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.

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.

It's Gonna Get Sour Before It Gets Sweeter | Episode 191 | Beer Review

This excellent lemon-lime sour beer was thunk up by the wizards at Lighthouse Brewing Co. The Lemon Line Sour Ale is low in booze but has a heart that will tear your taste buds out and beat them to sour-y amazement. Dave was able to avoid bear-related death this week as he used the lemons in the beer to mask his scent with lemon-y goodness. Bears don't like being cleaned with lemons so they missed him entirely.

The Tin Whistle Brewing is making and appearance with their Killer Bee Dark Honey Ale. This porter is dark, wonderful, and tastes a lot like honey. Well, maybe it does. We weren't too sure. But you'll have to watch and see what we thought. Dave was lost in a dust storm in the Northern British Columbia and was rescued by a special group of bears trained for finding him when he wanders off.
