The Ales and Tales Podcast Trying all the beers we can and letting you know what's great and what's well...yeah Finding and reviewing good beer for all.

It’s hard work, but somebody has to do it. Every beer must be thoroughly explored, examined, sipped and sampled; tested for our listeners’ enjoyment. Bad ones, we suffer through...so you don’t have to. The good ones?...well, that’s just a bonus!

This Summery episode brings us Market Garden Brewing’s Shandy. One of three they offer. This Berry Pom Shandy is a wheat beer brewed with berry soda and the flavor of “freshly opened tropical gummy bears”…because nobody wants stale gummy bears. Speaking of gummy bears…tune in for some fun stories. Have you ever added a soda to your perfectly good beer? Fanta maybe? Let us know if you have and how it went.

This episode involves a brewing pact or Braupakt between Weihenstephan and Saint Bernardus breweries. This is the second version of Weihenstephaner Braupakt. And if their first is anywhere near as good as this one, we’re all in! Tons of spice and flavors all over, but none in the wrong amounts. Whether completely cold or as it warms up, it brings a vast array of changing flavors. Check it out and let us know what you think!

On this new episode we try out Sieg Kolsch by Living Waters Brewing. Nothing like some warring cyclops gnomes to drive you to drinking. Check out the description of the can art…you’ll understand. Also, a fun drinking topic: Without looking, is the Keebler Elves home the tree itself, or a house built in the tree? We’d love to hear your thoughts on whether more exotic can art normally provides the more exotic and enjoyable experience or is simple better? Which came first: the Schnitzel or the Kolsch?

Have you seen the latest episode? With a new studio setup and new beer to dive into, we start off with Seattle Washington based Elysian Brewing Company’s SPACE DUST IPA. Cool logo and bottle art, strong abv at 8.2%, and ideal for that straight up IPA flavor…for those of you who like that particular flavor. Some bitterness, and able to be paired with fairly wide range of tastes. Not a marathon beer, but a good sprint to the finish line? Let us know what YOU think!

New episode out! Southern Range Brewing comes swinging in with their Tiny Ass Umbrella, a New England Hazy IPA. Many apologies for this episode, as there were quite possibly no mature minds available…ALSO, there was not video available until a little over 15 min in. We had some tech issues. BUT!...It could be a fun listen. If you are not an IPA fan, this one may be for you. We turned an IPA enemy into an IPA friend (that’s what we’re here for folks).

New episode dropping at 11 am central today: NoDa Brewing Company JAM Session review! Listed as a "sessionable pale ale" brewed with English and American malts, and bright hop notes.

This episode we hunt the mythical Green Man…Green Man Brewing’s IPA that is. Have you heard of the new game, “poop or chocolate?” Could be a new gameshow sensation! Don’t pass this episode by even if you are not an IPA fan. Is this beer voluptuous, or supple? Interesting descriptions, but not everyone agrees… Listen in to see how sitting with a beer for a while can change perspectives.

In this episode, we explore Three Tavern’s Ukiyo, a Japanese inspired rice lager. At 4.25% abv, It’s dry and floral and very lightly fruity. Could be a good alternative to a shandy for a nice “beat the heat” treat. And if you’re into boiled chicken slurpers, this could be your pairing!

New Episode! Post Christmas, Christmas beer! Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.’s “12 Dogs of Christmas,” a fun one, with nice and low abv of only 8.3%! It’s still winter, still cold, and the perfect time to get in some of the holiday drinking you missed out on, and for that level of abv to warm you right up, while refreshing you at the same time. Not a ton of spices if you prefer a more mellow Christmas beer. If you enjoy the show, help us spread the word by sharing, liking and subscribing!

And, wait…Heavy metal style art and logos on metal beer cans, that you can drink while listening to metal? That’s so METAL! Now, whether the beer inside that metal branded metal can is metal or not…well, you’ll just have to listen in to find out. In this, our last episode recorded before Halloween and released right at Christmas (HEY! The Nightmare Before Christmas, beer edition!), we give some grief, and some praise. Check it out!

Our second recording from Halloween, a scary beer for folks living in the dull, mild tasting beer zone…This one is WAAAAAAAAY outside the box. Expect lots of pairing options, and maybe even some recipe ideas. Truly, this is a wild beer to try. Not for the faint of heart…but definitely for those who like to get outside their comfort zone. If you try it, slow yourself down, because the longer it lingers, the more it changes. It’s the chameleon of beers. And if you don’t like it at first, stick with it and see if it changes. We’d love to hear if you try this one, so let us know! And if you enjoy the show, help us spread the word; give us a like and subscribe!

It’s Halloween time, and to start off the next few episodes at least one of us is ready to show their Halloween spirit! We dive right into the pumpkin patch with an Imperial Pumpkin Ale: Southern Tier’s “The Pumking.” It’s an 8.6% ABV terror, that though full of spice, comes in for the attack as smooth as could be. Would you consider this a gift from the Great Pumpkin? Let us know! If you enjoy, help us spread the word about our podcast, give us a like and subscribe!

We’re throwing a curveball at our guest right out of the gate as we break out a great beer company….but a lesser known offering (and not a style he's a fan of...watch some previous episodes and you'll understand). King Titus Porter, by Maine Beer Company. It’s an homage beer to a Gorilla. Listen in to find out a little on that. Cool stuff. And the beer is too! It’s like a Yoohoo if it was coffee…and alcoholic. Lots of flavor but not as thick as you would think. Help us out by giving us a like and subscribing! For audio only, you can find podcast options at www.thealesandtalespodcast.com.

New! Happy Funky Birthday Anniversary Beer! This Farmhouse Ale-Saison collaboration with Yahoo and Perennial Artisan Ales is definitely owed some kudos; when a person who doesn’t like saisons says he really digs this one, that’s a win. Very complex, very rich, and well worth giving a try. What would you pair this with for ….breakfast?

Well, here is a very complex one. And...so, Barrique, is Jim allowed back in after his porter episode? Hard to describe, and all over the palate. Garlic is not the flavor, but hits the same areas. Very fruity, but very even keel. Wild! And the ratings may surprise you. Listen in to see if this is one you should experience. While you are at it, give us a like and subscribe!

This one took a minute to get a grasp on. You should probably like strawberry and salt before diving in. Give it time, it may grow on you. It did for us…well, some of us. Also, Andy’s pairing idea worked! Surprisingly, getting thumbs ups from six people. If you can find it, give it a shot. And while you are at it, give us a like and subscribe!

Today we’re all getting a little hazy and giving Sierra Nevada Brewing Company’s Hazy Little Thing IPA a try. A rather unique and very raw IPA, which skips the filter entirely and goes straight from the chilled tank right into the can. Many beer stories abound in this episode…and make sure you pronounce it right or the locals get a little testy. It’s Nuh- VAA- duh, dammit.
