As we begin our third year, we decide to go for broke and test our mettle with a super-sized show dedicated to brewing excellence. A special guest returns to help us soak up the alcohol of some big, powerful beers.

Preshow beer
Don't know why you have gone away from listing the pre- and post-show beers.
That was helpful when you were doing it.
Anyhow, the preshow beer is Flying Dog Heller Hound.
Also, "Pronunciationgate" returns. Maibock is pronounced "my-bok" not "may-bock" :-)
Finally, now that you have returned from your Asian travels, we hope to hear from you on a more regular basis.
Monkeyballs! I know one CBR
Monkeyballs! I know one CBR adjunct that won't be getting any beer from me in the future. Ha!
I'm sure Aron intended it in
I'm sure Aron intended it in the best possible light. And I don't think anyone should use the words adjunct and monkeyballs in the same sentence ever again. shudder.
It's an easy answer why I
It's an easy answer why I have gotten away from posting the pre and post show beers. Doing the show is a lot of work, and I get lazy when it's time to prepare the notes on the site. I'll try to add them again.
Or maybe I'll put up a show notes wiki so listeners can do the work for me!
We definitely plan on having a nice consistent schedule now that things should be settling down for both of us.
As for the May Bock, I messed up because some beer that I was looking at the other day was actually a "May Bock" not a "Mai Bock", And I either got confused as to which beer it was, or I mispoke, or something along those lines. But thanks for calling us out.
More pronunciation-gate...
Interesting comments on the pronunciation of the "w" in Hefeweizen. I think there may be some regional variation throughout Germany, as most of the southern Germans I have encountered pronounce the w as a soft "v".
Of more interest is the pronunciation of the first syllable, which English speakers tend to pronounce h-eh-f. Most Germans I have come across pronounce it more like h-ay-f, and will give you puzzled looks if you pronounce it the English way until they work out what you are trying to say.
congrats
gents, you outdid yourselves with that lineup... wow! two years is worth the celebration though.
enjoyed the show, as always, and want to say thanks for the selfless nature you both have in this whole thing - you're evidently not in it for the money, or the fame, but clearly to promote better beer.
thanks for entertaining and teaching us for 24 months.
WooHoo!
Congratulations on 2 years! I've been listening from pretty early on and have learned TONS! My wife and I both thank you for your show. I've been a bit of a lurker on the boards since I'm not a home brewer (yet), but am an avid listener.
The super-sized show was great and sounds like y'all were feeling no pain near the end. I hope the chilidogs were tasty.
And I'm glad to see you are coming back around to "Lost."
I have some European friends that are not German, but do speak it, refer to Hefeweizen with the "v" sound, so it may be an accent thing, or like y'all suggested an Anglo-influenced pronunciation.
