WEBVTT 00:00:08.845 --> 00:00:13.605 Craft Beer Radio, episode 528, July 26, 2025. 00:00:19.045 --> 00:00:24.465 R.I.P. Russian Power King. Go for it, Asi. 00:00:25.645 --> 00:00:26.245 Hi. 00:00:26.425 --> 00:00:27.845 Hi, everybody. Hi. 00:00:28.145 --> 00:00:29.545 Hi, I'm Shannon. 00:00:30.765 --> 00:00:31.585 I'm Jeff. 00:00:35.605 --> 00:00:37.705 We're going to do a show tonight. 00:00:37.705 --> 00:00:39.085 We're going to do a show. 00:00:39.425 --> 00:00:41.785 Let's start with one of these lagers. Let's start with your lager, 00:00:41.825 --> 00:00:43.525 since it's the lageriest of the lagers. 00:00:44.625 --> 00:00:45.065 Lageriest. 00:00:45.785 --> 00:00:51.305 The lageriest of the lagers. So this is something that I picked up just literally about an hour ago. 00:00:51.905 --> 00:00:58.825 This is from Four Points Brewing. It's a Bohemian Pilsner, 4.2% Alkabai volume. 00:00:59.045 --> 00:01:02.165 Something nice and simple to start with. 00:01:02.405 --> 00:01:04.425 Yeah, we're not going to get trashed tonight. 00:01:04.925 --> 00:01:06.125 Well, I mean, who knows? 00:01:06.125 --> 00:01:06.725 The night is young. 00:01:06.725 --> 00:01:07.925 The night is still young. 00:01:10.025 --> 00:01:15.345 All right. So while this beer is in the glasses, things have been going on. 00:01:15.945 --> 00:01:19.525 Shannon and I got the new house. So we've been working over there, getting it ready. 00:01:20.705 --> 00:01:24.025 Refinishing hardwood floors. I painted three bedrooms today. 00:01:24.685 --> 00:01:25.985 And I mowed. 00:01:26.165 --> 00:01:26.845 The yard. 00:01:27.185 --> 00:01:27.565 More. 00:01:27.665 --> 00:01:31.725 If there was one thing that was like, oh, did we fuck up? It's the yard. 00:01:32.205 --> 00:01:34.845 There's a lot of yard. It's very steep yard. 00:01:34.845 --> 00:01:35.885 You have a... 00:01:35.885 --> 00:01:37.085 Steep. Too steep. 00:01:37.285 --> 00:01:37.945 Can't do it. 00:01:38.425 --> 00:01:39.265 Oh, wow. 00:01:39.605 --> 00:01:42.545 Yeah. Like, it's almost too... Some of it's too steep for a push mower. 00:01:43.545 --> 00:01:46.725 That's... Okay. Well, you can adjust that, couldn't you? 00:01:46.905 --> 00:01:47.345 No. 00:01:47.845 --> 00:01:51.505 We haven't come to terms of being not overwhelmed with the yard yet, 00:01:51.505 --> 00:01:52.785 but we'll get there, I think. 00:01:53.045 --> 00:01:53.725 I don't know. 00:01:53.925 --> 00:01:55.305 I don't know how much it's going to cost. 00:01:55.725 --> 00:01:56.885 It's going to cost thousands. 00:01:57.125 --> 00:01:57.985 I don't like how much it's going to cost. 00:01:57.985 --> 00:01:59.845 Thousands and thousands. Yeah. 00:02:00.285 --> 00:02:00.965 Tens of thousands. 00:02:01.125 --> 00:02:02.125 Yes. Yes. 00:02:02.705 --> 00:02:03.945 What if you even it out? 00:02:04.385 --> 00:02:05.865 No, no. There's no way. 00:02:05.925 --> 00:02:06.345 No options. 00:02:06.965 --> 00:02:09.765 What if you get rid of the grass there and put something else there? 00:02:09.925 --> 00:02:11.225 That's not really an option either. 00:02:11.565 --> 00:02:14.765 I mean, I love your brainstorming. Yeah, I do too. The problem is there's knotweed 00:02:14.765 --> 00:02:18.565 right down the way. So if we don't keep it maintained, the knotweed just doesn't take over our lives. 00:02:18.625 --> 00:02:21.885 No, just put it like, you know, put it like a little desert thing. A little desert thing. 00:02:21.925 --> 00:02:24.185 Maybe, maybe. All right. So the house? 00:02:24.425 --> 00:02:28.725 The house is great, but yeah, the yard sucks. I had to buy cleats. 00:02:30.214 --> 00:02:34.014 And that still doesn't help. Yeah, that's a lot. 00:02:34.454 --> 00:02:38.114 Came back here last week and mowed, got the whole front, backside, 00:02:38.374 --> 00:02:40.794 everything mowed in an hour and a half. 00:02:41.094 --> 00:02:44.074 Didn't even have to take one break. I was like, man, this is the best. 00:02:44.654 --> 00:02:48.974 I never knew it was so easy to mow the yard. Yeah. 00:02:49.294 --> 00:02:52.994 All right. So Four Points is a local Pittsburgh brewery here on Western Avenue. 00:02:53.274 --> 00:02:57.574 And this is the Ceremonials. They're Bohemian Pills. 