The Beer Report

If you are looking for another NPR style beer tasting podcast... You are probably going to be disappointed. Who are we kidding? There are about 20 podcasts that sniff, swallow, twaddle and judge beer like fine wine. We are not one of those! We are also not one of those shows filled with fraternity rejects who talk all over each other and sound like they were recorded in their Mom's basement. Your hosts, Groucho and CHUD, do drink a lot of good beer. They even talk about it... Sometimes they even know what we are talking about! That really only happens when Kevin comes on from the Harvest Cafe in Delavan. He's got the current beer smarts! The beer is the catalyst to all points and conversation made on the show. Conversation noodles have offended everyone from Brazilians, camaro drivers and Jim Koch of Sam Adams. Comedy, vulgarity, offensive points of view abound ahead! Enter at your own risk!

Pekin’s #1 podcast (very independent survey) is back at you for another special 1 beer edition.  Sit back and wonder about the masses that struggle with the paltry beer selections in the gluten free section as we try an imported selection of this VERY narrow segment of the beer shelves. Beer on the show:  Nick Stafford’s [...]

BEER DELIVERY ALERT! Groucho and CHUD are happy to welcome Newcastle’s latest offering via a package from the manufacturer. Newcastle Hop’s and Glory Ale. On the show: We waffle back and forth a few times on what we were expecting vs what we got. Groucho edits the New Castle Wiki? Castle Jerry. The mixed drink that is made from a [...]

4 20 Compliant Beer Review!!! LOL! We owe O’Fallon another review… We were drunk! At the end of a great night of shows… Why not do a one off review? It seemed like the smart thing to do at the time! That is what we did… Groucho may slur his words while reading the information cards… [...]

  Groucho went overseas and brought back some contra-band!  All kinds of beer beverages from a brewery on the island.  Also, we were lucky enough to have a Facebook fan, PJ, send us 3 beers from the Maui Brewing company.  It all adds up to over 2 hours of recorded material.  Fortunately Groucho used a chainsaw [...]

Back in the saddle… This show proves that we have not lost a step… Even if Groucho took a vacation and blew off his Beer Report responsibilities!  We are back now…  And after listening to this… I’d say as good or better than ever!  Enjoy! Beers on the show:  Sui Generis by Avery Brewing Company.  Batch [...]

Groucho had a chance to run the recorder a few times during our stay at the DLD!  Check out this piece-meal bit of show! Highlight… Jim the Bartender at Binny’s on the South-side gets interviewed at the urinals Groucho says “Kudos”. We never did find Nick Floyd.  Bob had photographic proof of finding Nick later. Interview with Travis from [...]

We were drunk….  We should have stopped recording… And drinking….  But we couldn’t!  So, the results are online! And we spoil ourselves with a Cantillon Vigneronne.  A classic Belgian beer with blends of lambic, fermented with Italian grapes. Link to the brewers website:  http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_105 We get a little “beery” the first 10 minutes or so.  Dont give up.  [...]

Groucho and CHUD just through down a couple of gallons of beer…  Then we decide to cut another show.  Here is what is left!  If we sound ripped…  Would you be shocked? Beer on the show:  Ale Asylum’s Satisfaction Jacksin.  One more purchase from Groucho’s Winter trip to Wisconsin. Kudos!  Nearly a CHUD rant! Texas drinking rules.  Oklahoma [...]

Week of the Barrells has been running this week at the Old Chicago locations on Peoria IL. Groucho was fortunate enough to run into Stu from O’Fallon, Mike from Left Hand and Steve King from Specialty Distributing (They help organize the event) The Peoria Beerfest starts this Friday night and runs through Saturday.  Check it out!  [...]

Groucho was kicking in the Dells with the kids…  As a trade off for his good behavior…  He was allowed a side trip to the New Glarus Brewery.  Just miles from Madision. LOTS OF BEER TALK ON THIS SHOW!!! New Glarus beers on the show:  Honey Bock, Organic Revolution, Snowshoe, Stone Soup, Hearty Hop, Coffee Stout, and Unplugged [...]
