Upbeat Brew Review
We're Jon and Luke, the Windholz Brothers. On this podcast, we review craft beer. Our process uses a combination of multiple sensory evaluations, adding a couple variations of our own. We evaluate 5 main categories, Visual - Aroma - Taste - Mouthfeel - and Drinkability, each having sub-categories for elaboration. We’d love for you to follow along at home. For a copy of our Evaluation Sheet, email us at [email protected]. If you'd like to support the podcast, we have hats and glasses for sale, or we can send you a few stickers for free, just email us your order!

Episode 10 - Our Favorite IPAs
It's Friday!  For our 10th Episode (you heard me, 10 EPISODES! woo), we have our friend Josh joining us!  We each chose one of our favorite IPAs to bring on the podcast for 'formal' review.  Josh also brought endless movie knowledge.  We discuss movies, TV shows, music, the spoken word of Bill Shatner, ageless Paul Rudd, Star Trek, sports, and of course, beer (duh!).  Thank you for sticking with us for 10 episodes.  I hope you keep listening for the next 100 (or however long we keep 'casting).  If you'd like to support the podcast, buy a hat or 2, a tulip glass or 5, grab a couple stickers to slap on your car, beer fridge, desk, laptop, etc.  But most of all, tell your friends & fam!  Thank you, from the bottom of my blackened heart.  Cheers!    For more info on the beers featured in this episode, visit: pryesbrewing.com badweatherbrewing.com fultonbeer.com steeltoebrewing.com ***WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO ANY OF THE MUSIC PLAYED ON THIS EPISODE*** --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/upbeatbrewreview/message
