"This is a 60 percent true story."   "I would have this with the Queen." "The dead one?"   Keryl and Jamie close out 2025 by clearing the decks (fridge) of some ciders and beer that have been waiting to make their on mic appearance.   Come for the story of their accidental cider side quest during their best friends' wedding weekend; stay for the news of Keryl's out-of-state adventure.    While the Biddies will mostly be in different places in 2026, the magic of technology (and, uh, airplanes) means the pod will continue on. So get ready for some more sips and strong opinions in '26.

"This is the worst podcast ever for me to be on."   "That sounds like cider: weird wine plus apple juice."   "I only get my cigars from small businesses."   Back in February, Laurie joined the Biddies all the way from New York for Jamie's birthday, Laurie's half birthday, and Keryl's… general enjoyment… to finally be on the pod! A trip down memory lane, an argument over who really supports small businesses, and a new nickname… plus a very lively discussion over the can design. Laurie is the second guest to spontaneously do ASMR (why does this keep happening?!) so stay tuned because maybe this needs to be a new segment. Come for the beer, stay for the tingles!   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*    Keryl – 3.75  Jamie – 3.75  Laurie – 2.50     GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast   Thanks for drinking!

"I like Halloween as a celebration of Satan and evil. Big fan of that."   Happy Halloween from The Biddies! We're feeling super into spooky season this year, so enjoy our annual Fall/Halloween/Pumpkin episode at least two weeks earlier than it would normally release.   This year's offering is a twist on the ubiquitous Cali Creamin' -- featuring a can with the cutest lil' flaming pumpkin that you ever did see! Jesse tells us about pulling off THREE group costumes in a single Halloween night. And, oh yeah, everything you know about cream ales might be wrong! Did this beer get us in the Halloween spirit, or are we flying the night sky on our broomsticks, still in search of the perfect blood sacrifice to quench our thirst… we mean beer, pumpkin beer, definitely beer, we only drink beer.   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*    Keryl – 2.25  Jamie – 1.25  Jesse – 3.75    GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast   Thanks for drinking!

The first episode of 2024 is finally here! (Recorded… a while back. But let's ignore that part.)   "2024 is awesome so far. I feel like that comment is not gonna age well." "I was double-fisting Goose and cran and my hands were never empty." "I need cameras on this show!"    We've had this one brewing for a while, pun intended!! Better late than never… right? Look, we are late to the party for the year but we showed up and that's what matters. Okay, enough of that. This episode features a fruited sour from a local brewery that we are absolutely gaga for – Crowns & Hops, which is Black-owned, Woman-owned, Veteran-owned, and dare we say… owning the craft beer space?  And we finally nabbed Acquah Dansoh, who regales us with tales of sneaking his first sip of beer, the chokehold that Heineken has on Ghana, and drinking... Zimas! Acquah dives into his journey to becoming a craft beertender and why you should ask your bartender more questions. No, really, ask questions. You just might find a drink you actually love! He also tries to convince us to become YouTubers, and one of us was not having it…   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*    Keryl – 4.5 Jamie – 4 Acquah – 2.5      GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast   Thanks for drinking!

Happy Holidays from the Biddies!!!  "Statistically people drink the most in Wisconsin and BOY do they let you know it!" "I like the specialness of Christmas music. The fact that it only comes around every once in a while, like the McRib."   For the first time since 2016, we welcome Grant Lyon back on the pod. Because when we think Christmas, we think Grant. Tune in for some Christmas tunes, Big Dad Energy, and some really big New Beers Resolutions (TM pending). Of course, we couldn't say farewell to 2023 without a proper tribute to Anchor Christmas Ale. After a monumental 127 years, Anchor Brewing closed in 2023. We shed some tears, share some beers, and promise to cherish every brew with you. Be safe, and as always… thanks for drinking!   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*   Keryl – 3.5   Jamie – 3.25 Grant – 2.5  (GRINCH!!!)   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast

Happy Halloween! (close enough) JAMIE: We should build a cannon in the shape of a giant beer and then we use the propulsion of the beer… to launch the pumpkin. KERYL: I don't think Jamie ever took physics.   BEN: Growing up a lot of my costumes were dictated by what my sister wanted to be. I was the Beast for like three years because she wanted to be Belle.   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*   Keryl – 4.75 Jamie – 4.5 Ben – 5.0   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast

"You could say I get it from my mother, but I think my mother gets it from me."   "You two gals inspired us to think about the beer universe more."   "It's as exciting to have a really great beer as it is a really fantastic bottle of wine."   We've had dads of the pod, siblings of the pod, but on Episode 72 we finally land a Mom-of-the-Pod… she needs no introduction, but she got one anyway… the one, the only, Jackie Tunkel!    Jamie's mom joins us for a blonde ale and regales us with tales of sipping sangria and singing at the bar back in her day. We discuss the very eye-catching label design and Jackie's journey into the craft beer world, which was inspired by the Biddies.   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*   Keryl – 4 Jamie – 3.75  Jackie – 3.75   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast   Thanks for drinking!
