Speaker 1:

I don't want to guess. He poked him there with a straw. Oh well, that's the least weird thing that I. But like, my thought is like maybe you really need a straw and so like that's why you're using a hot dog, but you use the straw.

Speaker 2:

Ooh, welcome to another episode of the American Beer Review Podcast. Good times with good friends requires good beer. Lucky for us, we know how to pick all three.

Speaker 1:

We're a group of friends who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, giving us a jumpstart on our craft beer journey.

Speaker 2:

Join us today. While, brian, I pride myself on not getting to know other people, so do not put that on me.

Speaker 1:

Alec. So the bananas up until like the 60s were an entirely different species of banana and Chad. It hit me like a beck and bob Review some beer talk about beer topics and whatever else comes up.

Speaker 2:

We invite you to pour yourself a drink and hang out with us.

Speaker 1:

Let me know where I'm if I'm blocking, not, we're just ending things, we're just. If I'm flocking, no, we're just going to let it rip and we'll see how it looks. All right, we don't do preambles anymore. No we just jump right in.

Speaker 2:

I know, that is one thing I do kind of miss because they always set a tone.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of like a little Yep. Anyway, welcome back Another episode of American Beer Review Podcast. What are we drinking today, thor? Oh, today, this episode 44, the Water of Life. Do you need the cans?

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

Are we doing something again? Yeah, See this From Source Brewing. We have Ocean Water, oh.

Speaker 2:

I thought this was like another nerve.

Speaker 1:

This is a water ice style sour ale with blue raspberry. That's 7.5%. Yep, we'll get into them. And then from InPrint Brewing we have Smoogee Squid Ink, squid Ink without Squid Ink, a raspberry, boysenberry and blue cookie ice cream, heavily fruited smoothie sour ale. Very disappointed in this one because we talked about weird ingredients to put in beers. I think our last episode, two ago maybe, yeah, something. Well, we got Squid Ink coming up because that was one of the weird ingredients. No squid, no ink. In this one you got to talk to the asshole who buys the beer and said oh yeah, I got some squid ink in it.

Speaker 1:

It's called squid ink, so you would think. But the Slugey. Have we had a slugey before I? Don't think we've had anything from the imprint.

Speaker 2:

We did.

Speaker 1:

I think we had a dark logger. Aren't they the nectar on wallpaper people? No, that's perennial, I don't know. We did do an imprint. I know that. We'll correct it in post.

Speaker 2:

But anyways, to celebrate Dune 2.

Speaker 1:

Yes, oh my gosh Also, this was going to be a Zoolander theme oh god, they have 1,558 beers. We audibled from the Zoolander theme of water, the essence of wetness to just water life Because we're Dune artists we 60% Collectively to just water life. Because we're doodards we 60% collectively, 66%. Yeah, repeat it 66 to 33. That wins on lecture, mild enthusiasm and nectar on wallpaper.

Speaker 2:

I win.

Speaker 1:

My bad, my bad. So you were right, though that dark mild is mild. Enthusiasm yes, but nectar on wallpaper was imprint. So you were right though that Dark Mild is mild and confused.

Speaker 2:

But Nectar on Wallpaper was imprint.

Speaker 1:

It's another one for better. Both very tasty beers, both normal-ish beers compared to this.

Speaker 2:

Heavily brewed sour Nectar on.

Speaker 1:

Wallpaper probably is one of the ones that made a couple of our tops.

Speaker 2:

It made mine wallpaper probably is one of the ones that, like I think it's made a couple of our tops. It may be mine for sure, but like the ones that made a ha-ha imprint.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, that to me it was a pilsen, but it was still so hoppy and like it really just couldn't finish Like. I still think about that one, so, and that was our one. I think that was our first hit of Necron hops. Probably At least I learned it on their own.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Especially in a pilsner, where those hops can really shine. But we are not starting with imprint, no, we are starting with ocean water. Ocean water, water ice. Source brewing 7.5% Source brewing All right, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm trying to find this.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. Let's get it. We're here work. Yeah, we're here Do something. Ooh, what in the hell? Right, yeah After our what. The yeah after our what. I really should pay more attention before we do these things, to know what's going on yeah somebody should post them on like a discord and have everything. There's no episode 44. It was a little bit chaotic because we've done so many edits.

