Episode 49 – Fear and Loathing at Shaun’s Place

Marvel Things! We dive into the new Civil War trailer which shows our first quick look at Black Panther in action! Mike and I give our current thoughts on Jessica Jones. No Spoilers, don’t worry. That will be next weeks episode, so catch up now!

We’re joined this week by Jason where we touch on some often neglected videogame news!  He also brought us a pretty special beer.

He brought us a sample bottle of Sam Adams Rebel Grapefruit IPA!  Currently it’s only on draft with bottles and cans coming in 2016. From the sample, I’ll definitely be picking up a 6 pack of cans when they hit shelves! It’s definitely one of the more interesting new offerings from Sam in awhile.

And, as usual we go down the rabbit hole that is beer…

Samuel Adams Rebel Grapefruit IPA

Style: Barleywine
Container:
 12oz Bottle
Glassware: 
Tulip and Snifter
Overall Nerdsense Rating:
3.0/5
Notes:
 This isn’t Grapefruit Sculpin by any means. It’s surprisingly tasty though. For a Sam, you don’t get the normal “Sam Yeast” taste. The grapefruit probably over powers that. The hoppiness isn’t very big as that is also over powered by the grapefruit. Maybe it’s more of a shandy but I like the grapefruit flavor.