00:02:58.214 --> 00:03:02.834 And I smell the slight crackery breadiness that I would expect from a Pilsner. 00:03:03.534 --> 00:03:04.274 Very bready. 00:03:04.734 --> 00:03:07.134 A little bit of a hop. A little bit of a noble hop. 00:03:07.134 --> 00:03:09.474 Spicy noble hop kind of aroma, for sure. 00:03:10.274 --> 00:03:13.634 The color is, there's a little chill haze, which is expected. 00:03:13.994 --> 00:03:18.174 And the color is, yeah, like a really pale gold. 00:03:19.054 --> 00:03:19.534 Yeah. 00:03:20.614 --> 00:03:25.954 I find that the Bohemians are a little, what's it, there's a slight amber to 00:03:25.954 --> 00:03:30.614 it, right? where like Czech pills or I mean like Bavarian pills is typically more straw. 00:03:31.034 --> 00:03:31.274 Yeah, yeah. 00:03:31.354 --> 00:03:34.334 This one has a little more amber to it. Smells good. 00:03:35.054 --> 00:03:35.974 It's good pills. 00:03:36.254 --> 00:03:40.334 Tastes good. Yeah, no, it's got what you wanted. It fills the mouth with that, 00:03:40.794 --> 00:03:44.234 kind of saltine-like breadiness. 00:03:44.554 --> 00:03:50.534 It's got a decent noble punch so you're getting a little bit of slightly spicy 00:03:50.534 --> 00:03:54.954 but really more kind of grassy note in terms of the hops. 00:03:55.714 --> 00:04:02.054 Oh, I thought that was a ton of sulfur you are like dms or something like it's 00:04:02.054 --> 00:04:07.094 it's either that or it's just extreme hop bitterness but. 00:04:07.094 --> 00:04:12.054 I think it's pretty hoppy for sure it's pretty hoppy so you're getting sulfur 00:04:12.054 --> 00:04:15.854 that's i think where it's coming i'm not getting watered. 00:04:15.854 --> 00:04:16.754 Down more than mine. 00:04:16.754 --> 00:04:20.734 Does i'm not getting like what i would expect with dms is i would expect like canned corn. 00:04:20.734 --> 00:04:26.814 You know it's in yours too it's it's coating my entire mouth it's kind of chalky now i'm not. 00:04:26.814 --> 00:04:31.494 Well no i've got the chalky in my mouth for sure. 00:04:31.494 --> 00:04:33.434 I got the chalky. 00:04:33.434 --> 00:04:33.934 In my mouth. 00:04:33.934 --> 00:04:37.654 Craig yours was the bottom of the can so if it was yeast or something like that 00:04:37.654 --> 00:04:41.734 i would expect you to have the slug of it but taste. 00:04:41.734 --> 00:04:43.714 Mine i think mine weirdly tastes cleaner. 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:45.620 Maybe a little bit. 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.760 Yeah. And when you're under the microscope, a little bit goes a long way. 00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:53.440 So I see what you're saying, though. Yeah, there's a little bit more. 00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:56.260 It's astringent. It's almost, that's what it is. It's astringent. 00:04:56.580 --> 00:04:59.580 It's like an oversteep tea or something like that. 00:05:00.380 --> 00:05:03.580 Weird. Can stratification. Who knew? 00:05:04.200 --> 00:05:07.060 Yeah, it's, yeah, I don't know. I mean, from what I'm drinking, 00:05:07.260 --> 00:05:09.620 it's going to be hard for me to really get around. 00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:14.980 The thing I don't like about what I'm tasting is, like, right in the middle, and it's super wide. 00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:15.180 Yeah. 00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:18.860 So it's going to keep me from being able to get into good parts of this beer. 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.520 So I have three more of these. I mean, this will be fine as a drinker. 00:05:22.760 --> 00:05:23.020 Yeah. 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.620 One of them I may just use to make some tempura batter or something, right? 00:05:25.620 --> 00:05:28.620 I mean, that's the thing we found out there. 00:05:29.020 --> 00:05:33.720 When I drink the orphans from a show or whatnot, if I'm watching TV or something, 00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:37.060 they always just go down. They're not complainable at that point. 00:05:37.060 --> 00:05:38.240 Yeah, it's only when you're. 