It’s pretty friggin’ hot in SoCal, but sometimes it’s nice to sit inside of an air-conditioned room and pretend it’s a nice, cool December evening, while drinking some warming Belgian brews.

Editor’s note: this last paragraph will just remain as-is for future posts until this lockdown is over.

We hope you’re safe. We know this sucks right now. We miss our friends and family, socializing, and even going for a run without having to wear a mask, but this is temporary and staying at home as much as possible, while also keeping our distance from others in public, is something we must all do. That being said, we live in a great time in history where we have a robust internet that allows us all to stay in contact, see each other’s faces, and even get together once a week for a virtual happy hour.

We’ll be recording episodes once a week from here out, which is actually pretty cool for those who normally can’t make it to our typical monthly recording sessions. We’ll be having guests on the show, trying new beers, and continuing to keep doing our thing the best we can. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll get through this.

Now, on with the show!

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
WASH YOUR HANDS.
WEAR A MASK.
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE.

Episode 189: – This week, we (officially) welcome in 2018 with beers from Madewest and Electric Brewing Company.

Welcome to 2018…again! This week, we’re ringing in the new year with some beers from one of Murrieta, California’s hottest new breweries, as well as some randos from the local Total Wine and More.

Electric Brewing Company out of Murrieta, California is quickly becoming one of the Inland Empire’s most talked about breweries. As you may have gathered from their name, Electric has uses an electric kettle to brew every drop of beer they produce, which you don’t see too often in other breweries. Electric Brewing Company brew a wide range of tasty brewers, but their IPA and juicy IPA offerings have really been over-the-top awesome lately.

As we said earlier, there are a couple of random beers on the show this week that Jason picked up from his local Total Wine and More. First is an IPA from Madewest Brewing Company, which, turns out, is pretty damn tasty. After that, we wander over to left field to drink a Winter Ale from Brasserie d’Achouffe called, N’Ice Chouffe.

We also take a long overdue dip into the 4B Mailbag.
