- I listened to this podcast and all I got was a tummy full of 23 year old whales
When I first started my malty journey in 2019, I was young in shape and naive. IPAmaxxing and mogging on beer amateur jesters. I met a woman and she asked, hey what’s this podcast? That Mr. custard sounds like a smart and funny guy!”
Fast forward as I drink a 2003 arrogant Bastard as I write an alimony check, my wife took the family to Columbus to be Mrs. custard. Darn you Michael Gabriel! All I got in the divorce were the 2000s white whales so I can drink along with the Alex/Stephen old money ... more

United States9 days ago - To the good times wasted having good times
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
Apple Podcasts5Franko PourUnited States2 months ago - A cheugy millennial podcast for Uncs about a dead culture or something
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
Apple Podcasts5GrampaEggplantUnited States2 months ago - Bring back Michael to mediate
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

United Kingdom7 months ago - Long time listener first time caller
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
