This show features some of Mikey Mason’s more serious songs. Mikey brought the show back a few beers from his travels being a funny man. The brewery is Big Boss Brewery and we sampled three. Bonus Beer Bob whipped out some New Glarus Unplugged Apple Ale.

On the last half of the show we sample three meads from New Day Meadery. It is the only meadery in Indiana. I want to thank Tia and Brett for joining us on the show. It was a blast.

First off, we played some killer music on this show from a band called “Kentucky Nightmare” out of Bloomington. I want to thank the people from Standard Recording for allowing me free reign of the new album. The info is below. Buy it.

Our special guest on this show is Jacob. He actually turned 21 the day this episode was recorded and Bonus Beer Bob made sure it was a show not easily forgotten. The beers were Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree IPA, Russian River Damnation, Russian River Salvation, Russian River Beatification and Russian River Consecration.

Bonus Beer Bob flew to California and hung out at the best breweries the west coast has to offer. We drank two collaboration beers. The first being Lost Abbey Ne Goeien Saison with Hildegard Van Ostaden of Urthel and the second called Port Brewing Hot Rocks Lager with the darling of The Good Beer Show, Tonya Cornett. We also sampled Marin Eldridge Grade White Knuckle Double IPA which was suggested to Bob to bring home by some Beer Advocate people. The last two beers were Russian River Damnation Batch 23 and Russian River Consecration. I would like to thank Vinnie of Russian River for donating these beers to the show.

Our musical guest was “The Lash” and his debut album will be available once the bitter legal battle between Sony, Geffen and BMG is settled. Additional photos of this show are available here. The wonderful voice opening the show was supplied by Kasey. His voice is for hire.

Bonus Beer Bob outdone his self on this show. We sampled 8 different beers from Struise Brouwers, regarded by many as the best brewery in the world. I am not going to link to ratebeer yet on this post since they are having trouble and seem to be in the Firefox penalty box again. Many thanks to Bob. He is hrking on beeradvocate if you want to get in touch with him.

The beautiful lady on the harp is Megan and she can be contacted at her MySpace site if you are looking for a harpist for your event around here.

Ebenezer’s Pub was mentioned by Bob as the place to drink if you love good beer. “Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos” will be on the Conan O’brien show November 19th.

They were on the GBS many moons ago on episode 24!

First of all I would like to persuade all our listeners to vote for one of the Beer Safari podcasts that have been nominated for a podcast award at podcastawards.com. They are “Should I Drink That” and “My Life as a Foodie“. Vote everyday. It is quite an honor to be nominated.

Now for the fun part of this show. We sat down with Jon Lang of Barley Island and Dave Colt of The Ram (Indianapolis) who between them, won every medal at the GABF in the No.16 Wood- and Barrel-Aged Beer category. We sampled Beastie Barrel Stout (bronze), Buffalo Bock (silver) and Old Jack (gold). We also tried a Pro-Am beer called “Single White Friar” which Jon Lang and Mark Schiess created.

Music for the show was from doublePark and the two other artists below.

I want to thank Mike and Gina from Hoosier Beer Geek for attending the show. Gina, please get well soon. Her roller derby team called “Circle City Socialites” can be found here. These medal winning beers can be found at the upcoming The Sixth Annual Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer.

What can I say? The group featured on the long awaited GBS 160 is one of my favorite local groups, “Everything, Now!“. They have a new album coming out in November and guess what? The Good Beer Show gets to play some songs off of it first. Beers sampled on the show were Budweiser American Ale, Brugge Triple the Ripple and EN!’s leadman’s homebrew. This beer was fantastic! I want the recipe.

Necessary links are to “Great Fermentations” and our Oregon vacation photos.

This show was recorded at the Brass Monkey in Kokomo. Chad, the manager and the brewer, Andrew rolled out the red carpet for the GBS. We tasted some fantastic beer and had a great time. Mikey Mason played a tribute to Huey Lewis and other fun songs. Not only is the Brass Monkey the smallest brewery setup that I have ever laid eyes on but it shows what other craft beer bars could implement if they wanted too. I highly recommend a visit to this place. Enjoy the show!

On this show we bid Arrah, formally of “Arrah and the Ferns“, and Keil goodbye. They are moving to Philly. On the plus side, we play 3 songs that could have been on a new album and a couple others Arrah recorded for a Portuguese short film. Some of these songs may appear in a future project. I am crossing my fingers.

Beers on this show were Coney Island Albino Python White Lager, Coney Island Sword Swallower Steel Hop Lager, HeBrew Rejewvenator, Bonus Beer Bob’s Pliny the Elder clone and Dieu du Ciel Péché Mortel. Good luck Arrah. I love your music.
