Episode 30: Q & A

We take a slight departure from our normal show, we are going to answer some listener questions. If you have questions make sure to leave them in the comments.

Tailgating Beers

In warmer weather Jim is looking for a nice pilsner, in the colder months he’s thinking about a porter or a barley wine.

From Jake’s point of view tailgating is a time limited experience. So to avoid the high prices inside the stadium you need a beer you can drink a number of quickly. So in that vein a Yuengling or Rolling Rock, might be a good choice.

Also you have to think about what you are eating to pick an appropriate beer.

Wedding Beers

Jim responsibly suggests a beer with lower alcohol content since people tend to drink to excess at these types of events. But whatever you do keep it simple.

Jacob suggests if you can bring in your own beer do a nice sampler. Buy a case apiece of some random beers. If you can’t then Sam Adams Boston Lager is a good choice.

Trading Beer

Short version, you can’t put beer in the mail. Longer version their are a number of beer trading websites out there that you can find people in your area that you could trade with in person. It’s a great way to discover new beers, but again you can’t ship beer without a license.

Next Week

We a take a detour and talk about Stone’s 11th Anniversary Ale. We are filling some time before we do holiday beers in December.
