King Julius

Drink Of The Week

Today on the 12th episode of Season 3 on the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, the Drink Of The Week is King Julius By Treehouse Brewing Co. out of Charlton, MA.

King Julius is described on the can as an exceptionally flavorful juicy and hop saturated beer without rough edges or abrasiveness. In our opinion, it is exactly that. Currently our highest rated beer on the show King Julius is everything it is hyped up to be. At 8.2% ABV you cannot find another beer that tastes as juicy as King Julius.

How We Rated King Julius

• Rob’s Rating: 9.7/10
• Kev’s Rating: 9.2/10

King Julius Show Notes

We start off the episode of course, by completely dissecting King Julius. Following that we somehow got into talking about personal hygiene such as how many times we brush our teeth per day, flossing, and ya know the obvious, missing the toilet bowl when peeing at the bar. Rob talks about his first experience with an electric toothbrush. Are they more effective than a regular old toothbrush? Meanwhile, Kev stated that he never received a single cavity in his life.

We then ask the question, have you ever sat when you peed? ( Dont lie, you have…)

The Bois aren’t known for having much facial hair, so we also raised the question of beard hygiene. How often does food get stuck in beards? Is it worth looking like a manly man if your beard is nasty?

We finish off the episode talking about good ole football and fantasy. Rob came in 3rd this year in our league while Kev went all the way to the finals just to finish in 2nd! With the Eagles out of the playoff picture, the Football Team now has a shot at the playoffs!

Ho Ho Hope For The Kids

Drink Of The Week

Today on the eleventh episode of Season 3 on the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, the Drink Of The Week is Ho Ho Hope For The Kids by CTs own Counterweight Brewing Co. out of Hamden, CT.

Beeradvocate.com describes this beer as a holiday spin on No Hope for the Kids. The biggest difference is a portion of the can sales will be donated to a different youth charity in New Haven each year! Dry hopped with a blend of Columbus, Mosaic, and Simcoe, this version lends bright grapefruit aromas with distinct stone fruit and pine flavors.

How We Rated Ho Ho Hope For The Kids

• Rob’s Rating: 8.4/10

HH Hope For The Kids Show Notes

The Bois kick off the episode by discussing our favorite holidays. Rob with a solid pick of The 4th of July, while Kev went with the cliche Christmas. Following, we go in to the pressure of the holiday season all the way up until Valentines Day!

Next we go into our favorite Christmas memory as a child. It has to be about a gift right? Also has anyone ever mentioned the in between period being a young adult where nobody wants any gifts from you?” A very confusing time… The Bois wrap up the episode by discussing our favorite Christmas movies of all time.

PS. Any Charlie Brown holiday movie should be aired on TV every year for the rest of eternity. It should not be able to be monopolized to one streaming service its an absolute ABOMINATION!

Chocolate Truffle Stout

Drink Of The Week

Today on the tenth episode of Season 3 on the Bois & Bar Talk podcast, the Drink Of The Week is Chocolate Truffle Stout by Hamden, CTs own Thomas Hooker Brewing Co.

Beer Advocate describes this beer as a “sweet stout that is made in collaboration with Connecticut’s favorite chocolatier, Munson’s Chocolate(Avon, CT). Copious amounts of oat malt produce a silky, full bodied beer laced with hints of roast and chocolate derived from dark malts. Each sip ends with a mild chocolate bitterness from Munson’s proprietary cocoa powder, added generously to the brew. To round out this beer, we add several pounds of cocoa nibs at the end of fermentation to provide a fresh chocolate aroma.

How We Rated Chocolate Truffle Stout

• Rob’s Rating: 6.9/10
• Kev’s Rating: 6.9/10

Chocolate Truffle Stout Show Notes

On the 10th episode of Season 3 we celebrated our 50th total episode two years into the process. We get into the holiday spirit while drinking a Chocolate Truffle Stout thinking it was a festive choice. We touched on some of the best and worst Christmas presents we would receive during our childhood while also referencing reddit for some other experiences.

It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t get side tracked and take a X rated turn during this special holiday edition episode touching on subjects not meant for adolescent ears! We go into adult gifts exchanged during our recent Secret Santa. Then we go into the value of socks as a present on Christmas.

Choconaut Show Notes

On this episode of Bois & Bar Talk we started off by talking about TGE/Thanksgiving and our usual festivities (getting drunk) and what has changed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We discuss cutting lines for the big TGE events with overwhelming confidence. Then we spoke about our favorite Thanksgiving foods and which ones we actually hate.

Somehow we segued to life goals, and setting up charities/non-profits once a person becomes wealthy enough. Of course we had to bring up the classic Marshawn Lynch video talking to Richard Sherman about giving back to their own communities. We wrap up the show by discussing how, as a successful/wealthy adult, can ride the line of giving to your future children but also not spoiling them rotten. How would you?
