E63 Jazzin' Up with Mr. Beer - part 1

Home Brew Rock Stars Podcast

Dia Duit, (PRONOUNCED - dee-ah gwit) and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Welcome back to HomeBrew Rockstars. A fitting greeting as it is Irish meaning "God to you". We Hope you are enjoying your St. Patricks Day.

Since our last few episodes a lot has changed in our world, as COVID-19 seems to be in all the news and on our minds. “Social distancing” has become a catch phrase along with hoarding of disinfectants, hand sanitizers, masks and… toilet paper? What the hell is everybody going to do with all the toilet paper? Come on people, really? I’m more worried about having enough home brew!

Since there are no sports to watch it’s time to just “relax and have a home brew” (thanks Charlie); so crack open a good one, start up a new brew, or just settle in and listen to Home Brew Rock Stars.

In Part 1 we call “Jazzin’ Up with Mr. Beer” we invited David Benson to the Bat Cave studio to talk about home brewing, Mr. Beer & other non-traditional types of brewing. David is also a jazz musician and we play some of his music as we visit and drink beer. Man, I like my job!

David, Brent, Kent and Mike taste and review a home-brewed Saison Blanc made by David. We also tried a cider David fermented from store bought (no preservatives) apple, peach and mango juice. Our sponsor Pig Minds Brewing provided us with a tasty Belgian Strong Ale aptly named Drunken Rook. Full bodied with hints of plum and fig make this 9.3% ABV beer a real treat that loosens the tongue and forget about Corona...let alone any virus, Hah!

Be watching for Part 2 of our chat with David and his eccentric world following this episode.

Big thanks to Brian, Shane and Dustin at Pig Minds Brewing, Anthony and Aaron at Artale & Co, for all their suds and support, we love you guys!

And when you are ready to brew up one of your favorite home brew recipes or start a new indoor gardening project.
