Another Reason to Drink
Don't Trust Anyone!
Two seasonal beer releases collide in our latest tasting adventure, resulting in unexpected discoveries and hearty laughs. We kick things off with Victory Brewing Company's Peanut Butter Candy Cake Porter, a smooth 6.0% ABV offering that immediately impresses with its harmonious blend of chocolate, coffee, and peanut butter notes. The lack of bitterness and perfect flavor balance earns it a solid 8.5/10 from both hosts.
As we transition to Southern Tier's Irish Cream Stout (5.8% ABV), something curious happens. While browsing both breweries' websites, we stumble upon identical layouts, special offers, and weekly promotions – revealing an apparent connection between these seemingly separate brewing companies. This craft beer conspiracy becomes an engaging subplot as we savor the slightly sweeter profile of the Irish Cream Stout, which we agree would serve as an excellent alternative to Irish coffee during St. Patrick's season.
Between sips, the conversation wanders into entertaining hypothetical scenarios. Would you amputate a finger for $50,000? (We unanimously agree we would.) Would you accept $500,000 to work as a children's party clown every Saturday for life? (That's a hard pass from both of us.) Our "Bad Choices" segment might raise eyebrows, but it reflects the unfiltered camaraderie that makes sharing great beer with friends so special.
Whether you're preparing for St. Patrick's Day festivities or simply searching for perfect seasonal brews to welcome spring, both of these 8.5-rated offerings deserve a spot in your rotation. Grab a cold one, press play, and join us for this celebration of craft beer, friendship, and unexpected brewing industry revelations.

welcome back to another great, awesome show from your hostess with the mostest princess and my sidekick rick, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna match your energy my energy, your energy. I'm feeling a little too high up there I know yeah, you ain't coughing, yeah you ain't fucking hacking everyone, I ain't hacking, I'm doing good.
Speaker 3:And then, thank god you, neither beer winch or yourself got it no, I yeah, I did get a little sniffly there for a minute. I'm like all right, here we go.
Speaker 2:But I know I started taking an emergency and, oh, emergency, yeah. So hey, we got a good show for you tonight. So what we're going to do is we're going to do a seasonal release. It's by victory brewing company and it's peter. I mean peanut butter candy cake, and it actually is. It's got candy with the k and cake with the k's a porter, and it's 6.0. And our second treat for the second half is going to be Southern Tears Irish Cream Ale.
Speaker 3:Yes, and that's in lieu of St Paddy's St Paddy's dude that we all are going to be working at, yay, yeah.
Speaker 2:But I mean, the weather is nicer now, so that's always nice. So, anyways, we're going to. I wonder if you have to kind of tip this one. I'm going to tip it up just to make it shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it baby.
Speaker 3:I know they're cold.
Speaker 2:I know they're cold, it feels good.
Speaker 3:Because I've had them about three weeks now I like that chocolate smell.
Speaker 2:That's not so bad so far. That it's male, that's not so bad so far. That's pretty good taste. It's got some peanut butter too.
Speaker 3:You got a little coffee flavor, though don't you say, well, it's a porter right yeah, so there's a little coffee.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a chocolate, chocolate.
Speaker 3:Actually a peanut butter porter makes a perfect porter. I you know what I mean because it gives you that chocolate flavor that you know it does taste good it does? They're a good match they really are.
Speaker 2:We did this before was the sour monkey, which was a 9.5 from victory. Yes, victory yeah we didn't score too high with us on that one, but um, we did that a couple years in 2023.
Speaker 3:I have a feeling this one's going to score a little higher. It is good dude. I do actually remember we were on that big kick of the Sours. No, the Jesus beer, sweet Baby Jesus, sweet Baby Jesus, and that was good, that was really good. But honestly, my first sip so far, I'm like huh, this might be a better one. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you don't have that barrel flavor.
Speaker 3:You don't have that bitterness either from the porter. It's like they have a good blend of peanut butter in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I really feel like I get a little coffee sticks to my head on this one. I do get the peanut butter and the chocolate, but give it a second. The aftertaste my head on this one.
Speaker 3:I do get the peanut butter and the chocolate, but give it a second. The after I get that porter. I just get that porter.
