WEBVTT 00:00:08.587 --> 00:00:10.727 Oh, yeah, boy. 00:00:10.927 --> 00:00:12.007 We're back, baby. 00:00:12.907 --> 00:00:13.787 We're back. 00:00:14.307 --> 00:00:16.107 What is it? April 18th? 00:00:16.227 --> 00:00:20.387 Yeah. 18th. 2025. And this is episode 426. 00:00:21.747 --> 00:00:29.067 So, yeah, I mean, like, you'll probably be hearing this. I don't know. Oh, you can't even. 00:00:29.447 --> 00:00:32.507 By the way, we're episode 526, not 426. 00:00:33.287 --> 00:00:34.267 We got to do the whole thing up. 00:00:35.267 --> 00:00:39.827 It's all right. Yo, since April 26th, you'll probably be hearing this, what, October? 00:00:41.107 --> 00:00:44.107 I've made a New Year's resolution to not suck so bad. 00:00:44.627 --> 00:00:45.247 We'll see. 00:00:46.147 --> 00:00:50.127 I got it back in the saddle. I just did two of them. 00:00:50.347 --> 00:00:55.347 You know, I just realized we missed April Fool's Day. We were going to do it 00:00:55.347 --> 00:00:58.107 for April Fool's Day. It was posted on April Fool's Day. We weren't even around. 00:00:58.267 --> 00:01:01.167 It was posted on April Fool's Day, so it kind of made the joke. 00:01:01.407 --> 00:01:02.027 April Fool's! 00:01:02.147 --> 00:01:02.427 Yeah. 00:01:02.687 --> 00:01:06.827 It's not episode 426. It's episode 526. 00:01:07.367 --> 00:01:09.667 I posted one of the old April Fool's shows on the Discord. 00:01:10.067 --> 00:01:15.887 Oh, I missed that. Sorry. I haven't been on there lately. Too many apps. Too many things to do. 00:01:15.947 --> 00:01:18.447 They're talking about ass pennies on the Discord, too. 00:01:18.787 --> 00:01:19.167 Oh, really? 00:01:19.507 --> 00:01:21.867 Oh, I missed it. I got to go back and read everything. 00:01:21.947 --> 00:01:23.107 What a great story. 00:01:23.187 --> 00:01:28.667 Oh, I love ass pennies. Boy, do I have an ass penny story, but I'm going to keep it to myself. 00:01:29.067 --> 00:01:29.507 Okay. 00:01:31.827 --> 00:01:36.587 All right. Our first beer of the evening is from Greg. He brought to the... 00:01:36.587 --> 00:01:38.767 It's not from me. It's from Hopfarm. I just happened to bring it. 00:01:38.847 --> 00:01:41.887 It's from you. It wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. Brought to you by... 00:01:41.887 --> 00:01:44.427 You are the sole reason this beer is here tonight. 00:01:44.787 --> 00:01:50.447 You deserve all the credit. This is the Elegons Kolsch from Hopfarm Brewing Company. 00:01:50.887 --> 00:01:55.247 4.8%, basically very classic Kolsch. That's the idea anyway. 00:01:55.927 --> 00:02:00.167 Hopfarm is the brewery around here who has the best yeast as far as I'm concerned. 00:02:00.327 --> 00:02:06.747 I have some floating on the top. something floating on the top of mine. 00:02:06.987 --> 00:02:07.427 You see it? 00:02:07.667 --> 00:02:09.647 I just see the foam. I don't see it. 00:02:09.967 --> 00:02:11.867 No, no, no, no, no. 00:02:12.327 --> 00:02:13.407 I don't see it. 00:02:13.907 --> 00:02:14.567 Look up. 00:02:15.467 --> 00:02:17.387 You got a little chunk of something, yeah. 00:02:18.667 --> 00:02:22.307 This is chunky. It's a chunky, chunky monkey. 00:02:23.527 --> 00:02:27.067 Or maybe it's starting to split now, so I think. 00:02:27.367 --> 00:02:28.887 Just a foam shadow. 00:02:29.267 --> 00:02:31.587 Yeah, that is so weird, that really. 00:02:31.587 --> 00:02:32.507 Wow, that's just a shadow. 00:02:32.527 --> 00:02:34.487 And I'm not even on drugs or anything. 00:02:34.687 --> 00:02:35.147 Everyone's going to think we're like super high. 00:02:35.247 --> 00:02:37.407 No, no, not at all. Haven't even. 00:02:37.587 --> 00:02:43.187 All right. So this colch, the color of it is golden. It's not as clear as a 00:02:43.187 --> 00:02:45.527 traditional colch. It has a fair amount of haze through it. 00:02:46.907 --> 00:02:51.987 The head, I mean, pouring it into our beer snifters in three ways isn't, 00:02:52.127 --> 00:02:55.087 you know, they're normally poured into stanges, which are tall and narrow, 00:02:55.207 --> 00:02:58.347 which help elevate the head and keep a nice big pillowy head on it. 00:02:58.607 --> 00:03:00.687 So these glasses aren't ideal for the head retention. 