Judah Friedlander: OK, so, no to NYU, then?

05:42PM, 07.18.08

You know why Judah Friedlander (whose four-night stand at The Punchline continues through Sunday) is wicked funny? Because he made me laugh within the dreaded cone of pain: the 24 Mengelesque hours following the belated removal of my wisdom teeth. I was in so much pain -- OK, severe annoyance -- I even forgot to [...]

Warm Weather Beers

06:00PM, 07.13.08

Summer is definitely here, and it's time to try out some beers suited perfectly for the warm weather. Forget those mass-produced, "coldest beer ever", canned pieces of junk, we're talking real craft beer that's full of great taste and refreshing in the heat as well. These beers are perfect out on the porch, by the pool, after a day in the yard - anytime! Don't think that refreshing, quaffable beers can't have flavor - they definitely can! Join us this week as we check out a few! Sampled this week: Saint Arnold Spring Bock, Saint Arnold Summer Pils and Upland Maibock.

Christmas in July

06:00PM, 07.06.08

Ho ho ho! It's Christmas...in July! This week, we're trying out beers we've had in our cellar for about 7 months, since Christmas, and seeing how they held up. As an added bonus, all the beers sampled this week have Christmas-themed names, courtesy of the brewery, Ridgeway, out of England. Join us this week as we check out these festive beers in a combination Seasonal/Brewery spotlight. Got a favorite beer from your region? Send it our way and we'll try it on the show! Email us at podcast [at] davisondraft [dot] com. Sampled this week: Ridgeway: Santa's Butt Porter, Bad Elf, and Lump of Coal.
