365: It's Not Too Shidy

Episode 365: This week, another mixed pack of brews, this time from Oskar Blues Brewery.

In this episode of the Four Brewers podcast, we initially planned a Kolsch-themed show but shifted to reviewing a 15-pack from Oskar Blues after a trip to Total Wine. The beers had varying freshness dates, some as old as December, leading to mixed experiences. Greg got his pack for free after complaining to Total Wine about the old dates, sparking a discussion on the need for better date checking and our preferences for local stores. We reminisced about past beers and the impact of storage conditions on quality.

Comparing the current beers to old favorites like Death by Coconut, we expressed disappointment with the quality of the Oskar Blues beers. A humorous segment emerged as we mixed Monster Energy drinks with various beers, resulting in some surprisingly decent combinations. We concluded with Jason popping open a barrel-aged Ten FIDY that he’d been cellaring for quite a while.