Speaker 2:That dark chocolate pottery. It's smooth, though it's good. It's good because I like how cold you have it. Yeah, well, yeah cold, cold.
Speaker 3:Need to start getting beers three weeks beforehand and then put them in the fridge.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, let them instead of me coming home with warm ones, I'm trying to throw in the fridge.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, let them. Instead of me coming home with warm ones, I'm trying to throw in the freezer and get a little.
Speaker 2:We've done that many, many times, many times. Next week, though, um uh, ethan the e-money got us some beers, so we're going to try them. He picked up two from his trip to Texas, so he's going. Yeah, so we got next week, We'll do them. Yeah, what are you going on Texas for? I didn't know. He went on the rodeo.
Speaker 3:Oh, because it started March 1st, so I went to the rodeo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, To the rodeo. The rodeo next week, though it it. It might be a tough show we could do. Uh, it might be an earlier show, if Rick's time's permitted. Because you got a wedding. Yeah, I got a wedding to go to and it's out of the country so I won't be able to do it, but we might be able to do it early and then get it knocked down. What do you think On Tuesday? I'll be gone Tuesday, it'll have to be. Monday night, that's fine.
Speaker 3:Monday night, just in a day or two, what you mean? You mean like this coming Monday yeah, like St Paddy's Day Monday yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm game.
Speaker 2:We might have to do some St Paddy's stuff yeah we're going to have to do some St Paddy's. I can't do too much because I've got to get in the plane in the morning.
Speaker 3:You'll be fine, yeah, yeah, you'll be fine.
Speaker 1:You're fine, you're fine, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I definitely got to pack this weekend. Then remind me but anyways, yeah, so I'll be out of town for a little bit. That's my big thing. That's what's going on with me, just working, getting over this goal. But work is crazy right now. I mean just my schedule is packed.
Speaker 3:That's a good thing for you.
Speaker 2:It is a good thing. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Because we're dead dude, like it's killing me. Oh really, it's dead, I don't know what's going on?
Speaker 2:I really don't well you, so your business, uh, builds off more of the summer months yes, yeah well ish it's weird, like our business is kind of weird.
Speaker 3:Um, I've seen slowdowns in August and stuff.
Speaker 2:I get it because people might have extra inventory, or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Or everything got built, yeah, and you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:And they're just everything's in slow and we don't want to hold this shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know what I mean, so I don't know. It's weird. It's like we've been really in our eyes it's slow, but money-wise eyes it's slow, but money wise it's still there. Yeah, so either we got very efficient yes on how we're doing.
Speaker 3:It could be, yeah, and things have just changed over the years. People have changed over the years for sure, yeah, of like the people doing it and whatever. So I mean, we might have just got a hell of a lot more efficient and we're finding out that, hey, you know what there's? There's definitely some dead weight. I don't want, I mean, hopefully none of my bosses are listening to this but you know, I mean there's but there is.
Speaker 3:It's like fuck, like I'm about ready to volunteer myself to go somewhere else because these days are getting fucking long. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's killing me. Like I left early yesterday, I had to, like I was just like I'm done dude. It's been four days of fucking just standing around like I, and that drives me up the wall I have to like I can only do so much.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean. I'm like okay, then it gets busy, yeah, you know. But then you take away a couple people and then all of a sudden you're slammed at the end of a quarter and you don't have enough, you don't have enough people, and then you're there then he's on the show I can't even do the show so tired.
Speaker 2:We gotta quit early tonight guys, yeah you don't work tomorrow, though, right? No, oh, that's good, when. What I was gonna ask you is uh, have the terror tariffs affected you or not yet mentioned? Not yet, so it has our business. That's why we're a little bit, because the metal, because price metal. Yeah, that drives up, and not even though it hasn't really it might've went up, I don't know, but it's the thought. People get nervous, right. And so by buying cause they'll hold it, you know Right so like I said it's a good thing, but it's a bad thing yeah.