Speaker 2:

It's a mess yeah, so I was a little, so I tried.

Speaker 1:

I was kind of telling you so I was a little, so I tried. I was kind of telling you guys I was a little mad, we didn't. I didn't do this one for St Patrick's.

Speaker 2:

Day yeah, because.

Speaker 1:

I didn't expect it to be this green, but then I no, but it poured blue. Yeah, it did pour blue, and then it's now green. Like the original pour was blue the foam has kind of a blueish tint to it.

Speaker 1:

Okay so Source Brewing out of Colts Neck, new Jersey. So they have two different tap rooms. One is a farm their farmhouse style tap room, and the other one is their urban. This is from the urban one. This is water or something around there Ocean water, water, ice. It's inspired by Italian ice. And the other one is the urban. This is from the urban one. This is water, something or other Ocean water, water, ice. It's inspired by Italian ice and the nostalgic flavors of blue raspberry.

Speaker 1:

They started with basic pills during wheat malts and then fermented with a special lactic acid, produced yeast just went into the zippy tang and then blue raspberry flavoring and a touch of simple syrup, so it tastes like a freaking snow cone. So they really they do talk about it being like blue flavor, but like I don't know if it's the lighting in here, but like it's definitely green. How old is the can? Did it go bad? No, everyone on Untap, all the pours on Untappd, were that kind of green. So I was a little mad. This could have been a good St Patrick's Day. I was going off the can.

Speaker 2:

This is like somebody made green beer yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, every pour is green. You're right, jolly Rancher and Kool-Aid flavoring. Is that what they said In the tasting notes? Candied sweetness oh yeah, tartness. Blue raspberry tie-in ice, raspberry heart candies, berry Fanta and Kool-Aid jammers what the it's 7.5%. That's the one thing that I saw that stuck out to me from the list. That's a boozy sour. I'm feeling the 7.5. You can feel it kind of in the background. It's a sour in name.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, and so some of it is like it does make sense of like they. Well, it's like the smoothie beers. Those ones are categorized as sours, right? So it's just got to be to me about the style, maybe not necessarily the actual. You've got to categorize it as sour.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but it fits in somewhere because yeah, oh God, that smells sweet. There's nowhere else I'm putting that other than a sour. It does smell like a melted down snow cone. I'd call it like an autopop. Yeah, it's the juice at the bottom of an autopop, oh, but a little more in line with those Bud Light versions of them that they tried a few years ago.

Speaker 2:

Because you got that little hint of booze. There is almost that little hint of booze.

Speaker 1:

There is almost a little bit of booziness to it which is kind of like shocking With how sweet everything is up front Sweet and tart and all that stuff yeah it's interesting. I don't love the aftertaste. I'm not sure what it is. It's a Kool-Aid-y, chemical-ish aftertaste. I'm not sure what it is. It's a Kool-Aid-y chemical ish aftertaste.

Speaker 1:

I would. Maybe that it's the tartness. I think that's in there too. Like that's where I'm getting any bit of like the sourness. It's like a funky tart that I don't. So I don't. I just don't love that tartness. Maybe I would pour this over ice as I sip Bullseye, I think that would. I would pour this over ice and have it as a snow cone. Yeah, because I think a little bit of that ice melt would take some of that back in. Was there somebody?

