast....

We taste a vertical of the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine: years 2012 to 2021. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oh God, after music streams, games, and marbles how are we gonna follow that? What have we got? Beer . . . well, alright. Not sure if we can match the donations but we’ll give it the old college try. Join us as we run down a bunch of Dragon’s Milk and hopefully survive New Years Streamathon. Join us as we Have A Drink! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel drunk . . . Well that might be over selling things, but these are some real tragedies of the alcohol world. People died, fortunes were lost, generally not a good time, so let’s look back and see what happened. After this, we will probably need to Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast.