00:03:01.347 --> 00:03:02.727 We probably could have found some. 00:03:02.867 --> 00:03:05.807 It's a very bready smell. Yeah, but, you know, then you have to more clean up. 00:03:05.827 --> 00:03:07.467 I know. It's... 00:03:08.751 --> 00:03:14.911 Yeah, I mean, it's funny, just was at Passover dinner, there's a very matzo-like smell. 00:03:14.911 --> 00:03:18.051 Yes, you're right. Very. 00:03:18.691 --> 00:03:21.791 Think crackers. Think unleavened bread crackers. 00:03:22.591 --> 00:03:27.771 Yeah, it's a light malt smell. The hops are very subdue in the aroma. 00:03:29.751 --> 00:03:31.411 All right. It's pretty light. 00:03:31.511 --> 00:03:33.811 There's not really much for me to pull on the aroma. 00:03:34.771 --> 00:03:35.331 Taste. 00:03:36.271 --> 00:03:41.711 Now that we just had before the show, last word, or a last word substitute, 00:03:41.931 --> 00:03:43.451 we used, what was that, Luxardo's? 00:03:43.771 --> 00:03:44.471 Del Santo. 00:03:44.711 --> 00:03:50.231 Del Santo, instead of green chartreuse, because no one can get green chartreuse anymore. 00:03:50.911 --> 00:03:54.091 And it's pretty good. I think it was a good cocktail, but it also was, 00:03:54.251 --> 00:03:56.831 I mean, you know, it's got lots of lime juice, it's got maraschino, 00:03:57.011 --> 00:04:00.271 so I think that my tummy is just sort of, this is almost very, 00:04:00.391 --> 00:04:04.151 very different from what I've been tasting, so I'm just trying to get a grasp of it. 00:04:04.151 --> 00:04:05.431 Would you like some crackers? 00:04:07.011 --> 00:04:10.591 I feel like this is liquid crackers, so it wouldn't really do much difference. 00:04:11.151 --> 00:04:19.151 Moving on to the flavor. It has that big malty flavor, clean malt flavor, 00:04:19.251 --> 00:04:20.451 right? It's not too estuary. 00:04:21.351 --> 00:04:24.491 There's some bitterness there, so the hops are carrying through in the flavor. 00:04:24.671 --> 00:04:29.471 Very noble hop-wise, where it adds a results-like kind of. 00:04:29.971 --> 00:04:35.071 The bitterness does linger. Like I would think, like when I think of a prototypical 00:04:35.071 --> 00:04:36.871 Kolsch, it's very clean finish, right? 00:04:37.371 --> 00:04:40.111 When, after you drink it, you're not left with a bitterness. 00:04:40.411 --> 00:04:41.811 This one kind of leaves a bitterness. 00:04:42.631 --> 00:04:46.431 Interesting. I'm not getting that so much. I am getting more of a malt lingering though. 00:04:47.371 --> 00:04:50.631 It's not finishing up as clean and crisp as it would have otherwise. 00:04:50.831 --> 00:04:53.291 But again, I think that might be just the way my tongue was. 00:04:53.611 --> 00:04:58.331 No, I'm getting the malt lingering too, actually. It's. 00:04:59.372 --> 00:05:03.452 It's not unappealing. It doesn't make me get, ugh. 00:05:03.872 --> 00:05:08.312 Yeah, yeah. It's not, it's perfectly drinkable, but it's not like as crisp as 00:05:08.312 --> 00:05:10.652 it could be. It's not as, you know. 00:05:10.712 --> 00:05:12.712 I like this. It's a nice, light beer. 00:05:12.792 --> 00:05:13.052 Yeah. 00:05:13.252 --> 00:05:18.752 I think this beer, as is, if you were just drinking it and not critically reviewing it. 00:05:19.292 --> 00:05:19.452 Yeah. 00:05:19.572 --> 00:05:20.292 Just something you just. 00:05:20.312 --> 00:05:21.952 Very, very easy drinker. 