Snow, Beer, And A New Year

Snow piled up outside and we cracked open Ellicottville’s holiday variety to see what stuck. The “sugar cookie” ale promised vanilla and bakery warmth, but our palates landed on semi-sweet green tea with a syrupy hint, sparking a real talk about flavor names, expectations, and how seasonal beer labels set you up before the first sip. From there we mapped out our path to video: quick reels now, smart gear later, and a steady cadence built on honest reactions at the table rather than a perfect studio.

The nostalgia wave hit when we turned to MTV’s sign-off after 44 years. We relived the early music video years, the pivot to reality TV, and the moment YouTube made curation on-demand. That shift changed how artists break, how fans discover, and why short, searchable clips beat a cable slot. Music videos didn’t die—they moved to a platform where you can find exactly the song you want in seconds.

Redemption arrived with the Chocolate Cherry Bomb imperial stout at 8.2%. Big chocolate on the nose, a rich body, and a shy cherry note that flashes late before a dry, slightly bitter finish. We’d order a pint to try, but it’s not a case buy; still, it’s a solid winter sipper for stout fans. We also look ahead to St. Patrick’s season—Irish reds, dry stouts, and ambers—and swap Savannah stories: long parades, sip-and-stroll charm, and cobblestone history that makes a beer taste better in your hand.

If you love beer reviews with unfiltered honesty, a dash of music history, and road-tested tips for building a creator workflow, you’re in the right place. Pour something cold, rate along with us, and hit play. Enjoyed the show? Follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it. What winter beer should we try next?

SPEAKER_01 3:59

I don't know if I'm getting so much of a sugar cookie. I'm getting some kind of sweetness there.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

SPEAKER_01 4:06

It's like a tea flavor. Yes, like green tea. Yeah, exactly.

Exactly. I was trying to figure it out, and then as soon as you said tea, I'm like, yep, yeah, that's it. Green tea flavor.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

Yeah, they missing that it ain't sugar cookies, it's green tea, unless it went bad.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Back in the day. Yeah. When it first came out, back in the day, I was a huge MTV fan.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:32

But then they went to reality TV.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

When did they do that though? That was probably more in the 2000s.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

Late 90s, like 99, maybe 98.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Then VH1 came out, right? VH1 had at least some.

SPEAKER_00 5:49

SPEAKER_00 6:38

I yeah, I don't even know. Yeah, I don't even know either. Which but I or did VH1 turn into BET?

SPEAKER_01 6:47

No, I think that was separate. Was it? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Oh, it's the early 90s is when they changed. You're right. Early 90s is when they changed to just reality TV and they quit playing fucking music. Which was the real because they had that real world that took off. They took off and they still talk about the original real world. Whatever, but I remember watching that though.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

I mean, I kind of got not never got into any of that reality boy. Not on MTV. No. I never got into all that shit, but what was it?

SPEAKER_01 7:22

The um oh the original real world? Oh, I don't remember this. Never mind. I don't remember watching that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I had no clue what that was.

I was too busy.

SPEAKER_01 7:32

91. I was in the military.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Yeah, I mean, I was serving this country in foreign wars, and these kids were just partying and drinking, pretending like they were living in the real world. Pretending. Well, they got working they weren't working, they weren't fucking doing it.

SPEAKER_01 7:50

Drinking. Uh yeah, VHS1 is still around on basic cable channels. Yeah. Oh, right there it says and they um yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:18

But uh, she's on the ball today.

SPEAKER_00 8:20

That that's crazy that they went off the air. I mean, it's not, it's not that crazy. Yeah, there wasn't anything on it. I mean, there was ridiculousness and reality TV. Catfished and whatever. You know what I mean? I don't even know if ridiculousness is on it anymore, really. I mean, right, no, I don't think so or some shit like that.

MTV’s Rise, Fall, And Reality Era

I think musicians liked making them videos. I think they did. That was a big thing. Make a video and everything. And it was fun to watch. That you, I mean, I guess that took away from it all.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

I think they still create videos because you could still go on um like YouTube and watch videos. They said that MTV stopped uh playing music videos primarily due to the change of viewing habits. Oh, the raise of the the rise of the internet, you're right. Yeah, especially YouTube right there.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

Like, I I've just, and no offense. I just kind of figured that she would be married to a Gor Tan fellow. Yeah. I would say they had a couple kids together, too. I think so.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

Yeah. He was in his own band though.

SPEAKER_00 17:03

SPEAKER_01 17:30

Yeah. Are they still married? Oh. I think. Oh. What's she married to someone else, though? Does it show that?

SPEAKER_00 17:39

Actually, when I seen him, I was just like, oh my God. Like, I kind of figured, I guess I'd I figured like her husband would be a lot tanner.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

He does have a tan. I wonder if she was married to anybody else.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

She's married in 70, or she was born in 75. She's my age. 72. I just seen 75. 75.

SPEAKER_01 18:00

Born March 27th. If you go back one, it said 72. Oh no. Maybe 75. Yeah. I was thinking of that. I was thinking of her age.

unknown 18:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

Her age is 52. So she's 55.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

53. See, up there it says age, 53, November 72. That's her husband. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh, okay. Never mind.

SPEAKER_00 18:23

So they're real close to your age. Good for them. Good for them. Good for them. Good for him.

SPEAKER_01 18:27

Anyways, the screen tea? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 18:29

Do you think that thing would be blown up? I know. I mean, surgery. Whatever. Stitch, stitch.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Throw it next to Stitch that. Hook me up. Anyways, what do you think of this?

SPEAKER_00 18:41

Uh would you give it? I'm gonna go low. I really am. I'm gonna go. I like want to say a seven. Just because we've had a sugar cookie before. We've had a sugar cookie not from Ellicottville. We've had a sugar cookie. Oh, the cookie exchange sugar cookie was fucking amazing from Great Lakes.

SPEAKER_01 19:01

See, I was gonna go 5.5.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

Are you going that low? Yeah. I mean, I'll follow you up on it. Here, I'll go six. I'll split for instance. I said seven, like whatever.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

Yeah. Because I didn't think seven's kind of high. I mean, I got it down, but it's it's misleading.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

We go to ten.

SPEAKER_01 19:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:18

So that's why I was like, eh, low. That's why I'm halfway.

SPEAKER_01 19:21

Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm thinking two if you did it on a scale of uh what is it, four or five, you would do 2.5. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

I don't know. I don't get the sugar cookie.

SPEAKER_01 19:33

No sugar cookie.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

I don't get the sugar cookie at all.

SPEAKER_01 19:46

If they're in the green tea.

SPEAKER_00 19:47

If they're in a green tea, like a good yoga chick. Mm-hmm. Yeah. She'd be all, Oh, my next drink. This this is perfect. Add seven shots of vodka to it, and it'd be all good.
