Beers with Dad Podcast

Welcome to the podcast about being a dad, enjoying craft beer, and being a dad that enjoys craft beer. Spawned from the rite of passage of a young man sharing his first beer with his father, this family-friendly show doesn’t debate difficult topics (like politics, money, or religion) but does discuss the roles that dads can play in their children’s lives. Every week, 3 dads get together, talk about a different style of beer, taste a beer on air, and tell stories about their fatherhood and craft beer journeys. No snobbery. No judgment. No controversy. Just great beer, a few good stories, and plenty of dad jokes.

May 17, 2022 • Beers with Dad team • Season 2 • Episode 11

Chris comes through on Mother's Day and attends a fabulous Kentucky Derby watch party in Lexington. Nick also had a successful Mother's Day but is a little let down by one of his favorite go-to eateries. John treats his wife to a beautiful, home-cooked tomahawk chop steak for Mother's Day and is blown away by the new outdoor space at Celis Brewing. We talk about interesting beers we've had this last week including a single-hop IPA from West 6th Brewing, an award-winning pilsner from Meanwhile Brewing, and an insane sundae smoothie sour from Drekker Brewing.

Then we shift from our regularly scheduled programming to our Mexican-style Lager and Michelada showdown. We taste, review, and rank our offerings as stand-alone beers and then use them to make micheladas which we also taste, review, and rank. John and Nick sample offerings from Pinthouse, Austin Beerworks, Tupps, and a surprise from Martin House. Chris tries offerings from West 6th Brewing and Country Boy Brewing. Then all three of us try a macro offering in a Modelo. We did all find that our rankings for the stand-alone tastings were not the same as our rankings for the same beers in micheladas.
