Show 63 - Brew Crazy Beer Show
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!

This show may not be your cause of death, but you won't know until you click here!
The video experiments continue. We try out Adobe Premiere Elements for some cool effects.

Paraphrasing Marsellus from the cult classic «Pulp Fiction» - We're gonna get medieval on you!
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
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
The Big Foamy Head entourage made a pilgrimage this past May to see the legends of blues, soul and rock and roll - Jerry Lee Lewis, Booker T and the MGs, B.B. King and the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. JB was the last one we expected to leave us, but leave us he did on Christmas this year. Open that special beer you've been saving and join us for a half hour farewell to a true pioneer in the music business and the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, James Brown.
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.
Be warned: There is heavy breathing on this show. Maybe its because of the fantastic Avery beer, maybe its because of the new mics, but it is there in full force. Tom Mascari joins us as we take a tour of the nectar produced by Avery Brewing Company. We lead off with Iggy Pop, noted blues artist, and provide yet another musical moment in history. Big Foamy Head - drink beer, learn stuff. What a concept!

We get our wildlife on with some quality beverages from Duck Rabbit Beer. These guys know how to make a malty brew and we take advantage. Enjoy our distinctive Southern Cuisine as we inhale our show snacks - Barbecue Bologna. MMMMMMMMmmmmm - bologna. Get down with some more chitlin circuit music, plus, we actually lived up to our promise and went on not one, but two, field trips to an Octoberfest beer sampling at a historic church and a throwdown Blues show behind a topless bar. What? Tune in and find out...
