The Philadelphia Months series rolls on, and this time Matt cracks open something unexpected: Tech Blonde Ale. What starts as a casual pour quickly turns into one of the biggest surprises of the series so far. Brewed by Ship Bottom Brewery but branded under 215 Libations (yes, that 215), this episode dives into a fascinating look at contract brewing, joint ventures, and the sometimes confusing business side of beer. Oh—and there's an NBA connection you won't see coming. But let's get to the real story: the beer. Matt—self-proclaimed tough critic of blonde ales—finds himself genuinely impressed by a brew that delivers far more complexity than expected. From bready, biscuity malt character to delicate floral hops with a hint of lavender and subtle peach/pear esters, this one hits a rare sweet spot: balance with personality. Along the way, Matt breaks down the beer BJCP-style, shares why blonde ales are harder to nail than they seem, and reflects on his own brewing journey—including the story behind his medal-winning "Miscalculated Blonde." Final verdict? A near-top-tier score and a new favorite from the lineup. If you think blonde ales are boring… this episode might change your mind.

In this episode, Dave discusses the movies Whistle, Black Cab, Get Away, Hallow Road, and Mom and Dad!

This is report of the first episode of our new series "Rocked". This repost includes an extended introduction that sets the stage for the series and little bit more about our host, Larah Nimoi. In every small town, there's a disappearance people still whisper about — a name that lingers, a moment that changed everything. Rocked follows one woman's relentless journey to uncover the truth behind those who vanished under unsettling, often overlooked circumstances. Each episode digs into a different case: the people who went missing, the secrets left behind, and the communities forever shaken by their absence. Through interviews, investigation, and a deeply personal search for answers, Rocked explores how these mysteries ripple through families, friendships, and entire towns long after the headlines fade. This podcast series is about the stories that refuse to stay buried — and the determination to finally bring them into the light. EPISODE 1 — "Whatever Happened to the High Plains Hottie?" A young woman vanished from a bar outside St. Paul in 1982 — and her case has haunted me for years. In our debut episode, I return to the disappearance that started it all, reopening the mystery of who she was, what happened that night, and why her story never let me go.

The Philadelphia beer tour rolls on! In Episode 34 of Matt Likes Beer, Matt cracks open Blow the Whistle IPA from 2SP Brewing Company—another sports-inspired selection courtesy of Dave. With a nod to Philly's die-hard fan culture (and a little Eagles energy mixed in), this IPA sets the stage for a deeper dive into what makes the style so beloved… and so polarizing. Along the way, Matt reflects on his own IPA-heavy lineup and tackles a question many craft beer fans have encountered: why do IPAs seem to attract so much criticism? From social media jokes to real-world beer conversations, he explores the love-it-or-hate-it reputation of the style while making a strong case for its diversity and creativity. Of course, the heart of the episode is the beer itself. Expect a full BJCP-style breakdown, highlighting: - Bright citrus-forward aromas with lemon and lime zest  - A layered hop profile featuring Idaho 7 and Cashmere  - A smooth, slightly sweet finish that bends (and tests) style expectations  - A final score of 42, making it one of the standout beers in the series so far It's part tasting, part rant, and part love letter to one of craft beer's most debated styles. Grab a pint and join the conversation—especially if you've ever had to defend your love of IPAs.

Happy May the 4th! Someone on the show reminded me that this episode exists, so what better day to release it (other than the day it intended for original in 2025).

The Philadelphia beer series rolls on! In Episode 33 of Matt Likes Beer, Matt dives into another selection from the stash of 16 beers sent by Dave from NeoZaz—this time featuring a surprising entry from Weyerbacher Brewing Company. Known for their massive, high-ABV beers, Weyerbacher takes a sharp left turn with Cerveza Bueno Latin Lager, a crisp and easy-drinking 4.5% brew that couldn't be further from their usual heavy hitters. But does lighter mean lesser? That's what this episode sets out to discover. Along the way, Matt shares: A behind-the-scenes story of a very ambitious beer fridge cleanout  Memories from visiting Weyerbacher's Easton location A candid discussion about "beer mansplaining" and the evolving culture of craft beer Insights into judging a Latin lager under BJCP guidelines (spoiler: it lands in International Pale Lager territory)

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, the Philadelphia Months series rolls on with a look at Phandemic Brew Tailgate Lager—a beer inspired by one of the most unique fan movements to come out of the pandemic. Matt dives into the story of the "Phandemic Krew," a passionate group of Philadelphia baseball fans who gathered outside the stadium during the empty-seat days of 2020, bringing energy, noise, and spirit back to the game when it was needed most. It's a perfect backdrop for a beer built around the ballpark experience. From there, the episode shifts into a personal and nostalgic reflection on pandemic-era beer culture—supporting local breweries, the explosion of homebrewing, and the makeshift traditions that helped keep community alive during a strange and isolated time. Of course, no episode would be complete without a full BJCP-style review. Matt breaks down the Tailgate Lager as an American Light Lager, exploring its appearance, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel—while also comparing it to macro classics and discussing where craft versions elevate the style. It's part beer review, part storytelling, and part time capsule of a truly bizarre era—all wrapped up in one easy-drinking episode. Grab a beer and listen in.

