Ben & Jerry & Milkshakes
May 24, 2021 20:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MBDid you know that one of the Founders of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream has severe Anosmia and lacks any sense of smell or taste? That might explain why they thought it would be a good idea to team up with 4 Pines Brewing and create a Ben & Jerrys styled beer. Will it be half-baked or is it an Americone Dream? We also play a game of thrones and break open a can of possible redemption for Moon Dog, will it be a Kings Landing or a shameful march through the streets? Plus we ask the question, will S...

Blue Beer (Da Ba Dee)
May 17, 2021 20:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBOn episode 30 of the Pouring old men podcast we try a Blue Beer, which put me in the mood for listening to Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. Until I actually listened to the song and remembered just how ear piercing awful that song is. It's a real ear worm and that tune has been stuck in my head for over a week now. There was a lot of good music that came out back in the late 90's and that song isn't one of it. I wonder what happened to those guys? Well if they ever open a brewery there is a m...

Pitty brings a touch of Sar...
A Grissette is not a Gazelle
May 03, 2021 20:00 - 54 minutes - 37.3 MBIt's not to often we come across a beer that is new to us so we were pretty excited to have a crack at one of the new releases from Ballistics newly launched Bunker Project which is definitely not called a Gazelle. We also get a little bit radioactive standing a bit too close to a cosmic microwave, and we check out Revels Double Scooped new releases. Thanks again for supporting the show, remember to give us a review on iTunes, bonus points if you include a Dad Joke as part of the review.
First Blood, Spilt Milk
April 26, 2021 20:00 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBThree beers against three men They just wanted something tasty to drink. They never bought a beer they couldn't finish.

Liberty and Nectar

Happy Valley Mystery Beers

Shooter's Phantom Wipe
March 08, 2021 13:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MBOn this episode Russ, Pitty and Virtual Warren encounter...The Brown Note, from Against the Grain Brewery. While the can certainly adorns one of the most eye catching pieces of artwork we have laid eyes on, it is what's on the inside that counts. But how about the beer, will it wipe away their smiles? Will it leave a nasty stain on it's review? Or will it shine bright like a golden nugget? Meanwhile Shooters Juicy IPA Tee's off from Ferel Brewing, plus we check out a brand new release fro...

Ants in our Flamingo Pants
February 22, 2021 14:00 - 54 minutes - 34.3 MB"Waiter!

Crazy Days with a Mango Haze
February 15, 2021 17:00 - 54 minutes - 37.1 MBTurns out consumption of a Hazy Mango IPA does odd things to the Pouring Old Men, because the old timers get a bit...shall we say...distracted on this episode. Maybe something in Mangoes doesn't mix well with their old timer medication. Or maybe it is the return of Warren in non-virtual form that has the Old Timers a little bit rattled. It should also be noted that despite the pending arrival of Valentines Day there is barely a mention of it, so it is probably a fair bet that none of the P...

We take an look at the results of the kiwi version of the hottest 100 and somehow get sidetracked and start going on about cricket and New Zealand wildlife, how bizarre. So ki...
Relax, It's Just a Pickle
February 01, 2021 19:00 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBWhen news surfaced of Sealegs Brewing making their own version of a Pickle Beer we were pretty excited to see how it stacked up against the famous Garage Project original. Pretty sure that makes us the first podcast to have tried both of them...so be sure to catch our expert (?) opinion.
