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!

*DISCLAIMER: We recorded this episode in January 2023*  Sorry, editing takes a little longer than drinking.   “This cider is the best cider I’ve ever tasted.”  “That is the future that we need, not Chat GPT.”’ “I have so many stories about kumquats.”   The journey to this episode starts in San Luis Obispo, involves a camping trip, a freshly painted sign, and that one time the Biddies met the Broads.    BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*  Keryl – 4.5 Jamie – 4.75 Maya – 5   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE FROM THE BIDDIES!!! AMY: Happy to be here! JAMIE: Happy New Year! KERYL: She said… "happy to be here…"   “They f*cking knew what they were doing with the 9 percent…”   BONUS SEGMENT:  For the second year running, the Biddies compare two years of Anchor Christmas Ales (2021 and 2022). The tree is different, but does the beer taste the same to you?   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*   - Keryl: 3.5 - Jamie: 4 - Amy: 3.75   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast   THANKS FOR DRINKING!

“I’m Hocus Pocus Shmocused!” “The guy that married us came out of a coffin.”   Happy Halloween from the Biddies! This episode features our first (but certainly not our last) 100 percent gluten-free beer. Guest Tierney Drach – yes, that’s “Drach as in Dracula” – joins us for our annual spooky Halloween episode. And they might just be Halloween’s number 1 fan, so it’s a match made in… hell. (Get it? Get it?) No, seriously, Tierney got married at a haunted house in Vegas and tells us all about it! Plus we discuss the plot of the original Hocus Pocus and our best Halloween costumes.   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*  - Keryl: 3.5 - Jamie: 2 - Tierney: 1.5   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast

“Most of my drinking stories actually come from Philly.”   We are BACK and BEER-ER than ever! Listen, we recorded this episode several months ago but couldn’t get it to air until today and let us tell you… it is worth the wait. Spoiler alert: This might be one of the highest rated beers we have ever had on the pod? This beer is pure art, and the artists are 3 Nipo-Brazilian Women Brewers -- Maíra Kimura, Yumi Shimada and Fernanda Ueno. And you KNOW we matched this great pilsner with a GREAT GUEST. Jim Chaliz regaled us with some wild drinking stories, explained what it means to just order “the lager” in Philly, and told us about his life as a… secret boxer?!?   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT*  - Jamie: 4.75 - Keryl: 4.75 - Jim: 4.75   GET IN TOUCH: Instagram – @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE BIDDIES!!!!! 2021 is almost over, but we couldn’t let the year go by without releasing our annual holiday episode! We have a lively discussion about the absolutely gorgeous can design and an even livelier debate about the precise shade of white used in said design. (Is the can white white? Or white white white? Let us know what YOU think!) BONUS SEGMENT: Last year we vowed to save a bottle of Anchor Brewing’s 2020 Christmas Ale and compare it to their 2021 release… tune in around the 48:30 minute mark for that extra special content! Stay safe out there, biddies, and as always... thanks for drinking!   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT* - Jamie: 4.75 - Keryl: 4 - Surbhi: 5   GET IN TOUCH: Facebook - @drinkingbiddiespodcast Instagram - @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (a month late!) Did you think a nearly 2 year pandemic could keep us from recording? Ummm, kind of, we haven’t recorded much. And in true 2021 fashion, disaster strikes – halfway through the episode we discover a scandalous Drinking Biddies first – we somehow drank expired beer?!? But despite the expired beer, never fear loyal listeners, ’cause we are BACK, VAXXED, AND DRUNKER THAN EVER!   BEER RATINGS *SPOILER ALERT* - Jamie: 3 - Keryl: 3.25 - Em: 3.25   GET IN TOUCH: Facebook - @drinkingbiddiespodcast Instagram - @drinkingbiddiespodcast Email – [email protected] Untappd – DrinkingBiddiesPodcast
