“Summer nights and my radio. Well that's all we need,
baby, don'tcha know?
We celebrate when the gang's all here. Ah, hot summer nights, that's my time of the year.” Summer Nights/ Van Halen- 5150
I don’t know about you listeners but for me summer is the best season of the year! Cookouts, drinks with friends on warm summer nights under the stars, watching a thunderstorm light display on the canvas of a dark summer sky, listening to a ballgame, outdoor music events, and beer…oh my.
Welcome back to HomeBrew RockStars Episode 75 we are calling ‘Let’s Play Beer!’ And the gang’s all here. On this episode we are introducing a new format and invited Pete Domino and Jason Sears (to avoid confusion will refer to them as Sears the Elder and Sears the Sune) to sit in with us in round table fashion (actually it’s a pool table with maroon felt). We just discuss what’s on our minds based on summer and of course beer!
Sears the Sune and Pete brought their IPA featuring Zythos hops. This is a sneaky 7.5% ABV that gives no clue to its strength, we agreed the next one could use a bit more Zythos to give it a bit more hop punch but a fine beer as it is. Watch out drinking this one in the summer heat!
Kent brought an IPA as well. This one features Sorachi Ace, Simcoe and Citra fermented with Omega’s West Coast yeast. This has a great hop aroma and flavor. Kent was not sure of the ABV, a well done IPA.
If you have not figured it out WE LOVE BEER and if you have a homebrew that you would like us to try and review on the podcast contact us and we will make arrangements to get it into our thirsty hands.
There is a spirited discussion on the proper order to build a burger, MLB ballparks rated for their craft beer selection and a story about Colonial beer in 1776. We also talked about what music we’ve been listening to lately.
Big thanks to our program sponsors Pig Minds Brewing, Artale & Co, and 815 Gardens and Brewing for all their suds and support, we love you guys!