Speaker 1:

who was doing beer slushies, probably, I mean, but like at the no, like the craft, like where you could do like. I've had Micheladas before. Yeah, this beer over a shaped ice with some. This is Bloody Mary mix or something. It's interesting. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, it's different. This is a. We had the Sour Patch kid. This is. This feels like an entirely different vein than the Sour Patch kid. Yes, it doesn't have as much of that sweetness. It's so sweet, but enough of it. The aroma is sweet. The flavor doesn't hit me as sweet. It's fairly dry with what you smell it here, and I'm expecting it to be less dry than it is. If your ocean water looks like this, though, do not go in. Did I ever tell you there was a?

Speaker 2:

time where.

Speaker 1:

It's very thinned out. It actually goes a little more towards blue. When you almost finish your glass, you're looking at the very bottom of it. Yeah, it's almost blue. Um, there was a time where we were at Hell. Yeah, do it more. Oh yeah, cams and See if it looks blue. There was something in the water and we're like swimming around doing stuff.

Speaker 1:

Oh, the algae blooms and stuff the algae blooms, and then finally we looked it up and we're like, oh, we should not be in order right now. Yeah, it's interesting, it is. Do they do different?

Speaker 1:

versions of this. Is this like a one? Oh man, I deleted it, I did not look. Yes, they do a ton of different versions of it. So like what is it a? It makes me wonder, like is this a how do I phrase it Like ocean water? This seems like it's not like smoochie, which that's going to be your like smoochie, and then there's 70 different smoochies. It seems like ocean water is just the one. So I'm almost wondering, like maybe it's just their different sour series and this one happens to fit under that.

Speaker 2:

So I'm trying to look.

Speaker 1:

They have 37 fruited sours. Yeah, but the biggest, the biggest thing I got off their website is they have the farmhouse style tap room and then they have the urban tap room so you can get the two different styles of beers there, so they're doing different styles of each one yes, and I think this is, um, if I remember correctly, the urban.

Speaker 1:

Okay, let me, let me double check. Uh, sour could come out of either one of them. Yeah, so ocean water is not a serious fit. Yeah, that's what I'm looking. Okay, there is a fruited sour called Christmas Cake strawberry, blackberry, chocolate, vanilla cream cheese icing. I would like to try that one, and there's also one that's titled Hawaii Five-0, so I would like to know more about that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I'm looking at so their urban tap room.

Speaker 1:

I also have one called Pog. Oh, there he goes. That could be delicious. Yeah, their urban tap room is out of Philadelphia and I'm looking at their. Oh, and then the other one ones in Jersey. What did I say? Coltsnack, coltsnack. I was going to wow you guys that I knew that. I worked really hard last night to remember some things about these breweries. Which one do they call them? The urban ones? The one in Philadelphia? Okay, I don't know where Coltsnck, new Jersey, is, but it's in New Jersey it is like Rural areas of New.

Speaker 1:

Jersey. Yes, I understand that, so I would go with that as definitely more urban than Philadelphia. Pennsylvania. So yeah, it's an actual city, not to entirely run down the list, but they have a lot of fun. You mean, like I do all the time, yeah, the actual city, not to entirely run down the list, but they have a lot of fun meter names Like I do.

Speaker 1:

All the time you guys are playing at home go check out their site. They got a bunch of fun looking stuff, but we're not One last impression of ocean water from source brewing.

Speaker 2:

Obviously, we'll fridge at the end of the day.

Speaker 1:

This would be. If this was a St Patrick's Day beer and you're drinking this, I'm going to be not mad about it. You're getting this or a dyed Bud Light right, I have a few of those, you're right. I happen to have one of these Fun story. After one of our spring training games we ended up at a bar down there. They still had a keg of Michelob Ultra that they dyed the keg. I got a green beer way after. It was still pretty good. It's not going to go bad, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I was kind of shocked that you had green beer left over a week after St Patrick's Day yeah, it was. Michelob Ultra. Nobody I would like. I would like a healthy green beer. You gotta stay hydrated after a long day of drinking green beer.

