Episode 7: Beer Review 3 - Part 1: Who is the king this pumpkin season...Cardamom?..mum?

Hey ya'll! Welcome back!  In this episode we are closing down the early Fall and pumpkin beer season of 2019 with a stellar line up!  Part 1 sees us reviewing the original Pumking from Southern Tier, Elysian's Dark of the Moon, Smartmouth's marzen, and Alewerks Pumpkin Ale.  We also introduce 'Did you know?' and figure out part of the reason John hates 16 oz cans...

Episode 6: The Lost Episode Time-warp...2019 CrossFit Games and Garage Gyms!

Hey ya'll! We found it!  An episode we thought was lost for all time! So jump into the podcast time machine and take a ride back to the end of July of this year to hear what our 'predictions' and 'prognostications' were during the run-up to the 2019 CrossFit Games.  We take on the rule changes, wildcards, and how the focus has shifted - might be a little late to make any predictions, but - Ben, we had your back the whole time. #Ben11  We also take on garage gyms, the why and why nots, as well as the challenges we have all faced in deciding when to potentially make the shift to - or back - to the garage.  Thanks to Ryan, Steve, John, and Isaiah for joining me in the studio.  Enjoy! (Queue the time-warp music....)

Episode 5: Beer Review 2 - Oktoberfest'agaddon, Everything smells like bananas, and so many Imperials...

Episode 3: Beer Review 1: Part 1 - Candy Bars in a bottle, Grandma's station wagon, and why #BackBeers are better than pretzels

Okay!! Its been a little longer than anticipated since our last episode, but we are back after vacation and back at it - with our FIRST BEER REVIEW!! ...that went so long it had to be broken into 2 parts. Its worth it though as we get through ALOT of great beer in part 1 alone.  We also give our rationale for why we review the way we do, why you can't review just one beer when there's so much out there, and lets face it - we're really just drinking beer and talking about it...review is a STRONG word.

We're super excited to have AJ back, after his hiatus relocating snapping turtles, and between the three of us we managed to get through these brews mentioned in the show:

Hazolutely Choctabulous (Its a candy bar in a bottle people) by Rogue

Say What? (Wood Aged IPA) by Duck Rabbit

Dreamsicle (WestCoast IPA) by NODA

As well as some great #BackBeers: 

Zirktoberfest, by HiWire

Mind Haze, by Firestone Walker

Appalachia, by Wicked Weed

 

Stay tuned for part 2 coming out later this week!

Episode 2: Saving Lives for Time

Welcome back everyone! This week Isaiah, Ryan and I sit down with Steve Jasset and John Hardin, veteran's of the fire service out here in Eastern, NC.  These guys are not only full-time firefighters, but Steve is also the owner and head coach of CrossFit Burn in New Bern, NC.  John is a seasoned CrossFit competitor, former CrossFit Regional athlete, and teammate. Join us as we get their point of view on how functional fitness helps on the job performance, mental toughness, and building stronger teams!

Episode 1: Naked Archery and Deer that taste like Beer

Welcome to the Backcountry, Brews, Barbells and Business Podcast! In this episode I sit down with Isaiah and Ryan to discuss a little about the upcoming deer season, why deer shouldn't taste like IPA's, and how a bow, a few arrows, and some free time right before your shower can get you squared away for bow season...maybe.  Thanks for joining us for our first episode!
