what's on tap podcastSpeciation Extropian - Side Project Blueberry Flanders - ep677Summer sours are the best kind of sours. Martin reached into his cellar and brought out a couple of treats for us to try. Originally released in 2019, Speciation Extropian is a wild ale with peaches, cinnamon and vanilla. It was part of the Mikkeller Beer Club, back when that was a thing. We follow it with Side Project Blueberry Flanders (Blend #2). This is a Flanders style red ale aged in Missouri oad red wine barrels with Missouri blueberries. Sadly, not a single Missourian was present for the tasting. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #sourale #wildale2025-07-2414 min
what's on tap podcastBrowar Artezan Fafik - Ziemia Obiecana Grand Kru - ep676Stefan went on a bit of a summer trip and brought back some beers. He visited Poland. The craft beer scene in Poland is strong and very alive. He was able to visit tons of craft beer bars and didn't try the same beer twice. Browar Artezan has released a traditional Polish beers style called a grodziskie. It's a light abv beer with hints of smoke. Fafik comes in at 3.5% and brings in a little hops with nectaron and chinook. This is followed up with Ziemia Obiecana's Grand Kru.

what's on tap podcastCommon Roots Spinner - Burning Sky Anniversaire - ep674It was the best of time. It was the worst of times. Martin brought two beers for this episode, which includes one of Stefan's least favorite styles. Next to Black IPA, witbier is his one of his least favorites. There's a reason in 674 episodes there have never been a review. We love our virginity to Common Roots Spinner. This 4.5% ABV witbier has corriander and orange peel giving it a bit of citrus notes. Burning Sky Anniversaire lifts things back up. This 7% farmhouse ale brings the funk. It's a classic from Burning Sky and this years is just as much...2025-07-0313 min
what's on tap podcastBadlands Brewing - Secret Wave - March DIPA - ep671It's time to play Martin's favorite game. Let's discover a new brewery. It's not so much a game as an obesssion. This time he found a brewery from Ontario, Canada. Badlands Brewing has some releases at Systembolaget so we jumped at the chance to try them. Secret Wave is an annual release of a Hazy IPA. Made with galazy, nectaron and simcoe, it's got tons of tropical and citrus notes. Badlands does a monthly DIPA release. They start with a base recipe and then go crazy with the hops.

what's on tap podcastBatch Brewing This Side Up - Funky Fluid Gelato XTREME: Blue Velvet - ep670We're all about education on this show. Over the years we've learned a lot about beer and beer styles. This episode we learn about NEIPA and how to best store them. Stefan has been doing this for years but Batch Brewing is educating the masses. Because NEIPA tend to settle over time, they created This Side Up, a NEIPA at 8.5% ABV. The label is upside down so you know which way to put in your fridge. Funky Fluid is teaching us that beer can be any color you want. They went with purple. Gelato XTREME: Blue Velvet is an 8...2025-06-0521 min
what's on tap podcastGrona Linjen Bira Bira Bira - Högdalen - ep665Martin made a trip to Stockholm and picked up some beers. The subway system in Stockholm is amazing and worth the time to ride each line to see all the different decorations per stop. It's a lot of fun. Martin stopped on the Grona Linjen or Green Line because they have beers. He picked up two beers from them. Bira Bira Bira is a nice lager at 5% ABV. Högdalen is a 6.2% English IPA. It's always fun to try a new brewery and we'll be riding the Grona Linjen again soon. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #ipa #lager2025-05-0116 min

Martin found a Belgian IPA from Brouwerij-Kerkon. Hop Verdomme is a 7% ABV featuring 7 Flemish hops, which if 7 more than we were aware of. Stefan found an Irish dry stout from Sullivan's brewing. Black Marble comes in at 5.1% and give Guiness a run for it's money.