00:05:22.052 --> 00:05:26.812 You know, now on the show where we're comparing it to what we really, 00:05:27.012 --> 00:05:29.192 really want a Kolsch to be when it's at its best. 00:05:29.192 --> 00:05:30.152 You know. 00:05:30.152 --> 00:05:33.412 Now we're saying things but no this beer is fine this beer. 00:05:33.412 --> 00:05:36.512 I mean you can say that for a lot of beers that we've 00:05:36.512 --> 00:05:39.372 yeah occasionally you know capped on or at least said said 00:05:39.372 --> 00:05:42.392 poor things about this beer is perfectly acceptable 00:05:42.392 --> 00:05:45.092 in fact i would say i would i would go far to say 00:05:45.092 --> 00:05:49.132 it's good i would drink more of this it it 00:05:49.132 --> 00:05:52.772 has that like i said the hot farm thing i love is that yeast that sort of underneath 00:05:52.772 --> 00:05:58.352 that like 20 percent of of the foundation that's there that to me is just it's 00:05:58.352 --> 00:06:03.352 very very solid and I don't know I think I for whatever reason I really enjoy 00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:06.712 it so that helps anchor this and everything else is like, 00:06:07.752 --> 00:06:11.472 I don't so much taste all flavors just sort of excesses. 00:06:11.472 --> 00:06:13.712 Right I don't think it's, 00:06:15.008 --> 00:06:16.828 much complexity to it. 00:06:17.268 --> 00:06:21.928 It's a Kolsch, right? I mean, I would not expect a complex Kolsch. 00:06:22.208 --> 00:06:23.748 That would be weird. Yeah. 00:06:24.888 --> 00:06:26.088 Yep, clean and beer flavor. 00:06:26.148 --> 00:06:29.328 It's a good summer drink. It's a really good summer drink. Very much so, yeah. 00:06:29.748 --> 00:06:35.708 And we're starting to hit you know, we're finally out of the 30s and 40s until tomorrow. 00:06:36.088 --> 00:06:39.128 I don't know, but yesterday it was like 30 and now it's 80. 00:06:39.128 --> 00:06:44.348 Yeah, I think, or at least according to Carrot, which is the app that you all should get for weather. 00:06:45.028 --> 00:06:47.908 It was 81 degrees here today Yeah. 00:06:48.008 --> 00:06:57.368 Yeah And sunny And the lowest we're going to get For the next two weeks Is like tonight at 44 Time to. 00:06:57.368 --> 00:07:01.468 Take the Stuff off the windows So we can open up the house. 00:07:01.468 --> 00:07:08.688 And we're creeping into the 50s And later on two weeks into the 60s So I think 00:07:08.688 --> 00:07:15.248 we're out of We're finally in April Mid-April out of the 30th. Yeah. 00:07:15.708 --> 00:07:19.608 It was, so Shannon and I were on a long trip. 00:07:19.888 --> 00:07:27.908 We left here on February 21st, 22nd, something like that. There was snow on the ground. 00:07:28.408 --> 00:07:29.428 It was snowing. 00:07:29.708 --> 00:07:35.508 The camper cover was frozen to the camper. I had to pour hot water on it to get it off. 00:07:36.428 --> 00:07:40.168 And then we went to Atlanta for work bench con and we took our time getting 00:07:40.168 --> 00:07:43.048 down there. We spent probably four or five days to get down there. 00:07:43.048 --> 00:07:44.328 Yeah, we spent five days. 00:07:44.508 --> 00:07:47.628 And then we went to visit her family in Florida. 00:07:48.108 --> 00:07:51.968 We spent like three days on the road before we got down there too. 00:07:52.168 --> 00:07:56.008 Right? Yeah, we just took our time all over. We were gone for... 00:07:56.008 --> 00:08:01.548 Five weeks and one day. We were three days shy of 40 days and 40 nights. 00:08:02.608 --> 00:08:07.328 Which I was really wanting to do the 40 days and 40 nights simply so we could 00:08:07.328 --> 00:08:08.648 say we were... So you did it. 00:08:08.728 --> 00:08:08.808 Yeah. 00:08:08.828 --> 00:08:10.128 Yeah, 40. But... 00:08:10.128 --> 00:08:12.668 Actually two days shy because we did cancel the last night. 00:08:13.588 --> 00:08:14.988 Which made it three days shy. 00:08:16.048 --> 00:08:18.328 Because we would have been two days shy, but we canceled. 00:08:18.368 --> 00:08:19.508 You just said one day shy. 00:08:19.828 --> 00:08:24.088 No, I said three days shy. But anyways, so. 00:08:24.468 --> 00:08:25.128 Close enough. 00:08:25.608 --> 00:08:31.948 Yeah, we were close. Couldn't take it anymore, though. By the time we got to the last stop. 00:08:32.128 --> 00:08:33.148 Get me home. Give me my bed. 00:08:33.148 --> 00:08:39.428 I was like, we're only 63 miles from home. I just want to get home and start unpacking. So, yeah. 00:08:40.028 --> 00:08:45.968 Well, I messaged you, I think, halfway through. I was like, you guys are going to be missing. 