Session 146: (Post) Where do you find value?

Duration Crisps and the Emergence of the Savoury IPA
What does it take to start a beer trend? When Brut IPA emerged from San Francisco’s now shuttered Social Kitchen and Brewery back in 2018, the idea was quickly picked up and copied the world over. The style fast-became a simulacrum of itself; based on an idea of a beer, rather than any tasting experiences or proper, boots-on-the ground research. It didn’t matter that the idea of using enzymes to ferment dry was an already years-old brewing technique used, for example, since 2012 by Cornwall’s St. Austell Brewery in its Big Job IPA. What mattered most was that there was a bandwagon to be leapt upon, and countless new SKUs to be sold. Every new version seemed like a less-good example of the one that came before it. I wasn’t surprised when the trend petered out to a whimper just months later. When Cold IPA arrived on the scene in 2022, its existence was met with a similar ‘creative’ fervour. I was lucky enough to interview its originator, Kevin Davey of Oregon’s Wayfinder Beer, around the

Whiskey Review: Almost Old Bones Bourbon
Introduction In this week’s review, we’re diving into Almost Old Bones Bourbon , a 9-year-old whiskey from Backbone Bourbon Company, sourced from Bardstown, Kentucky and bottled at 110 proof. Despite the cheeky name, this isn’t a young whiskey—it's a high-rye bourbon aged just shy of a decade and meant to bridge the gap between Backbone’s standard offerings and their 10+ year “Old Bones” line. Batch No. 1 of Almost Old Bones was released at an MSRP of $89, and it caught our eye thanks to its bold labeling and generous proof point. We poured it neat and let it ride—here’s how it fared. This review is taken from our episode " Prisoners (2013) / Almost Old Bones Bourbon ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad: This is just a really beautiful honey, caramel, apple peel, brown sugar. It has all sorts of deep, rich bourbon notes going on. But the honey is what stood out to me—there’s a little bit

Whisky Review: Macallan Double Cask 12 Year Scotch
Introduction This week, we’re diving into one of the most iconic names in single malt Scotch— Macallan . And not just any Macallan, but their Double Cask 12 Year expression. If you’ve ever glanced at the Scotch section of a liquor store, you’ve seen the wall of Macallan bottles and age statements. It’s a lot. In fact, Brad counted 37 different entries when searching online here in Ohio. Today, we’re focusing specifically on the Double Cask, aged in two types of ex-sherry barrels and bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof). It’s a smooth, approachable pour from the Speyside region—and this is our Macallan 12 review. This bottle was actually sent in by one of our Discord followers, so shout-out to them for making this episode possible. We’ve reviewed other Speyside whiskies before—most notably Aberlour—but Macallan’s reputation precedes it. The most expensive bottle of whiskey ever sold was a Macallan. This Double Cask might b