Speaker 2:

I'm not judging you.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying, if you're going off St Patrick's Day, oh yeah I, oh yeah, it's Arizona, it's hot. Mic ultra is not necessarily the first thing that comes to mind. I guess I've never really thought about the process of it. How are you dyeing it in the tank? You just open it up, throw it into food coloring, fuck that kind of thing. You just killed all the carbonation.

Speaker 2:

You took it out of the CO2.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you're force carving it anyways in a cake system.

Speaker 1:

I yeah, I guess so, yeah, you're force carving it anyways. I have no idea how it works either Magic. I feel like it would make a hot, hot mess, which is why you probably still have it. Okay, the place I was drinking at.

Speaker 2:

It was sweaty and dank and I'm sure it was a hot fucking mess.

Speaker 1:

So it fits. I watched some people at a German bar trying to see how they best could blend green stuff into it the day before. St Patrick's Day. What were they using to blend in? They were using food coloring stuff. They were doing it by the glass, basically, of the different styles they were basically looking to be like. Don't put it in the dark stuff, it just makes it look like poop. Yeah, but you can put it in there.

Speaker 1:

I was like I don't know that someone's coming to a German bar looking for green beer. No, does German bar get much? Traffic on St Patrick's Day, I don't know, I mean the beer hall, I think just people going out, not necessarily like Because everything else is jam-packed, so oh God, the one main like European-style bar in Tacoma was opening at like 6, and you had to like be in line and be there to get like shirts to be set for tables and everything.

Speaker 1:

It was like a whole. Did they have? Yeah, no, their only defense, or like like what also kind of makes sense, is they're also like the. European soccer football bar. Oh okay, so the people are probably already kind of conditioned to show up early to do that sort of thing, and so they probably open for that.

Speaker 1:

Well, it was a Saturday. No, it was a Sunday. Oh it a Saturday. It was Sunday morning. This year, thank you, leap Year robbed us of a Saturday because of Leap Year, so we went Friday to Sunday instead of a nice Saturday, st Patrick's Day.

Speaker 1:

I don't even remember what I did, though, nothing. I think I watched a race and I barbecued. Oh, we cut down some trees. Nice, your parents' house, my brother's house. Yeah, did you burn them? They did end up getting burned. Nice, yep, not on property. But Are you parents' house? Yeah, my parents' house. Yeah, out where the rules don't matter. Yeah, we're not in Birdman yet we've put a lot of weird stuff on fire at your parents house. Yeah, this tree is not weird. No, no, no, no, what are we doing? Yeah, help somebody move, cut down trees. My son supervised, they had to supervise. And at one point he's like yeah, help somebody move, cut down trees. My son supervised, he had to supervise. And at one point he's like why is the oldest person here, the one using the chainsaw? That's my small seven-year-old father cutting down trees. That's what me and my brother cowered with. Oh, you realize you're bleeding. Not that bad, I mean for that generation. Have they really done a project if they didn't cut themselves?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, something Did you prove you actually did work.

Speaker 1:

Right, that was like the pre-Instagram or whatnot, like. Oh hey, I'm out working. It's really hard in the yard. No, it was you. Show up to work, jesus. What happened to your arm? Play with it off Chainsaw, all right. Did you look up smoochies, squid, ink, so you can talk about it for a second? There are many smoochies, but this one is mine. No squid or ink, I have them. Did you give it a roll, a re-roll?

Speaker 1:

I aggressively re-rolled it it says on the can that fruit cheese is very heavy. Give it a gentle roll. There's a lot of squid. I was going to say there's a lot of Do you want me to read the little thing they're saying about it before the one and a half seven seconds. Latest smoothie sour made with raspberry poison berry. And is that blue cookie ice cream? That's a thing, Blue cookie ice cream. Yeah, must be In the summer To turn this one a very, very dark blue that looks purple.

Speaker 1:

There's a lot One is purple, except for a very, very dark blue that looks purple. That is, oh dear God, there's a lot. One is purple, except for a very, very dark blue. Let's get the next pour on here too. Please wear dark clothing when drinking this one. Oh wonderful, I'm wearing black shirt, I'm good.