Speaker 3:Not yet a bad thing, you know, not yet. I mean, we don't get. I actually I guess we do get quite a bit from overseas, but at the same time, we don't. You know what I mean. Like it's like you make a lot we yeah, we and we have a good mixture of us stuff, but we do have some of the major things that we need come from do come from china, yeah, well, that might be why you're slow, that could be well, we haven't seen that yet, but we have enough of that, so it's a three month lead time.
Speaker 3:Oh, so you stop for us to get our containers from china, so you know you're good they call it resin they call it resin, but
Speaker 2:it's like a certain kind of material or certain blend they call a recipe or whatever.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but and it goes in all your uh coligan water tanks like there's a bottom of your tank has this stuff in it and right now we're probably sitting on seven months worth of runtime with it. Wow, wow, that's a long time, you know what I mean. So they might have bought more for them to maybe? Yeah, I mean, but that's just how it goes. We gotta order it, because it takes three months to get here yeah, and you don't want to run out.
Speaker 3:We don't want to run out. We've ran out before and it becomes a huge issue. I bet it does, but there's places in the us that makes it. It's just pricier, exactly, yeah, so now is the tariffs gonna go up? Go up and go, okay, yeah, maybe it's cheaper to stay here in the states.
Speaker 2:It's like 50 cents, right, but anyways, this victory uh sorry, but anyways, that's why I was saying is my. So I'm busy from that and I'm getting on ready for this trip, and so that that's pretty much it. I mean, the weather's been beautiful for me. Oh dude it's been gorgeous, I know, and I like it because we haven't had, no, that R word that helps to keep the mud prints down because it's drying out a little bit in the yard. Well, you know it's coming.
Speaker 3:I know it's coming this weekend. You know it's coming. It's just going to come here for the next month.
Speaker 2:Come all over. Yeah, off everywhere, clean it, just clean it and affect our sinuses. So anyways, this brewery, I go back to it. They have a lot of nice weekly specials. I don't know what Monday's warm up is. Yeah, that's kind of. But you know, tuesdays they got tacos.
Speaker 3:Chicken pot pie. Bowl of chili or queso.
Speaker 2:Oh, so they're offering food specials. Yeah, oh, this is out of what city, is that Downtowning?
Speaker 3:Downing Pennsylvania, pennsylvania, which is pretty far southeast of us. Yes, if you can figure out where we're going.
Speaker 2:It took them a minute, but anyways, they got wings for a dollar. They got Order of five, that's the minimum, so you only get five.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's your minimum. Yeah, it's probably the minimum. So it's six bucks for a six and Six that's fine For a 12.

Speaker 2:It's just your average, yeah classic hamburgers yeah, yeah nothing big three pepper chili I mean, you know we did a show a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2:I still want to go out to that brewery. It wasn't too far from us, I can't remember, but it was just like, let's say, southwest of cleveland a little bit a couple weeks ago and I was like man I'd like to go because one thing that piqued my interest a wasn't far b. I was wanting man this, some of this stuff would taste good. Maybe on that raft was that brew dog, wasn't brew dog. I was wanting man this, some of this stuff would taste good. Maybe on draft, was that brew dog, wasn't brew dog. I don't remember what we did a couple weeks. Maybe beer wench can pop back on the or dog boss or it was something like that.
Speaker 3:It was like it was not brew dog, but yeah, it's dog boss, that new one, I and we figured out it was just, it wasn't too far out of Cleveland, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I mean he's got. What is it here we got? Let me look on my thing. Oh, right here, Okay, so we look here it was oh, that goes too far back the WAPI with the tail. Was it that one? No, no, it wasn't hot blonde, that was pretty good, though that was fucking yeah that was good. Anyways, I can't remember, but I, I know it wasn't too far.
Speaker 3:How come we don't have any pictures?
Speaker 2:I know or is that somebody else, that's somewhere else, yeah that's where the beer wench went on there looking at her own profile. She got all that pictures she got all the pictures of her dick pics, so it should be in our memories right there. It wasn't Masshead or something, but anyways, either were I was just thinking of it the other day I would like to go out there and I believe it was Boss Dog. Yeah, that sounds about right. It was Boss Dog, I believe it was. Anyways, but yeah, this is good.
Speaker 3:I believe it was, anyways, but yeah, this is good it is, it's a good beer.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know working for it, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 3:You know, same old bullshit, beautiful. I have to stop driving my truck for a minute.
