Things we learned
2 shows in one night deserves a major award. Stroh 80 is the blood of satan and should be treated as such. Serve in a viking horn.

Sounds like you guys got a bit aggro near the end there. Hard liquor – does it every time. As soon as Spoon started flipping bottle caps, I thought it was going to get ugly. Great drunken show, dudes.

I’ve tasted some bad beers before, but none have ever left the taste of bad sushi in my mouth. Sorry you didn’t care for that Irish Red, Spoon. I like Sam Adams, but I find they’re hit and miss for me too. Not everything they make is gold. At least you guys nutted up and chugged it.

You did St. Patty’s Day in style. Well done, gentlemen. I’m sorry – did I say gentlemen? Who walked in?

Did someone say Stroh? Little you know is that Strom’s family name originally is Stroh but they changed it to Strom to prevent persecution by the Germans. Apparently SickPuppy and Father Spoon are fascists or else they wouldn’t need to drink such a strong rum. Brian’s great grandfather Gusthauv Stroh worked in the original Stroh facility but changed careers when something opened up in the BioTech field. Now the Stroms are working on a series of Terminators to fight back and take retribution for all the years of oppression.

Thanks for the great show mention. We’ll show you how to properly drink Stroh very soon.

Another highly entertaining episode. I generally go for the more palatable hard liquor options. My current
stash is highlighted by a fifth of Bookers Bourbon (124 proof, straight, uncut from the aging barrels … great
stuff!) I also have Slivovitz, the national drink of all the former Yugoslavian states (Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia,
Macedonia, etc.) Lastly, I have a bottle of Komovica (pronounced Komo veet za), another ethnic liquor
from the former Yugoslavia. I’d like to see what you Gray Kangaroo would make of these … probably
best to try it on some good 90 or 100 proof Slivovitz (alternate spelling, Slivovica). As for the beer reviews,
you are correct, Sickpuppy, even a mediocre Great Lakes offering is better than the best that most
other breweries have to offer. Don’t know if you are into Stouts, but you must try their Blackout Stout,
while its still available. Easily as good as Victory’s Storm King, which, being “Burgh Boys”, you should
be familiar with. Fr. Spoon, your taste buds were ruined by the Stroh 80, and that is probably the
reason you didn’t like the Sam Adams Irish Red.

Peace out guys, until we meet up at The BrewErie in April!

Clarke, that Sam Adams was foul. I dont care who likes it. to me it was disgusting.

I worry about drinking with the StromHuelsman Podcast. We may joke about your drinking of Keystone but you boys have some skillz!

Jesus Bill you have quite the stash! Unfortunately we wont be able to make the bash at the BrewErie. Long story mate.

Gaaaaaa! Not coming to the Erie Brewfest Dr. Spoon? For that, I must issue you a challenge. Since I had
Sickpuppy chug a Miller Chill, I challenge you to chug a Budweiser Chelada, whilst having Boy George’s
“Do you really want to hurt me” playing loudly in the background! That will be informative, and punishment
enough for wimping out on the Erie event of the year.

Cheers, ya bastard!

Hey it’s not my fault I have a wedding that same day! Oh wait I didn’t mention that previously. yeah I suck like that. One of the SIDT staff is getting married that day which is the only reason next to death that we would miss it and even death is questionable!

As for the challenge oh man that could be tough finding a Chelada but I know that sickpuppy has the whole Culture Club collection on vinyl and CD.

Okay … wedding is an acceptable excuse … just barely
I’m sure Sickpuppy will be glad to assist you with the challenge!
Cheers
