On this episode of ABR LIVE!, Brian is mostly alive and it’s down to Alec and Chad to attempt to sound like beer aficionados. The probability of this occurring on episode 42 was 8,767,128 to 1 against, yes this is the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Reference Spectacular. While Alec and Chad nerd out they enjoyed a delightful dunkel from Evil Twin Brewing and a stunning sour from Prairie Artisan Ales.

We crack our first pod-beer of the year, The Ale Apothecary’s Little Star Saison, a shining example of the wonderful blending of flavors that wild/farmhouse style ales can achieve.

Second up, we enter Vahalla (metaphorically) extra warm thanks to Viking Funeral (Chocolate Chipotle 2023), from Four Fathers Brewing.

On this episode of American Beer Review LIVE!, we are talking crabs, cookies, CFB rankings, and DETH. Brian kicks things off with an important crab handling question, Chad surprisingly keeps the response PG. Our first beer of the day is Ironhorse Brewery's Cookie Death - another tasty remix of an ABR LIVE! perennial favorite, Quilter's Irish Death. We dip our toes into some sports punditry and talk about the shortcomings of the 2023 CFB Championship Four and our post-race thoughts on the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Moving back to beer we crack open, from Revolution Brewing, Cafe DETH - a bold, boozy, barrel aged stout. Alec provides a nifty little factoid about Revolution that could help you on a future Jeopardy appearance. Chad laments his crippling case of Cold-itis.