00:08:46.108 --> 00:08:50.048 I was like, hey, let's do something. You're like, no, not until April. 00:08:50.368 --> 00:08:52.408 April. I was like, damn, damn. 00:08:52.808 --> 00:08:54.828 That was like mid-febillion, middle of February. 00:08:56.088 --> 00:08:57.988 Or March. In March, maybe? 00:08:58.088 --> 00:08:58.668 Yeah, probably. 00:08:59.408 --> 00:09:01.548 It was probably when this thing happened at work. 00:09:01.608 --> 00:09:01.948 Yeah, yeah. 00:09:01.968 --> 00:09:03.988 I wanted to be like, hey, let's go. 00:09:04.208 --> 00:09:07.068 So we thought we were gone long enough that we'd come back to spring. 00:09:07.548 --> 00:09:10.388 And it seemed like it for a little bit, but then it got cold again. 00:09:10.388 --> 00:09:11.008 And it snowed. 00:09:11.148 --> 00:09:14.448 The weather's weird.

Wow. 00:09:55.648 --> 00:09:57.888 Yeah, they do crazy shit at burial. 00:09:59.048 --> 00:10:03.428 The melange that Rachel Morris, who is the blender, the head blender they call 00:10:03.428 --> 00:10:07.488 her, selected was carrot, flaked coconut, madras, curry power, 00:10:07.668 --> 00:10:08.688 Madagascar, vanilla bean. 00:10:09.674 --> 00:10:15.414 And I guess this is with a sour that begins as a clean blonde ale fermented 00:10:15.414 --> 00:10:18.214 with house mix culture, aged in oak barrels for over a year. 00:10:18.834 --> 00:10:21.674 So they have their own like souring program. 00:10:23.834 --> 00:10:24.834 That's a... 00:10:24.834 --> 00:10:28.354 I think it's curry is like the weird thing on the nose, right? 00:10:28.454 --> 00:10:32.014 The curry is the curveball. 00:10:33.294 --> 00:10:37.494 What I'm smelling if I wasn't trying to if I didn't know it was in there I would 00:10:37.494 --> 00:10:41.634 say like lime like lime peel or lime zest or something like that I. 00:10:41.634 --> 00:10:45.534 Think that's a good call I don't think you'd be able to kick curry at us like 00:10:45.534 --> 00:10:50.034 that's why it's a total curveball but like you can see where it's causing. 00:10:50.034 --> 00:10:54.254 The I would think that's weird lime like the maybe it's black lime you know 00:10:54.254 --> 00:10:56.154 like you know I would try to be fishing around oh that'd be a good. 00:10:56.154 --> 00:10:58.294 One yeah or preserved lemon. 00:11:00.114 --> 00:11:06.654 There's the kind of funk in there is probably a lactic funk and it is coming 00:11:06.654 --> 00:11:10.814 across a little i i don't want to say this because shannon probably not going 00:11:10.814 --> 00:11:14.014 to want to drink it but it's a little curdled cheesy thing and like the nose. 00:11:14.014 --> 00:11:15.814 See i'm thinking jam. 00:11:15.814 --> 00:11:17.394 I very. 00:11:17.394 --> 00:11:18.634 Yogurt thing going on there. 00:11:19.334 --> 00:11:23.074 There's clearly a lactic thing but there's also some i think there's also some 00:11:23.074 --> 00:11:25.214 citric acid in there so like that there. 00:11:25.214 --> 00:11:27.934 There's a combination of things that you'll like there 00:11:27.934 --> 00:11:31.014 okay um it tastes 00:11:31.014 --> 00:11:33.834 like that lime's carrying through now now i'm thinking like this 00:11:33.834 --> 00:11:40.834 is like a key lime pie is absolutely no i'm screaming it in my head the lime 00:11:40.834 --> 00:11:44.394 vibe is carrying through now it tastes like like a key lime pie like i'm tasting 00:11:44.394 --> 00:11:49.994 like the graham cracker crust i'm tasting the the whipped cream like that that's 00:11:49.994 --> 00:11:52.834 where this is taking me even though that's not this beer i. 00:11:52.834 --> 00:11:56.634 Tell you the really smart thing here. The thing that I'm tasting all the way 00:11:56.634 --> 00:11:59.774 through and the thing that kind of balances it is the vanilla. 00:12:00.294 --> 00:12:05.814 Yeah. That kind of, it's steady and it kind of, it just gives sort of a, 00:12:05.874 --> 00:12:09.314 I don't know, a lifeline for all the ingredients to sort of attach to. Yeah. 00:12:10.324 --> 00:12:11.804 Can you pick out carrot at all? 00:12:12.004 --> 00:12:14.984 Not one bit. Not even a little. 