Beer Buzz Radio – Christmas Dinner Pairings, New Mother’s Beer Release, and more fun

On the December 11th, 2011 episode of Beer Buzz, brought to you by Mother’s Brewing Company, we cover a lot of ground as it relates to beer and food pairing. Most notably, we walk through several dishes you may be having at Christmas Dinner and list a few beers which would be nice to drink with that particular dish.

We also have a great Beer Lover’s Library for you, in which we cover Randy Mosher’s Tasting Beer, which is an excellent guide to understanding where the flavors in your beer come from and what different forces contribute to the final flavor of your beer. He also has a great section on Beer and Food pairing, as well.

There’s also a great Brew’s Clues question, a haiku beer review for Boulevard’s Bourbon Barrel Quad, and a Drink This! segment on Mother's Foggy Notion.

#TheSession - A Dickens of a Topic - Ghosts of Beermas Past, Present, and Future (with Xmas Ale Recipe)

I was on Twitter the other day and saw an interesting idea. It's called The Session, and it is a way to have a conversation across several independent blogs. Apparently, there are a lot of beer bloggers who try to come up with a themed post each month to post on the same day. This month’s theme caught my eye. It’s all about A Christmas Carol – the theme of past, present and future as it relates to beer. Look for the tag #TheSession to see other posts. Since this is a brewing blog (when I have time to brew), I’ll limit mine to beers I’ve brewed. Each of these was or will be consumed at Christmas time, so we’ll call them the Ghosts of Beermas Past, Present, and Future.

Beer Buzz Radio - Thanks to beer, help start a brewery, and why we should be allowed to drink outside.

I always run late on posting these. If you want to be updated as soon as the podcasts post to TAGsgf.com, you should probably just visit this page and subscribe to it as an RSS feed. You’ll get your updates sooner, but without my inane commentary.

On the November 27th episode of Beer Buzz, brought to you by Mother’s Brewing Company, we discussed why we are thankful for beer. There’s a sizable list, and most of it is surprising if you don’t know your history. This is easily one of the geekiest episodes we’ve had so far, because we cover a lot of historical trivia about beer.

In addition, I tell you how you can become a part of an Ozarks Brewery by donating to Horseshoe Bend Brewing Company in The Lake of the Ozarks. Go to their indiegogo page to watch a great video and find out what cool things you can get for helping them get their brewery off the ground. The donation tiers start at only $10, so it may be a cool way to start your Christmas shopping.

Speaking of which, we’ll be covering some interesting gift ideas for Christmas on this week’s show. Tune in and find out what to buy your brew-loving buddy.
