    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

  • Humble - - - Heron

    My last review didn’t post because of the - - -. I thought this was America.

    The DDB “Stephen & Friends” Podcast will have you singing dithyrambic chorus to the Humble - - - Heron; the true beer embodiment of Dionysus in avian form (or is it just an Italian Grape Ale? Close enough).

    All should listen to the words of DDB and reject the beer-denying hyperbole of 450 North and their heretical fruit syrup (In the timeless words of Diogenes: “Behold, a fruit lambic!”)

  • Pretty Good Show, Great Bits

    Was an amazing show until recently – it was unfortunately revealed that the Host, Alex Kidd, blows his nose simultaneously with both nostrils.

    I finished all my NA beers out of a mix of disappointment and rage, broke my tv in a drunken stupor, left my wife and dog, and crashed my truck.

    Now? I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life. Maybe I’ll open an NA brewery to atone for my poor life choices, and start a charity so no one else grows up to be a double-barreled nose blowing kindergartner... more
