383: Jay Kelly/Train Dreams with Guest Adam Beam

This week, we hit a double feature of Netflix’s latest mood-soaked meditations, Jay Kelly and Train Dreams, with guest Adam Beam. Both films lean hard into lush cinematography, sweeping landscapes, and the quiet poetry of a life unfolding… but they take those ingredients to two very different destinations. To pair with all that visual beauty, the guys crack open a couple of beers with complicated pasts. First up: Magnetic Disturbance from Roughtail Brewing—an IPA Joe grabbed last week without peeking at the bottom of the can: It's two and a half years old. (Whoops. Not all art ages gracefully.) Fortunately, redemption comes in the form of a 2024 Goose Island Bourbon County Macaroon Stout, a beer that absolutely benefits from a year of patience and barrel-kissed maturity. Thoughtful films, adventurous beers, and a blunt verdict from Dave and Joe: See Train Dreams NOW.
