In Memoriam:

  • Blue Moon Grand Cru
  • New Glarus R&D Golden Ale
  • Founders Cerise

Once in a blue moon! Dick, Rick and Mike are joined by Chris to discuss... well, life in general, beer in specific. We try Blue Moons Grand Cru. Grand Cru is interpreted as Great Growth according to the all knowing wikipedia. Discussions include Magic Dick, Kevin Bacon who is not the most linked actor, the Big Beers Belgians and Barleywine festival, skiing and banks. Somehow, we tie it all together.

  • The J. Geils Band - Wait
  • Buddy Guy and Junior Wells Play the Blues – T Bone Shuffle
  • Jeff Beck and Imogen Heap – Rollin and Tumblin

Mike down with H1N1, or was it just a hangover?
New Glarus Berliner Weisse - real and made up facts about this beer style.
Smoking meat in the winter time, electric smokers, gas smokers - is it real bbq?
Cast Iron skillets and other gift ideas for the women - Pressure Washers?

Brettanomyces culturing
Homebrewing Sour Beer Barrel projects

In Memoriam:

  • J.W. Lees Harvest Ale aged in Lavagulin Whisky Cask
  • J.W. Lees Harvest Ale aged in Calvados Cask
  • J.W. Lees Harvest Ale aged in Sherry Cask
  • J.W. Lees Harvest Ale aged in Port Cask

What could be better than a great beer? A great beer aged in a Scotch Whisky cask. Or maybe Calvados, or Port, or Sherry - or all of them! We get our cask on with this show and try the same barleywine four different ways. J.W. Lee takes the art of cask beer to a new level.
And speaking of art, its a double dose of class and culture with the ever popular Beer Haiku and a presentation on How to be a Blues Singer. Add in some tunes from Joe Bonamassa, piss off the Dutch, rag on more dead celebrities (including one Mike didn't know was dead) and you have another Big Foamy Head show. And how about pimping that 4 year anniversary and Facebook page? You better listen, cause we know where you live...

Aging this show wont help, so listen up now.

The blues world lost one of its greats this past June, Koko Taylor. She was born in Shelby County, just outside of Memphis, eighty years ago, and spent the majority of that time on earth singing the blues in a distinctive style. She inspired many artists, male and female alike, and received countless awards. Take a little time and get to know Koko if you don't know her, and celebrate her life and legacy if you do.
