  • ABV: 4%
  • IBU: N/A
  • Notes: 100-Calorie Hazy IPA dry-hopped with El Dorado, Comet, and Citra hops.

14 Aug 2019Drinking Socially - S2 Ep. 5: Franny's Farmhouse / Happy To Donut01:02:02

What We’re Drinking

Franny's Farmhouse by Bhramari Brewing Company

  • Farmhouse IPA
  • 5.5% ABV
  • Farmhouse IPA Infused with Hemp, Idaho 7, & Comet Hops. Brewed in collaboration with Listerman Brewing Company, White Labs Yeast, & Franny's Farmacy.eks in more than 20lbs of hops in each of several freshly emptied red wine oak barrels.

Happy to Donut by Wren House Brewing Company

  • Stout - Double/Oatmeal
  • 9% ABV
  • Happy to Donut was a simple predictive text error (we talk about donuts a lot) that became an inspiration. We brewed a 9% Imperial Stout and then added over a pound per barrel of exceptional @tchochocolate cacao nibs from Ghana and a few of the fattest Madagascar vanilla beans we’ve seen. The result is a rich and decadent stout akin to a chocolate donut

    • Are they going away with all the new breweries opening up? We speculate on the topic of craft beer whales, how difficult they are to define, produce, and locate.

Would You Rather:

Beer Traditions and Nostalgia

  • Home Brewing
    • We're actually drinking our first Home Brew on this Episode! An old friend of Jon's sent in a Home Brewed IPA in honor of his new Daughter's first #BrewDay and started a tradition of his own.
      • Maddie's Meltdown by Hye Brewing
      • ABV: 9.2%
      • This batch of homebrew was named after my newly born girl Madison Ann. It was her first #brewday. A great combo of 3lbs of Passion Fruit puree and 15 Habanero peppers. Half the peppers added during the last 15 minutes of the boil and the rest during the secondary. The addition of Citra, Nugget and Ekuanot hops during the boil and some dry hopping. Which added some great bittering and aroma to this batch of homebrew. Has a nice pepper nose up front. Warning you that trouble is just around the corner
    • Harrison recalls meeting Tom Miklenovic at a party and seeing 'jugs of beer' while falling in love with the process of Home Brewing.
    • Jon remembers some Canadian Home Brewers sharing beers out of un-marked bottles at a football game.
  • Sports
    • Jon talks about his first beer after football practice, and how beers and sports became such an important part of being a Bills fan. Also — how badly he wants to compete in a 'Crate Run' where him and Harrison drink a case of beer and 'run' a 10k
    • Harrison reflects on beer and sports in his early years — and how he would love to compete in a Turkey Run, but mainly just drink and walk to the finish line.

You picked up that six-pack at the flea market down the road? Score! Purchased At - tag it. By tagging your Purchased At location, you're reminding your future hazy-dazy self where you picked up that great IPA from.

Randalling and Infusion History

  • Early 'Infusion' History
    • The first documented use of hops in beer is from the 9th century, though Hildegard of Bingen, 300 years later, is often cited as the earliest documented source. -Excerpt from [Wikipedia]
    • The first US commercial hop production was a 45-acre garden established in 1648 to supply a brewery in the Massachusetts Bay settlement.
    • Exceprt from https://www.britishhops.org.uk
      • By the 17th century ale (i.e.: un-hopped beer) was no longer popular and beer was the established drink and by 1655 hop cultivation grew rapidly in fourteen UK counties. In a successful year, an acre of good hops could be more profitable than fifty acres of arable land, but some farmers would not grow hops due to the erratic yields caused by drought, wet periods and mildew. Duty was imposed in 1710 and the Act prohibited the use of any bettering agent other than hops in beer, as hops were far more wholesome. The duty varied from year to year and speculation on the tax became a popular form of betting.
  • Randall History
    • This invention is credited to Sam Calagione and the team at DFH Circa 2004
    • It was originally created to beat the Pacific brewers in the Lupulin Slam event.

Redaction: At 15:30 Harrison asks Jon if you need to drink "Uniques" to level up the Milestone badges.  Jon said that they do not need to be Unique.  Jon was wrong. 🤦‍♂  Milestone badges are only levelled up via Unique Beers.

What We’re Drinking:
Anchor Steam Beer - Anchor Brewing Company
https://untappd.com/b/anchor-brewing-company-anchor-steam-beer/6204

  • ABV: 4.9%
  • Style: California Common
  • IBU: 33
  • Notes: San Francisco's famous Anchor Steam, the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to our traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for our brewing process has evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world. Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when "steam" seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. The brewing methods of those days are a mystery and, although there are many theories, no one can say with certainty why the word "steam" came to be associated with beer. For many decades Anchor alone has used this quaint name for its unique beer. In modern times, "Steam" has become a trademark of Anchor Brewing.

