Something Sticke In My Eye Alt Bier - Back after a long Thanksgiving week with our friends from Burning Beard! This weekend they are kicking off a three day benefit at the brewery; Friday and Saturday Punk Rock Saves Christmas and Sunday Hip Hop Saves Christmas! We get into the nitty-gritty over a often overlooked Germanic style of beer called Sticke with Something Sticke In My Eye.

Tuesday
Brain Damage Hazy IPA Blend - IYKTYK, there is a secret menu at Burning Beard! Today's beer is one you won't find on the menu but if you talk to your beer-tenders at the Beard they may have let you in on the secret. Brain Damage is a blend of two different Hazy IPAs. But, blending wasn't always welcome at the Beard, Jeff talks about exactly how this once forbidden practice became a flavor playground.

Wednesday
Wet Hop Dankness - This is one of those few moments where we get to drink that last of a beer. Created for Wet Hop season, Burning Beard's Wet Hop Dankness is a super sticky-icky, weed-adjacent IPA that will wreck your tastebuds and have you begging for me. Now that I'm thinking of it, I probably did you a favor drinking the last of it!

Thursday
Banksy ESB - It's back and perfect for the holidays! Burning Beard has a fresh batch of Banksy ESB on tab for all the Extra Special B.....Peoples. As Jeff put's it, "Its an English hug that's perfect along side your Spotted Dick."

Friday
In Praised of Flanders - Breathe deep of the terroir of El Cajon! Naturally fermented from the Burning Beard Cool Ship, In Praise of Flanders is the Beard's answer to other more syrupy Flanders, the tiny bubbles and cherry sweetness dance on your palate with a subtle earthiness that can only be East County.
