In honor of the premiere of Brew Masters on Discovery last night, Don and I dusted off the microphones and recounted our “near miss” with TV this past summer. It should be a fun listen. We also review a couple of nice beers and a whiskey named after a bearded musician who has a channel on XM Radio.
You can find it here on iTunes, or for you Apple-haters, here on PodcastDirectory.com. You can also stream it to your computer on either site if you’d like to listen right away.
Enjoy!
Beer & Whiskey Brothers 
Yo Jimbo!
Just downloaded it last night. Should be amusing to hear your tales of what almost was. 🙂
Peace Yo!
G-LO
Yo, G-LO!
Hope you enjoy it. And if you don’t, we’ll give a refund! 😉
Hey Guys,
Just downloaded the podcast – look forward to listening to it on the train tomorrow. I just watched the first episode of the show, and it’s furthering my desire for a good craft beer (and at this point, that’s anything that is not a pilsner or hefeweizen). Maybe this will come up in the podcast, but I’ll ask anyway – did you guys try the Bitch’s Brew by Dogfish Head?
It was one of the beers we reviewed during our “Bitch Session” podcast. The others were Flying Dog Raging Bitch and Bitch Creek ESB. We paired them with unrestrained complaining and Don’s detest for jazz music. Quite a bitch session indeed.
The beer itself was nice. A lighter than ordinary stout with a strong thread of honey. Not mind blowing, but very drinkable.
I’m listening to this podcast right now while drinking a Sand Creek Groovy Brew (meh… nothing special as a beer). The podcast is really good stuff. And I’m horrified by mustard-covered oreos.
Thanks, John.
And you should be horrified, especially when you imagine them ground into your tightly closed lips. Good times being Don’s little brother, good times.
I’ve got two older brothers myself. For me, it was having peanut butter smeared on my face while one held me down and the other throwing raisins at the PB to see if they’d stick.
But peanut butter and raisins go good together – it’s practically peanut butter and jelly!
I hate to say this, but your brothers sound like amateurs!!
Damn Straight! What would be better than Oreo’s and Mustard?…Oh, I know…Sliced Tomatoes! Jim hated them almost as much as the Oreo’s and Mustard. It really didn’t work though, he is remarkably adept at pursing his lips Tighter than a Virgin’s ######…OOPS Wrong blog! :s
Don’t worry – I “fixed” it for you Don. Call me The Redactor!!
That sounds like a RUSH song! The Redactor…like the Necromancer…
Put us together and you have Sasquatch!!

If you’re interested John I did a write up of this very incident at the very early stages of the blog, here https://beerandwhiskeybros.com/2009/08/18/the-oreo-cookie-incident/
Just to clarify, I didn’t get to eat it. Did I mention that I was being held upside down over a stairwell at the time?
Also, when I was 3 (and they were 9 and 15), they’d hide Easter eggs in piles of the dog’s feces in the yard. Or they’d “hide” them in plain sight, but out of my reach. But enough about dog poop and raisins.. What’s the next step re: a TV show? Are you stuck playing the waiting game?
I take it back – they sound like focused and creative professionals.
It’s totally a waiting game with the TV thing at this point. We’re hoping Brew Masters finds it’s groove and it’s time slot – it’s had 3 so far. If it gets rolling, other networks will explore alcohol related shows and we’re in a good position to be on the short list.
But mostly we’re just waiting, which sucks.
You should re-film the show in gorilla suits and pitch it to Animal Planet.
I don’t think we need the suits – you should see Don with his shirt off!
Well, and you’ve seen Jim’s gross hair laden foot…nuf said.
