Shift BeersSpaghettaboutit // #112Hey you....spaghettaboutit! This week the gang sits down and spaghetts some craft beers (among other things) to see who brought the best non traditional spaghett! What is a spaghett you ask? Traditionally you take a High Life bottle, take a swig out of it and then drop a half a shot to a full shot of Campari into it. It's a nice little refreshing drink with the added bitterness and citrus from the Campari. We found out over last year that other things tasted great spaghetted as well so we decided to explore it on the show! 2023-02-0758 min

Shift BeersNo Bender November // #105It's been a while! We know. Life at the place we don't work at and our lives in general have been very busy, but we're happy to be back in the saddle! We as a team have been participating in what we have dubbed "no bender November" where we may drink here and there still, but we're making a conscious effort to either not drink or drink very little. So often people in the industry can find themselves drinking often and while it's good in moderation sometimes we all just need a little break. So this show we talk...2022-11-2155 min

Shift BeersGas Station Singles Bring Your Own Adjuncts // #100We celebrated another milestone in the best way we know how. We drank garbage and made it worse by adding more garbage to it. If you've never listened to a Gas Station Single show before we grab the weirdest large format cans we can find at local gas stations to try, but this time we brought our own adjuncts to add to it. Beth kindly upped the ante and suggested the adjuncts had to come fromt the gas station as well so here we are. Buckle up boys and girls, because we are going on an adventure.

We start off with Bryan and Josh joined by Ben from BC's Bottle Lodge Montgomery to send off the space as they are now sadly closed. We did some D'jadrinkin', continued some of our seasonal creep discussion and talked Oktoberfest for a bit. At the end of the show there is a special add on piece with Chris and Josh live drinking spaghetts at a local bar. We all know you can't go wrong with spaghetts!

Shift BeersCiders With Mitch! // #92This week our good friend Mitch joined us once again for a cider show! It was great trying some new ciders while catching up with him and his new gig at a local record label.

Shift BeersMicro Goes Macro // #90This week we explore some of our favorite breweries who sold out to "The Man." While some craft drinkers may write off sell out breweries we at Shift Beers say as long as they're making good beer why not drink them?

Shift BeersHard Carbonated Water // #83This is NOT another seltzer show. We said the last one was the last one we would ever do. This is a carbonated hard water show and boy did we drink a lot of em. 17 to be exact....From super pedestrian stuff like White Claw all the way to some crazy green gak looking shit we ran the rail. We also called AB InBev and actually got through to a really nice lady to talk about their cocktail hour Bud Light Seltzers. Was she as cool as Jeff from Lagunitas? You'll have to tune in to find out! 2022-06-061h 46

Shift BeersBring Your Own Adjuncts Show // #82Nowadays so many breweries are putting crazy things into beer. Instead of rolling the dice to see what is available out there why not take fate into your own hands. We brought some pretty normal beers and stuffed them full of some pretty dumb (but sometimes amazing) things. Thank you to our dear friend Jula for the idea for this show. We took it to 11 over on our Patreon so if you want to see us do even more crazy shit go support us over there at least on the six pack level. Beers we had: 2022-05-2955 min

Shift BeersNice! // #69Noice! We made it to episode 69 and because we're children we decided to do sexy or inappropriate beer names this week! Luckily it seems the industry has been backing off some less than stellar beer names, but there are some still floating around out there. This one is full of laughs, innuendos and just plain awesomeness. You know what else it's full of? Other podcasters! We didn't have a guest this week but we almost broke Josh's phone by dialing in the Truth Beer and Podsequences Podcast. The Gnarly Gnome from Cincy Brewcast, Bret from the Neubert Report our...2022-02-271h 33

Shift BeersThey Have Breweries In Iowa? // #68Our friend and co-worker, Matt, visited family in Iowa recently and brought back some dope beers! Who knew Iowa had breweries? He brought so many awesome beers we had to narrow them down. Thank you to Matt and the Iowa breweries he visited for hooking us up with some beer! They were all better than hot porch Red Dog and hot trunk Guinness so it should be a pretty good show! Beers on the show: Bee Kind Rewind by Clock House Brewing Witch Slap by by Clock House Brewing Double Mosaic Guava Tank Puncher...2022-02-201h 30

