The Beer Engine

That's right! It's another year of the most anticipated awards show in all of beer, The Drippies!!! ★ Support this podcast ★

And on the seventh day he said “let there be another show and some show notes!!” And I said, sure whatever. So here you go, this show was super fun to make and I love that Rachel Leigh Cook is cranking out Hallmark movies now. Gobblessem all! May these movies and this bit never die. Anyways, get on our discord and nominate some Drippies winners, the Drippies will return on Jan 29!! ★ Support this...

Alright we're back. And I'm whipping together some notes last minute because I was eating Thai food! We had some good stuff, some green papaya salad, some large, some brisket, some noodles, some crab fried rice. It was a win across the board. Hey gang the Drippies are coming up so I'll be opening up that channel on the Discord to get your noms in. Do it! ★ Support this podcast ★

Time to settle in by that holiday fire and enjoy one of these newfangled American podcasts. Listen to the soothing voice of an Australian brewer describe the pick and roll. Or the pleasant baritone of a guy in a now very less echo-y room talking about Dubai chocolate and cookie butter. Ahh now that’s Christmas, isn’t it folks. How about a nice game where for some reason they talk about soyface and...

Ooooopsie I forgot to do show notes. Is that why we are late posting the show? Let’s just say it is. Tony was in a particular “holly jolly” mood today as we ran down some amazing and fun topics. You’re gonna wanna listen to this one folks!(?) All the normal stuff with a fun holiday spirit, plus Trader Joe’s items. Check it out, it's that fabulous beer engine show. ★ Support this podcast ★

We're back and better than ever!! Bester?? Oh no, I've messed up again. Well I think we did a great comeback show and now we're back on track….maybe. We had a nice time talking about the Hulk and stuff. Hey, if you want something to do just type in “Ray Allen tweet” into Google and you'll understand our game today. Ok see ya. ★ Support this podcast ★

When it comes to Aussie gambling sites,  I just can’t imagine what’s better than the Lucky Owl Club. I mean, you get everything: some awesome games, great banking, all the crypto you want. It’s a lot like beers, loaded with crypto and a bunch of shitty scams. Today we looked at a number of Beggars pizzas, considered the homeland security risk level of a can of Steel Reserve, and put Tony into a bi...

Just kidding!!!! We're back though, and it took us a little while to really get into the swing of things, but I think we found it. Some amazing pizza disasters this week, some great fast food analysis, plus maybe my favorite kölsch EVER. Tony enjoys the Bourbon County game this year and I really think my variants are even better than the real ones. ★ Support this podcast ★

You wouldn't believe the type of hellhole warzone I just got out of. I was stuck eating pizza, sushi, pour over coffee, fresh hop beers. Won't somebody think of the children, my goodness!! ★ Support this podcast ★

Also Tony had to pause the show to use the toilet. Which is just what they call it there, he’ll get pissed at me if I call it a “restroom” or a “bathroom.” It’s the toilet!! Today we came upon the weirdest beer related PR push of all time, and I honestly cannot unlock what is happening there. Some really bizarre stuff.   I would try “Dale’s IPA,” I just want that out there. I would try it and I th...

Honestly I think today was the most difficult Untrappd game ever, and was absolutely based on total falsehoods. This was a fake news version of Untrappd. I also spend some time trying to legitimize shrimp pizza, trying to decode pizza bots, and bragging about my Russian River intake.  The conservative dad has been defeated, I repeat, the conservative dad has been defeated by Anheuser-Busch! ★ Supp...

On 12 October 1810 Crown Prince Groff of Bavaria married Princess Tony of Maffcohausen. Munich officials invited the public to celebrate on fields outside the city walls; the site was named Tonywiese (“Tony's Meadow”) the following year and is still called Wiesn . The highlight of the first festival was a beer rating guessing game modelled on the medieval Scharlachrennen once run at Karlstor. Majo...

*Matt Berry voice* ah yes, the Beer Engine PodCAST! Yes, we’re finally back, the great Beer Engine Podcast, doing our usual stuff. Do they like beer, we don’t know, are they drinking beer, we don’t know! Tony makes a big bet on the Measles taking over a certain, non-vaccinating state and Griff eats fancy bread and fancy burgers. It’s just what we do. Pizza is discussed and also a man is angry abou...