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.660 Like— You drank a Miller Lite the other night. 00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:43.080 Oh, that's fine. Miller Lite's fine. 00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:44.580 Is it? 00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:45.180 Yeah. 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:51.240 I mean, I said, you're drinking a Miller Lite? And he's like, I needed hydration. 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.700 And I was like, oh, yeah, I guess it is mostly water. 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.400 It was a joke because it's fucking close to water. 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:06.900 Well, that's why you don't drink it on a canoe. But, no, I thought we got rid 00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:09.980 of all that snobby stuff. I was like, no, I'm fine with Miller Lite. 00:06:10.180 --> 00:06:12.800 In terms of light beers, I think Miller Lite's probably one of the best ones. 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.800 It's one of the beers that the former homeowners left in the fridge when they 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.240 moved out and left everything in the fridge. 00:06:19.340 --> 00:06:22.960 Everything in the fridge. Three dozen eggs. 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.080 Hey, make some obelisks. 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.840 That and the beer are the only thing we kept. Everything else had to go in the trash. 00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:34.320 Yeah, I didn't care. There was a whole gallon of milk that wasn't opened, 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.540 but I just threw it away. I was like, no. 00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:43.940 Mm-hmm yeah the we did learn wow the previous homeowners filthy yeah, 00:06:44.789 --> 00:06:47.449 The amount of cleaning we had to do was stunning. 00:06:47.449 --> 00:06:47.889 You mean me? 00:06:48.629 --> 00:06:49.909 I tore out the carpet. 00:06:50.209 --> 00:06:53.689 Oh, yes, you tore out the carpet that we thought was charcoal gray. 00:06:53.969 --> 00:06:56.469 Well, 30 years or plus in the house. 00:06:57.069 --> 00:07:03.949 Yeah, but come on. You can clean your carpet. I thought it was charcoal gray. It was light blue. 00:07:04.049 --> 00:07:06.629 Yeah, we moved in and the dresser was gone. There was a light blue square. 00:07:06.809 --> 00:07:09.749 Light blue. Not meaning blue. Light blue. 00:07:10.029 --> 00:07:11.869 Okay. Yeah, that's something. 00:07:12.269 --> 00:07:18.909 It was disgusting. Because I was going to put carpet in our bedroom. 00:07:19.129 --> 00:07:22.129 If you don't change your carpet, and it's light struck, if you don't change 00:07:22.129 --> 00:07:25.669 your carpet for like 40 years, then it will, the dye will. 00:07:26.389 --> 00:07:28.949 Yeah, but it's not going to turn almost black. 00:07:29.129 --> 00:07:30.629 It was dirty. 00:07:31.069 --> 00:07:34.049 It was dirty, but yeah. Yeah, it was pretty filthy. 00:07:34.349 --> 00:07:41.169 I mean, that was the only place I wanted to put carpet in the whole house was in our master bedroom. 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:48.989 and when i saw that and what was underneath the carpet when he pulled it up 00:07:48.989 --> 00:07:54.429 i was like nope changed my mind no carpet none whatsoever it ruined her carpet 00:07:54.429 --> 00:07:59.809 for forever no carpet i have a little portable bissel like yeah cleaner thing 00:07:59.809 --> 00:08:01.129 because i don't have much carpet. 00:08:01.129 --> 00:08:03.389 In my place but if something happens i can do a little clean. 00:08:03.389 --> 00:08:10.009 But yeah the in this place it's all wood right i mean Yeah, it's all wood. 00:08:10.129 --> 00:08:11.589 I mean, we've got some rugs. 00:08:11.749 --> 00:08:14.229 Well, one of them is over at the other house right now, but I think the other 00:08:14.229 --> 00:08:17.969 one's still in the living room. But yeah, well, there's carpet upstairs. 