The Crafty Boys / Episode 18 / The Hollow and the Redness

By shanebee -



We are kicking back with Big Rock Brewery's Hollow Tree Red Ale. It turns out, this is not your regular Big Rock. It was brewed in Vancouver, BC, using BC ingredients. It is quite the shift in the Big Rock arsenal. We dive in and soak ourselves in the Pacific Northwest waters and enjoy the heck out of this one.

This beer influenced us to talk about new movies from old properties. We are nervous but hopeful that these films and stories we grew up with don't get killed by money grabs. There is also some discussion about how fans are now in control (somewhat) and how they can influence the properties that do get made.

The Beer This Week

We enjoyed the hell out of this beer. It really became an episode love fest for Big Rock.

Wheat Are We Currantly Talking About | Episode 204 | Beer Review

This week, we're experiencing the the Black Currant Wheat Ale brewed lovingly by Phillips Brewing & Malting Co. It is a fruity yet tart beer and it has one of the best illustrations of black currants we've ever seen. Watch us as we drink our way through this dark-ish beer. Dave showed off his ability to talk about radler beer (and, really, is a radler a beer?) and a bear crept quietly from his armoire and ate him alive.

It Was Dark and Raining in The Big Squeezy | Episode 203 | Beer Review

In today's episode, everything is going sideways as we find ourselves wandering the dark streets of The Big Squeezy by Torchlight Brewing. It promises to be the best pale ale beer ever and will give us the fruit experience of a lifetime. Dave liked this one. He really did. A bear walked into the room, witnessed his love for the beer... and then the bear walked backwards out of the door. A look of shock on the bear's face could not be overstated.

The Aged Does Get Better With Stave | Episode 180 | Beer Review

The melted liquorice finish is the amazing feel of this beer. We tried staving ourselves from the beer but the dark liquid kept us transfixed for quite a while. We are always on the look out for a beer that can make us be quiet and this one came so close. Dave was lost again... no idea where. He was probably in a bear den somewhere getting a few winks before returning to civilization.