00:12:15.904 --> 00:12:20.504 Only in the sense of, you know, it probably added some sugar. 00:12:21.364 --> 00:12:24.624 You know what? Maybe. See, I'm not getting carrot. What I'm getting, 00:12:24.804 --> 00:12:30.304 if I look for carrot, is the Indian dessert that's shredded carrots with cardamom. 00:12:30.544 --> 00:12:33.384 Right, yeah. But I think that's more the curry that you're tasting. 00:12:33.624 --> 00:12:39.624 Yeah, but what I'm getting from that is more closely related to cardamom than the carrots, you know? 00:12:39.864 --> 00:12:45.284 Mm-hmm. Yeah, I mean, like, cooked carrot doesn't taste like a raw carrot anyway. 00:12:45.604 --> 00:12:49.284 In general, carrots are used mostly for their sugar more than anything else. 00:12:49.644 --> 00:12:54.824 So I figured that it added some sweetness and maybe a vegetal note. 00:12:55.564 --> 00:12:58.444 But, yeah, I'm not, I wouldn't be able to pick out a carrot at all. 00:12:58.444 --> 00:12:59.904 And coconut's pretty subdued, too. 00:13:00.464 --> 00:13:05.904 I think it's there if you really, really look for it, but I think I also could just be making that up. 00:13:05.904 --> 00:13:10.004 I really think that you called it right from the very beginning, 00:13:10.024 --> 00:13:13.124 and that's key lime pie. I mean, that's what I taste. 00:13:13.124 --> 00:13:15.124 That's what it tastes like to me, but that's not what's in the ingredients. 00:13:15.124 --> 00:13:20.584 I know, but that's what I taste. It's screaming key lime pie that has a really 00:13:20.584 --> 00:13:23.924 delicious cream topping. 00:13:23.984 --> 00:13:25.944 Yeah, it reminds me of— Topping. 00:13:26.104 --> 00:13:27.364 Like very, very—. 00:13:27.364 --> 00:13:31.944 We had a key lime beer from Woven Water, and it reminds me of that. 00:13:32.544 --> 00:13:33.844 This was better, I think. 00:13:33.844 --> 00:13:39.304 If you didn't know it was curry, you might think like a lot of nutmeg because 00:13:39.304 --> 00:13:41.704 there's sort of warming quality to it. 00:13:41.884 --> 00:13:46.744 But like, I think the curry is a really interesting dimension that is not going 00:13:46.744 --> 00:13:48.024 to be on your typical key lime pie. 00:13:48.144 --> 00:13:52.704 But it makes me want to think, well, let's get some really fresh curry powder 00:13:52.704 --> 00:13:55.124 and put it onto a key lime pie and see what that tastes like. 00:13:56.444 --> 00:13:59.944 Because it works. It's a combination of flavors. 00:14:00.184 --> 00:14:01.244 Something. Yeah. 00:14:02.464 --> 00:14:07.524 And curry is just a blend of spices right it's like turmeric and cardamom and 00:14:07.524 --> 00:14:11.584 probably some other cinnamon coriander cumin. 00:14:11.584 --> 00:14:18.704 Makes sense then because it does have even though it really to me just screams 00:14:18.704 --> 00:14:26.184 key lime pie it does have something subtle in it that just tastes like a mixture of spices. 00:14:26.384 --> 00:14:33.564 I can't pinpoint curry, you know, there's no way I, yeah. 00:14:34.004 --> 00:14:35.324 Just impossible to place. 00:14:36.705 --> 00:14:42.005 Knowing it, you can pick it out, but without knowing it, I don't know how you'd ever like comes at it. 00:14:42.145 --> 00:14:45.425 So why would you ever assume, oh, someone put curry in this beer? 00:14:45.585 --> 00:14:53.205 Yeah. Yeah. No. It's still like, oh, there's a graham cracker in this beer. It's so crazy to me. 00:14:53.205 --> 00:15:04.085 And almost like if you went to a specialty bakery and got their homemade graham 00:15:04.085 --> 00:15:06.145 cracker crust, you know, 00:15:06.405 --> 00:15:12.865 that had whatever spices that they would put in it and made the key lime pie with that. 00:15:12.925 --> 00:15:18.785 It went a little heavy on the ice face. Because the graham cracker crust, I get it. I can taste it. 00:15:18.925 --> 00:15:24.965 But it tastes like just this really delicious graham cracker crust. 00:15:25.605 --> 00:15:28.365 We've had a lot to say about this beer. This is sure something. 