00:08:19.109 --> 00:08:20.549 I mean, if you want to call it that. 00:08:21.909 --> 00:08:24.129 This is like indoor-outdoor kind of. 00:08:24.129 --> 00:08:25.149 Yeah, it's the short piles. 00:08:25.329 --> 00:08:28.749 Like pool table, underneath the pool table type. 00:08:28.789 --> 00:08:29.989 You play pool right on the floor. 00:08:32.869 --> 00:08:37.629 So, unfortunately, yeah, you decided to evacuate the rest of your beer. 00:08:37.629 --> 00:08:41.089 Oh, no, I tried. Oh, I evacuated into my gullet, but I wasn't going to, 00:08:41.109 --> 00:08:43.889 I wasn't going to romance it. 00:08:46.089 --> 00:08:50.269 Well, hey, what are you going to do? Like I said, I pick it up today, 00:08:50.269 --> 00:08:53.069 looking for something that wasn't hazy. 00:08:53.469 --> 00:08:57.109 Don't try. You're never going to discover the next best thing. All right. 00:08:57.209 --> 00:08:59.969 So since we're doing loggers, this is one that I brought back, 00:09:00.129 --> 00:09:04.509 Shannon and I brought back from our trip around the Finger Lakes last year. 00:09:04.669 --> 00:09:06.209 This is SolarWinds from Prison City. 00:09:07.089 --> 00:09:08.489 It's a fooder-aged lager. 00:09:08.929 --> 00:09:16.609 Okay, so it's aged for 638 days. What's the significance of 638? It's not two years. 00:09:17.109 --> 00:09:18.549 I don't know. 00:09:18.869 --> 00:09:21.129 356 plus 100... 00:09:28.117 --> 00:09:30.157 I think I think I got that right. 00:09:32.677 --> 00:09:37.377 Yeah, that's a great idea. Let me ask. Let me ask Miss GPT. 00:09:38.357 --> 00:09:42.717 What would be the significance of the number 638 in terms of days? 00:09:43.937 --> 00:09:45.077 Sure. Let's break it down. 00:09:45.617 --> 00:09:46.177 You got it. 00:09:46.397 --> 00:09:50.157 That's a year in about nine months. Give or take a few days depending on leap 00:09:50.157 --> 00:09:52.557 years. So if you started counting. All right. 00:09:54.137 --> 00:09:55.677 It's just how long it was in the boroughs. 00:09:55.677 --> 00:09:57.097 They won't be able to hear it, probably. 00:09:57.757 --> 00:10:01.477 Well, it's in, I mean, it was a voice, so maybe. 00:10:02.297 --> 00:10:03.057 Oh, yeah. 00:10:03.417 --> 00:10:10.777 Let's give that a shot again, just in case. What is the significance of 638 in terms of days? 00:10:11.857 --> 00:10:17.357 Ah, got it. So 638 days isn't a common milestone, like a full year or something. 00:10:18.117 --> 00:10:18.977 Cuts out. Great. 00:10:20.037 --> 00:10:22.497 Yeah, and there's something weird going on with ChatGBT. 00:10:22.777 --> 00:10:27.217 Microphones. It's what Co-Pilot's voice mode does, too, where it wants you to 00:10:27.217 --> 00:10:32.717 be able to interrupt it, but it does this whole weird pause, the interruptions. 00:10:33.517 --> 00:10:37.397 It wasn't doing that when I was talking to it earlier. Something was going on 00:10:37.397 --> 00:10:40.697 with it, I think. Anyway, a year and nine months or so. 00:10:41.337 --> 00:10:43.317 They probably tasted it. 00:10:43.657 --> 00:10:44.057 Yeah. 00:10:44.297 --> 00:10:48.617 They probably tasted it every three months after a year, and now's the time to pull it, be my guess. 00:10:49.217 --> 00:10:55.617 So it's aged with their house mix culture, in their oak furter brewed with magnum 00:10:55.617 --> 00:10:58.397 hops, lager yeast, pilsner malt, 6.1%. 00:10:58.397 --> 00:11:00.017 It was very clear. 00:11:00.537 --> 00:11:00.917 Yeah. 00:11:01.877 --> 00:11:06.437 So from what I'm smelling, I'm expecting... 00:11:06.437 --> 00:11:07.897 Yeah, go ahead. 00:11:08.137 --> 00:11:10.597 It's sort of a lactic fermentation thing. 00:11:10.597 --> 00:11:16.237 It's a lambic-y kind of thing. I'm smelling kind of like a cheese rind or something like that. 00:11:17.417 --> 00:11:22.397 So I was recently in Boston. It was my niece's 21st birthday. 00:11:22.517 --> 00:11:24.577 A whole kind of stuff going on there. 00:11:24.717 --> 00:11:27.417 And my dad was up there and he's been up there for like a month. 00:11:27.617 --> 00:11:32.817 He just came down today, came back today. So it was, I had a good time, 00:11:33.077 --> 00:11:37.977 except I made the mistake of not wearing off. 00:11:39.497 --> 00:11:41.417 And yeah, I mean. 00:11:41.557 --> 00:11:43.977 You can see you got destroyed. 