    Episode 166: Second Sight Oak Eye and Heineken 0.0
    Jan 10 2025

    We're back after the new year, and Gary breaks out Second Sight Oak Eye that David gave him, while David kicks off Dry January with Heineken 0.0.


    Second Sight Oak Eye is is handcrafted in ultra-small batches from a mash bill of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley by two friends on a still they designed and built to deliver unique flavor. Having perception beyond ordinary sight, only our barrels know the future of the bourbon resting within. Let Oak Eye Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey reveal its hidden knowledge to you in each glass.


    Heineken 0.0 is a non-alcoholic beer crafted to deliver the same great taste of the original Heineken, but without the alcohol. It's made with natural ingredients and boasts a well-balanced flavor profile, making it a refreshing choice for those seeking an alcohol-free option.


    We also chat about our holidays, plans for 2025, and more.

  • Episode 165: Flights Across America Author Joel Geier

    Episode 165: Flights Across America Author Joel Geier
    Dec 13 2024

    Flights Across America author Joel Geier joins the Beers and Beards Podcast this week to discuss the upcoming release of his book which you can pre-order now.


    Of course we have to drink as well, and Joel drinks a dark lager from Good City Brewing called Afterglow. David drinks a beer from his advent calendar box in Other Half - Seeing Things. And Gary breaks out a new bourbon in Knob Creek Single Barrel.


    Craft beer tourism has gone mainstream. Whether planning entire vacations around beer or simply visiting breweries whenever they're in a new location (or even in their own city), people now frequently explore a place through its brewing scene. Joel has visited nearly 1,400 breweries across all fifty states, and this book is a compilation of his experiences. But it's more than just a travel guide. From planning a "beercation" to knowing the right questions to ask the staff upon arrival, Joel covers a variety of topics for those eager to dive into beer travel. Along the way, he shares insights into the beer scenes in cities and towns across the country. Nuggets of information on breweries and beers are woven together to paint a vivid picture of what it's like to visit each city for its breweries and overall beer culture. Flights Across America is an ode to Joel's love of breweries. Whether you're actively traveling the country to indulge in local beer or simply want to experience it from the comfort of your own home, this book is your ticket to the nation's vibrant craft beer scene.

    Beers and Beards Episode 164: Woodford Reserve 121.2 & Corruption
    Nov 22 2024

    A full, fun episode this week.


    David drinks a selection from our friends Wooden Cask.. The dark and gorgeous Corruption hit the spot as the bourbon barrel aged stout looked as good as it taste.


    Gary went with a gift, Woodford Reserve 121.2. The higher proof bourbon has been an acquired taste but this one seemed to be a winner.


    David nearly gets into an altercation at a Bengals game while in California. Did he come out unscathed?


    We detail our amazing , once in a lifetime opportunity at Buffalo Trace as we selected our barrel of Colonel E.H. Taylor.
