FINALLY! You won't believe the trouble we've had getting this show together, but it's done and up. International blues, Rick cooks some brews, and I prepare a Loaded Cat (Note to PETA: Catfish, not feline). Good food, great beer and lots of how-to's.
The pictures and recipes are on their way... We lied. No pictures of this one.
No beers sampled for the show.

We're enjoying classics on this show - beer and burgers. Rick has unveiled his Hefeweisen homebrew and we're comparing it against several other Hefs. I've got a great recipe for Double-Smoked Cheeseburgers with Spicy Onion Relish that is a new twist on an old favorite, the cheeseburger. Take a listen to the show below, and enjoy the recipes found here.
Also on this show, we feature one artist, the Red Mercury Blues Band out of Detroit. There are some excellent tunes and you can download these and more at http://music.download.com/redmercurybluesband/3600-8402_32-100105384.html?tag=listing_song_artist.

In this show we explore some beverages from Goose Island Brewery in Chicago, talk about Grilled Pizza (a different take on pizza altogether) and have a short history lesson or two... It's a good time with some rockin' Chicago Blues by Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Koko Taylor, the Left Tail Light Band and more. Give it a listen.

We visit a local Memphis brewpub, Boscos (http://www.boscosbeer.com) and discuss the types of beer found therein. We also cook a pork loin, one of the easiest meats to cook, as long as you don't cook too long. Musical guests from music.download.com are Jimmy Lane and Double Trouble, Katie Webster, and the Danny Cowan Group.
Pictures and comments on cooking are up! Take a look at the Smoked Pork Loin with 5 Fingers Barbecue Sauce we've cooked up here.

Lots of luck on this show, some good, some bad. Beers featured are Standby Beers... in other words, beers that you drink when you can't find anything better. Featured dish today is Barbecue Salmon Tacos, an excellent flavorful and healthy dish. Offset those calories to make room for more beer! Musical guests from music.download.com are the Essex Blues Band, Skyla Burrell Blues Band and Bernie Clarke and the Rhythm Sharks. Good beer, good food and good music. Enjoy!

I'm «trapped» in Florida (I've heard there are worse places) without a good beer or barbecue. If it wasn't for the ocean and the sun, things might be looking grim. I lament about the beers I find, and those I don't and discuss the Cuban style of cooking barbecue. It's a short one...

Show #3 is a little better put together. We're cooking Ancho Chili-Rubbed Smoked Sirloin Steak with Chipotle Salsa and Queso Fresco - man, is that a mouthful! And it tastes as good as it sounds. We're also drinking a few selections from Rogue Breweries and listening to some great tunes. Excellent beers and an excellent interview as well with Jack Joyce, one of the founders of Rogue Ale. Details, photos, recipes and credits are here.

I've recently had the pleasure of drinking a type of beer that I'd never had before. I had this beer in Wisconsin and again in San Diego, and have been unable to locate it anywhere regionally. The beer is a Flemish Old Brown, also known as a Sour Ale. Drinking this type of beer is like discovering beer all over again. (Before people start correcting me about what kind of beer it is, let me say that I arrived at this style definition after doing a LOT of research on what type it is - and I reserve the right to be wrong.) The best way to describe it is "pucker" beer. It has a tart taste, sour like a SweeTart sour. Excellent!
Why brew your own beer? You can buy zillions of varieties of beers, there's no hassle to doing it, and if you buy a bad beer, you're only out the cost of a six-pack.
I've got the pictures posted with detailed comments on the 4th of July cook. This was 4 days of prep, test cooks, and final cook to feed a crowd of 20-30 people. It was a lot of work but well worth it as the pictures show. Enjoy, and be sure to listen to the 4th of July podcast as well.
Note: Friday and Saturday are featured on Show # 2 where I cook the Beer Can Smoked Chicken and Riblets. You can listen to the mp3 here. The recipe for the Basic Rub and the Beer Can Chicken is found here in the article «Feeding the Masses».
