Ice Cream Man II

Today, on the 19th episode of Bois & Bar Talk we are drinking Ice Cream Man by Backeast Brewing Company. We’ll call this part 2 since we originally had this drink during season 1 (for all you long-time listeners out there).

Ice Cream Man is an IPA brewed with citra hops out of Bloomfield, CT. It pours a nice hazy orange color similar to orange juice in a glass. The aroma is ripe and fruity meant to resemble a creamsicle, but you can also taste the sweet citrus hops off the bat. 

Overall, we think it’s a special drink that is still pretty limited over here in Connecticut. Anytime we see it on tap, at local bars, or on sale in the store it’s delightful to see. Almost always worth a buy just to stash it at least. It holds up well when it comes to drinking again as we don’t really get sick of the flavor over time.

How we rated Ice Cream Man

• Rob’s Rating: 8.5/10
• Kev’s Rating: 8.6/10

Ice Cream Man Show Notes

We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode.

During Ice Cream Man II, we kicked off the episode doing our typical rating and review of this sweet IPA. We followed by talking about the current state of the United States and how vaccines may impact us in the future. Will we be restricted if we aren’t vaccinated? Cruise Lines are already making requirements that include a vaccination in order to board. 

Kev brought up a random would you rather on the fly. Would you rather know when you are going to die or how? It’s a tough question actually uncomfortable to think about! Rob revealed that he could hardly tie his shoes, and we jumped to the astounding process of tattooing nipples. We wrap up the show with how you dry your hands in public bathrooms and then, somehow, we got to sweatpants, dick prints, and perfect position penis days! The beauty of improv is you truly never know where the show will go.

Rise

Today, on the 17th episode of Bois & Bar Talk we are drinking Rise by Whalers Brewing Company. 

Rise is an APA that packs its own unique flavor from Rhode Island. It pours in a white 12 oz can, featuring the signature whale on the front. The aroma is glassy and you can taste the sweet hops behind this APA. Rise also has a pale yellow color with a foamy white head. Overall, Rise has this certain freshness to it. It has some hops, while providing hints of citrus, pine, and spice. It has a good amount of carbonation making this a very balanced beer to have. 

How we rated Rise

• Rob’s Rating: 7/10
• Kev’s Rating: 8.2/10 

Rise Show Notes

We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode.

Starting off this episode, we covered what we call “the outrage era” that we are currently living in. Everybody from music artists to historical figures are being cancelled over condoning toxic culture. We broke down each generation including Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z. Each generation is classified by age group and we compared the tendencies of them. 

Shortly after, we dug into the TikTok trend where people eat wings together and cover themselves in wing sauce. They dap each other up which makes viewers (including ourselves) unforgettable to look at. Somehow this transitioned us into talking about egging cars. Everybody thinks about how bad egging cars are, but what if somebody cracked eggs inside your gas tank? It would be super undermining. Somehow, we spend the last five minutes of the episode trying to answer the question, are there birds that are also mammals? Tune in to find out!

Julius

Today on the 16th episode of Bois & Bar Talk we are drinking Julius (Our 4th Treehouse beer this season).

The first thing we discussed was the comparison to King Julius which we did earlier in the season and what was the actual difference between the two. A source on Reddit.com made it pretty simple by just explaining that King Julius was just a double IPA version of Julius. King Julius is 8.2% while Julius is only 6.4%.

Treehouse.com describes Julius as an IPA “bursting with fresh hand selected American hops. Julius is a bright, juicy beer filled with flavors and aromas of mango, peach, passionfruit, and a melange of citrus juice. A soft, pillowy mouthfeel and rounded bitterness ensure it will never tire the palate. Loaded with immense flavors as a result of years of focused brewing application and judicious use of the freshest hand selected hops, Julius is a delicious Tree House IPA that is a true joy to drink time and time again”.

The Bois couldn’t get enough of it…

How we rated Julius

• Rob’s Rating: 9.6/10
• Kev’s Rating: 9.7/10

Julius Show Notes

We kick off the show reminding everyone to check out the website Boisandbartalk.com to check out all of our episode posts. We do show notes and ratings for every beer and every episode.

Following that we get into Minimum Wage and whether it should be raised or not, but also we try to keep an open mind to other solutions and not getting tunnel vision on just one. Then we go into the “College Experience”. Is the experience of college worth more than the education itself?

Somehow we circled into roundabouts (no pun intended) and driving in general. Shoutout to all the safe drivers that are annoyed with the ignorant ones!

Finally the episode ends with Kev talking about the Saw movie series. He explains the worst test he has seen while rewatching all seven movies. So, you’re welcome for all the nightmares!