Speaker 2:It wasn't the Youngstown one, no, no, it was southwest of Cleveland. Yeah, it was Boss Dog. Yeah, that's how many it was. But anyways, you what, you had to quit driving your truck.
Speaker 3:I'm going to have to quit driving my truck for two weeks. Why, Fucking? I had a deer run out in front of me oh, you did, and had to lock up Like I felt my yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what it is, Boss Doug Brewery.
Speaker 3:I felt my brakes getting a little spongy and I knew, you know, I knew it was getting time for him. I had to fucking lock him up the other morning. Oh, because he was either that or fucking. So did you hit the deer? No, oh, okay, no, but I'm metal. I'm metal now. Oh, tore tore up everything. They just fucking whatever I had left on there. Yeah, and I called them, I called my mechanic, whatever. Dude, they can't get me in until fucking march 31st. Holy cow, they're that backed up, they're that far behind. She was like I'm doing you a favor, actually like I'm squeezing you in. Then she was like I'm anything else besides a break job real quick is the fourth.
Speaker 2:Wow, do it not, so you don't think about doing it yourself.
Speaker 3:No, dude, I've thought about it and I've done them. I've done them before, yeah, but it just seemed for one I'm gonna be outside, yeah well, you can't pull in your garage a little bit? Not right now. I can't, okay. I pull my camper out of there and all the other bullshit out of there. Yeah, yeah, but it's just every time I try to do it I don't have the right tool. I got to go buy another tool.
Speaker 2:That sounds like Bobby every time.
Speaker 3:Something's froze up, I got to fucking go get a torch or something to fucking warm it up. It's not worth my time and effort. I'm not a mechanic. I can get my way through in a pinch, but an emergency or something like that Like it's not worth me fighting over it for fucking two days, sitting out there in the fucking rocks, whatever, and trying to do it, I'm like you know what, I'm not even going to do it, whatever.
Speaker 2:Now you're going to entertain it.
Speaker 3:I'm not Like. Even I was talking to a kid at work, he was like well, well, do you want to just bring it up here?
Speaker 1:we'll do it out here in the fucking parking lot at lunchtime. I'm like dude, stop it, you don't understand. Like they don't work that way.
Speaker 3:Don't work that way for me yeah, I will get underneath there, I'll take the fucking tire off, we will break a fucking bolt and my truck will be here for two weeks yeah like.
Speaker 2:That's how it works for me.
Speaker 3:Like it don't matter like I, me and your brother went and did an oil change at my truck one time yeah, that's 10 minute, 10 minute oil change nope, fucking.
Speaker 3:The last guy who did the oil change fucking used a wrench on my plastic cartridge and broke and when I started it up it fucking there was a weak spot and it blew it out. So 70 later in oil when we finally figured out what the fuck was going on. Like that's just up my luck, like I, just me and mechanical things like that just don't it, don't. Like I'm just I'm not doing it, like I'm not gonna sit here and so mine's the same way.
Speaker 2:My truck needs a brake job, but they made it to the point now where you don't even have to take the caliper or anything off. You could change the pads. They slide out right on the top. They got a little bracket, holds in, it slides out. Press the little thing back, put it in, snap the new thing on. You put new sensor in, that's it I'm.
Speaker 3:If it was like that bill, yeah, I would do that right now but I need I need new rotors, yeah, but so I didn't know that, so I bought new rotors and everything.
Speaker 2:So I bought new rotors, so I'm going to have to take the whole thing off because I bought new rotors, but I could have got away with just putting pads in.
Speaker 3:I actually need new rotors and everything. I know that I was told last time I got my pads changed.
Speaker 2:They're like yeah, probably next time.
Speaker 3:It's travel season, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:so I'm having them do whatever I'm having them do a full overhaul on the truck, like okay, here guys sure everything's good, get it all good to go for summer yeah, well, that's good that you uh getting it all done, then right, you're right. But the bad thing is is that taking so long to get to get in? Yeah?
