Christmas beers are a special treat. This year, Mark and John unwrap not one, but two special treats. Deschutes Jubelale and Great Lakes’ Cookie Exchange Milk Stout.

This time on DD, we go where we rarely venture – into the seas of the sours. Despite Mark’s better judgment, we crack open a Rodenbach Alexander, a special brand of sour.

IPA’s have a long, sorted history of shipwrecks, colonialism, and flippin’ the bird to Coors. This week, Mark and John explore India Pale Ales with Bell’s Two Hearted. It will be a ride!

This time, Mark and John open Dale’s Pale Ale from Oskar Blues Brewery while discussing the sorted history of pilsners.

In this episode we spin and crack open an Allagash White and dive into amber waves of grain!

This episode, we opened two Christmas ales – Great Lakes’ Christmas Ale and Anchor Brewing’s Christmas ale.

Hybrid beers come in all manner of styles: cream ales, altbier, delicious Kolsch. In this episode, Mark and John hoist anchor on a quintessential California Common - Anchor Steam Beer.

Dark beer can be friendly beer. This week, Mark and John explore the dark side of lagers, a style with a very old pedigree.

It’s that toasty, malty time of year, when the beers are rich, deep red, sweet, and frothy. We’re talking bocks this time on DD, one of our favorite styles.

We pop the top off of Bell’s Kalamazoo stout, a rich roasty version of this style. We also dive into the origins of the various stout styles.
