Three Beers Later

Episode 157. It's been two years. What's changed? What's the same? AI is a thing now. Mark has a new job. Connor still hates hazies. But he likes coffee. Football is on the TV. We finally monetized this dang podcast. And we're drinking Nebraska beers. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is episode 156. It's a regular episode. We do a podcast. This is just another one of those episode. In this episode, we counted all of the teams that aren't going to bowl games. We discussed Marvel movies. Connor tells Mark all about his wedding. And we drank some beers. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is it. We're done. We went down to Beatrice to hang out at Stone Hollow. The audio's not great (apologies if you're wearing headphones). The conversation? No idea. This was less about recording a podcast and more about celebrating the last 3 1/2 years of hanging out. It was exactly what we always tried to create with 3BL. We were at a brewery. A bunch of people we knew. Some new faces we just met that day. Bonding over a glass of beer. We talked about people. We talked about events. We talked about ideas. Thank you for listening.

We're getting close to the end. This is the last time we're gonna sit in the studio and record a podcast. Only one more episode remains after this. Then...sunset. In this episode, we do a little reminiscing. But not too much. Connor hates pet parents. Scientists want to send sperm to the moon. Mike Schaefer called in to discuss pizza. And we drank beers gifted to us by James and Daine. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We're reunited with Josh Peterson and Michael Stibbs. Folks,,,,they are our last scheduled guests. In this episode, we look back at a year of COVID. We get some insider sports radio talk. Josh got some insider vaccine. Connor let Mark be in his wedding, and maybe Stibbs is gonna DJ. Josh isn't invited. All while drinking beers from Monolithic Brewing and Cosmic Eye.

Episode 152. There are only a few episodes left. Cherish them. Enjoy them. Love them. In this episode, we welcome back Jack Mitchell. He knows about killing podcasts, so we figured he'd be good to talk to. Walk us through this. He gets passionate about produce. He gets passionate about Nebrasketball. And he gets passionate about local restaurants and carwashes. All while drinking cider from Stone Hollow and a bevy of seltzers.

We're back in the Triple B Headquarters with Josh Batt and Rico Alvarez-Clary. There is memorabilia all around us. It's a little distracting. In this episode, we kind of forgot that we were doing a podcast. That led to a couple edits. Basketball was on one TV. Magnum was on another. Potatoes are no longer gendered. There was a lot going on. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome in to episode 150. No fanfare. We've matured past such things (or, you know, COVID makes partying hard). Regardless, here we are. In this episode, we invite in Mike Schaefer. He brought us beers from New Glarus. They're somewhere between 2 and 5 years old. But not in the cool, cellar-aged sort of way. No, they're just old. Connor and Mark get snippy with each other like an old married couple. Schaefer eggs them on. Everyone goes home happy.

Tonight's guest cancelled, so it's just us. We start slow. We end hot. There's some bleeps. But zero pee breaks. In this episode, we learn about the sort of person who becomes a referee. We discuss how not every local business deserves support (sorry not sorry). Brief discussion about furries. Long discussion about gambling. All while drinking beers/ciders from Zipline, Saro, and Pulpit Rock. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Episode 148 is back on the road. Caleb's here, fresh off a full day of cutting your hair. He's got a cream soda in one hand, a cigar in there other. It's time to do a pod. In this episode, we dig into Caleb's life as your favorite barber. You may not know it, but he's kind of a nerd. Ask him about Warhammer some time. We talk a little about cigars, not at all about beer, but a lot about our Myspace pages. All while drinking beers from Goose Island and Upstream and smoking cigars from the humidor.

This is 3BL, so we drank a trio of Kros Strain beers. But because Chris Whitney came over, we couldn't leave without cracking open a Bourbon County Stout. Chris is running far. Really far. (ChrisRunsForMS.com) Whipped cream vs ice cream. Dessert food trucks. The role of coffee beers. And people who share a birthday with Chris. All while drinking beers from Kros Strain and Goose Island.

Episode 144. Like we always do, we busted out the crowlers on this multiple of 8. It's tradition. It's a rule. We've done it 17 times before. In this episode, we start by kind of tip-toeing around an announcement. Then we make an announcement. Then we got a little political Then Andrew called in. Then we talked about our military and porn. All while drinking beers from Dillon Dam, Cosmic Eye and Sawyer Brewing Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Daine Patton has spent the pandemic collecting beers, just waiting for the day when he could share them again. Now, the wait is over! The Fridge Guy returns! We made a small dent in Daine's beer collection (not really). We DID accidentally open an expensive tiny bottle of beer. No regrets. Spicy nuggets. Full House. Jim Harbaugh. Early voting. Everybody loves Ray Romano. And beers from.....??? Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I had to Google the proper way to pluralize a last name that ends with -s. Rigginses is correct. And the Rigginses are the forces behind Cosmic Eye Brewing. In this episode, Sam and Michelle dig into their first two years of running a brewery. The highs, the lows, the pandemics, the beer trends, all of it. They do the talking while we sip on their beers, including Festbier, Sir Limes-a-lot, and Gaze of the Basilisk.

Ok, that's a cheesy title. You see, we recorded this podcast at Heights Draft Room, and that led to this pun. It's not even a pun, really. It's just a phrase that also includes the word heights. In this episode, we're joined by Heights owner Joey Jones. His story involves all-state baseball, college football, prison hooch, Alcatraz, and beer. Beer is why we're here today. Also for some brownies, but mostly for some beer. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Another road game, this time at Lincoln's most buzzed about new blue building, Muchachos! Joining us is the head Muchach-bro himself, Nick Maestas. In this episode, we discuss the majesty of a secret menu. Nick tells us how much fun it is to open a restaurant during a pandemic. We pine for some good, old-fashioned, consequence free twitter rants. And we wrap it up in under an hour and a half while enjoying the beers and bites at Muchachos.

In this episode, there is some good and there is some bad. The good is beer provided by the good folks at Stone Hollow Brewing (go to their Oktoberfest this weekend.) The bad is the pain inflicted by Brett Baker and the Truth or Dab game he decided to bring along with him. For this episode, we just played Truth or Dab. It's a game where you either have to answer the question posed or suffer capsaicin. 2 million+ scovilles, according to Brett. Listen in as we reveal personal details and suffer when we don't. All while drinking Oktoberfest, Pink Guave Flamango Cider and Czech Please Pilsner from Stone Hollow.

Live is the wrong word. This is a podcast. But while we were recording, we were sitting at Kros Strain in a room with 26 foot tall ceilings lined with barrels. Sitting with us....Bobby Kros and Jeff Hardy. In this episode, we learn about brewery life. Turns out, it's every bit as glamorous as you imagine. Bobby and Jeff discuss the processes of conceptualizing, brewing, and marketing new beers. Connor learns about science. And, of course, a review of the state of reality television. All while drinking beers like the Barrel Aged Krostoberfest, Nilla Nectar, and a Hot as Helles Bloody Mary from Kros Strain.