Shift BeersWe Had Beers With Danny // #67In this episode we sit down with the one and only Danny Herold who definitely doesn't work at Sonder Brewing here in Cincinnati, Ohio. The topic of the show was crispy boys and we made a little game out of it. We all brought a craft and a macro lager, pilsner or other crispy beer to try. We hid our cans as we poured the beers out and we all had a fun time trying to guess what we all brought! In addition to the main beers Danny was awesome enough to bring some bonus Sonder beers backed up...2022-02-151h 41

Shift BeersRTC: Ready to Chug // #66We're back with another RTD show. What is an RTD you ask? RTD stands for ready to drink and in our case we're drinking cocktails....except we're chugging them so they're technically RTCs. Why? Because if they didn't want us to chug them they wouldn't put them in a can. If you didn't already guess Beth wasn't on the show this week to stop us so we had no adult supervision. Beers (drinks) on the Show: Zing Zang Bloody Mary RTD Jameson Ginger Lime RTD Cherry Bergamot Whiskey Sour RTD by Dogfish Head 2022-01-311h 02

Shift BeersWe’re Back! Best of 2021 Show! // # 63Holy Bajesus! It's been quite a while since our last drinking adventure with all of you wonderful people! We had a tough, long and tiring holiday season, but now that we've passed into 2022 we're back and better than ever! To celebrate the new year we dove into some of our favorite moments on the show in 2021 with a good ole fashioned clip show! Re-live some of the most fun moments last year as we crack open some beers. Damn, it's great to be back! Beers on the show: Oh You, Oh Yeah Golden Imp Stout...2022-01-101h 02

Shift BeersEpisode 55: Beers From Breweries We‘ve Never Tried And Much Much Much MoreWelcome to episode Shifty Five! We sit down with a nuclear scientist, Lee, as he reveals the secrets of the universe such as the double seam, the existence and superiority of center Twix, how fruit flies can multiply right before our eyes and more! Of course we had to chat beer as well so we decided to pick out beers from breweries we have never tried before. It was a lot harder than we thought which is probably a bad thing. We also had a surprise guest! Morgan Freeman, friend of the show joined us unexpectedly which made for...2021-10-251h 54

Shift BeersEpisode 46: The Last Seltzer ShowThis is it....no more seltzer shows. This is the last one we'll ever do. (Until we do another one). It's pretty much the end of the summer so we figured we would get one more seltzer dedicated show in before the weather starts getting cold so here it is. Lots of seltzers and lots of bonus beers. Get in here! 2021-08-231h 18

Shift BeersEpisode 45: International Beers Of MysteryThis week we unleashed our inner Austin Powers and broke out our International Beers Of Mystery. Every beer we tried came from outside of the United States! Josh was gone, but we gained a Wes and we all talked about the first time we got drunk. Tune in for good times! 2021-08-1858 min

Shift BeersEpisode 44: Alternative Alcohol Delivery SystemsAlternative Alcohol Delivery Systems? Yep! We drink some weird alcohol delivered in less common sized and shaped bottles and cans! This week we are joined by Marco who doesn’t work for Valley Vineyards/Cellar Dweller. Not only are the main drinks insane, but there are some doozies in the bonus beers! 2021-08-101h 48

Shift BeersEpisode 43: Beer Styles We Don't LikeWell, this one sounds like a bad show. We all brought a beer in the style category that we don't like and drink em. Yep, everything we had (including most of the bonus beers) we weren't a fan of. There were a few shining stars though which redeemed the episode! Tune in and listen to us drink shit, literally! 2021-08-021h 02

Shift BeersEpisode 42: Stop, Collaborate and ListenThis week on Shift Beers it's all about collaborations! We drink some collaboration beers, a gin and a mead! We say that's a well rounded night of drinking if we do say so ourselves. 2021-07-261h 21

