Beats, Beards & Brews


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

Oct 18, 2017

Get ready to enter a time machine and travel back to ... 2003. On Episode No. 45 of Beats, Beards & Brews (RIP Episode No. 44), Eric, Evan and Dan review The Darkness' latest album Pinewood Smile.

The boys are a little divided on this one, but there are a few key points they can agree on. 1) The album art for Pinewood Smile is atrocious. 2) Permission to Land is still awesome. 3) Never go full Queen.

When Dan accidentally makes an off-color joke things get weird and the episode rapidly goes downhill from there. The three amigos bust out their best (not quite last minute) Halloween costume ideas for bearded dudes. One costume idea may or may not involve full-size candy bars and "borrowing" children. The Al Borland Rule is born.

As if this episode wasn't unhinged enough, everyone gives their take on Size 7 India Pale Ale from Steel Toe Brewing out of St. Louis Park—a Minneapolis burb—along with plenty of foot-related jokes.