Speaker 2:

Dude.

Speaker 1:

Give it a quarter turn so it goes out the side of the mouth. Yeah, there you go. Oh yeah, let's get all three of them. I didn't know that this was Weird Beer Day. Every day I know Weird Beer Day, oh yeah, okay, all right, the color almost matches the cam On the side, not the front. Did you say ABV on this? I did not, but I can. It is a healthy 6.5, that's not bad.

Speaker 2:

That's one thing I'll say.

Speaker 1:

The ABV beers have never been that, and this color tracks with what I saw.

Speaker 2:

So it's kind of modeled.

Speaker 1:

Variation. Look at our beers today. Get right up in the camera. Do that Glorious 4K Beers in airports.

Speaker 1:

I mean yeah, we've done imprint. I don't know how I didn't get to their website the last time Maybe that was a. I think we're sticking in the same neighborhood because they are also from Pennsylvania, so we're in the same general area as the last one. Okay, I mean, I liked both their other ones, so I'm not mad about it. But the swimming and ultra creamy berry blasted cookie-licious goodness and some dark chocolate and a slight tanginess in the super thick body make for a complex dessert beer that you'll want to drink before dinner. Yeah, can you hand me the? Can you want? Oh Jesus.

Speaker 1:

Thank you Holy Okay. So this is what Sir Nick Sloan was talking about when he said he wanted it thick and juicy. Baby got back. Yeah, there's definitely Okay. So it's starting to like separate a little bit, baby got back but baby ain't got none of these though.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I'm getting a separation on here. Somebody needs to start drinking. Get all up in it. Mmm, that is thick. Okay, let me pick. Throw that. It's very good. It's very good. I'm mad at you. The problem is, these are the dregs left that you're not supposed to drink. Yeah, probably that is tasty. I mean, it's very that one is like more blueberry right. Raspberry boysenberry and blue cookie ice cream. It feels like you should have the raspberry seeds. Yeah, this feels like yeah. When I was in my smoothie phase yes, this feels like a smoothie just came right out of the blender Top of a smoothie. Beer phase, no, From one to the other.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, you just pour a pound of fruit into a blender, mix it with a little ice and you think it's healthy. You're getting like a thousand calories, yeah, and all sugar, yeah, but there's fiber in it. No, totally like if they left the seeds in it. I think that would just push it over the top.

Speaker 2:

oh, you're separated a lot yeah, if you might, might start to separate too that's your second class, though it's a small class having a big day.

Speaker 1:

I just got back from stream training. I'm in fighting shape here, yeah well, the social moderate not a lot of nose to it. No, I don't think the aerobic can escape the thickness. Yeah, it does. It tastes like a fruit smoothie. Yeah, I don't know where the blue cookie comes from. I don't know. I've never had blue cookie ice cream, though no.

Speaker 2:

You just told me, you got it every summer.

Speaker 1:

The kids do. It's down at the well, it used to. It's down at the Huckle's. Oh yeah, they have blue creepy ice cream, so they'd get it and they'd get it all over their shirts. So, yes, you should wear dark colored clothing if you're going to eat this or drink. Eat natural, yeah, eat ice cream. Or drink this beer Um, I get, I get a shot of creaminess at the end and I think that's the ice cream coming through. There's so much fruit flavor in it. It's just a little bit of tang. It's a little zing, but not like the last one. It's very different from that A little effervescent. The back end.

Speaker 2:

What does that?

Speaker 1:

even mean I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes I just say words without thinking about it, I can get it. I said Sometimes I just say words without thinking about it. No, I can get it and that's kind of what I said. Tang, you said effervescent, yeah, it's kind of like. It's clean, sparkly Like. Yeah, yeah, feel in the back of the Like. It's not. It's not Like for something that says cookie Like. We've had some big beers and I just felt my mouth coated after it. A 16-ounce still might be a lot, chad. We were going for a 16-ounce. You put that in like a milkshake glass with a straw, a little bit of whipping cream on top. I wonder how it burns. I think I have an extra can in the garage for shenanigans later on. This might be actually a good check For what?