Black Is Beautiful is a 10% Imperial Stout that was designed by WSBC to be a moderately high abv. stout to showcase the different shades of black. Not only will we be donating 100% of proceeds to the ACLU of NC, but we are also making the commitment to the long-term work of equality.

02 Dec 2020Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 31: Mount Beermore00:43:06

Mount Beermore was created because our talented producer was drinking beer on Vacation — well — it wasn't a vacation, it was a Wednesday... The idea was stolen from Mount Rushmore which is a gigantic rock in South Dakota — Gutzon Borglum was charged with choosing who to put on that monument — and even the US Bureau of National Parks likes to ask "who would you put up there if it were your decision?" We took that idea and applied it to Beer.  We looked for the Founding Breweries of our own Beer Journey... we'll catch you up on the first 3 to get 'carved in stone' — but this episode is about the final piece of the puzzle/monument/mountain.... the 4th and final selection in our Mount Beermore!

bottle". We're popping the top on Tropical Oberon from Bell's Brewery, a hazy, summery Oberon variant, and featuring Hoppy Corner in Paris to celebrate Bastille Day!

15 Sep 2021Drinking Socially - S4 Ep. 35: To The Port00:47:24

Porters are more than just, “that other dark beer”. Over the past decade or so craft beer consumers have sprinted down a dark, windy, roasty, path of the stout. From barrel-aged to fruited to breakfast variations to those infused with lactose and cake, stouts have become a darling of modern American craft brewers. But along the way we’ve forgotten that porters are kind of like the OG dark beer! Originating during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century in London, porters take their name from the London working class that first enjoyed them: boatmen, punters, and porters. After dominating England during the 1700s, the style lost popularity in the early 20th century and faded away until being semi-revived as a style during the rise of craft beer

Throw a fire in the fireplace - just make sure your Christmas tree is a safe distance away since you probably forgot to keep watering it about a week or so ago. But that's ok - beer is here to save the day. And not just any beer, the perfect beer for this day - in this month - in this year. This time of year demands something big and toasty and roasty and that's exactly what's in the bottle. Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello?

11 Aug 2021Drinking Socially - S4 Ep. 30: 2X00:45:13

In the case of an IPA, higher hop intensity and extra juiciness are a given. In fact, the style is often attributed to Vinnie Cilurzo, now owner and brewmaster of renowned Russian River Brewing Co. In 1994 rumor has it that Cilurzo  while working for Blind Pig Brewery added too much mash to his upcoming beer. Instead of tossing it he ran with it. He later took his innovation to Russian River Brewing where Pliny the Elder became one of the most highly regarded DIPAs in the country. Since then many breweries coast-to-coast have powered up their IPAs, making it one of the most popular styles in the country. Need proof? In 2020 Double / Imperial IPAs ranked as the third highest checked in style on Untappd with 34,000 different DIPAs appearing on the app and 6,585,229 total check-ins. 

That’s a lot of check-ins! To do our part we're drinking G-Bot from @newenglandbrewingco to unlock the “2X” badge, earned by checking-in to five different beers that contain Imperial / Double in its style name. Try 5 more for Level 2! We also highlight @texiKotequilabar in Hamden, CT as our Verified Venue of the Week, and shout out @edmundsoast and @UntitledArt for crafting the best beer and hard seltzer we had this week.

17 Jun 2020Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 13 - You Can't Spell IPA Without...01:36:43

25 Sep 2019Drinking Socially - S2 Ep. 8: Oktoberfest & 5 Beers!01:20:00

Seven Cities Tour Update

Greg (Twitter/Untappd), is nearly done with the Untappd Seven City Tour. The event locations have been trending on Untappd for each of the parties so far with only the final event at Cerebral Brewing coming up on October 1st. Follow along on the adventure via Untappd’s social media channels (Twitter / Instagram / Facebook) or here.

What We’re Drinking

Beer #1 - Oktoberfest by Boston Beer Company

  • Märzen
  • 5.3% ABV
  • We begin here as it's the most checked-in Oktoberfest beer on Untappd. Widely available in the US, and really good!

Beer #2 - Copper Legend by Jack's Abby Craft Lagers

  • Festbier
  • 5.7% ABV
  • This beer has been on Harrison's wishlist and rightfully so! Jacks Abby began as a family-owned brewery focusing on craft lagers. This is a great example of the style, and instantly let us know that our 5 Oktoberfest beers were going to be noticeably different!

Beer #3 - Oktoberfest - by Sierra Nevada Brewing a collaboration with Bitburger Braugruppe

  • Märzen
  • 6% ABV
  • This collaborative effort has been happening since 2015 and we felt this would be the perfect beer to transition from the US, to Germany. Each year, Sierra Nevada works with a German brewery to create a new and unique Oktoberfest beer. This is the 2nd most checked in Oktoberfest beer on Untappd this year, and the first time that yeast from Bitburger has left the brewery!