Shift BeersEpisode 41: Jetpack'nThis is one of those shows where we really didn't have a theme. We just brought a bunch of beers and talked about things. One of those things was Jetpack'n. What's jetpack'n you ask? If you don't know you'll just have to listen! Don't worry though we tried some banger beers too! 2021-07-191h 02

Shift BeersEpisode 40: We Drink 40sEpisode 40....so we drink 40s...that's pretty much it. Share your photos of you drinking a 40 with us this week with #shiftbeers for a chance for a virtual high five! 2021-07-121h 19

Shift BeersEpisode 39: Gas Station Singles Vol 2 Live At Fretboard BrewingWell this was a fun one! We knew we had to pull out all the stops when our good friend Mitch from Fretboard Brewing asked us to do a show live on their stage. We thought back to all of the fun times we've had on the show and what we could do to top the best shows we've ever done. There was only one real answer. Gas Station Singles Vol 2! That's right, we visited the best gas stations Cincinnati has to offer and we picked out some bangers from the singles cooler. From Monaco 69 to Four Loko Black...2021-07-061h 02

Shift BeersEpisode 38: Untappd ArcadeWho gets the high score!? This week we invited our friend Kat to the show. She's a bartender in the industry, but has been involved in Cincinnati's chapters of Girls Pint out and Pink Boots Society for even longer! How fitting to have her on the show when we play a game we dubbed Untappd Arcade! Each person brought a beer they thought carries a high rating on the Untappd app without looking. Let's see who brought the highest scoring beer! 2021-06-281h 38

Shift BeersEpisode 37: Bourbons Not From KentuckyIn our business we see a lot of people try to tell us Bourbon can't be made outside of Kentucky. We do our best to correct that common misconception, but some people just don't want to listen. This show is dedicated to those people. This week we sat down and tried some Bourbons that weren't made in Kentucky! Don't worry though, we also had our fair share of bonus beers! 2021-06-211h 25

Shift BeersEpisode 36: Summer Bangers Vol 1Summer is here! (Technically) and we decided to dive into a selection of delicious summer bangers or patio pounders as you will. Chris isn't here this week, but we were able to catch up with Beth and Bryan after not being on last week. We spill a lot of beer and make Bryan's office really sticky too...let's be real though, his office is always sticky. 2021-06-1458 min

Shift BeersEpisode 35: The Chris & Josh ShowEveryone left on vacation and left Chris and Josh alone to record the podcast this week. It's either going to be a train wreck (unless Denzel Washington has something to say about it) or amazing. You can be the judge! 2021-06-071h 25

Shift BeersEpisode 34: The "Other" Queen CityIn this episode Beth's friend Keri joins us from Charlotte, the other Queen City and she brought some beers with her! A lot of beers actually, and a Smirnoff Ice (gotta listen to the show for that one) None of us have been to Charlotte so it was a really awesome experience to enjoy some beers from another region of the country without having to go there! Tune in for a good time mmmmmmkay? 2021-05-311h 38

Shift BeersEpisode 33: Micro or Macro IPA Edition (and a Canadian)If you remember waaaay back in Episode 19 we did Micro or Macro Crispy Boi Edition, well we're back at it again, this time with IPAs. Two of us bought macro IPAs and two of us bought micro or craft IPAs. We all blind tasted them, tried to guess which one was which and we all discuss which ones were our favorites! We also had our very first international guest on the show Bret from the Neubert Report hopped on for a bit while he was walking around Canada drinking beer in the streets because of the lockdowns going on...2021-05-241h 16

Shift BeersEpisode 32: Our milkshakes bring all the boys to the yardThis week we dive into the wide world of milkshake beers! (Mainly IPAs) Josh also forgot to hit record so we got 20min in and had to start over. Fun times! 2021-05-171h 04

