Beats, Beards & Brews


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

Sep 25, 2018

Eric and Dan are back in action (minus Evan) after a second summer hiatus to bring you the Beats, Beards & Brews episode you deserve.

Where's Evan? He recently opened a pizza joint in Des Moines called Papa Keno's Drake, which is understandably taking up his time.

On the first non-trio episode of the podcast, Dan and Eric review Alice in Chains' latest album, Rainier Fog, the band's third album to feature dual lead vocals from William DuVall and Jerry Cantrell. The bearded duo then gives an in-depth review of GoodBeards, a veteran-owned beard company based out of Des Moines, Iowa.

Eric and Dan give reviews of three of its beard oils:

  • Amber Waves (Amber, Sandalwood, Tea Tree)
  • Return to Valhalla (Sea Breeze, Cedarwood, Bergamot)
  • Citrus Knockout (Grapefruit, Lemongrass, Blood Orange)

Eric also shares his thoughts on GoodBeards' hand-crafted Pine Tar and Cedar Castile beard and body soap. Spoiler alert: It's good.

Finally, Dan and Eric drink down two different Stone DIPAs. Eric reviews the 9.1% abv Stone 22nd Anniversary "No Haze" Anni-Matter Double IPA, while Dan gives his fresh take on Fear.Movie.Lions, a hazy, 8.50% New England-style DIPA.
