Loonacy Podcast

We visit Modist Brewing to talk the Loons' 2020 season and give our predictions as we gear up for the Season Opener this weekend. See where we think they land. Then we talk a French football player's odd way of winning a fight on the pitch and dating ghosts. What could be weird about that?

The guys visit Falling Knife Brewing in Minneapolis and visit with Jimmy about the brewing, then talk the Loon's preseason and where Minnesota United sit. They get to taste a special release not yet available and talk about an employment dispute about flatulence and then learn some people want to dissolve their marriage by any means possible.

Loonacy Podcast celebrates 50 episodes by revisiting one of their favorites, Allow Brewing Co. They're joined by friends including Dave the Bartender and they talk about the most recent moves the Loons are finally making as the preseason ramps up. The guys also reminisce about passed episodes and talk some fun stories.

The guys go to HeadFlyer Brewing and are joined briefly by Head Brewer, Shaun, then hang with some friends and talk the Loons' quiet offseason, rumors at goal keeper and forward, an extension for Adrian Heath, and close out with a kitchen fire and a meth addict carjacking a truck with a goat from a porn shop.

Tony and Dave end up shorthanded when David becomes incapacitated and unable to join them at AEGIR Brewing Company in Elk River. They talk the very quiet offseason for the Loons, Holidays and other things.

The guys visit Inbound BrewCo and welcome special guest Katelyn to talk a bit about the brewery, then they discuss MNUFC's front office changes and what they may mean to the average fan, some player rumors, a little MLS Cup, and finish off with an inappropriate police officer who loves his hot dog a bit too much.

The guys travel to Golden Valley to visit Under Pressure Brewing for the first time to chat the playoff loss to LA Galaxy, a few bits of roster news, David's less-than-popular opinion on Vito's loan, a guy who likes to remodel homes he doesn't own and someone brewing beer in their stomach.

The guys head to Pryes Brewing for a second time this season and talk the Portland draw and the Loons clinching the playoffs against Sporting KC. Also, burglars who cook and clean and getting stuck 30,000 ft up.

An unusual Tuesday podcast finds the guys at Blue Wolf Brewing with True North Elite guests as they tap the Oktoberfest and toast a massive win for MNUFC against Real Salt Lake while trying to forget the loss in Houston.

This one is a doozie. MNUFC's packed schedule makes for a long episode, but Lupulin Brewing is the perfect place for it. We welcome Ben from Lupulin to join us and talk beer, the brewery and soccer. What could be better? Plus, talk of the USOC Final, la Liga gets fined and the Welsh create a bathroom to stop recreational activities.

The guys visit BlackStack Brewing in St. Paul to enjoy more craft beer and talk about MNUFC's continued unbeaten streak, concerns with crossing against organized defenses, transfer rumors, the USOC Semi-final with another big Western Conference matchup, Denver's prairie dog problems, FAKE NEWS, and interview dreams.

The gang is back, visiting 10K Brewing in Anoka, MN, talking the Loons' wins over New Mexico United and FC Dallas as well as the draw against Real Salt Lake to make it 8 games unbeaten. Throw in some alligators on meth, seagulls dunked in tikka masala, add a dash of NYT writing poorly about podcasts, and you have a recipe for an "intriguing" show.

The guys welcome Griffin - aka MNUFC Commenter - to discuss the must-need victories over San Jose and Montreal; Roster rotation priorities; What positions may be needed in the transfer window; and the top craft beers that made Minnesota.