Shift BeersEpisode 31: Worse Than MalortAnd we're back! Why why why do we do this to ourselves? Remember the gas station singles episode? Well, we decided to attempt to one up it with the worst liquor we could find at our local liquor store. From shitty scotch, to a rose wine blended vodka and more we dive deep into the world of shitty alcohol. The goal? To find something worse than Malort. In this show we also try a plethora of bonus beers mostly from breweries here in Cincinnati! We also call our friends The Gnarly Gnome and Danny from Sonder Brewing...2021-05-101h 48

Shift BeersEpisode 30: Jeff From LagunitasLook, we're gonna say this episode might start out not the best. As you know we all work in the brewing industry and we've been busting our butts to open up a new taproom at the place we work at so this round of shift beers was a little more tired than normal, but LET US TELL YOU. Jeff from the Lagunitas Taproom in Petaluma, CA saved this episode by being one of the best sports ever. See, Lagunitas put a number on their cans to call with feedback, but for whatever reason it rings in to their Petaluma...2021-04-261h 22

Shift BeersEpisode 29: Shift BoatsIn this episode Josh brings his chug, sip or cellar selections, he has a beef with the entire state of Florida, Bryan shows up late and scares the shit out of Chris and we all drink delicious bonus beers brought by all In all seriousness this show is pretty dope! We drink a beer that's 6 years old! Tune in and see which one it was! 2021-04-191h 36

Shift BeersEpisode 28: The Suck ZoneWelcome to another fantastic episode of Shift Beers! This episode we jump into what we call the new age black and tan...where really we just mix a bunch of beers we think taste good together. Wow your friends with your creations at your next party with these ideas! You won’t believe combo #2! Why is this episode called The Suck Zone? Tune in to find out! Was that enough clickbait to get you to listen? We hope so! 2021-04-121h 03

Shift BeersEpisode 27: ShandyceptionSince spring is in the air the Shift Beers crew decided it was time to crack open some shandies and fruit beers. Josh brought off the shelf shandies, Bryan brought some fruit tarts and Beth brought her build your own shandy kit with some bangin' beers and equally bangin' lemonade and lemonade accessories. With all kinds of lemon, lime, and raspberry (aides) available to us we ended up "shandying" everything on the table....including the pre-made shandies because why not? You looking for some spring chuggers? You came to the right place! Oh yea, and Chris wasn't...2021-04-051h 04

Shift BeersEpisode 26: Cocktail and Cocktail AccessoriesThis episode we dove into the world of cocktails with the newest member to the team at the place we don't work at! Giacomo is a mixologist that has worked at many establishments in Cincinnati and he pre-mixed a few cocktails for us to try on the show. It's always fun to get on the other side of the drinks business especially when we all work at a distillery as well! Full warning, he was developing some signature cocktails for our new brewery space before the episode so we all had a few sips of some of...2021-03-291h 25

Shift BeersEpisode 25: That one time at band camp we replaced Bryan with a buttonWow, this one was a doozy! Bryan sadly could not join us this week, but never fear! We have a sound board now and have replaced him with a button! All jokes aside, Kevin, our operations manager at the place we don't work at jumped in and we tried a lot of delicious beers and one bomb ass cider. We didn't quite have a theme this week, so we wandered around a bit talking about musical instruments we played back in high school and college, video games, and eating edibles. Yes, those kinds. All in...2021-03-221h 33

Shift BeersEpisode 24: Bockfest!We're back at it again with a very special episode of Shift Beers! If you're not from Cincinnati you might not understand this episode, but take some time and learn about bock beers and what makes them so awesome. We love them so much we have a huge festival each year celebrating the style of beer. It involves goats, beer, and sausage queens. Sounds like a great time to us! 2021-03-151h 10

Shift BeersEpisode 23: Beerfest StoriesWe weren't able to enjoy beerfests and beer events this year so we all decided to crack some beers and tell some infamous beerfest stories in this episode. Some of them were funny....others were tragic. From falling down, to throwing up to late night tow truck adventures we've experienced it all. We drank a lot of great beers this episode, but Warped Wing Brewing took the show as Beth brought us a bunch of goodies from a recent visit. We also try some nasty seltzer and that weird Raging Eagle beer from Yuengling. Grab...2021-03-081h 18

