E48 Red White & Blue Brews for the 4th of July

Home Brew Rock Stars Podcast

A bottle rocket for your thoughts?! For our 48th episode as we approach another 4th of July, the crew discusses why 'Merica likes their freedom, and their beer. We dip our toes into some facts about the 4th of July, how our forefathers started our celebration of independence (of who many were home brewers themselves), feature and taste a few beers for Independence Day and continue our 'Merica theme with some new music and do a fun quiz game called Patriot Beer God (how red, white and blue is you're beer intellect?).

Did you know congress didn't actually vote for independence on July 4, and the Fourth of July didn't become an official holiday until over a century after America declared its independence? Listen . close and you'll find out a lot of fun facts about how and why we celebrate our freedom. Plus, we'll do a few beer tastings like Yankee USA IPA from Wisconsin Brewing Co, Revolution's Freedom of Speach, Buckledown's Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts Lager and Liberty IPA from Anchor Brewing (which we also share a clone recipe for all you patriotic home brewers).

Speaking of Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts, we listen to samples from their latest effort called "In the Meantime", a sassy 'mericana digital 4-song EP, with song titles of Start it Up, Gangrene, Revolution Day and High Street, and just $4.00 to own it. A full length album called OhBAHOY will be out after in the Fall 2019.

Make sure to revisit later in July for our 50th episode, sure to take you back in time to the beer world of 1969. #drinkitup
