Just Jim and Kaz review this amazing stout from Three Weavers Brewing Company out of Inglewood, CA. Some Dark Hollow Imperial Stout ABV - 12.3 After aging this bold Imperial Stout in Jameson Irish Whiskey casks for 12 months, the resulting beer is undoubtedly greater than the sum of its parts. With warming notes of brown sugar, milk chocolate, burnt caramel, and Ceylon cinnamon, there’s just a little sweetness, just a little light in Some Dark Hollow.

Just Jim and Kaz review a couple of festive beers to start the holiday season! These beers are perfect for desert after your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. The guys reactions are priceless not only while tasting the beer... but when a couple of teammates unexpectedly appear! Pumking - Southern Tier Brewing Company Pumpkin / Yam Beer 8.6% ABV Pumpkin puree and pie spices, malty, bready; cinnamon dominates with nutmeg and vanilla in the background... Just Jim's Fav! Shiner Holiday Cheer - Spoetzl Brewery Wheat Beer - Dunkelweizen 5.4% ABV A Bavarian-style Dark Wheat Ale, Dunkelweizen, brewed with Texas peaches and roasted pecans. The malty flavors are enhanced through the use of malted barley and wheat. And Kräusening ensures a smoothness that makes the subtle peach and pecan flavors all more satisfying.

T, Jesse and Coach Johnny review a collaboration between Stone Brewing and Modern Times. Something a little magic is in the air in this episode! Hazy Coffee IPA 7.0% ABV It's not just the same hometown that unites Stone Brewing and Modern Times. It's an unceasing drive to create, innovate and challenge convention. (Not to mention the shared obsession with those little green miracles we call hops.) Modern Times / Stone WIzards & Gargoyles IPA is an achievement of collaborative awesomeness between two San Diego craft beer trailblazers. Centennial, Cashmere, Citra, and Azacca hops are joined by two in-development hops, yielding juicy notes of tropical citrus that play beautifully with the robust flavors and aromas of the coffee, supplied by, of course, Modern Times' caffeination masters. The result is a beer as wonderfully unique as its creators.

The Professor and Coach grade this decadent coffee stout from @OurBrew located in Redlands, CA. Imperial Coffee Stout 10% ABV Imperial stout flavored with El Salvador Coffee!

Mystery revolves around how T. and Coach find themselves waiting with seemingly an eternity of time on their hands and beers appearing out of thin air! Unguarded Bucket Almond Joy milk stout 7.5% ABV Escape Brewery - Redlands, CA A supernatural dose of coconut, luscious chocolate & notes of toasted almond. Brewed with a veil of coconut milk and milk sugar for a creamy finish. The Great’ER Pumpkin Pumpkin Beer 10% ABV Heavy Seas Beer - Baltimore, MD In the most worthy of pumpkin patches and during the silence of the midnight hour, the Greater Pumpkin raises up and pours a rich deep and burnished orange color. Heady aromas of bourbon, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and clove linger seductively over the thick white head of this tremendous brew. Its love at first sip as the full malt body, dominated by British crystal malt, brown sugar and pumpkin, slowly washes over your tongue. Bourbon barrel aging rounds out the flavors with notes of oak, vanilla, and bourbon. Pairs well with crisp autumn weather, crunchy fallen leaves, and the knowledge that your kids will be asleep soon so you can raid their Halloween candy bags.

Jesse and T review this tasty IPA ...or is it a Hazy, not sure, from Pariyah Brewing Company! A fantastic beer that is sure to put a grin on your face! New England IPA 7.5% ABV Nelson Sauvin focused hazy IPA. Notes of white grape, lime zest, lychee.