Speaker 1:

A little heat in it A little heat up the torch, oh dear Lord, I don't know that that's a good idea. A little heat in it, oh dear Lord, I don't know that that's a good idea. None of what we're doing is a good idea.

Speaker 1:

Is any of this a good idea? Ryan, come on, how long have you known us? How many of our ideas are good ideas? It's been a long time. Unfortunately, I don't know what I was thinking. This is a long list of terrible ideas that worked out. That we call friendship. Worked out, for the most part, friendship. We didn't steal a bass. Fuck, we should have stolen that bass. You weren't even there. I'm so mad. It was one of the biggest regrets. I wasn't even there. I have machinations, I have plans. I've got a couple of wires in the fire. I can't even see my glasses empty because it's still coated. Yeah, it's got stuff. Contemplation, that's really fucking good. Alright, fridge these. I'm going to take a pass on one, yep, and the other is it's a novelty beer. I mean, both of them are novelty beers. Both of them are novelty to a point. I just put it in with the damn rotation of smoothie beers, like it'll make it cycle through, like I'm not keeping multiple cases of smoothie beers. No, excuse me, but this is a smoothie beer shelf.

Speaker 2:

Yes, not even a full shelf, or maybe the door, the door like a full shelf, or maybe the door, the door, the door, like the thing across the front of the door. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

You have space for three or four of them. Yeah, like that's where I put it in there. I rotate them through, so I will try other like I've seen other Smoochie ones, I will try them. I would try them, but it's just going into that smoothie beer rotation and it's still. I've had a couple in my fridge and it's like I definitely like I enjoy them, but it definitely still feels like there needs to be a time and place for a certain. This isn't the finished working in the yard or getting home from working a Friday and just need to crack a cold one type beer. This is it really like. It really just feel like warring bears to me. But also I thought about like we sit down and watch a movie where it's like you're having one and it's kind of like the treat of something for that. That's kind of the way I can see it. The ocean water is interesting. It's funky, it's weird.

Speaker 1:

That lingering tartness just did hit me kind of weird.

Speaker 2:

I like the smell.

Speaker 1:

It's got a lot of good aroma and something, but it just didn't hit the spot for me. So that's on that one. I think I'm similar. As far as smoothie beers go, this is fantastic. We're actually up there amongst smoothie beers. We haven't had a bad smoothie beer yet. We had a couple that kind of claimed smoothie. I think that were yeah. We also had some smoothies where we didn't roll them.

Speaker 1:

We didn't get the full experience. We rolled the shit out of that. It still wasn't enough. You'll see the pours from reading up the. You'll probably see them on the ground before you see them on the YouTubes. Very intrigued. Did we talk about their Narcadium? No, so the brewery taproom with cantina and restroom arcade. So they have basically it's a bar with an arcade all free to play. So go in, grab beers, play video games. My son still talks about the one pinball machine that was broken and just kept letting it play. It's like the greatest day ever for him.

Speaker 1:

Because usually I'm like man, I don't have freaking quarters. I haven't seen pictures of it, but that's kind of cool. I'll grab a bite of this there. Hang out, I will grab a scooter of it, ocean water. Grab a scooter of it and the ocean water. I think if you messed with it, you could come up with some creative stuff about it. We talked about burning beers and doing things like that that poured over ice. I don't know, I don't even know. Oh God, no, I wouldn't have burned this beer Poured over like ice. When I'm part of this beer Pour over like ice into a snow cone Could be real good. Freeze it in a thin plastic tube and eat it like a yeah, something like that. Maybe by itself, it's, it's fine.

Speaker 2:

yeah, and I have a half pint in my belly already.
