Beats, Beards & Brews


Lifelong friends unite to review music, give beard advice and drink beer.

May 25, 2020

After Weezer and Bon Jovi both delayed the release of their new albums, Dan, Evan and Eric pivot to reviewing Reunions, the latest album from alt-country superstars Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. Jason Isbell's thoughtful lyrics manage to connect with everyone. It must be the quarantine. Getting us all stirred up emotionally.

For the beard portion of the podcast, Eric drops a review of Beardbrand's Tea Tree Styling Balm — a styling product from a beard company that he put on his hair and not on his beard. Evan invites Eric out for ice cream. Including that here in the show notes so Evan does not back down on his promise of ice cream.

Finally, in the beer portion of the episode, Eric and Evan drink and review Bixby, an 8.2% imperial sour ale from Lua Brewing in Des Moines. Dan imbibes some Löyly, a 7.1% sahti-style farmhouse ale from Hammerheart Brewing in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Interesting brews for interesting times.
