What? iTunes screwed up something? Impossible, you say? Well, it's true. We had part 1 and 2 of the Lost Abbey beer show in one post, but that apparently doesn't make nice with Apple. And since you've already had part 2 thrust upon you, here's part 1 posted afterward. Enjoy!
We lost the abbey but found the show, at least part 1 that you can download here.
We found the Lost Abbey and the Belgian style beers are quite exceptional! Join us as we give plugs and shoutouts to a boatload of people and podcasts, pimp some worthy causes, and explore three fantastic beers from the San Diego area. We also have an interview with the owner of the best beer bar in the land, the Liars Club. Or is it the best? We want to hear from you. We preview a new beer from New Belgium as well, called Springboard, a seasonal offering. Also on tap is our first ever contest to win an extremely rare and valuable prize (hint: you have to watch the video below to win). We get on a tear about youtube and other new media, have some great news (have you heard about Bilk?) and play some cool blues and punk tunes. We got so carried away with this show we have to give it to you in two parts...
We welcome Johnny Max (BrewCrazy Brewcast) to the show and enjoy some of his award winning homebrews including the infamous Cause of Death. It's an all-grain 21% ABV beverage that they said «couldn't be done.» You read about it in Brew Your Own magazine, now hear how it was done straight from the brewer himself.
Add some beer news with Rick Lyke (http://lyke2drink.blogspot.com), an interview with the fine folks from O'Fallon Brewery, and of course - some great blues music with a twist of gospel and you have the recipe for a fun evening Big Foamy Head style!

Paraphrasing Marsellus from the cult classic «Pulp Fiction» - We're gonna get medieval on you!
What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' deleted, who'll go to work on the holmes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.
We get medieval with our beers and metal with our music... well metal from our perspective!! Probably mild on the metal scale of metalness. Enjoy some great tunes and release your hidden Viking desires to maruad distant lands! We include a news segment from Rick Lyke and a new pre-show video on YouTube!

If you need proof that editing and drinking does not mix, this is it. We forgot to add the news to Show 60! So here is a special thrilling standalone issue of Beer News with Rick Lyke from Lyke2Drink.blogspot.com. Incestuous mergers and secret covenants with the Dark Lord, speculation on how big a building 34 billion beer cans will make, and much more!

Great beer from Sprecher (and a really sucky one from the beer locker), blues from the Vaughn brothers, Robin Trower, Jimmy Thackery and more. We rant about sushi restaurants, give you the homebrew update with special guest Craig from Brew Bubbas and a good cause. More great beer news from Rick Lyke, and assorted odds and ends - and we manage to keep all our promises!

We kick off the new year with some fantastic beers from the O'Fallon Brewery of O'Fallon, Missouri. These guys create some wild flavors with great results. We sample six of their brews PLUS we reveal a stealth beer from one of the giant corporate brewers (hint: their initials are AB) and put it head to head against it's competitor to see who is the King of Stouts. On the news front, we debut our new snazzy intro and Rick Lyke from lyke2drink.blogspot.com brings us more news from AB, Flying Dog and the latest on the Iron City drama. We salute the passing of James Brown and give you lots of homebrew updates and info, while cooking up some Bambi at the same time. And we welcome a new little foamy head by the name of Olivia. Round it out with some great blues from Curtis Salgado and Duke Robilliard and you've got a show. Hard to believe we kept it under an hour!
We are two for two with a second show featuring fantastic Belgian-style beers! Allagash Brewery delivers the goods, and we warm up with a 400 year old recipe for Wassail, which is basically hot beer with liquor added. Yum. Also on tap is some original Memphis Music from BlueJazz, reports from the field from Rick Lyke with devastating NASCAR news, and animal stories galore. Susan joins us again, and we give an update on the topless club and manatee situation in Memphotown. Great beers and a great sendoff to Christmas.
Take your top off and parade around your living room with this great show! Download here.
From Cooperstown, NY, the Home of Baseball comes Brewery Ommegang - «where brewing is an art and partaking is a passion!» Each of these beers were a treat.
Okay, we ran really long on this show. We are sorry. And we apologize. You can skip the songs if you're so inclined, but you'll be doing yourself a disservice - the music is excellent this go around.
What do Fritos and Chili, Running, and Algae Bioranches have in common? Not much. Does that stop us from talking about them? Heck no!
We're stepping up the quality of the show by bringing in an informed guest to do the news segment. All in an effort to get better information to you, our listeners, in a timely manner. Please help welcome Rick Lyke from lyke2drink.blogspot.com!
