Chip the Beer Guy Rock 107 – Duck Rabbit

As some of you may have noticed, I was out of town last week, and alas the deep south doesn’t appear to get Rock 107.  No I didn’t have access to listen on-line so I thought this week we’d catch up and post two weeks of CBG shows.  Thankfully the guys made it easy on me because today’s Jim Koch “Sammosa” show was a rerun from last year.

It was tremendous surprise and compliment to hear the guys mention the mybeerbuzz “Hoppler Radar” T-Shirts…and yes these are an original design I did for myhopart.com.  It was also wonderful to hear mention of one of my first and favorite breweries, Weeping Radish.  This was one of the first craft beers I started really enjoying and one we try to visit every year on vacation…

Today’s (or should I say last Friday’s) beer of the day was Duck Rabbit Porter.  This is also a North Carolina brewery like Weeping Radish and a favorite of mine as well.  I’ve always enjoyed the rorschach, “is it a duck or is it a rabbit” label, but didn’t realize it was a connection to the Duck Rabbit master brewer’s past career. 

Very educational show guys.  I feel smarter already, but I’ve now perhaps disturbed the delicate “smarts vs dumbs” brain balance I’ve been working so hard to maintain.  I suddenly feel like calculating the number of radians in a semi-circle.  Clearly the “smarts” in my system are too high…but the good news is that it’s Friday.  I hate to do it but I guess I’m going to have to burn a few brain cells tonight, purely for scientific purposes to get the “dumbs” back in balance.

Cheers and Pi to all…Clicky HERE for the podcast.