Shift BeersEpisode 22: Mardi Gras SpecialThis week we take Shift Beers on the road for the very first time! Beth and her husband, Cory, graciously invited the crew over to their house to indulge in some homemade gumbo made by Cory that we pair with some delicious beers! We even got bonus bourbon hot chocolate at the end of the show. We're all honestly thinking of moving in after this one. We hope your Mardi Gras was as good as ours! 2021-02-2654 min

Shift BeersEpisode 21: We're Legal!Mother of God was this a fun show! We had one of our #1 fans, Julia on the show and we all brought beer that reminded us of a good memory or event in our life because we're all about feeling good on Shift Beers! Of course we shoved a bunch of bonus beers and snacks in as well! Thanks for being so awesome and coming on the show Julia! 2021-02-171h 40

Shift BeersEpisode 20: Shift CidersWelcome to Shift Ciders episode 1! Juuuuust kidding (kind of). This episode we had our good friend Mitch over from Fretboard Brewing Company in Cincinnati. He grew up in New York and he loves his ciders! This has been a show in the making for quite some time and we were glad we got our schedules to align. Mitch bought some goodies from 1911 Cider and we all brought goodies from mostly around the Midwest area as a whole. It ended up being a pretty awesome spread of ciders! It was a refreshing change of pace seeing a...2021-02-081h 26

Shift BeersEpisode 19: Micro or Macro Crispy Boi EditionSome of our most favorite shows to record so far have had some kind of game associated with it so we decided to come up with a new series we plan on doing every once in a while dubbed Micro or Macro. The idea is two of us brought in a macro crispy boi aka lager, pilsner, kolsh, etc and the other two brought in a micro/craft version. We all blind taste them and try to figure out what is what. You'd be surprised at which ones we liked the most! As always we have a...2021-02-011h 17

Shift BeersEpisode 18: Shift CakesYes, you read that right, on this episode we eat a bunch of cake and drink a bunch of beers! Bryan brings his version of sip, chug or cellar, Beth brought a gold medal winning stout from Third Eye Brewing, and we drink some bangers from West Side and Sonder Brewing among others. We also steal Chris's weekend beers before the end of the show and drink those too. This show was a little Cincinnati heavy so sue us, we're from Cincinnati! Kick back and grab a piece of cake and hang out with us! 2021-01-251h 06

Shift BeersEpisode 17: Hazy BoisWe won't deny the influence hazy IPAs have had on the industry for the past handful of years so why not talk about em and drink some? Chris, Beth, Bryan and Josh all bring in a hazy IPA that caught their eye and of course it can't be a Shift Beers episode without bonus beers! We end the show trying some homemade hot sauce made by Beth's husband Cory, new sponsor of the show. 2021-01-201h 18

Shift BeersEpisode 16: Drink all the hype thingsBoy oh boy. This episode we unleash everything that is currently trending in the beer and alcohol world. We opened two flavors of the "seltzer" that is taking over the craft world. Pina Colada and Strawberry Banana Smooj. Yep, we got our hands on it and we give you our two cents on these things that are apparently seltzers. We also crack open some Truly Tea Seltzers, Twisted Teas (how could we not), an artificially aged bourbon and some Cold Brew Jägermeister (eww). Buckle up, this one's a good'n! 2021-01-111h 00

Shift BeersEpisode 15: F*ck 2020!The year is finally over and it's time to reflect on the good and forget the bad. Beth brings her version of chug, sip or cellar and we try a big variety of bonus beers! In true 2020 fashion we had to uproot from our recording spot mid show and move our setup. Even at the end 2020 is a cruel mistress! This show was really laid back and a lot of fun! Let's ring in the new year! 2021-01-031h 09

