Good Swill Hunting - A Budget Beer Review Podcast

Bohemian Style Gluek Beer

It sounds like 'Glick.' Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about a Minnesota standard. This 'Pilsner Pale Ale' was brought to us by another friend of GSH. How do we feel about this pilsner with a punch? Rick talks about cans and dates. Matt has a story from Minnesota that involves grits and a Waffle House. Blaine has plenty of experiences from the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" to make up for the both of them. 

Artesian Texan - Shiner Premium

This beer is brewed with water from an artesian well. That's all you need to say, but there's so much more to hear about Matt's trip to Shiner, Texas where he collected and brought back this limited distribution beer. How does this beer stand up to the well-known Bock? Why can't we get it everywhere? We've got some explanations of sorts. 

SPECIAL: CELEBRATING 100 EPISODES!!!

Coming to you from the Thirsty Beaver Saloon in Charlotte, NC! This special episode is packed full of good times to celebrate our 100 episodes of Good Swill. We review two staples of Charlotte's staple bar that has overcome corporate development literally coming in from all sides. The tops are popped on Miller High Life and Coors Banquet in a place where there are other kinds of tops hanging from the ceiling. We talk about history, music, and get a visit from a birthday girl, as we soak up this celebration!

A Garden State Original - Ballantine Ale

Rick returns from his home state of New Jersey with a classic beer. Ballantine Ale is brewed by Pabst, but the Ballantine & Sons origins date back to the 1800's. In this episode, hear why a field trip from Rick's childhood relates to this brewery. Also, it's episode 99! Join us as we get ready for our centenary!

Flyin’ High With American Flyer Lager

Hang on for this whirlwind of a trip to Boston. Well, at least a trip in our minds to get a taste of Harpoon Brewery's finest. Our former host and friend John Lohr brought us this swill from the North. Fair warning this episode, as Matt sends this American Flyer in a tail spin with tongue punches and puns. 

Ohio Swill - Buckeye Premium Beer

When you have more friends, you get more beer! We’ve got another one from a friend of Good Swill Hunting who is the first ever to join us as a guest by phone. Buckeye Beer is a special hometown beer for many like Andrew Lewandowski who bought us this beer. It's brewed by Maumee Bay Brewing, has a low price, loads of flavor; but most importantly, this is a unique regional beer giving us a sip of the culture and history brewed in Toledo, Ohio.

Spotted Cow Tippin’ - New Glarus Brewing Co.

We're excited to try this Farmhouse Ale from Wisconsin. It's, award winning, highly rated, and highly sought after; so we think we'll be over the moon for it. Thank you to Carrington for bringing it by our studio! No matter how good this Swill is, Bryan will always find something to say--but it's not about the flavor of the beer this time. Join us for another good time and great insight on this beer!

Stroh’s Light Beer - Motor City Swill

This regional beer is a special delivery from Detroit, thanks to a good friend of GSH. It's also one of the very few beers none of the guys have ever tried! Like many regional swills, it's owned by Pabst; but has strong family roots that originated where? You guessed it. Germany. The GSH team talks about this throwback looking beer, questions about the year printed on the can, its history, and Rick has some advice when it comes to who's allowed to open and close your mailbox. 

Anchors Aweigh - Anchor Steam Beer

We raced to get one of the last cases of this iconic beer, known as America's oldest craft beer. Our host describes the adventure getting it and we have a moment in memory of this soon-to-be-shuttered brewery. Or will it be closed for good? Bryan takes us to school on Steam Beer and Rick talks about what this beer means for many craft beer lovers. It's not Matt's first voyage with this Anchor--but he didn't remember his first, so he's in for a treat!

A Yuengling Golden Opportunity

This Golden Pilsner from one of Brian's favorite breweries is a welcome sight this week, as we recover from our drink bag experience last episode. We'll talk about this family owned beer and why it's ideal for certain occasions, especially for the price! Matt is ready for reddit with this beer where Yuengling has a dedicated group of fans. Oh, we're 10 episodes away from a golden moment. 100 episodes! Man, that's A LOT of beer...and other stuff.
