Show 110 - The Spare Beer Show
You might think, to paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, that «this is a show about nothing.»
Au Contraire mon cheri - this show is about the things we love - beer, blues and BBQ! I know, you are stunned. It's our «wrap up» show from the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival '08. Dick and Rick sitting around by the lake on a warm Monday afternoon cleaning out the beer fridge «spares», cooking some BBQ chicken. listening to tunes and shooting the breeze. Self serving and gratuitous? You betcha. So? Music samplings from Backdoor Slam, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carl Simms and Hot Monkey Love. In the words of Ace Ventura, pet detective... «Alrighty then!» - let's get to it!

Okay, we don't have a theme for the beers this time, except they are all big high alcohol beverages. Several of them are Brewers reserves. Yum.

What is a green flash? A flash of brilliant green light, before the day descends into night. People who live along the coast spend their lives hoping to see one. It is also an up and coming brewing company from San Diego that has been making a splash with their Imperial IPA. Thanks to Mike for bringing back samples from his spring break family outing to the left coast.
This show took forever to get out because there is so much stuff! Linus Hall, brewmaster from