Speaker 3:I mean, luckily I'm gonna take the old age car, whatever, yeah, to work but if you didn't have that, you'd be like I'd have to fucking drive it yeah, I, I know I mean, I know I'm getting new rotors, yeah, so I'm not. It's not like I'm gonna fuck it up like oh fuck, I gotta buy it, but that's the thing. Like I don't want to be that guy. Yeah, yeah, I can drive into a parking lot faster, you go. Yeah, then you don't hear it at 65 like, yeah, we're good no I don't want to be like, that's funny that's funny.
Speaker 2:Anyways, it's not your car doing it right now, by the way yeah, I pulled into heinens.
Speaker 1:Fucking, I ran up to lunch just to see if there was any good beers up there.
Speaker 3:Yeah like I turned. That's all I could hear. I was like oh my god motherfucker dude. You know it's a nice truck, like I'm like fuck. I'm like no, I'm not that guy, come on.
Speaker 2:So you know, the thing about it that you talk about is your luck. So right, my brother bobby. It's his same luck. Anytime that he goes to fix something, something more breaks.
Speaker 3:Oh I know, I normally fix it with him and that's why I don't know if it's my luck or his luck, like I don't know, you're not taking the risk. I don't know, I'm not because every time me and him have tried to fix something, especially on my car or anything, dude no. We end up having to call somebody else Borrow tools. Brian, can you come up here real quick? We don't know what happened.
Speaker 3:I'm like nope, fuck it, I'm not a mechanic. I'm not going to pretend like I'm a mechanic anymore. Fuck it, I got the money, I'm going to pay the whatever to fucking have someone else do it, you hear that or just go buy a new truck.
Speaker 2:He hits me up, says I need some help plumbing Right. So we go in there and he had to go real quick and he's like the one pipe fell off. So I'm looking at the pipe and I'm like yeah, fell off here. And then I'm like moving it and the whole thing's moving. I'm like holy shit, it comes from all the way back behind the wall. So I get the flashlight and I look back there. None of it's hooked up.
Speaker 3:It's just laying there. I'm like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:And then I look and I'm like the whole spigot's out. I'm like this thing was never even used, so I pull it out. And now I'm thinking to myself, okay, well, I'm just going to cap this. This wasn't even being used, right. Then I'm looking at the other one trying to figure out, well, how'd they get hot water? And then come to find that that's all rotted and broken. I'm like shit, now I gotta fix that. And then I'm looking at the other one and I see it dripping.
Speaker 3:I'm like shit, now I gotta fix that you know, it just works its way down worse yeah, right, so we get in there.
Speaker 2:I'm working on, he comes over and he says well, you know he's helping me. I said why you're in there, put this in there, and he goes. I don't trust my word.
Speaker 3:I'm telling you like I said I don't know if it's your brother's luck or my luck. I just know that whenever he calls me or I call him and go hey, dude, real quick job it'll be a half hour. Yeah, the next day, me and bob are still there going what the fuck like? Why isn't this working?
Speaker 2:it was like what a year ago your your water pump thing, yeah, and here to come find out was just how it was wired yeah, it was because that, like we had to buy, it was so old, yeah, so we had to get a new one but we had to call it was so old, yeah, so we had to get a new one, but we had to call somebody else in and lucky we found someone that turned into major.
Speaker 3:That turned into a major thing.
Speaker 2:Like we, put it in the hole that is my fucking luck all day, every day. I tell you, though, we did a good job after we were all done. Oh absolutely Solid work everything.
Speaker 3:I wish I would have known to go for a bigger pump. I wish I would have known to go for a bigger pump. Oh, really, a little bit stronger pump. I can't run. I guess before it didn't matter if I had somebody washing dishes and I was taking a shower. Okay, I can tell the difference now.
Speaker 2:Oh, you can.
Speaker 3:Oh, absolutely, I can flush the toilet, uh-huh, and if it's still running, like if the plug doesn't lay right or something, yeah, and I'm in the kitchen trying to do dishes. Like I can see the waters Like I'm like why is the water low? Yeah, wow, I'm like why is the water pressure so low? And I'll go into the bathroom, jiggle the handle or whatever, and then I'll pick right up.
Speaker 2:So the, the, so, the so my question is but we put a matched pump in there.
Speaker 3:I don't know if it was matched.