what's on tap podcastEaster Beers 2025 - ep663It's Easter so that means it's time for Easter beers! What are Easter beers? I used to be boring lagers and brown ales but now it's just beers with an Easter theme. There were 108 beers released at Systembolaget to mark the holiday. Sadly, most of them didn't make it to shops in Malmö. We were able to find a few on the shelves. First is Bökebergs Bryggeri Big Red, a amber lager at 6% ABV. Next is Nynäshamns Ångbryggeri Pumpviken Påsköl, a traditional Strong Mild ale 5.6% AVB. Lastly, Perfectly Squared Brewing Resurrection, a barrel-aged Påskmust flavour...2025-04-1720 min

what's on tap podcastCascade Blueberry Ale 2015 - Bruery Terreux Sans Pagaie 2017 - ep660Martin and Stefan remember when Cascade Brewing released beers into the European webshops. It was a huge moment for EU beer nerds. 10 years later, Cascade has ceased production sadly. They lament the demise of the sour powerhouse that helped bring sour beers to the mainstream. Cascade Blueberry Ale 2015 is from that first release and after 10 years, it's got a lot of life in it. It could probably go another 10 years. They follow it up with another sour powerhouse beer brewery, The Bruery Terreux. Sans Pagaie 2017 is a sour blonde ale with cherries. Their version of a Belgian Kriek. 2025-03-2714 min
what's on tap podcastPanimoyhtio Tuju Pumpattava Barbaari - Tuletorn Astelpaju Juju - ep659Do you like Finnish beers? Of course you do. It's beer! We got to try two Finnish beers that are very local. Panimoyhtio Tuju Pumpattava Barbaari really excited Martin as his love of Conan the Barbarian is legendary. It's a simple 5% AVB lager that is great to drink after you crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women. Tuletorn Brewing has dropped Astelpaju Juju. This smoothie sour is filled with mango with a touch of sea buckthorn. Two very different beers from breweries we hope to start seeing in Sweden. ...2025-03-2019 min

We love sour and fruited beers. Martin was able to procure two subjects for today's episode. Fruktrocket Frukinger Plum is a 6% fruited sour beer that gives us a kiss of plum. Collective Arts Mango, Lime and Jalapeno gose sounds like it might a spicy little number. It's full of mango with a bit of lime and just a jalapeno heat to keep things interesting.

what's on tap podcastClandestin - Non Perignon - Space Cake - ep656We haven't had many Romanian beers. Stefan was able to track down a couple of beers from a Romanian brewery called Clandestin. After butchering the name a few times, Stefan finally figrued out how to pronouce Non Perignon, a 7.5% ABV NEIPA. Brewed in collaboration with Voodoo Craft Brewery (not the US Voodoo), this NEIPA is made with motueka and citra. Space Cake is an imperial stout made with hazelnuts, caramel, vanilla and cinnamon for a rich pastry stout. It's always fun to find new craft beers from around the world. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #neipa #dipa #imperialstout2025-02-2713 min
what's on tap podcastFounders Velvet Rush - Nemesis - ep655Martin went dumpster diving on some webshops and found a couple of Founders barrel aged beers. Released years ago, who knows what horrors they have seen in warehouses and shelves. Remember when Founders was a thing? They've really disappeared from the European market the last few years. Velvet Rush (2021) is a brown ale which should have notes of coffee, chocolate and vanilla extract. Milk sugar was added before being barrel aged. Needless to say, most of that was missing. Nemesis is a straight up American style barleywine, which means it should be a little hoppy tasting. The have definetly f...2025-02-2011 min

This 11% ABV coffee stout starts us out with high expectations. Then we move to Liberty, a vanilla, coocnut and coffee imperial stout aged on bourbon barrels. At only 13% ABV, it's a smooth drink.

While you can find lots of great beers in Austria, you can't find a lot of craft beer. Fear not, he was able to find an incredible marzen from Bierschmiede. Werkstruk is a 5.2% ABV marzen that makes us sad we can't drink it all year round. We jump into the Bavarian region with one of our favorite breweries Schlenkerla.

Evil Twin Brewing The Anti-IPA Is Having a Moment is a rauchbier. At 5% it's a pretty representation of the style.

They took their flagship stout Black Tuesday and added caramelized peaches, vanilla beans, cinnamon, brown sugar and graham crackers. There's a reason more peach stouts aren't on the market.