Don’t say it! Another podcast came out today, much to the chagrin of the haters and losers. It was nice to catch up with my friend Tony (or my friend Griff, depending on whose perspective you tend to read this from). We talked about some of our wonderful recent travels, our beautiful very sweet stouts we are cooking up and drinking, and how cool it is to get rained on sometimes. What else, what el...

It’s over. The bubbles have settled. The Fruit War is done. This week, we break down the final results of the Seltzer Bracket in all their sticky, citrus-stained glory. 44 flavors entered. Only one remained standing — and it might surprise you. Was it a refreshing underdog? A nostalgic juggernaut? Or a mango-tinted fever dream from the depths of the convenience store fridge? Tony and Griff walk yo...

Damn, it is just so good being a Meadcaster. What’s great about it you ask: 1) every beverage I enjoy is one of the highest rated beverages on the planet. B) Beer people are jealous of me for my uncontroversially delicious honey booze. And 3) They just invented these automatic insulin pumps which really keep the tingling in my feet to a minimum. Tony had to guess the ratings on 5 meads and gang, i...

Grab your weirdest fruit puree and pour one out for your dignity—this week, we say goodbye to the Seltzer Bracket in true Beer Engine fashion: with a burp, a rant, and a few questionable decisions. Tony returns with sticky hands and suspicious cans after a hard-fought bracket finale, while Griff does his best to pretend this is a serious podcast. We crown a champion (spoiler: it’s not your palate)...

Gosh it's been so long since we recorded I nearly forgot to write show notes. My goodness what a shame that would have been. Well, we were back at it today in the midst of a lot going on! The final AF1 update of the week, and definitely not the last pizza group, discord, news segments and whatever else it is we do. They are all back! Also, Untappd screws me big time. Ok see ya! ★ Support this podc...

This is what our discourse has come to in this country. Can we not have a CiViLiZeD dEbAtE?!?! Can we not call our leaders “perverts” and “freaks” and “psychos?” Can we not espouse wild conspiracy theories? Can we stop having to TIP these TEENAGERS who make our PIZZAS for $5 an hour?! Which is not enough to buy 1/3rd of a beer from Inter Miami? Huh?!  Anyways we did pizza group and some other stuf...

Description: This week on the Beer Engine, Griff and Tony stumble into another hour of beer-soaked banter, featuring everything from crispy bois to questionable adjunct choices. We dive into the ongoing lager renaissance, ask whether cold IPA is a scam, and offer unsolicited advice to macro brewers who’ll never listen. Also on tap: Griff tries not to cry while reviewing another West Coast IPA made...

Dare I say, some of our best beer conversation and the most psychotic pizza group posts combined in a single episode ever?? Maybe, but it leads off with some of America and Australia’s favorite NBA, AFL, AF1 and Colorado politics conversation. Tony finally has some success in a game which was a real Caribou Slobber Knocker. I’m dreading leaving this room because I just know that SOMEONE is watchin...

In Germany the Subway bread is GOOD. Griff is back from a long break and the guys are running through the important info for beer drinkers that follow the “Great Griff Trail.” Hey, check out the slideshow on the Discord!! Kolsch, Orvals, lambics, $25 stout, it’s all covered here. It’s the beer-lovers fantasy - “yeah sure, I can have the best beers in the world for $5 but screw that! I want to pay...

Ahhhhhh the French champagne!!! No, I don’t have to do an Orson Welles bit, and we didn’t even talk about the guy this week, but I had been watching those outtakes from the Paul Merson wine ads. They are great, you should check them out. Today is our last show for a few weeks, so we ran the gamut of all the things our fans love - kickass lagers from the STORE, the world’s finest football, Pope-tal...

What is it like being in a game where you are losing 79-0, or it ends 100-12? What’s it like being in the AF1, your floundering sponsorship from the Hulkster holding you hostage, forcing you to watch your team get obliterated by a QB who completes 10 passes, 7 for touchdowns, for a robust 110 yards? Do you look at everything that led you to this moment: the tears on the HS practice field, the brut...

What if there were a super league for the NCAA Tournament? Like, they took 8 teams that were just too good for the real thing and faced them off against each other. That would rock, and we did that today on the Beer Engine Pod. Also, we took down the dead pope and absolutely did not make it political! I made a live bet on the Nuggets. And some of our favorites are now top 50 breweries due to attri...