Speaker 2:Oh, power-wise oh.
Speaker 3:So the next time you break you're going to put a bigger one in. I just went and bought the pump before we pulled it out. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So I don't know if the whatever, the fucking pump pressure or whatever were actually the same, oh, but I thought we did a good job. We did a great job. I didn't shower. We did a great job. We put it in real quick.
Speaker 1:And I was like, oh yeah, we put a new rope and everything that went well, could never get the power.
Speaker 2:Pull it out, put it in, pull it out.
Speaker 3:But here, luckily, we had another buddy who had a similar buddy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, who was a pump expert. Yes, that I honestly. If it wasn't for him.
Speaker 3:If it wasn't for him, I'd still be sitting here with no sound just taking horror baths every day and fucking out of a guy. I would end up having to call somebody you would have.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean, but another.
Speaker 3:but the thing was remember back in the day when I called, the guy was like oh, this is all froze up, you're going to have to have guys come out here and pull your whole fucking well shaft up and fucking everything else, Yep. And then our buddy came up here and he was like let me look at that first. And he tapped it a couple of times, yeah it was bullshit.
Speaker 2:There's just more money. Hey, you want to rate this real quick? I know we went on.
Speaker 3:I'm almost done. Yeah, I'm about out, so you want to go first or you want me to? No, go ahead bro.
Speaker 2:Let the hoes go first.
Speaker 1:I'm.
Speaker 3:Dude, I'm an easy 8.5, 9 on this.
Speaker 2:I was For a peanut butter beer like I like I'll go 8.5 myself.
Speaker 3:Eight and a half. Yeah, I'll go an eight and a half, for sure it's, it's good, it's not bitter smooth, it's definitely princess yeah, it's definitely a cake. Yeah, you can kind of taste that creamy peanut butter-ish Chocolate.
Speaker 2:Chocolate yeah.
Speaker 3:And the back end of it is that chocolate it's real mild, it's real mild porter. It's that real mild porter.
Speaker 2:Now I would probably keep this. You Absolutely, jason Keeper Creeper in the house. Yeah, it's pretty good. This is pretty good. I know we didn't rate the last one very high, but this one's good, this one's good.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I would definitely keep this, and this was a seasonal, is this?
Speaker 2:seasonal. It says seasonal. Yeah, it's not that. Excuse me that sweet either. No.
Speaker 3:No, it's good.
Speaker 2:I enjoy it I would do a couple and then probably be like okay.
Speaker 3:Two would probably be the most that I could probably get down to back to back. Yeah, anyways, maybe one here. Yeah, couple of the whatever and then back to it.
Speaker 2:To me, this beer is a like a beer that I'm getting ready to go to bed and I'm trying to relax a minute.
Speaker 3:A little nightcap. Yeah, I'm getting ready to go to bed and I'm trying to relax a minute.
Speaker 2:A little nightcap, yeah, basically pour this. Just kind of sit there. What finish up on watching a show?
Speaker 3:I can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, cause it's not real sweet, but it does have a little bit of sweetness to it. Yeah.
Speaker 2:But it's not really like a campfire or a pool bear a beer or like lake or something like that?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I could see that Absolutely. If I was out on a lake, I might potentially If it gets warm, I don't think it would be good. Oh no, it's really good.
Speaker 2:ice cold, no, but I'm saying if you're on a lake, you're just trying to relax.
Speaker 3:Just sitting there by it Toes in the sand.
Speaker 2:In the sand. Yeah, I wouldn't want that'd be good, but we got definitely. We got another one.
Speaker 3:I'm curious about the Irish. I've had a sip of that. I didn't have one, but I did have a sip of it from somebody else's and it's pretty fucking good Damn we easily gave this eight and a half.

Speaker 1:Oh, this one's a stout.
Speaker 2:That one was a porter. I think I prefer porters over stouts.
Speaker 1:Because I think porters are more of a chocolate coffee Stouts are more Yep Chestnut, praline, praline.
Speaker 2:Praline. This tastes pretty good, though you get a couple of six.
Speaker 3:They got a 3.83 on the old untapper.