00:11:44.157 --> 00:11:51.877 Oh boy. I got torn up like for two days, mostly in, in, in my legs is where 00:11:51.877 --> 00:11:58.377 I got it. but those things are alive and they are not nice. Um, 00:11:59.616 --> 00:12:02.896 So the weird thing was it was sort of a delay because, you know, 00:12:02.936 --> 00:12:06.916 I got the like, I started to get the redness and stuff. It's hard to show up. 00:12:08.396 --> 00:12:12.356 Then I had a couple things on like my hands and arms and those were fine. 00:12:12.496 --> 00:12:14.456 But the concentration, the amount 00:12:14.456 --> 00:12:20.636 that was on my leg turned into not like itchiness, but just pure pain. 00:12:21.276 --> 00:12:25.436 Distracting. Last weekend was horrible. I'm glad we didn't try to do a show 00:12:25.436 --> 00:12:26.656 last week because it would have been impossible. 00:12:27.356 --> 00:12:32.816 So I had to finally get like, and everything I tried, I tried Tiger Balm. 00:12:32.936 --> 00:12:34.996 I tried the Benadryl cream. 00:12:35.396 --> 00:12:42.076 I tried the only thing that some kind of worked was the 4% gold bond super medicated. 00:12:42.376 --> 00:12:42.716 Okay. 00:12:43.436 --> 00:12:48.816 And that would work for a little bit, but no, it was just, it was hard to sleep. It was just the worst. 00:12:49.136 --> 00:12:55.616 Finally, now, now it just looks bad. Now it's just scabs, but just don't do it. 00:12:56.116 --> 00:12:58.316 Shannon's got a similarly bad story. 00:12:59.156 --> 00:13:03.096 Yeah, the very day that we closed on the house. 00:13:03.296 --> 00:13:08.636 Yeah, we were over there and I got stung by a bald-faced hornet. 00:13:09.556 --> 00:13:12.616 And, well, you can see the scar. See that? 00:13:12.736 --> 00:13:13.136 Wow. 00:13:13.456 --> 00:13:14.036 See that pink? 00:13:14.776 --> 00:13:17.836 Big one, about the size of, a little bit smaller than a tennis ball. 00:13:18.256 --> 00:13:20.296 Maybe a little bit larger than a golf ball. 00:13:20.456 --> 00:13:26.116 It was bigger than a tennis ball when it, it was almost the size of my hand 00:13:26.116 --> 00:13:27.936 the pictures are all blisters. 00:13:27.936 --> 00:13:33.776 Are crazy so she she trained the blisters but then she got an infection so she had to go on antibiotics. 00:13:33.776 --> 00:13:36.936 Yeah a week exactly 00:13:36.936 --> 00:13:42.036 a week later i got up and i had red streaking going on and i was like okay now 00:13:42.036 --> 00:13:48.796 it's time but that that sucked that hurt that was so painful the first three 00:13:48.796 --> 00:13:55.056 days i guess yeah i think it was that second night yeah where i just I couldn't do anything. 00:13:55.376 --> 00:13:57.496 Yeah, she had to lay down. She couldn't help work on the house. 00:13:57.656 --> 00:13:57.976 No. 00:13:58.476 --> 00:14:01.976 I know that. Yeah, I know. That's what I got because it was, 00:14:02.176 --> 00:14:03.596 again, it's like a single mosquito. 00:14:03.836 --> 00:14:08.476 Even a couple is not going to do it, but just, you know, there are like 30 or 40 here. 00:14:08.616 --> 00:14:12.256 It was just that concentration. And that's just on one side of my leg. 00:14:13.276 --> 00:14:17.516 On one side of one leg. It was on both legs. Oh, God, no. 00:14:17.896 --> 00:14:17.996 Yeah. 00:14:18.916 --> 00:14:22.216 I'm normally not that much of a magnet for mosquitoes, But I'm normally not 00:14:22.216 --> 00:14:26.556 running around outside during the summer that much anyway, because I hate summer. 00:14:27.376 --> 00:14:28.396 Yeah, summer sucks. 00:14:28.936 --> 00:14:29.736 Summer sucks. 00:14:29.856 --> 00:14:32.196 So does winter. Spring and fall are great. 00:14:32.416 --> 00:14:34.236 Like, I don't know why we have to qualify it. 00:14:36.891 --> 00:14:38.771 Summer just sucks, period. 00:14:40.931 --> 00:14:42.411 Winter doesn't have bugs. 00:14:42.671 --> 00:14:45.871 No, it's definitely more tolerable when it comes to bugs. 00:14:47.771 --> 00:14:51.071 And we won't have to mow the yard. That'd be great. 00:14:52.231 --> 00:14:53.691 Definitely look forward to that. 00:14:54.091 --> 00:14:54.891 Oh, shit, yeah. 00:14:55.571 --> 00:14:58.891 Winter, it gets a little chilly sometimes, and you've got to put on extra clothing. 