Hey all.. yep we're still alive... and getting ready to revive somethings. In particular, we're looking at starting a brewing club in the Delaware area. That will surely give us plenty to talk about.. so stay tuned...
We've also been sampling lots of beer and wine... as Charles and I are again making money like grownups. It's a good thing. Geeze, did I just say that?

The age old practice of the server filling the wine glass has "finally" comes into question. Here's a great article on the subject. A stern, yet polite action can save all of the good wine from waste.

John Harvard's is a semi local, east coast brew pub. They've been around in my area for several years. Recently I was in the Wayne, PA pub and enjoyed several beers. Of note, the West Coast Stout.
The beer was consumed straight from a tap right there at the brewery. Brew pubs have the advantage of perfect storage and transportation (none) of the beer. Personally, I've always felt beer was best in this environment.

Yards Brewing Company is a fine brewery in the Philadelphia area. Spending as much time as I do here, it's often that I enjoy some of their products. Who doesn't like a fresh, local brewed beer.
This review entails a single bottle of the Yards Brewing Company's Philadelhpia Pale Ale. It's a beer I had many times. Check out the review below.

Charles and JT issue this long overdue episode with JT sitting in Beijing, China and Charles in Eastern PA, USA. Skype cuts in and out, of course, yet there is great conversation about whatever came to mind. Yep, that's right folks, we're up to new content or at least old content that you have not yet heard.
JT goes off on Chinese Beer. It's not bad, but it's not all good either. All in all, this seems to work. Credit to Skype for being able to handle this conversation over 8,000 miles or so, as the planes fly, anyway.
Beers Discussed:
Yanjing Beer (Premium) (Beijing Local Beer)
Yards Brewing Company: Philadelphia Pale Ale, Love Stout

While dining with a friend at an Italian restaurant, we enjoyed this bottle of wine. From the famed Napa region in California, Turnbull usually turns out great wines. This 2003 merlot was solid but not amazing, as I'm accustomed to.

Again, unfortunately, I am not prepared to review this very fine beer. It should suffice to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this beer and it matched very well with a dish of tortellini in a sun dried tomato cream sauce. It's color was rich, it's flavor solid with a touch of sweetness on the tongue with minimal after taste. An excellent brew. If you have it available, give it a try.

While not enough for a full review, I thought I'd mention this fine beer. While dining with a friend this evening at an Italian restaurant in Norwalk, CT this beer caught my eye.

The 10 Year Anniversary Brew from Iron Hill is now available, at least in the Media, PA location. For those across the country, Iron Hill is a small chain of Brew-Pubs that offers solid beer for the beer enjoying public in the brew pub model. They describe it as a "dark Belgian style abbey ale."
Admittedly, this review is a bit rushed, and I'd like to get back to re-taste the beer. When that happens, an updated review will be published.

To all our listeners... Sorry about the recent outage. We experienced a server error that's been difficult to recover from. We're on our way however, so look for content to come back up soon. We're going to have to rebuild our RSS feeds so there may be some downloading of old content.
We're also going to add forums and a community environment so we can host and enjoy open chats and communications with you all about some of our "hobbies".
Also, our user list has been lost. If you had an account or would like one, please feel free to go ahead and get setup. You're going to need one to participate in the forums anyway.

Some of the best burps to be heard yet. Not that Charles outdoes himself, but there are some great ones on this show. JT and Charles’ normal banter continues including brief updates on our home brew. We finish by revisiting a mocha porter that we reviewed on an earlier show. There is no particular reason for this, it just happened. By the way, where is Jeff Nemcher?
On this weeks show:
Yards – Saison
Homebrew Revisited
Rogue’s – Mocha Porter

In one of our longest shows, JT and Charles pick up where they left off with conversation about beer in China… a Chimay as well as a quadruple fermented brew. We want to apologize up front for being off topic so much on this show, but, hey… we had a good time talking about more than just beer for a change. There is a bit of post-production work that did not make it in. For that we apologize.
Additionally, we discuss China and it’s beers, not to mention the liquor control movements regarding wine sales across the country.

Brooklyn Brewing – Brown Ale
Allagash – Triple
Casco Bay Brewing Company – Summer Ale
Rogue – Morimoto Hazelnut Signature Ale

Putting back a couple of beers with Jeff Nemcher from Cooking on the Radio (http://www.cookingontheradio.com), we go into the decidedly dark world of porters and stouts. Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter throws down the gauntlet in a challenge to all other porters. Complementary in quality, Mackeson’s Triple X Stout is an amazing beer for its price.

Mackeson – Triple X Stout

How often are dark beers enjoyed in the heat of summer? Not often. For certain, they are not the obvious choice when reaching into the cooler on a hot afternoon. But for Wild Goose’s Porter and Oatmeal Stout, an exception should be made—they are that good. And if the temperature is simply unbearable, Wild Goose’s India Pale Ale is a fine thirst quencher (it is a tasty IPA, too).
Smithwick’s, a Guinness-brewed beer, is also mentioned. “Half and halfs” anybody?

Sampling several beers from Dogfish Head, we find a broad spectrum of offerings that range from the hoppy to desert-like. This Milton, Delaware (U.S.)-based brewery puts out high quality product.