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, the Philadelphia Months series rolls on with a West Coast IPA that leans heavily into pop culture. Matt cracks open "You're an IPA, Harry" from Second Sin Brewing—a beer packed with wizard-themed branding, even if the host himself isn't exactly a student of the Harry Potter universe. What follows is a classic Matt-style journey: part beer review, part self-aware ramble, and part unexpected deep dive into theme park memories and media coverage days. From reminiscing about covering events at Universal Orlando Resort to accidentally gaming a Harry Potter trivia challenge, this episode proves that even a non-fan can find themselves surrounded by magic. On the beer side, Matt evaluates this American/West Coast IPA through a BJCP lens, breaking down appearance, aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Expect notes of lemon candy, pine resin, and a firm bitterness, along with thoughtful critique on balance, stylistic accuracy, and a slightly distracting mineral edge. It's a beer that smells fantastic, drinks a bit lighter than expected, and sparks a conversation about what makes a classic IPA shine in a world full of hazy and experimental variants. Final score: 38/50 — a very good beer with a standout aroma and a few quirks worth discussing. Whether you're here for the beer education, the storytelling, or just to hear someone admit they barely know anything about Harry Potter, this episode has a little something for everyone. Cheers!

Matt revisits his one and only trip to the brewery—part of a Philadelphia hockey weekend with friends—before diving into a full judging breakdown of the beer. Expect detailed notes on aroma, flavor, appearance, and mouthfeel, including bright fresh orange character, floral hop notes, bready malt, and a firm bitterness that pushes the pale ale toward IPA territory. Along the way, Matt also reflects on the role of pale ales as a brewer's benchmark style, shares stories about fundraiser beers and collaborative brewing projects, and explains why a great pale ale can tell you everything you need to know about a brewery. The verdict? A standout beer scoring 46/50—Outstanding on the BJCP scale and tying for the highest score Matt has given this year. Grab a pint and join the tasting.

April kicks off "Philadelphia Months" on Matt Likes Beer, and we're starting with a collaboration that hits close to home: Jonesy Hockey Lager from Conshohocken Brewing Company — created with Flyers legend Keith Jones and benefiting Flyers Charities. But this episode isn't just about beer. Matt takes a deep dive into one of the most unforgettable moments in Flyers history: the epic five-overtime playoff battle against the Penguins on May 4–5, 2000. A game so long you could fall asleep, wake up… and they'd still be playing. A game where exhaustion had a face — and it was Keith Jones. Along the way: - A heartfelt detour into the pronunciation of "Conshohocken" - A Hawaiian-food vs. Pennsylvania-town-name debate - A breakdown of hockey overtime rules (regular season vs. playoffs) - A BJCP-style evaluation of Jonesy Hockey Lager — judged as an American Lager… though it may have other ideas - A discussion on style expectations vs. enjoyment - A quick tour of other hockey-branded beers Matt has encountered across the NHL The verdict? A well-made beer with a bit of an identity crisis — and a whole lot of Flyers heart behind it. If you love hockey nostalgia, charity beers, deep style analysis, or just a good sports story about the longest game you've (maybe) never watched in full — this one's for you. Grab a beer, lace up your skates, and let's get into it.

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, Matt cracks open a German import with a lot more baggage than expected: Bismarkbrau Das Pilsner. What starts as a straightforward first-time tasting of a German Pils quickly turns into a full BJCP-style judging breakdown—appearance, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression—complete with scores and some surprising critiques. Matt dives deep into what makes a German Pils tick, from grainy, bready malt character to assertive bitterness, and explains why this particular beer lands at a lower score than expected. Along the way, he explores how transit, storage, and age can dramatically affect imported beers long before they hit an American shelf. Then things take a turn. Sparked by a bold "brewed according to the 1516 Purity Law" claim on the label, Matt launches into a candid (and occasionally fiery) discussion about the Reinheitsgebot—why it exists, what it actually says, and why modern brewers and beer drinkers may be clinging to it for reasons that have very little to do with making better beer. If you've ever been in an uncomfortable argument about "authentic" German brewing methods, this segment will feel painfully familiar. The episode wraps with an announcement of an upcoming multi-episode special featuring beers sent from Philadelphia, plus a peek behind the curtain at Matt's recording schedule and what listeners can expect over the next couple of months. Honest judging, brewing philosophy, imported beer realities, and a little brewing-community therapy—this one has it all.

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, Matt cracks open Ember, a Red IPA from Brewery Bhavana in Raleigh, North Carolina—and takes listeners on a winding, honest, and surprisingly visual journey. What starts as a simple beer review quickly expands into a deep dive on Brewery Bhavana itself, a uniquely ambitious space that blends brewery, taproom, Chinese restaurant, dim sum house, bookstore, and flower shop all under one roof. Matt explores his initial skepticism, his evolving impressions after digging through photos and the brewery's website, and whether a place like this would actually be his kind of brewery. From there, it's time to judge the beer. Matt evaluates Ember as a BJCP 21B Specialty IPA (Red IPA), breaking down: Appearance, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and overall impression Hop-forward balance with supporting caramel and malt character Where Ember shines—and where Matt wishes it pushed just a bit further The result? A strong 41-point score, making Ember one of the higher-rated beers of the year so far. The episode wraps up with a broader discussion of Specialty IPAs, including Red, Black, Brown, Rye, White, Belgian, and Brut IPAs, why the category can be both fun and frustrating to judge, and how easily these styles can go wrong—or absolutely nail the balance. No bad one-star reviews this time, but plenty of thoughtful beer talk, judging insight, and classic Matt-style tangents along the way. Grab a beer, settle in, and enjoy Episode 27 of Matt Likes Beer.