00:15:00.351 --> 00:15:05.371 That's fine. Yeah, sometimes it gets so cold it hurts. That's not great, 00:15:05.451 --> 00:15:06.651 but you go inside and you're fine. 00:15:06.891 --> 00:15:12.131 Yeah. Yeah, I'd rather have that. I'd rather be cold than hot any day. 00:15:12.431 --> 00:15:16.751 I hate it. You can only take off so many clothes and then it just doesn't help anyhow. 00:15:17.471 --> 00:15:20.191 That's what July Shannon says. Ask her again in February. 00:15:20.411 --> 00:15:24.991 I know. February, I'm complaining and I'm the first to complain about every season. 00:15:27.451 --> 00:15:31.811 But let's face it, you know, whenever I say summer sucks, everyone always says, 00:15:31.891 --> 00:15:35.071 oh, what about winter? You ever heard of fall? 00:15:35.071 --> 00:15:38.391 Fall and spring yeah fall used 00:15:38.391 --> 00:15:43.171 to be my favorite time of year now spring is because i get to thaw out a little 00:15:43.171 --> 00:15:49.951 bit you know but fall is like oh shit it's gonna be dark like all the time yeah 00:15:49.951 --> 00:15:55.591 you know that i don't like the darkness that's my biggest complaint i think 00:15:55.591 --> 00:15:57.971 about the winter is it being dark that. 00:15:57.971 --> 00:16:02.911 Was a real problem for me when when i used to work in an office now i don't 00:16:02.911 --> 00:16:07.951 really care that much now it's fine but yeah when you would go in and it'd be dark and. 00:16:07.951 --> 00:16:13.731 You'd come out it is dark yeah like this what's what kind of life do i have 00:16:13.731 --> 00:16:19.951 yeah that just sucks yeah onto the beer onto the beer this is solar. 00:16:19.951 --> 00:16:21.371 Winds from prison city, 00:16:22.423 --> 00:16:24.303 It has a light funkiness to it. 00:16:24.383 --> 00:16:24.443 Yeah. 00:16:24.443 --> 00:16:29.943 Yeah, it's not really that tart. Or not that sour. It's a little tart, but not that sour. 00:16:30.163 --> 00:16:33.903 It's not at all what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to 00:16:33.903 --> 00:16:37.863 be pretty tart. It's very easy to drink. 00:16:38.483 --> 00:16:38.903 Quite. 00:16:39.223 --> 00:16:47.683 It does seem like it's still distinctly lager-y, as opposed to a Saison or something like that. 00:16:48.063 --> 00:16:52.483 It's pretty clean. like in the estuary, like there's not a big bunch of esters or anything. 00:16:53.243 --> 00:16:55.683 There's the malt flavors still in there. 00:16:55.923 --> 00:16:57.243 Yeah, it's definitely there. 00:16:57.543 --> 00:17:02.023 Yeah, that's a nice thing about this is that it aged a lot so it has a lot of 00:17:02.023 --> 00:17:06.703 complexity to it, but it doesn't overwhelm the rest of the flavors that are there. 00:17:06.803 --> 00:17:09.583 The rest is sort of the underlying beer. So yeah, this is really nicely done. 00:17:09.723 --> 00:17:10.103 It is. 00:17:11.063 --> 00:17:15.863 And it looks like it was put in the bottle December of 2024. 00:17:16.843 --> 00:17:21.323 So it's got another year and a half that couldn't. 00:17:21.323 --> 00:17:22.723 Have been December of 2024. 00:17:23.343 --> 00:17:24.263 Because we were. 00:17:24.263 --> 00:17:25.623 In the Finger Lakes before that. 00:17:25.623 --> 00:17:30.203 Okay then what's this number mean I don't know maybe it's the. 00:17:31.103 --> 00:17:32.263 The expiration date. 00:17:32.263 --> 00:17:40.743 It's B1224 I don't know it's B oh maybe it's just batch 1224 oh yeah. 00:17:42.523 --> 00:17:43.683 I like this. 00:17:43.683 --> 00:17:46.623 Yeah no I'm a i'm a digging it i'm 00:17:46.623 --> 00:17:50.063 a digging it and yeah the it comes through that it's a lager it really does 00:17:50.063 --> 00:17:58.383 it in i don't know like this is not a beer that i would expect to win over like 00:17:58.383 --> 00:18:04.663 people who are who don't like beers but this is a beer that i think is definitely different but also, 00:18:05.923 --> 00:18:09.823 respectful of all the little bits that you that you want so yeah i'm a fan. 00:18:10.808 --> 00:18:11.388 I dig it. 00:18:11.748 --> 00:18:12.628 I dig it too. 00:18:13.528 --> 00:18:13.908 Mmm. 00:18:14.768 --> 00:18:17.668 So another thing that I've been working on. Oh, so I don't want to, 00:18:17.848 --> 00:18:21.408 real quick, the reason I was working on this stuff on my vacation is because 00:18:21.408 --> 00:18:25.148 on the second day of my vacation, the first full day, I was riding... 