00:15:28.845 --> 00:15:32.065 Burial's great. We've been there three times. Three times? 00:15:32.205 --> 00:15:36.405 Three separate occasions, multiple times, I think. 00:15:36.625 --> 00:15:41.025 Yeah. It's just they have so many beers on tap. They have so many ingredients 00:15:41.025 --> 00:15:44.605 in each beer. The biggest problem is that they have, you know, 00:15:44.645 --> 00:15:46.085 they might have 30 beers on top. 00:15:46.705 --> 00:15:47.665 Decision paralysis. 00:15:48.325 --> 00:15:48.725 Yeah. 00:15:48.985 --> 00:15:50.665 12 of them are Imperial Stouts. 00:15:52.005 --> 00:15:58.625 You know? That's hard to do because having a bunch of Imperial Stouts is just... 00:15:59.205 --> 00:16:02.065 There's ones with Oreos. There's ones with, you know, cookies. 00:16:02.725 --> 00:16:06.145 It sounds like the perfect day, but you also realize that, you know, 00:16:06.505 --> 00:16:08.325 three and you're going to be like, oh my God. 00:16:08.885 --> 00:16:15.325 Exactly. And I just want to try, like, a traditional, like, Russian imperial 00:16:15.325 --> 00:16:19.265 stout made in England, like, from them just to see what it's like, 00:16:19.285 --> 00:16:22.785 but you'll never get anything close to such a boring ingredient list, you know? 00:16:25.109 --> 00:16:28.169 It's interesting because we've always talked about beers that tell a story. 00:16:28.809 --> 00:16:31.749 This beer is not telling me a story. It's just being very interesting. 00:16:32.289 --> 00:16:34.089 There's not a journey that I'm going on. 00:16:34.089 --> 00:16:37.129 No, it doesn't really progress, really. I mean, other than you getting more 00:16:37.129 --> 00:16:38.189 accustomed to the tartness. 00:16:39.109 --> 00:16:45.249 And I don't even think it's tart to me. It's not tart. It's just really flavorful. 00:16:45.689 --> 00:16:46.469 Yeah, I mean. 00:16:46.889 --> 00:16:48.369 As long as you like key lime pie. 00:16:48.529 --> 00:16:54.549 There is that. If you are against things that are sour, you won't like this. 00:16:54.549 --> 00:17:01.809 This does have, I think, a pretty strong sourness to it. Not overwhelmingly so. 00:17:02.989 --> 00:17:05.929 But getting into that Sour Patch Kids area. 00:17:06.709 --> 00:17:09.309 Yeah. It's not puckering sour. 00:17:09.489 --> 00:17:12.309 Yeah. But think about fresh lemon. 00:17:12.749 --> 00:17:14.509 Mm-hmm. Or lime. 00:17:14.709 --> 00:17:14.949 Yeah. 00:17:17.209 --> 00:17:19.289 Feels more lemony to me for some reason. 00:17:19.609 --> 00:17:22.469 Really? Yeah. I love this. 00:17:22.729 --> 00:17:24.289 It's good. It's really good. 00:17:24.709 --> 00:17:32.209 This is so unique everyone should try this. Come on, guys. If you can somehow get your hands on it. 00:17:32.429 --> 00:17:38.369 If you can get to Burial, you should definitely go. Burial and Dissolver. 00:17:39.469 --> 00:17:42.229 In Asheville. In Asheville, yes. 00:17:42.609 --> 00:17:44.749 Next time we go back, we'll have to go to the Burial Farm. 00:17:45.489 --> 00:17:46.489 Can we stay there? 00:17:47.469 --> 00:17:48.409 Not unless you ask. 00:17:48.429 --> 00:17:49.609 Can you live on the farm? 00:17:49.629 --> 00:17:51.389 No, I mean like Harvest House? 00:17:51.489 --> 00:17:52.809 No, they don't have Harvest House. 00:17:53.911 --> 00:17:54.591 Dang it. 00:17:55.131 --> 00:17:58.631 All right. So is this the dirty couch? 00:17:58.991 --> 00:18:04.371 No, we're going to save that one for later. This one's the Purpose Brewing, the Small Trekker 10. 00:18:05.191 --> 00:18:07.451 Okay. This was the one that had trouble finding. 00:18:07.991 --> 00:18:10.291 I'm still savoring this. 00:18:10.291 --> 00:18:14.211 This is another sour, so this should be interesting. This is Purpose Brewing 00:18:14.211 --> 00:18:16.451 Small Trekker number 10. 00:18:16.991 --> 00:18:22.151 In fact, on that number, there is, I think it's some 50 out of 200 something 00:18:22.151 --> 00:18:25.351 bottles. So the other, so there are other signs. 00:18:26.311 --> 00:18:27.671 50 of 156. 