Speaker 2:They got what on the Irish cream, the raspberry weed ale Cool, sometimes weeds, they take me a minute.
Speaker 3:I like weeds, I almost picked up that strawberry shortcake today, that Imperial.

Speaker 2:They are connected. This is too funny, isn't it too funny? Something's not. Yeah, they gotta be connected.
Speaker 3:So what we're talking about? Victory and Southern Tier? Victory Brewing and Southern Tier Brewing are basically the same fucking brewery they got to be.
Speaker 2:Because their websites are almost identical. They are identical their menu, everything.
Speaker 1:Everything, yeah, yeah so they got to be. It's awful funny.
Speaker 3:So Look even the picture, oh, the map and everything. The map and everything, so your website and everything is exact.
Speaker 2:Unless they got the same person to do it.
Speaker 3:They're connected. No, they're connected.
Speaker 2:They're connected.
Speaker 3:So Victory Brewing is your garage beer of Southern Tier. Yeah, yeah, it's your goodwill of Southern Tier, goodwill of Southern Tier, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I probably of Southern, I don't know, I probably prefer the I don't know, I like. I wonder, if you dig into the like, you know how sometimes they'll say who makes yeah, like what kind of it's interesting? That is, but it is the website's exactly the same. Very done, yeah.
Speaker 3:They're identical. Yeah, it's weird. Sunday kids eat for free, as long as you get a bowl or pizza or whatever.
Speaker 2:Click on the kids, they're identical.

Speaker 1:I get it, but weigh the differences here, all right.
Speaker 3:You know, I know you're right.
Speaker 2:I'm not right, you're not right. Okay, that was fun.
Speaker 3:Anyways.
Speaker 2:We went through Riggi's bad jokes and Riggi's bad jokes it's just my bad mind.
Speaker 3:Let's get out of that hole.
Speaker 1:But anyways, I can't, I can't.
Speaker 2:You can't escape, either can the listeners. Anyways, what do you rate this wonderful irish cream stout?
Speaker 3:so it's kind of hard. We don't really have anything to match it up against in my mind I can't think of anything, because it's kind of a sweeter irish stout. You know what I mean. As you get a little bit down.
Speaker 2:I think it would be better if you poured it in a glass.
Speaker 1:I can see that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure you get more of a cream flavor when you get down towards the Now that you say that Half second part of it, it probably says that no, it doesn't no.
Speaker 3:But normally a lot of Southerners do they, a lot of Southern tiers do they say dump it and whatever. But I actually like this. It's pretty good. I do like this. It's a good St Paddy's day beer. It is If I was in downtown Cleveland, pittsburgh, buffalo, you would be doing it. I'd be grabbing these. They make you a little burpy, though they do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't know why?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not sure, are you?
Speaker 2:burpy yeah, I am yeah, but the creams taste good.
Speaker 3:So how am I going to go an eight?
Speaker 2:An eight, and it's tough because you don't know what to carry, even if you put it in a stout, if you put it in a stout If you put it in a stout, but it's a sweet stout, it's kind of hard. Actually, I'm not a big fan of stouts, so I am, and this is actually seasonal. I'm going to go eight and a half, eight and a half a little higher.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do like it. Would I keep this? Probably not, would you keep?
Speaker 3:I would probably not. Would you keep I? Would you? Would I? Honestly, would I? I would keep it. It's not one of them ones I would keep to have every night. Yeah, but it'd be definitely a nice change of pace. Yeah, I could see that and I mean like oh shit, I got one.
Speaker 2:Oh hell, yeah, you know but how could you see yourself drinking this? Like the other one I described that you can kind of see yourself at end of the evening. This one is like maybe when you come home from work, march, yeah, march, all right outside of this, that's a very good season you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Like it's a good seasonal march beer, like I could see me drinking this instead of an irish coffee. I don't want. I don't want the irish coffee. This is kind of similar, goes up to it because it has a little bit of a sweetness. It's a little bit of that bitter taste.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's not terribly sweet though no, people know yeah, um, I wouldn't princess this. The only reason why is because stouts are a little bit.
Speaker 3:Well, how the hell are you giving it an eight and a half and you didn't keep it and you're not princessing?
