EPISODE #99.5: Happy Holidays From The Beer Is Fundamental Show/Dogfish Head Utopia Is Really Good

This is not episode 100. This is episode 99.5. We wanted to do a show before the Holidays. We also want to introduce a new move to the show. We usually We pop open a beer after the first commercial break. However, we want to get into the beer at the beginning. That way if you are drinking with us, we can be drinking with you because we know that you are more than likely drinking before the show and you are definitely not waiting until we get to the first break. Also, this way, if we have more than one beer, we can spread it out amongst the show.  So, the beer that we have tonight is the Dogfish Head Utopias Barrel Aged World Wide Stout. The Dogfish Head Utopia is the Sam Adams little brother. The result is a jet-black, rich and roasty beer with balanced notes of espresso, cocoa, sherry and vanilla that clocks in at 17.3% ABV. There is a serious issue in the beer industry and we don’t know how this is going to turn out. There is a serious Aluminum and Can Shortage hitting the beer and soda industries. In this episode, we have a snippet of a song from Solemn Brigham (@solemnbrigham). He is 1/2 of the group Marlowe. His music has been featured on Gatorade’s G is for Greatness ad campaign, 7-Eleven’s Harmony Korine ad, and NBA2K22. South Sinner Street is his debut solo album. The song is Vantablack.
