Ep 114 - Beyond the Label: What Happens When You Drink Outside Your Comfort Zone?

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) What happens when craft beer enthusiasts dive into mystery brews from across America? This episode takes you on a flavorful journey as Mike and his brother Brian, an experienced homebrewer, sample eight diverse beers from a Beer of the Month Club subscription. The brothers work their way through a carefully arranged tasting flight, starting with lighter options like the Hardywood Pils—a traditional German-style lager brewed according to the historic Reinheitsgebot purity law of 1516. Their expert commentary reveals how this centuries-old brewing approach continues to create clean, refreshing beers worthy of modern appreciation. As they progress through the lineup, unexpected favorites emerge. The Sierra Blanca Outlaw Lager from New Mexico surprises with its rich caramel profile and balanced finish, while certain offerings from Bent River Brewery prompt thought-provoking discussions about flavor expectations versus reality. When breweries claim exotic hop flavors like strawberry and honeydew melon that don't materialize in the glass, it raises important questions about marketing integrity in craft beer. The tasting culminates with River Horse's Oatmeal Milk Stout, unanimously crowned the winner with its velvety texture and complex malt character. Throughout the episode, Mike and Brian share valuable insights about brewing techniques, beer styles, and the challenges of introducing craft beer to newcomers—including hilarious stories of Coors Light drinkers finding even mild craft offerings "too strong." Whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or just beginning to explore beyond mainstream options, this episode offers a perfect blend of education and entertainment. Listen in, and you might discover your next favorite beer—or at least learn which flavors to be skeptical about when reading those ambitious beer descriptions!
