Baba and Ganoush Beer Tasting Podcast

Today, we explore a less popular beer variety: the Rye. Sampling Aquanaut Brewing's Maiden Voyage Rye IPA and Miskatonic's Catchpenny Session Rye, we hope you enjoy our exploration of these special brews.

Welcome to a special Halloween episode from the Baba and Ganoush Beer Tasting Podcast. We venture out of the Chicago area to sample a pair of pumpkin ales: Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale and Steven's Point Brewery's Pumpkin Ale.   We'd love your comments and questions. Please leave a review on iTunes or send us an email at babaandganoush@gmail.com.

Beers sampled in this episode: Revolution Brewing Oktoberfest Baderbrau Oktoberfest Goose Island Oktoberfest Two Brothers Atom Smasher

We hope you enjoyed your summer vacation! We're back to discuss a lesser known beer variety: the Saison. We've got two Chicago-area samples of this summer-time beer for your listening pleasure. The first is Apex Predator courtesy of Off Color Brewing. The second is Alice's Honey Saison from Arcade Brewery.  And don't forget to visit our Facebook page or leave a review at iTunes with more ideas for future episodes! Or send us an email at babaandganoush@gmail.com.

Today, we venture into our first on location recording session at the Baderbräu grand opening. We try a total of five beers the brewery had on tap, discuss the next generation's failure to understand cornhole, and fail to remember the actual names of the beers we taste. Good times all around! Beers Sampled: VelociRadler "The Beer-Mamosa" - A mild, light, and very effervescent beer mixed with Kumquat juice. South Side Pride - a Helles lager. Lawnmower Lager - Our apologies to Baderbräu for calling this one an ale at one point. It is most definitely a lager and an excellent one to boot. Chicago Pilsner - Still fantastic. Go back and listen to Episode 2 for our first thoughts on this excellent Pils. High Noon Hef - a German-style hefeweizen. And don't forget to let us know what you think of the podcast.
