The Crafty Boys / Episode 19 / Windy Juxtapose of The IPA

Image
This week we hit up the Four Winds Brewing Company's IPA selections. The first is a member from their Zephyrus line Juxtapose Brett IPA . This is their limited selection beer line and is very, very tasty. The second beer is the Four Wind's IPA , their standard year round line. The Beer This Week   These are both very good beers. You can't go wrong with either but, for those who are the more adventurous, the Juxtapose is something that may change your mind about IPA.

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

Image
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 Crafty Boys / Episode 17 / The Subtle Smurfiness of The Coconut Bird

Image
We are braving the  Swans Coconut Porter  -- we expected to taste some sweetness with this beer (after all, it says coconut on the flavour). This is a pick from Dave and he is a huge fan of this beer. It has a bold flavour. There may not be a lot of coconut but it is still very yummy. We give it four Smurfs and a snjord. The Beer This Week We all decided we liked this beer because it is very subtle in taste. It makes us all want to talk about expensive sandwiches and start up our own brewing business -- but only if there is a huge margin in sandwiches. Especially if  those sandwiches are more than $200 a sitting. We would also use gold leaf and diamonds. We tackle this expensive sandwich debacle head on.

Dave Ran Over A Goat In His New Jetta | Episode 16

Image
We talk about beer... and we love to do it especially if they are "weird". We are braving the Red Racer Maple Bacon Ale -- we'd heard good things but it does scare us that we may be drinking brewed maple syrup and pancake batter. The goat then got up, called in a favour from his bear buddies, and Dave was quickly subdued and roasted in a pit for later consumption.

The Crafty Boys / Episode 14 / The Cars of the Black, White, and Blue

Image
We talk about beer... this week we rock out to what we consider to be an "oldie". This gets us talking about cars and how we love the cars we used to own. Old things are better things or... are they?

The 4th Mile Stretch | Episode 13 | Beer Review | The Crafty Boys

Image
We talk about beer... we delve into some beers that we haven't tried before. Our in-house 4 Mile historian wasn't able to attend this one otherwise we may have had a far more informative discussion.  So, we talk about stuffing raisins up our noses when we were kids. Dave was looking around at some dancing lights and it turned out that a bear attached an LED light to a bear tail... it ended a little weird. ♥ Subscribe https://goo.gl/zfKUTb ♥ __Episodes__ Previous Episode ► https://youtu.be/c_IJQd0za5k Next Episode ► https://youtu.be/Ndmdz-R_7yw __This Week's Beer__ 4 Mile Brewing http://fourmilehouse.com/four-mile-craft-beers/ __Stalk Us__ http://www.thecraftyboys.ca http://www.twitter.com/thecraftyboys http://www.facebook.com/thecraftyboys http://www.google.com/+thecraftyboysca #beer #craftbeer #beerreview

The Silence of the Pipers | Episode 12 | Beer Review

Image
We talk about beer... beer from our memories. This episode includes a brief history lesson about how Vancouver Island Breweries Piper's Pale Ale went from a good beer and became a sad beer. Something that we don't often run into. We also find out that our memory is better than reality. Dave was never a member of the Piper's club so... well, he was eaten by a pack of bear club members because their tolerance is much lower than ours. Poor Dave.
