Joining him are his co-hosts, comedy writers and performers Stephen Loh and Michael Gabriel.

We all had one. She'd buy you tickets to R-rated movies or go on pre-Thanksgiving dinner walks. She adds Coke and ice to her red wine and smokes slims. She's your cool aunt and she's not judging anyone for drinking NA beers. The Malty Boyz™ also do t... more

Long time listener. Just wanted to say thank you for the content fellas. My wife n I have been in the craft beer game for quite some time. A little back story, she worked at the Ballast Miramar (pre-sale) and I worked for a craft beer distributor in Ohio. This would have been 2012-16’ish. We now have a little one and can’t keep up with all the industry news so we mostly get all the gossip from you guys. We still try and hit up local breweries throughout our travels to see what is going on in loc... more
From what I see on Ploddy (it’s a Gen Z social network yall aren’t allowed) these guys talk about “craft beer,” which is apparently some long dead culture where they drink alcohol? I’m not sure what that is, I’ve never seen beer before. I don’t know what “barleywine” is, but I think my parents had wine at their wedding maybe? I have had a raisin before, they talk about that a lot too. I don’t know. They’re funny but they’re SOOOOOO old (they killed off the only character that wasn’t 40, it’s sad... more
Bit worried about the format wars that’s developing between Steven and Alex, it’s horrible when your parents fight. Nonetheless, this is the only beer podcast you need, assuming you have that need.
I sent Alex some uk non alcohol beers but I don’t think they got there as I may have misdeclqred them - oops and sorry
I’m updating my review from 2018 when I first started listening. I quit drinking a year ago and was loving the NA DDB stuff. I felt inclined to update my review after Stephen’s horrible take about nose blowing. There is no correct way to do that. #doublebarrelgang
Listening to the malty boys discuss the state of the beer, spirits, and NA world is always enjoyable. Thanks for providing the info and yuks y’all.