00:18:27.891 --> 00:18:28.051 Yeah. 00:18:28.271 --> 00:18:34.471 It was bottled on June 26, 23. So it's almost two years old. 00:18:34.611 --> 00:18:40.691 So at a 150, so that means there's potentially 155 other bottles of this, 00:18:41.311 --> 00:18:44.071 assuming that this is the only one that's ever been opened. Yeah. 00:18:44.671 --> 00:18:48.191 We had a great, so Purpose Brewing is Peter Bukart's new place, 00:18:48.291 --> 00:18:49.771 right? We decided to go solo. 00:18:50.291 --> 00:18:54.951 We stopped in there. They are a Harvest Host, but they only can do like vans, 00:18:55.251 --> 00:18:57.751 like they don't have room for a camper kind of thing. 00:18:58.431 --> 00:19:02.071 Harvest Host is, for people listening who don't know, it's the app that Chad 00:19:02.071 --> 00:19:05.851 and I use when we go camping to camp at all the breweries and wineries. 00:19:06.091 --> 00:19:12.951 Which is great because we can drink as much as we want and walk across the parking lot to our bed. 00:19:13.291 --> 00:19:17.511 Yeah, so we decided to stop in there. Peter wasn't there, but the bartender, 00:19:17.571 --> 00:19:21.991 who was their blender, she was great. Like we just hung out and talked for a 00:19:21.991 --> 00:19:22.911 while, tried everything. 00:19:23.451 --> 00:19:26.111 And I believe this is what she recommended we should bring home. 00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:31.879 Let me ask you a question. What do you do about the next day? 00:19:32.419 --> 00:19:33.999 Well, it depends. 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:34.999 When you're harvest testing? 00:19:35.059 --> 00:19:39.859 When we're harvest testing. So if it's on a weekday, on a workday. 00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:42.299 I'm more thinking about the state of your head. 00:19:42.739 --> 00:19:48.259 Oh, we're fine. We don't drink until we're like hungover and miserable the next morning. 00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:51.859 There's a big gulf between being too drunk to drive and being. 00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:57.819 I agree, but especially at our age, I feel like there's not, 00:19:57.899 --> 00:20:04.259 unless I am, like, there was a trick I did in Korea where you eat a couple energy 00:20:04.259 --> 00:20:06.459 drinks and lots of water, and you were fine. 00:20:06.539 --> 00:20:14.379 So I will admit that we have an entire bag full of doses of liquid IV. 00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:15.159 Okay, perfect. 00:20:15.159 --> 00:20:23.959 And i did mix those up and i actually did it before i went to bed i think it's an absolutely, 00:20:24.539 --> 00:20:30.499 a couple of times when i knew i had you know like yeah i probably had too much 00:20:30.499 --> 00:20:34.359 and i'm not going to feel real great in the morning i did that and there were 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:36.179 a couple of mornings but the first. 00:20:36.179 --> 00:20:36.999 Night on this trip. 00:20:36.999 --> 00:20:40.879 It was the first night we went overboard that was that was. 00:20:40.879 --> 00:20:49.639 Crazy The brewery closed at 930. We left the brewery at quarter to one. 00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:54.359 We were hanging out with the bartender and just kept on partying. 00:20:54.719 --> 00:20:58.259 Yeah, she was great. She was, I mean, we made it worth her laugh. 00:20:58.339 --> 00:20:59.879 Those were fun nights with the next day. 00:20:59.959 --> 00:21:05.319 We tipped her very, very nicely. But it was so much fun to just hang out and 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:13.399 talk to her and, you know, get to know her. and then just drink beers and she was really she was fun. 00:21:13.399 --> 00:21:17.479 I mean did a lot of drinking in korea but never had 00:21:17.479 --> 00:21:20.299 a painful hangar maybe 00:21:20.299 --> 00:21:27.179 like the tiredness but never any pain because we every time we like we pre-gamed 00:21:27.179 --> 00:21:31.739 with with like an energy drink and lots of water and then we you know in the 00:21:31.739 --> 00:21:38.319 mid did like water too so we really yeah you know work the system well. 