Bianca is back! Adopt A Podcast dot Org is really helping this show come along!!! We had picked a bottle of Red Hot Mama last winter down in Florida at Total Wine in Fort Myers Florida. For those of you who don't remember... It was skunked! So much so that we threw out a tweet stating that fact. Well, Sweetwater was not going to let that stand... They quickly contacted us and asked to get a new bottle out ASAP. Wish we could say we got a new show out that fast! Finally, we had the opportunity to taste this one on air... It was worth a second try! Great beer with a much heavier feel than we expected along with nice tart hops. Beers on teh show: Dank Tank Replacement of Red Hot Mama via Sweetwater Brewing Company.

We had recorded this show directly following the last Fox Pub show last month... We had wanted to make sure we put out the last one lickity-split, in order to get the word out on the North-side Beerfest. (Which we heard was awesome!) This show, we get a little more into the doing's and business of the Fox Pub, and get Matt to defect questions left and right. That means we are doing our jobs right? We had a great time, and Rob (Central Illinois' version of Bonus Beer Bob) makes sure we have some comedic interruptions. I have to admit... This show had me smiling all the way through on production. I hope you enjoy it as much I did! G Beers on the show: Stone 15th Anniversary Ale, Schlafly Raspberry Coffee Stout, Boulevard Coffee Ale. On the show:
Thanks to Matt and all the gang for letting us hang out and have a great time talking about beers at an awesome local venue! Make your way there if you get the chance! And don't let them make the ducky noise!!!

Groucho and CHUD were once again part of the craft-beer tasting at the Speakeasy in Pekin IL. We were happy be a part of this fundraiser again. Word on the street is that we will be doing this again on December 4th or 5th. About halfway through the show we get into a great conversation with Shane and Bryan about beer tastes and what people are going for now. On the show:
Look for the Matt Rixner show out soon. Like 1 week!!! Sorry for the delay! I was going to lump it in here... But its not fair to the Fox and Matt to play second fiddle on a podcast!!!

In celebration of the Peoria Craft Beer Week, we get with Matt Rixner of the Fox Pub to talk about this weeks event. CHUD was bumped in lieu of brother CHUMP (Who has been absent since episode 6) to join in with us. Rob the viking also stepped in to make sure we never had an empty glass! Are we a bit subdued? Yeah, probably so. We wanted to keep it focused on The Fox and this weekends beer event. We didn't want to get off on some TBR tangent! Plus, we knew that scaring Matt on the first remote at the bar would be bad for future business! Beers on the show: Solemn Oath Wreckage Master, 2010 3 Floyds Darklord. On the show:
Darklord on the show "cellered" and acquired by Groucho, in a rare attempt to show up Rob. Solemn Oath acquired at the brewery in Chicago by a friend of a friend... And that needs to happen again soon! New theme music, that will probably change again next show provided by a Japanese import copy of Buffalo Daughter, Mutating.

We tried to overstay our welcome with Todd and Christian at the Peoria Brewing company, but they were game for all the nonsense that we were spewing on this episode of TBR. This is a full blown show, don't think its just a filler piece. (Well, aren't they all?) You get a solid 20 minutes of beer content interweaved with talk about "Chud's girlfriend at the time", Clown fears, Stevie Knicks (SP? Didn't care enough to look it up) and Bob Dylan. Sounds like a normal show to us! Thanks again to those guys letting us hang at the Peoria Brewing Company. Thanks for the free samples and we look forward to all the progress reports on the facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/PeoriaBrewingCompany Beers on the show: TBR Pear Trippel, Mikkeller Beer Hop Breakfast, Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer American Imperial Stout.
Beers on the show, Honey Wheat courtesy of Peoria Brewing Company, Homebrew provided by Groucho and CHUD, Beer Hop Breakfast and Clown Shoes Vampire Slayer bought at Friar Tuck in Peoria Illinois. |

So, when you go shooting your mouth off about some guys creating a brewery in Peoria... And you do that for a few months in a row... You better be ready to step up to the challenge if they call you out on your opinions! That's what Todd from Peoria Brewing Company did a few weeks ago when he notified Groucho that he was wrong about any deal they might have with a local distributing company. Groucho and Todd agreed that a fair compromise, using the "dollars to donuts" premise would be a box of Spudnuts. Unfortunately, Groucho had to welch! Spudnuts ran out early on the weekend we decided to get together and do a show. But, Todd and Christian were still kind enough to let us stop by the soon-to-be brewery. Now, here is the rub and scary part about this show for us... As professional amateurs... What if their beer sucks? Do we play is off and be kind? Do we suffer through the show and give them average marks? Will we lose any indie cred by kissing the ass of a bad brewer? THANK GOD WE DIDN'T HAVE TO FIND OUT! Todd and Christian have created some great beers to start the brewery. It was truly a joy to drink them all! The Milk Stout and Rye IPA were standouts. We think everyone will enjoy what these guys are doing right off the bat! So, here is the first show we did with the guys. I say first, because immediately following this show, we will have a traditional show with Todd and Christian as guest. This show is VERY focused on Peoria Brewing Company and what it means to Peoria and the Brewers. If you are expecting Groucho and CHUD acting like idiots or dialing daleks... Move on to the next show! If you want to know about the guys are who are bringing fresh beer to Peoria... Listen up! Thanks again Peoria Brewing Company for being awesome hosts! We are glad your beers rocked! On the show:
Recorded on Location at the Peoria Brewing Company!

Throwin' Wrenches Podcast
Here is the podcast from two guys who have knowledge and love of the automotive industry and anything car related. Eric Stahl and Daryl Scott. Every episode is chock full of hard-hitting world, national, and local news. We also feature segments off the beaten path from other shows... "Cars of the weak", where we open up our virtual checkbook and mentally purchase our favorite vehicle for sale on Craigslist, Bring a Trailer, or any other online selling portal. Sometimes we break into song with Carlo Goshen... Or have a "Moment of Musk", where Eric gives us the rundown of the current doings of a Mr. Elon. Daryl's "Riffing Zone", where we dig into our inner "get your ball off my lawn" and find something to complain about. We record a few times a month and love feedback. Be sure to contact us with any questions or comments we can discuss on the show.
