Episode 084 – Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout

Dave Martorana — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:59:44 +0000

The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery in Farmville, NC, named for the founder’s love for philosophy and visual tricks, turns out a Milk Stout – one in a line of their self-proclaimed speciality, dark beers. To an odd contrary, their Milk Stout is actually lighter in color than most stouts, but still turns in a great flavor – roasted, coffee, slightly dry, and smooth!

Episode 081 – Uinta Anglers Pale Ale, Stoudt’s Fat Dog Stout

Dave Martorana — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:14:42 +0000

NOTE: Be sure to stick around after the credits for some blooper fun!

Yet again, we find ourselves somehow intertwined with Uinta Brewing Company out of Utah, who have yet to disappoint us. This time we try out their Anglers Pale Ale, a gentle ale that’s not too hoppy. Once again, it gets good scores.

Next we tackle Stoudt’s Fat Dog from one of Johnny’s favorite breweries. The Fat Dog is an American Imperial Stout, or an Imperial Oatmeal Stout, etc. The big bottle with the champagne cork definitely caused us some issues, but after we got passed that, we got to try a fantastic beer that also scored nice and high!

Be sure to stick around after the credits to watch us struggle with the cork

The outtakes, on their own, in case you don’t want to watch all the way to the end

Episode 034 – Happy New Years 2009! – Kronenberg 1664 and Young’s Double Chocolate Stout

Dave Martorana — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:55:37 +0000

We (Dave and Johnny) ring in 2009 with two possibilities for your New Year’s party – a mass-consumable but tasty euro-pale lager, Kronenberg 1664, and one of the best beers we’ve tried since we started Two Guys On Beer – a milk stout – Young’s Double Chocolate Stout.

Episode 030 – Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout, St. Feuillien Cuvee De Noel

Dave Martorana — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 22:02:31 +0000

We take a look at Breckenridge’s Oatmeal Stout and are slightly disappointed, but perhaps due to prior expectations. The Cuvee De Noel, from St. Feuillien, scores much better, but not perfect. Perhaps we were just crabby.

Episode 024 – Thanksgiving 2008 – Founder’s Breakfast Stout, Smutty Nose Pumpkin Ale

Dave Martorana — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:44:29 +0000

We wanted to toss a couple of possible Thanksgiving-related beers your way. We picked a Pumpkin Ale (because it’s really the end of the season for them) and a nice hearty stout warmer with chocolate and coffee. Although the Pumpkin Ale didn’t really stand up, the stout ended up to be wonderful. Check it out!

And Happy Thanksgiving!

Episode 018 – Triumph!

Dave Martorana — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 16:44:35 +0000

Johnny and Dave head over to Triumph Brewery in Philadelphia PA (other locations: New Hope, PA, Princeton, NJ) and review the entire selection of beers on tap in under 15 minutes!

Episode 001 – Two Guys On Beer

Dave Martorana — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:13:38 +0000

We perform a “Stout Shootout!” between Murphy’s, Guinness, and Beamish, to determine which is the best Irish brew. What better idea than 3 Irish stouts on St. Patrick’s Day??

Watch, and be surprised as to which comes out on top! (Or for those in the know, don’t be surprised.)
