Beats, Beards & Brews


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

Sep 13, 2019

It took Tool 13 years to release Fear Inoculum, so by comparison, Eric, Evan and Dan taking 3 months between episodes isn't so bad.

Welcome to Episode No. 69 of Beats, Beards & Brews (nice).

The gang first tackles Tool's new album where the non-interlude songs are all 10+ minutes in length. Epic prog or bloated nerd rock?

You'll have to listen to the episode to find out.

Next up, Eric talks about his switch to natural deodorant (he uses Schmidt's brand deodorant right now), while Dan and Evan throw out some skepticism. Something for you non-bearded folks to enjoy!

New Dad Evan (congrats!) leaves the episode to tend to his child, so Dan and Eric wrap things up with some reviews of a couple cocktail-inspired beers, more specifically, two Russian cocktail-inspired beers.

Here's a bulleted list for easy reference/enjoyment:

They also give shout-outs to two solid Iowa craft beers, Big Grove's Arms Race and Firetrucker Brewery's Copper Cat.

Stay tuned (hopefully) for more new episodes!