Just Jim, T and Jesse review a couple American style Oktoberfest beers and give you a little history lesson on Oktoberfest! PROST! Oktoberfest Bier Golden Road & Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (Spaten) Lager - Märzen 5.8% ABV Golden Road has always been inspired by brewing tradition, California culture, and lifestyle. For years they've celebrated a (Southern) California Oktoberfest at our pubs with their Märzen Oktoberfest beer. And now available in a can. They have collaborated with Spaten on this traditional Marzen recipe, and were blessed to work with Steven Harrington on the packaging design. Steven is an iconic Los Angeles based artist, coincidentally a long time Golden Road drinker. His California-inspired psychedelic-pop art was the perfect way to bring this brand to life and celebrate some beers along the way. The result is a Märzen Oktoberfest bier, displayed as an artform, as this traditional masterpiece from their brewers should be! New World meets Old World. California meets Oktoberfest. Octoberfest Beer Bell's Brewery Amber - Märzen 5.5% ABV Crafted as a flavorful session beer, Bell's Octoberfest Beer is perfect for a week-long wedding celebration in Germany or the start of the Michigan autumn. As with Bell's Lager Beer, Octoberfest spends a full six weeks maturing in the fermentation vessels. Unlike its cousin, Octoberfest trades in the assertive hop presence for a focus on a light caramel malt note, lending body without too much sweetness. #craftbeerlover #beerlover #craftnotcrapbeer #instabeer #hops #craftbeerporn #beerporn #beertography #craftbeerlife #beergram #craftbeergeek #beergeek #craftbeerpics #beerpics #craftbeertime #beertime #beerphoto #thewortshop #Spaten #GoldenRoad #BellsBrewery #Marzen #Oktoberfest #SpecialRelease #GermanBeer #FestBeer #Beertent

Just Jim, Kaz and T travel to England or is it Great Britain or The United Kingdom ...I am so confused, in Part 1 of this two part episode of Around The World In 80 Beers! Don' miss the balloon as we take off, ask Jim, as we try these two exceptional English Pub beers! Stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon! Boddingtons Pub Ale Pale Ale - English 4.7% ABV Boddingtons is a refreshing, smooth beer renowned for its golden color, full-bodied flavor and malty, moreish taste with smooth, tight creamy head. Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale British Brown Ale 5% ABV Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground); best barley malt, yeast and aromatic hops; fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ to create a relatively dry ale with rich nutty colour and palate of beech nuts, almonds and walnuts.

Just Jim and Kaz drink all of T's Salted Caramel Mudslide barleywine! The team took a trip to Firestone Walker Barrelworks brewery in Buellton CA and got the last of this amazing beer on tap! SALTED CARAMEL MUDSLIDE 12.5% ABV 15 IBU 16 SRM A perfectly rich, bold, and flavorful beer for winter sipping, this beer takes its inspiration from its namesake cocktail. Traditionally made with vodka, coffee & Irish cream liqueur. Well blended some of favorite bourbon and vanilla extract barrel aged beers and added premium selected coffee, cocoa nibs and sea salt.

Watch T. and Jesse in this seemingly lost episode of The Brewview presented in, "Retro-view!" lol Xocoveza 8.1% ABV @50 IBUs This is a beloved stout. When first introduced as a limited special collaboration release with Cerveceria Insurgente and San Diego homebrewer Chris Banker (after his recipe won our annual homebrew competition) , it was an instant hit and fans began clamoring for its return. Seeing as how its amazing flavor profile is evocative of Mexican hot chocolate, featuring coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a generous amount of chocolate, we concluded it was the perfect stout to re-release in celebration of the Holidays and the entire winter season. This is now a highly anticipated yearly tradition that we are pleased to present from us to you, and makes a perfect wintry gift from you to your friends, loved ones, or simply to yourself. Cheers!

T., Kaz and Jim review a hat trick with La Trappe's (De Koningshoeven Brewery), Dubbel, Tripel & Quadrupel! Dubbel 7% ABV has a deep brown color and attractive beige froth. The use of caramel malt gives it a gentle aromatic caramelized quality. It has a rich malty flavor with a touch of sweetness. Post-fermenting La Trappe Dubbel is a smooth drink, and yet has some real body and intense flavor to it. Tripel 8% ABV has a deep brown color and attractive beige froth. The use of caramel malt gives it a gentle aromatic caramelized quality. It has a rich malty flavor with a touch of sweetness. Post-fermenting La Trappe Dubbel is a smooth drink, and yet has some real body and intense flavor to it. Quadrupel 10% ABV heaviest ale with a stunning amber color. Its warm and intense flavor is rich and finely balanced. Malty sweet, slightly burnt, and pleasantly bitter with a sweet aftertaste. Quadrupel continues to ferment after bottling and offers aromas of banana, almond, vanilla and others. #craftbeerlover #beerlover #craftnotcrapbeer #instabeer #hops #craftbeerporn #beerporn #beertography #craftbeerlife #beergram #craftbeergeek #beergeek #craftbeerpics #beerpics #craftbeertime #beertime #beerphoto #thewortshop #belgiumbeer #quadrupel #dubbel #latrappe #thebrewview #trippel #trappist #monkbeer
