Recently on the Jersey Shore, I tried Troegs Dreamweaver and their Pale Ale from their summer brews pack. One of these beers did not knock me off my seat, but the other one did. Watch to see which one and let me know what you think of Troegs in the comments. It’s amazing how different these two beers are. One is simple and elegant and I was not impressed by the simplicity. The other brought a little more sophistication to the table.

In this episode we drink the beers of McAuslan Brewery. Their St Ambroise series: Apricot Wheat, Pale Ale and Oatmeal Stout. We also pay tribute to GaryVee and Dennis Crowley who debuted on Sirius Satellite radio that evening.

Here’s the rundown of beer.

At the 5:00 mark, we try Grey Lady
At 9:37 we dive into the Pink Lady
At 15:44 we talk about “How to taste a beer” and dive into the Summer of Lager around 18:30.