Shift BeersEpisode 14: Ready To Drink Cocktails (Hard Tomato Soup Edition)Here we are once again a few days before Christmas! (We probably should have saved this episode to do the Christmas beers eh?) We gathered the team and cracked open a few ready to drink canned cocktails. Some were surprisingly delicious, others...not so much. One of them was literally canned tomato soup, and quite honestly that wasn't a bad thing! Listen in if you want the DL on some of the popular RTDs out there. Have you found one that you like? Let us know on social media! Sadly Beth did not join us for this...2020-12-221h 10

Shift BeersEpisode 13: Chug, Sip or Cellar?What's up everyone! Shift Beers is back to it's regular scheduled show time! This week we welcome Jacob, a long time friend of Bryan's. We talk about some of their shenanigans over the years and we play our own game called Chug, Sip or Cellar. Kinda like that FMK game. After that we have quite a few bonus beers and have a good time just hanging out as always! Thanks for listening! 2020-12-131h 10

Shift BeersEpisode 12: Merry Beermas!We are back after a one week hiatus! So sorry we skipped a week, but when you work in the brewing industry the week before any big holiday can get a little crazy. So instead of launching the episode on Monday like we've been doing recently here we are on a Friday! This week we crack open a ton of holiday/Christmas beer offerings mostly from Cincinnati area breweries. We drink some tasty brews from Fretboard, Rhinegeist, Tafts, and more! Chris and Josh tried to be responsible and only bring a couple of beers a piece, but...2020-12-041h 03

Shift BeersEpisode 11: Stout BlowoutWhile we were fishing for ideas for this episode we were eluded by what the heck to focus on. The place that we all don't work at hosted their annual Stout Blowout this weekend so why not do a stout event of our own? The crew cracked open stouts from regular offerings to barrel aged to coffee milk stouts. We even did a four year vertical of Great Lakes Blackout Stout thanks to Beth! Crack a stout, tune in, it's stout season! 2020-11-221h 03

Shift BeersEpisode 10: Seltzer and Seltzer AccessoriesWe've been threatening to do a seltzer show for a while now and here we are! As much as we all want to admit that we don't drink them or like them we all drink them and like them....yep. It's true! We do a deep dive into the current trend (or not trend) of hard seltzers in the craft market and we taste a pretty wide variety of offerings from the Bud Light Ugly Sweater Christmas Variety Pack, to an Ohio offering in the form of Kitty Paw and we bring in one of the most...2020-11-161h 09

Shift BeersEpisode 9: Untappd GolfWe’re always looking at fun and unique ways to try new beers and this one is one of our most favorite ideas we’ve ever had! In this episode we play what we are dubbing: Untappd Golf. Each of us visited a local bottle shop and grabbed a beer off the shelf without looking at its Untappd rating. The goal was to pick the lowest rated beer. The winner gets….bragging rights or something. This show Chris was not with us but we did have our good friend The Gnarly Gnome! He’s a local Cincinnati beer blo...2020-11-091h 26

Shift BeersEpisode 8: Asheville part two, we brought a corkscrew this timeHere we are! Episode 8! We follow back up with all the wonderful Wicked Weed beers that we couldn't open last episode since we forgot a damn corkscrew! We're back with the original crew this week so it wasn't as crazy with so many people. Kick back as we try some pre and post acquisition beers from Wicked Weed! Thanks to Chris for bringing some back for us and thank you to Beth for dipping into her cellar for a few surprise bottles! Here's what we tried: Wicked Weed Sandiaca, a gin barrel aged sour...2020-10-3052 min

Shift BeersEpisode 7: Off to Asheville without a corkscrewChris is back this week and he brought some goodies back from Asheville for us because we Venmo bombed him after he left. We tried a lot of tasty stuff all except for most of the Wicked Weed because they put corks under their caps and we were dumb and didn't have a corkscrew. Kevin, who joins us again, tried to use some of his West Side Cincinnati know-how and open a bottle with a variety of tools such as a hammer, a pair of vice grips, a screw, and more! Also joining us this week for...2020-10-231h 12