Beer #4 - Oktober Fest-Märzen by Ayinger Privatbrauerei

  • Märzen
  • 5.8% ABV
  • Our first proper German Oktoberfest beer was picked based on Untappd Check-in volume and excitement. This one had been logged by most of our own Untappd friends and we were eager to look for differences in the American versions and the German originals!

Beer #5 - Oktoberfest Märzen by Hacker-Pschorr

  • Märzen
  • 5.8% ABV
  • The final beer in our trip through Oktoberfest. We're hoping that the reviews aren't starting to get non-sensical at this point. This beer, and experiment proved that 5 beers of nearly the same style and ABV can all taste remarkably different. This beer was nothing like the previous 4.

12 Feb 2020Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 04: From Russia with Love00:57:55

What We’re Drinking:

Ivan by Victory Art Brewing

  • ABV: 13%
  • IBU: 100
  • Notes: Our version of the imperial stout, in addition to a fair dose of dark malts, It contains many special malts - whiskey malt (six-row barley smoked on peat), peat brewing malt and Belgian brown malt. This adds to the viscous thick taste and coffee aroma the smells of fuel oil and creosote. High alcohol is masked by a complex aroma, but beware! Beer is great for long, cold winter evenings. It goes well with chocolate desserts, as well as with dishes cooked on charcoal.

Old Rasputin by North Coast Brewing

  • ABV: 9%
  • IBU: 75
  • Notes: Produced in the tradition of 18th Century English brewers who supplied the court of Russia’s Catherine the Great, Old Rasputin seems to develop a cult following wherever it goes. It’s a rich, intense brew with big complex flavors and a warming finish.
    • Winner of 14 Gold Medals

  • Careful with that Passion Fruit, Eugene is the first of our ‘lambic inspired’ fruited series.
  • In this case we took a blend of 9-14 month old barrels, added Passion Fruit for one month, and bottle conditioned with wine yeast for three months.
  • The passion fruit shines through and combines perfectly with the flavors and acidity from the original blend.
  • Fruity, funky, sour… this beer could be dangerous in the wrong hands.

Kyle’s Beer

Aon Pecan Mud Cake by Omnipollo

  • Stout - Imperial / Double
  • 11% ABV
  • 60 IBU
  • When I was 12 I dreamed of becoming a pastry chef. Call this a creative outlet.
  • Thick, rich and excessively decadent, this beer aims to bring back childhood memories.

    • Updated Profile Histogram
      • Based on feedback we received from our 3.4.8 release, we have made improvements to the profile histogram to bring back a more individualized visual representation of a users breakdown of beer ratings.
    • Updated Tab Bar Icons with Text
      • To make the app more easy to understand, we have changed the tab bar to include new icons and wording below them.

New Brew Thursday, we all know it as an excuse to intentionally seek out a beer you've never had before, but it's also one of the hardest badges to max out on Untappd. Why is that?

We're aware that not everyone has been riding the IPA train as hard as we have been for the last few years but for the majority of the last decade, Untappd has been ruled by the IPA. Your grocery shelves are full of them, your bottle shops have a variety of new ones, and your local brewer (probably) always has one on tap. On this episode of Drinking Socially we're discussing the I Believe in IPA badge while drinking General Braddock's from Brew Gentlemen. We also highlight The Can & Bottle Beer Shoppe in Winter Springs, FL. Drinking Socially is Untappd's Craft Beer Podcast.

20 Apr 2022Drinking Socially - S5 Ep. 5: Summer Break01:00:23

Summer calls for beers that sustain us through these long sun-filled hours. Light, sessionable ones that we can comfortably enjoy two, three, or even four of throughout the day without sacrificing flavor. Sierra Nevada’s new summer seasonal, a session hazy IPA called Summer Break, does exactly that. Bursting with juiciness, but only hitting 4.6% ABV, the beer made such a splash when it first hit shelves last summer that it’s back in 2022. With Summer Break, Sierra Nevada is yelling C-A-N-N-O-N-B-A-L-L at the top of their lungs.

12 Apr 2022Drinking Socially - S5 Ep. 4: Monsters of IPA00:58:37

Meet the Monsters of IPA! In 2019, Rogue released its first hazy IPA called Batsquatch, a fabled creature found in the deep woods near Mount St. Helens. Following this juicy, cloudy, fruit-forward IPA, Rogue launched a second monster in 2021. Colossal Claude, a massive sea monster last seen off the coast of his favorite brewery, has been terrifying sailors and feasting on salmon for years. Now he's turned to hops. This imperial IPA has a colossal dose of Cascade, Chinook, Citra, and Strata. Now, there is a new monster on the scene, the Gumberoo. This West Coast IPA is fashioned after the mythical half bear, half hog last sighted by campers in the Pacific Northwest woods. The piney and protective Gumberoo has a subtle hop aroma and flavors upfront giving way to a light tropical fruit body.