Speaker 2:it, I know.
Speaker 3:But in your own taste you're saying an eight and a half. Yeah, my own Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but if I'm trying to say princess.
Speaker 3:Now you're trying to ask other people, right, but now them other people have real men yeah. So now they might like it no.
Speaker 2:but if they're thinking that, oh, I kind of like stouts, I would say this is a good stout. This is a good stout, a good Swedish stout. You're not going to be too wrong if you go down this. No, no, overall not bad. It's not this no, no, but overall not bad.
Speaker 3:It's not bad, no, it's good beer. I mean Southern Tier. Look, there's been a lot of we've done a lot of Southern Tiers. There's a lot of them that are too sweet. Yeah, I think this is a perfect medium.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I could do back to back yeah, I could do two of them For sure. Back yeah, I could do two for sure. Yeah, no problems. But any um, any last uh, another reason to drink? Oh, let's do it. Yeah, let's do another. You're another reason to drink, and then we'll do a recap on uh I know what the weather's gonna be like tomorrow.
Speaker 2:It's gonna be 70 fucking degrees in ohio beautiful yeah, and you got the day, I got the day off. What is you any plans? Um? And you got the day off, I got the day off.
Speaker 3:What did you? Any plans? Hopefully a lot, but we'll see. Yeah, I'm not going to go into it, but hopefully a lot of shit's going to get done.
Speaker 2:I've seen a lot of people lately what do you call that? Like raking their leaves, like doing it real hard, Like getting the shit that you missed and stuff. I don't have that. You know where they thrash it almost like um. You know like they they pulling the dead, the dead wheat grass out from the regular guy. I'm not yeah I've seen people doing that. I got a lot of leaves. I don't. I don't have very many leaves. I got so many many damn leaves.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to be outside doing some shit, but I don't know, at the end of the day, maybe, possibly, I oh, I'm hoping to get my overhang poured out. But, concrete, my outdoor kitchen, oh you're going to pour that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I already got the guy lined up.
Speaker 2:Oh really.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're just waiting for the ground to thaw.
Speaker 2:Really I didn't know that. Oh, that's cool, because Rick got like a little overhang area.
Speaker 3:It's an outdoor kitchen.
Speaker 2:You've been talking about that for a long time. Yeah, yeah, I got the guy lined up and everything. How many yards does that take for four? Just for that four yards? Well, that's only four inches.
Speaker 3:But no what, I'm surprised, it's that low a number yeah, that's what he came up with.
Speaker 2:He sat there and he was like yeah so it's 30 by 12 and they're gonna okay, so it'll go from the back to the front. Yeah, just the porch. Are you going out a little bit?
Speaker 3:I'm going to my apron on the front. Yeah, so you go out that out back about the same, maybe a little less. Do they dig it out? My apron on the front. Yeah, so you go out that far and out back about the same, maybe a little less Do they dig it out. He is going to dig it out. Wow, and go four inches.
Speaker 2:I'm excited. I can't wait. He's going to go four inches.
Speaker 3:He's going to go four inches.
Speaker 2:Only four. Only four, so he's only giving me like 30 times he's going to hit me in the head and then do it twice. Give me two inches. Oh, two inches, two inches, two inches, two inches.
Speaker 3:I figured two inches ain't much.
Speaker 2:I am not as fortunate. I got to work. I got actually people coming in, so I'm kind of busy at work. But yeah, hopefully I'm excited to end the day quicker, you know, and be done.
Speaker 3:Oh, because you got visitors.
Speaker 2:I got yeah, my mother-in-law's in town, and then it's my father-in-law's birthday party tomorrow. It's probably his birthday today. Happy birthday. But I don't know when his birthday is, so it's somewhere around here. Anyways, yeah, so we're going to do that, and then busy weekend, because I will be packing and yeah, I'll be working on something yeah, busy, but I, I, I do want to take advantage of the nice day.
Speaker 2:As a matter of fact, um, a lot of people are off, so you know why? Uh, because we had uh worked to where we needed to shut down a few extra days. So I was like man, there's a lot of people there, jelly, so they worked over because, or they worked tens, so they had their week, their week, but I couldn't because I have guests.