00:18:25.148 --> 00:18:26.748 24 hours, less than. 00:18:26.888 --> 00:18:31.588 Riding a bike with my kids. They were the beach cruiser bikes that were like at the rental house. 00:18:32.008 --> 00:18:37.748 And we get down to the nature preserve and Max asks Ali if they want to race 00:18:37.748 --> 00:18:40.048 and Ali's like, no, like I'll race you. 00:18:40.488 --> 00:18:45.008 And I was like, okay, let's go. So up on the bike, I'm pumping as hard as I 00:18:45.008 --> 00:18:50.308 can, and the chain jumps off, and I will lose it and wipe out hard. 00:18:51.088 --> 00:18:53.628 I was completely tangled in the bike. The way it flipped over, 00:18:54.008 --> 00:18:56.968 I couldn't get out of it. If the kids weren't there, I would have had to wait 00:18:56.968 --> 00:18:58.448 for someone to come and get me out of the bike. 00:18:58.688 --> 00:19:00.088 Oh, really? You didn't tell me that. 00:19:00.728 --> 00:19:02.448 Oh, yeah. I told you I was tangled up in it. 00:19:02.508 --> 00:19:05.068 Well, I didn't know you were, like, literally tangled up in it. 00:19:05.068 --> 00:19:07.808 I mean, maybe I could have gotten my wits and gotten out of it, 00:19:07.828 --> 00:19:09.788 but it didn't seem like it because I was hurting. 00:19:10.048 --> 00:19:13.488 and my leg was like flipped over and underneath 00:19:13.488 --> 00:19:17.328 the seat post and uh anyway and 00:19:17.328 --> 00:19:20.048 you have flip flops on yeah and you know i'm like oh we're just 00:19:20.048 --> 00:19:22.728 riding down the street with these beach cruisers i can wear my 00:19:22.728 --> 00:19:25.548 flip flops so series of hijinks if 00:19:25.548 --> 00:19:28.768 i f that up but anyway i didn't so 00:19:28.768 --> 00:19:33.108 y'all got injured in various ways but while 00:19:33.108 --> 00:19:35.888 i was at the rental house and 00:19:35.888 --> 00:19:38.968 couldn't go in the ocean or the pool or the hot tub because of 00:19:38.968 --> 00:19:42.088 open wounds i did some digital housekeeping and 00:19:42.088 --> 00:19:45.248 kind of redid the cbr website and everything 00:19:45.248 --> 00:19:47.968 so you guys greg found a couple mistakes that i 00:19:47.968 --> 00:19:51.188 pushed yesterday so i'll get those fixed but got 00:19:51.188 --> 00:19:54.648 it fixed there'll be an episode index i'm transcribing all 00:19:54.648 --> 00:20:02.648 of our old episodes are about half done um and having ai kind of helped me do 00:20:02.648 --> 00:20:05.328 a bunch of different things with it so we'll have new summaries we'll have chapters 00:20:05.328 --> 00:20:11.648 we'll have like interesting moments like links to them oh it will have a comprehensive 00:20:11.648 --> 00:20:13.708 list of all the beers tasted and the rankings. 00:20:14.823 --> 00:20:18.583 Our show website is brand new. Doo-dah, doo-dah. 00:20:18.843 --> 00:20:18.983 Yep. 00:20:21.163 --> 00:20:25.403 Well, but we still have to update it because we just discovered I'm not on it. 00:20:25.783 --> 00:20:32.143 Mm-hmm. Yeah, we took a look at it, and our bios are weird. 00:20:32.663 --> 00:20:38.343 Yeah, there's not—I do like the intro, I think, that you did with the very first page. 00:20:38.503 --> 00:20:39.423 That I wrote a while back, yeah. 00:20:39.563 --> 00:20:42.943 But, yeah, the stuff about who we are and the show is a little, 00:20:43.103 --> 00:20:44.383 yeah, very, very out of date. 00:20:44.823 --> 00:20:49.283 But we talked a little bit about, we have these, is now we're recording on different, 00:20:49.423 --> 00:20:54.283 so in order to get the transcripts right, we're recording on different tracks. 00:20:55.183 --> 00:21:00.903 Thank you. So that the transcriptor will know which audio is which person. 00:21:01.443 --> 00:21:08.203 Which means that we can train an AI bot, LLM bot, whatever you want to call them, to use our voices. 