What We’re Drinking:

La Fin du Monde by Unibroue

  • ABV: 9%
  • IBU: 19
  • Notes: The end of the world. The excellence of triple fermentation through a blend of special yeasts gives this malt beverage an exquisitely robust flavor of exceptional refinement. Brewed since February 1994!!

Dunzo by Back Channel Brewing Collective

  • ABV: 6.75%
  • IBU: 58
  • Notes: Dunzo was written to be a dank IPA, strung together by a huge nose of fresh strawberry, orange creamsicle, and squeezed citrus. Designed to manipulate the most sought after characteristics of fruit, this fluffy gem goes elbow deep to showcase a bright tropical forest of flavor that will leave you stonefaced.

03 Jun 2020Drinking Socially - S3 Ep. 12 - The Heroes of the Beer Shelf01:26:02

 

We've all responded to Spring 2020 differently than our New Years' resolution planned for — but one thing that has been undeniable is the increase in our consumption of 'core beers'.  The 15 packs, and 24-packs of beers.  The purchases normally reserved for a weekend camp trip, or tailgate.  This episode we dive into some of the earliest of American Craft and re-visit the beers that paved the way for over 8000 Craft Breweries in the US.  As you may expect, they're both amazing examples, and worth picking up the next time you're shopping to stock your fridge.

 

Correction: In this episode Jon talks about a baseball game between the Cleveland Indians and The Texas Texans.  ⚾️   This was a swing and a miss -- the Texas Rangers actually played the Cleveland Indians during the game we reference.  (Thanks Chad!)

 

What We’re Drinking:

Samuel Adams Boston Lager by Boston Beer

https://untappd.com/b/boston-beer-company-samuel-adams-boston-lager/3914

  • ABV: 5%
  • IBU: 30
  • Notes: Samuel Adams Boston Lager® is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoration mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager® also uses only the finest of ingredients including two-row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops.

Pale Ale by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co

https://untappd.com/b/sierra-nevada-brewing-co-pale-ale/6284

  • ABV: 5.6%
  • IBU: 38
  • Notes: Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.

09 Oct 2019Drinking Socially - S2 Ep. 9: Our First Bottle Share01:21:30

What We’re Drinking

Beer #1 - No Time Like the Present by Voodoo Brewing Company (Collab with Equilibrium Brewery)

  • DIPA
  • 7.6% ABV
  • This DIPA is dry hopped at over 5lb/bbl with Nelson Sauvin and Galaxy.
  • Jon Brought this beer to the share because it was hard to find a beer that Harrison and Mike have not already had. Thanks for the Share Edward!

Beer #2 - Supplication by Russian River Brewing Company

  • American Wild Ale
  • 7.75% ABV
  • Brown ale aged in Pinot Noir wine barrels for one year with sour cherries, Brettanomyces yeast, and Lactobacillus & Pedicoccus bacteria.
  • Harrison brought this beer because it was killing him to wait any longer to drink it

Beer #3 - Black Tuesday (2015) - by The Bruery

  • Imperial Stout
  • 19.9% ABV
  • This beer is The Bruerys take on a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. The 2015 edition is the big in many ways, clocking in at 19.9% ABV. Rich caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, burnt wood and anise are just a few of the many flavors in this rich, decadent imperial stout.
  • Mike brought this beer because he is amazing and wanted to make sure he brought the biggest surprise to the table.

Interview

We take a walk down memory lane, diving into Mike’s first “craft beer memory”, and even discuss what he’s ordering to eat after a bottle share. We gain insight into what it’s like trying to keep up with all the new beer, breweries, and trends in the market today.

18 Aug 2021Drinking Socially - S4 Ep. 31: You're Extra Special00:36:22

A very close cousin to an English IPA, ESB was a forerunner catch-all for most early English beers. Ahead of its time, new ESB styles erupted as brewing methods evolved and brewers became more technical. While most still use an English yeast strain to coax out that traditional flavor, you can find American brewers putting their own take on this beer style as well, today. 

This week we're drinking Morland Old Speckled Hen from Greene King to unlock the “You’re Extra Special” badge, earned by checking-in to five different beers with the style of Extra Special / Strong Bitter or English Bitter! We also highlight Jackalope Brewing Company - The Ranch in Nashville, TN as our Verified Venue of the Week, and shout out Rotunda Brewing Company and New Anthem Beer Project for crafting the best beers we had this week.
