When a two-week illness hiatus brings two beer enthusiasts back together, the conversation flows as smoothly as their first pour—Ellicottville's French Connection barrel-aged beer. This cabernet-influenced brew creates the perfect backdrop for Rick's revelation about his fitness journey as he approaches his 50th birthday.
"I'm turning 50-ish and it's been bothering me a little bit," Rick admits, before sharing his impressive 11-pound weight loss through intermittent fasting and daily workouts. It's a refreshingly honest moment that showcases how craft beer lovers can balance their passion with health-conscious choices. The conversation weaves through illness recovery, workout routines, and the realization that feeling young at heart doesn't always match what happens when you bend down to tie your shoes.
The tasting journey continues with Hoof Hearted's Flavor Mania, a complex brunch sour brewed with blueberries, blackberries, cherries, vanilla, almonds, and maple syrup. Both hosts are pleasantly surprised by its drinkability, awarding it a solid 9/10 and recommending it as an excellent introduction for sour beer newcomers. Between sips, they share awkward bar encounters, embarrassing moments, and anticipation for upcoming spring activities—creating that familiar feeling of eavesdropping on two friends catching up over drinks.
Whether you're curious about barrel-aged beers with wine influences, navigating fitness while maintaining your beer hobby, or simply enjoy authentic conversations that don't shy away from life's uncomfortable moments, this episode delivers with the unfiltered honesty that keeps listeners coming back.
