Show 27 - New York State of Beer
New York Beer, Beer Commercials, Pre-Valentine warmups and Hangovers - what more do you want? Listen to our ramblings as we drag ourselves through this show, suffering the ill effects of bad beer. We still manage to pull it off though, and have a special musical guest, Rusty Anderson, who has played with Paul McCartney, Elton John, Santana, and many more. Rick cooks some fantastic ribs as well. And you can also learn who these pretty people on your right are. Here's a hint - some of them are us!

- Schmaltz Brewing Company He'Brew Genesis Ale
- Schmaltz Brewing Company He'Brew Messiah Bold

This one is a little different... It opens with a special tune, the Big Foamy Head Blues! Yep, we have a theme song now. We spend a Saturday morning getting tore up with homebrews during the first-ever internet interstate simulpodcast. (Only minor injuries were sustained.)
The Silver Anniversary Show! Lots of good beer from Indiana and a great musical guest, Chris Love. We drink beer (duh) from the Upland Brewing Company, listen to Memphis music and try to sell a used
We are cleaning out the refrigerator on this show, enjoying some beer from the lower southern states of Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. We also have a special musical guest, Nancy Apple, and talk to her about beer, livestock and morning drunks. Our janitorial guest Martin gets a little too carried away with our discussion of Brokeback Mountain. Finally, we give a shout out to our podcast friends Groucho and Chud at The Beer Report. Pour a cold one and enjoy this southern-fried show!
An extra packed show filled with Wisconsin beer, an interview with Joe Galea, some great tunes and Rick has a dream about ubiquitous spotted cows and fat squirrels. You'll have to listen to find out what this all means. Join us for that and a trip to the midwest's largest urinal!
We drink a classic beer - Leinenkuegel. Enjoy the beers with us while we visit with Lisa Morrison, the Beer Goddess and learn what she's been up to. Musical guests include Gary Primich and James Cotton from txmusicgroup.com, and a special guest from here in Memphis, Nancy Apple. We also have some beer news, sex and beer advertising, and some musical reviews.
We have officially opened the Big Foamy Head store at
We enjoy a number of Christmas beers and seasonal beers from around the country, and while obviously under the influence, deliver the year end accounting. Brewpub reviews, Christmas gifts and wish lists, and a Martha Stewart moment where my little girl teaches us to decorate beer bottles and create Reinbeer. All that, plus a whole lot of good music from Candye Kane, Doug Sahm, Syl Johnson, and our friend Joe Galea. This is a long show but full of entertainment. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