00:21:08.683 --> 00:21:12.103 And then we can now interrogate them and bring them on. 00:21:12.383 --> 00:21:17.363 I really want to do that. I really want to get a me and a you and just, 00:21:17.483 --> 00:21:20.943 like, ask them weird questions and see what they say. 00:21:22.003 --> 00:21:23.243 All right. We'll do it. 00:21:24.283 --> 00:21:27.403 And a Shannon. Yeah, no, there's definitely enough Shannon. Yeah, you've been. 00:21:27.443 --> 00:21:28.003 There should be. 00:21:28.183 --> 00:21:30.883 Maybe. There's at least 30-plus episodes, right? 00:21:31.103 --> 00:21:32.463 Yeah. Yeah. 00:21:33.403 --> 00:21:36.803 One episode will be enough to train the voice, and then, you know, 00:21:36.903 --> 00:21:40.843 the transcripts have who's speaking. So, at least the news transcripts. 00:21:40.963 --> 00:21:44.763 Yeah, the older ones. I don't think that the AI is good enough to do that. 00:21:45.383 --> 00:21:48.243 No. I mean, there is an option. I couldn't get it to work. 00:21:48.883 --> 00:21:52.483 Yeah, I think that if you poured a bunch of computing resources into it, 00:21:52.543 --> 00:21:53.803 you might be able to get something better. 00:21:54.983 --> 00:21:58.023 But it still wouldn't be great. 00:21:58.243 --> 00:22:00.723 Yeah, it's still the most expensive part of this whole thing. 00:22:00.783 --> 00:22:04.143 It costs about 80 cents an hour to transcribe the old audio, 00:22:04.323 --> 00:22:07.183 but I get credits through work, and Shannon gets credits through work. 00:22:07.403 --> 00:22:09.103 So we're using my credits, too. 00:22:09.343 --> 00:22:12.163 We have the old service that... We paid for. 00:22:12.283 --> 00:22:12.443 Yeah. 00:22:13.797 --> 00:22:17.357 That's actually, you know, this is that the credits are very soft money. 00:22:17.517 --> 00:22:21.657 So I'll just, you know, like with the combination of my account and Shannon's 00:22:21.657 --> 00:22:25.217 account, we should be able to get through them all next month. So I'm Batman. 00:22:27.297 --> 00:22:34.217 And yeah, so I'm just excited to like make the website like pretty good with a little bit of effort. 00:22:34.297 --> 00:22:36.677 And AI is doing a lot to help there. 00:22:36.837 --> 00:22:38.257 It's pure vibe coding, right? 00:22:38.797 --> 00:22:43.257 Pretty much. I mean, you have to know enough to like set it straight when it starts lying to you. 00:22:44.557 --> 00:22:47.357 Right but but you're not but it's still a black box. 00:22:47.357 --> 00:22:50.657 No you're telling you what to do no i understand what it's doing i mean i can 00:22:50.657 --> 00:22:55.077 understand all the apis and everything but like the the layout of the website 00:22:55.077 --> 00:22:58.997 i was like just generate me a new website you know and so that's it did the 00:22:58.997 --> 00:23:04.637 html for the why if it's good enough for something like crafty radio it's good 00:23:04.637 --> 00:23:05.937 enough it doesn't have to be great yeah. 00:23:05.937 --> 00:23:09.937 Yeah yeah no i'm i'm with you we're not we're not putting up a storefront and 00:23:09.937 --> 00:23:11.917 trying to sell, you know, run a business here. 00:23:12.157 --> 00:23:18.097 Right. Right. So I figured the bar was really low to have AI just do all the things. 00:23:18.397 --> 00:23:22.637 Yeah, I mean, I think that one of the things that's really cool and it does 00:23:22.637 --> 00:23:25.917 need to be updated, like I said, with a search thing, but we talked about it, 00:23:26.037 --> 00:23:29.757 is there's a list of all the beers we've done linking to the shows that we did 00:23:29.757 --> 00:23:32.057 them on, which is really neat. 00:23:32.897 --> 00:23:37.657 And that's going to be useful in a couple of ways. One of them is, 00:23:38.197 --> 00:23:39.637 have we done this beer before? 00:23:40.037 --> 00:23:45.077 I can also, so once I get the playback linking to like timestamps, 00:23:45.237 --> 00:23:48.457 I'll be able to link to when the bees start reviewing the beer too. 00:23:48.897 --> 00:23:49.917 That'd be really neat. 00:23:50.886 --> 00:23:55.466 Really cool. Okay, well, this is already much more hoppy. This is a... 00:23:55.466 --> 00:23:56.166 Of course. 00:23:56.366 --> 00:23:58.346 This is some kind of hazy... 00:23:58.346 --> 00:24:01.526
