In celebration of National IPA Day, we present a tutorial on the nuances of hops and IPAs for our hop-challenged friends. Actually, we just drink some great beers and babble on endlessly about Vince Gill, beer festivals, hot chicken, t-shirts, and beertards.
We kick it off with a Great Divide 18th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA. Oh yes we did. Sacrifical Beer Virgin Clark weighs in with his insightful comments on it («its good»), we have a short-fill beer and a meh beer, and we have a three-way with John Hiatt, Joe Bonamassa, and Vince Gill. Wait, that didn't come out right...

Listen up to this hop-soaked show and judge for yourself.

We drink a brett beer that may or may not be half assed. Depends on what you are looking for and whether you are all about the Styles. We're talking about the collaboration between New Belgium and Lost Abbey called Brett Beer that takes a beating on the beer boards. We give you the straight poop on whether its poop or not. Segue to a discussion of the Arc Angels, a great Texas rock group you may never have heard of, and a hint about earlier musical collaborations. We catch up on the latest beer events around towns including bicycle beers and drunk running.
We bring Ziggy Stardust back up with a special, rarely heard recording of a tour rehearsal featuring Stevie Ray Vaughn. Right before he quit the... collaboration. See a pattern here?
And here is the link to that amazing session with Stevie Ray Vaughn and David Bowie in Dallas
Then we get a little darker with some old homebrew Rick found in the back of the fridge from our friends at The Beer Report.
And then we tie up YET ANOTHER COLLABORATION! Listen up kiddies, its good stuff.

Why on earth, you might ask, would you want to wreck your palate. Much like climbing Mt Everest, in the immortal words of George Mallory - «Because it was there!» Actually we had a much better and more hedonistic reason - because it was darned tasty!! We are of course talking about Green Flashes «Palate Wrecker - Hamiltons Ale».

Beers sampled and discussed on the show...
Stone «Ruination»
Green Flash «Hop Head Red»
Green Flash «Palate Wrecker»

Tom Petty «You Wreck Me»

Life in Nashvegas - CMA's, Bonaroo - other things Dick did not attend, but had to deal with traffic issues.

YouTube'ing the 80's - a great way to kill 3 hours!

Bowie and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is 40 YEARS OLD.

Literal Versions of the songs.

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version *ORIGINAL*

The Queens Jubilee - Sir Paul (with Rusty Anderson) and other entertainers, old but still bringing it.

Outtro Song - Grace Potter, Joe Satriani, Steve Kimock, Reed Mathis, Willy Waldman and Stephen Perkins cover Cortez the Killer at the Jammy's.

Pop a cold one, sit back and relax - enjoy some beers and Music with the fine hosts of BigFoamyHead!

deviantdalesIt took a beer this good to drag our asses out of retirement and produce a NSFW show. Join us as we sample Deviant Dale, an imperial version of Dale's Pale Ale. Oskar Blues hit a home run with this one. It's an 8% tallboy can that will leave you smiling. Great nose, great taste, and an extra large serving. Modus Hoperandi from Ska Brewing makes an appearance as well and Rick elaborates. On the other hand, we have a drain pour beer called Ass Kisser Double IPA on this show as well. Truly disgusting, and we call it that way. Musical entertainment this show features a trip down the psycobilly highway with some rocking music from SuperSuckers and Nashville Pussy. That's their name, don't wear it out. We also offer a feeble excuse on why we haven't produced shows for a year. Will this be a last gasp? Or will we resurrect ourselves? Listen up and let us know what you think.

BigFoamyHead continues to focus on startup breweries - our fourth interview from the Big Beers, Belgians and Barleywine festival is with Grimm Brothers Brewhouse - established in 2010 in Loveland. I've been wanting to interview these guys for a long time. I have been following Aaron's progress setting up this business with quite a bit of envy - and he's one of the nicest people I know. There's some great advice in here - namely if you want to do this, just do it!

This year, BigFoamyHead focuses on startup breweries - our first interview is with Brian from Upslope Brewery. New to one of the most competitive markets in the world. Upslope started off canning their delicious beers which is a pretty ambitious way to go.

Lots of good information is coming for home brewers who dream about making the big leap - going pro!

The third of the lost interviews series. Mick interviews Rick.

Simply put, Mick is brilliant. He has one of the most sophisticated homebrew systems I've ever seen. It's computer controlled, SRC relayed, PID controlled, yada-yada. The guy can control his brew day while watching a football game upstairs. When Mick was bored being a EE he went to school to become a pharmacist. This guy is smart.

Rick is a multiple-mega-award-winning guru - and no slouch when it comes to technology. He is an entreprenuer, businessman, father, man-about-town. Multiple Golds, ribbons, awards and a Pro-Am brewer.

Give a mic to one, listen to the other... podcast GOLD! Here's the audio.... well, perhaps 2 minutes of audio. Alcohol was involved!

Liberally borrowing from Wikipedia, the source from which all knowledge flows - Highway 61 is often called "The Blues Highway," because of the course it takes from Minnesota, through Memphis, Tennessee, and into Louisiana (primarily New Orleans). The junction of Highway 61 and Highway 49 in Clarksdale is designated as the famous crossroads where, according to legend, Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for mastery of the blues. A 30-mile (48 km) section of Highway 61 between Clarksdale and Tunica is the longest segment of highway in the world with no horizontal or vertical curves. It was on this stretch of highway that blues singer Bessie Smith died in a car accident on September 26, 1937.

American music producer John Hammond was apparently a rat bastard but he had a great ear for talent - for example Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Gratuitous self promotion and other topics of interest:

  • Big Foamy Head iApp and Twitter feeds are all the rage.
  • KROC World Brewers Forum at the Great American Beer Festival. Stop by the Marriot on Thursday night at the GABF. Grab a pint of Epiphany Brewings "Bitter American"
  • Beer Bloggers Conference in Boulder November 5th - 7th.

The Big Foamy Head Book Club has a recommendation - "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.

Music Samplings:

  • Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
  • Bruce Springsteen - How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live

It is not our nature to discuss politics, but its been getting too weird in Mempho. Dick and Mike go offsite (to Mike's house) to mull over the craziness that is southern politics. And to drink a couple of beers!

In Memoriam:

  • BrewDog Paradox Smokehouse
  • Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary

It's not just the heat, its the humidity. Maybe that's why there are so many lunatics in Memphis Politics. We cover the lows (cause there ain't that many highs) and diverge into a few misstatements of facts about currently living craft brew icons (sorry I thought you were dead Fritz).

Music Samplings:

  • Is You A Viper - Alex Chilton
  • I Need A Little Sugar In My Bowl - Bessie Smith
