Corporate Shills?  Not us.  This is one of those rare times when we try out a beer that has been sent to Beer Report Studios.  It sounded interesting and was close enough to justify a little "pimping" by the show.  You should be able to find this at any liquor depot in the Northwoods of the upper Midwest.  It appears to be readily available.  Enjoy.

You all should be thanking Groucho for the edit on this show.  We clocked in a show that was 70 minutes before the chopping began.  The politics of the minute were not compelling enough to listen to for me... So I sure as shit was not going to lay that on you!  Your welcome!  Just know this.  We are both Independents and hope that both sides can work together to get something done in this country!

Beers on the show:  Pearl Street Brewery Linalool, 10 Barrell Brewing Company JOE IPA, St Peters English Porter.

On the show:

1. Why Groucho does not shill.
2. Mudvayne talk until Groucho shuts CHUD down.
3. 2016 Election Commentary.
4. Beer Advocate.  Shoot me now!
5. Podcasting makes us self righteous beer snobs?
6. Groucho's Trail Repair.
7. Tantric?  Is that a sexual thing?
8. Studio A memories.
9. End of politics talk for the year!

Thanks to Pearl Street Brewing for donating the Linalool.  10 Barrel beer was picked up at random liquor store in Colorado.  St Peters picked up at Friar Tuck in Peoria IL.

Groucho comes back from San Diego and brings back some fresh Stone Brewing Beer.  Not Arrogant Brewing...  That would be confusing.  Wait a second... That is confusing!  What the Hell are they doing out there in Escondido with the brewery names???   Thats for a different show.  

Anyway.  Groucho brings back a "crowler" of Stone Brewing Ripper IPA. Its a great way to start a new string of shows!  

This show was recorded on International Podcast Day, September 30th 2016.  For whatever that is worth!

On the show:

1. Crowler??? 
2. San Diego Homecoming of sorts?
3. Groucho cant pour a beer!
4. Kevin's excuses to abandon us do not hold water.
5. Flashback...  Dude Night Podcast and some TBR history.
6. Stone Brewing Restaurant is great for kids.
7. Lost Abbey Tequila Farmhouse Ale.  Amazing.  Seek it out.
8. Groucho's love of the 5oz sample.
9. 32 North Brewing gets us a beer on the house.
10. Little Miss Brewing.
11. Groucho has forgotten how good a Pliny is.
12. Watermelon Dorado gets bashed again...  Sorry... Cant refrain.

14. Podcast life skills.
15. Political Talk.  Debate Talk.
16. "Trump was on coke" says the Chud.
17. Election predictions?
18. We wind the show up in politics...  Sorry!  
19. Chud doesnt dig the Stone as much as Groucho.

After a great step forward in the recording of episode 3, we take 2 steps back!

We tried 2 microphones, and the gain ran amuck! While it had crossed our minds to scrap this whole recording, there are a few bits that make it redeeming.

See manifest below.

• Beer of comment: Old Speckled Hen, Flying Dog Pale Ale, Hobgoblin and Rolling Rock.
• Ms. "Drunk Dial" calls up little CHUD for a little cross country nookie.
• Calling all other TRHH listeners "out"

Groucho sits down with Kevin (Harvest Cafe), Kyle (RJ Distributing Cicerone) and Stephen Hale (Schlafly Brewing Company Brewer) at the Harvest Cafe before their beer dinner with Schlafly Brewing.

This one starts off a bit slow...  I think that comes with Groucho not having warmed up with several beers and doing the show at the end of the night as we normally do.  Stephen Hale from Schlafly is probably one of the best guests we have ever had on the show, and its a shame we only had 39 minutes of interview time.  Next time we are gunning for that 4 hour show about all things happening in the brewing world.

Heres the biggest shame in this episode...  Its recorded before dinner.  You cant even imagine how good Chef Terry's dinner was.  It was one of the best dinners I have done with any brewery or restaurant.  That is saying a lot.  Kudo's to Harvest Cafe for putting on an excellent event and bringing together The Beer Report, Kyle and Stephen for this show.

On the show:

1. The Kilt!
2. Owning the St. Louis market.
3. Lawn mower beer.
4. Kolsch Education.
5. Glassware talk.
6. Groucho slams Watermelon Dorado by Ballast Point.  See, I didn't edit this out Kyle!
7. Beer Bubble!
8. Distribution Philosophy.

You can get Schlafly beers at most decent liquor stores in Illinois and parts of the Midwest.  Yeah, Stephen spelled it out... We are special here...  And some of you cant get their stuff!

Theme song as always by Too Much Joy.  "Drunk and In Love".  Better than any top 40 song of the same name.  Word is... Tim Quirk and the boys were recording a few weeks ago.  This could be a glorious year if we hear something new from them.  www.toomuchjoy.com

Beer on the show: 2013 Goose Island Bourbon County Barley-wine.

On the show:

1. The Bourbon County Rage.
2. Chud's cellaring philosophy.
3. PABN.  (Secret Handshake required)  Whats up with the chugging?  CHUD recommends burning dollar bills.
4. Consistency is an accomplishment!  80% of success is attendance?  Who said that?
5.  Axel Rose sitting.
6. The new Tick series.  Griffin Newman who plays Arthur let us down!
7. Marc Maron Podcast and Show.
8. Gary Schandling tribute.
9. Goo Goo Doll's...  John Mayer...  Not Jack Johnson!!!  Dave Matthews Band?
10. Buffalo Wild Wings...  Hooters girls in Peoria...  Sad times.
11. Arrogant Bastard cans?
12. Boston.
13. Fireball???  Why?
14. Meat sweats.
15. Aftershock is a hookup lock!  In 1997 at least!
16. Tindr...  Yeah...  What do two married guys know about this?
17. Chud digging on Frank Zappa...  Then comparing it to South Park.
18. Trump, Clinton...  OMG.  Sanders?
19. Fracking.  Groucho and CHUD break it down non-scientifically.
20. The Future...
21. Dont use self check.  Dont use restaurants that use robots.  Use businesses that support local jobs.
22. If your going to be a sh*tbag... Your going to reap the rewards.  The moral of Krampus.
23. A last dash of CBR love.

This lovely beer purchased in Pekin Illinois at Broadway Liquors.  Tell them the Beer Report sent you... They will probably ask you WTF that means!

Its been a while since we sat down for a PURE Beer Report...  Finally, Groucho and CHUD sit down and have a few beers and ramble about all things common and uncommon about art, Pekin and beer. TBR 82?  Its a smattering of Facebook videos from the Peoria Beerfest... We will see what we can make of those later.

Hey... When its the day of the beerfest, where are you gonna eat breakfast???  A the Fox Pub of course!  Matt Rixner and his crew always serve up an amazing English breakfast on Saturdays, and its a great base layer before hitting the VIP tent.

On this show, Groucho, Chud and TBR Photographer Ken eat, drink and talk about:

• Periscope
• LinkdIn.  Whats the point?
• Richard Branson has now clue about the struggle anymore.
• Trump?

CHUD is home with the Chudlette and could not make the recording!  Hopefully, this is one of very few shows ever recorded without him!

Also on the show is Kyle from RJ Distributing.  He is the second Cicerone in the Peoria area.  We enjoy some banter between Kyle and Kevin later in the show as they discuss tap politics.