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:46.459 And anybody who knows me knows that i drink at least as much water. 00:21:46.459 --> 00:21:48.959 That's true you always have your water i. 00:21:48.959 --> 00:21:56.259 Always i if i leave the house without water i'll have a panic attack i always 00:21:56.259 --> 00:22:00.359 have water on me and when i'm drinking, alcohol especially, 00:22:00.819 --> 00:22:10.459 I'm drinking at least as much water as I—usually it's double the water to the alcohol intake. 00:22:10.679 --> 00:22:14.699 You'll wake up during the night a couple of times, but believe me, it's worth it. 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:17.859 Yeah. Well, my age. 00:22:18.419 --> 00:22:19.979 That's going to happen regardless. 00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:21.919 All right. 00:22:21.979 --> 00:22:27.059 So, small trekker, we learned this at our time there, it's a Flemish phrase for—. 00:22:27.546 --> 00:22:29.026 We're still on purpose, right? 00:22:29.286 --> 00:22:31.006 Nope. Oh, yes. Yes. 00:22:31.186 --> 00:22:31.426 Okay. 00:22:31.666 --> 00:22:31.906 Yes. 00:22:32.206 --> 00:22:32.626 It's called Small Trekker. 00:22:32.706 --> 00:22:33.786 But this is the Small Trekker. 00:22:33.786 --> 00:22:34.466 Oh, I'm sorry. 00:22:35.146 --> 00:22:40.566 It's a Plemish phrase for kind of the, when you make a face. 00:22:40.726 --> 00:22:45.586 Like, so if you drink a sour beer and make a face, it's kind of what it's for. Oh. What it stands for. 00:22:45.926 --> 00:22:46.626 It's so sour. 00:22:46.626 --> 00:22:52.206 I think there's a more nuanced, like, in more words, you can describe exactly 00:22:52.206 --> 00:22:54.126 what it means, but the vagueness is. 00:22:54.126 --> 00:22:59.206 like when you're maybe not puckering, but like, oh, or, you know, 00:22:59.406 --> 00:23:01.786 but some kind of introspection phase kind of thing. 00:23:02.046 --> 00:23:08.026 It's, it's having a tough time comparing to the last one because it's kind of 00:23:08.026 --> 00:23:12.826 like the last one, but with some similar flavors, but just not nearly as complex. 00:23:13.086 --> 00:23:15.906 But that's just, and that's not to say that it's bad. It's just, 00:23:16.046 --> 00:23:19.646 it's running against something. It's trying something way different and out there. 00:23:19.866 --> 00:23:24.566 Yeah. Drink a bunch of water. The aroma for me is probably like apricot or maybe 00:23:24.566 --> 00:23:28.386 like candy peach rings or something like that. But it's very subtle. 00:23:28.566 --> 00:23:31.246 Like I had really had to dig deep in the glass to get that aroma. 00:23:31.426 --> 00:23:34.766 I haven't tasted it yet. I'm just, you know, sniffing it. 00:23:34.926 --> 00:23:41.846 And if you didn't tell me it was purpose, I would have sworn that you just handed 00:23:41.846 --> 00:23:44.186 me a beer from Hill Farmstead. 00:23:44.846 --> 00:23:45.766 Just from the aroma? 00:23:46.746 --> 00:23:50.606 Just from the aroma. Just because it's a very subtle. 00:23:51.006 --> 00:23:53.726 Oh, just because they do a lot of subtle sours and things? 00:23:53.986 --> 00:23:54.006 Yeah. 00:23:54.006 --> 00:23:57.746 That makes sense. I mean, from experience you've had, yeah. You're not wrong. 00:23:57.886 --> 00:23:59.726 I mean, when you move on to taste this. 00:24:00.126 --> 00:24:02.646 Yeah, I have not tasted this yet. 00:24:02.686 --> 00:24:07.506 As long as you get off the ledge of the burial. I think there's some really good stuff in here. 00:24:08.206 --> 00:24:09.486 Well, I drank a lot of water. 00:24:09.646 --> 00:24:16.566 It's, you know, burial was 11. This one's at a six or a five and a half, you know, in volume. 00:24:17.566 --> 00:24:22.786 But if you can get into there, I mean, it feels like it has that apricot kind 00:24:22.786 --> 00:24:25.006 of sourness. I have to take another sip. 00:24:25.326 --> 00:24:26.866
