The Photo attached is all rights reserved to Tongue in Cheek, and is included in their google photos.

We really do suggest you go to Tongue in Cheek, and if not in an area that you can get to this specific restaurant, you should find something in your local area that is similar, as the meal can be an experience in and of itself. Aaron and his wife really enjoyed their trip to Tongue in Cheek, and plan to go back again soon, and any place you can find with a similar mission will be well worth the time and expense for a nice night out.

Also, if you all have suggestions for a Brunch tour in the Twin Cities, or any locale close to you, let us know, we need more places to go to and experience for you, and give our reactions to.

We haven't taken any photos of the new PC yet, as we're waiting for the desk to be completed, and we're really excited for that to come to be.

We really appreciate you all, and hope you have a great Thanksgiving, and we really are looking forward to completing our first year as a podcast!

Episode #142 3rd Act Brewing

In today's episode we talk about 3rd Act Brewing

Taste a Berliner Weisse from 3rd Act

Finally, we discuss the history of 3rd Act Brewing

While Andrea really enjoys the Berliner Weisse, while Aaron found it didn't mesh with his own palette, as many of the beers that he tastes do.

The Wiki for the Berliner Weisse is not super long, but is an interesting read.

3rd Act Brewing  is located in Woodbury, MN, and has a beautiful taproom there, you can find more about their list of available brews and menu options here.

The Randall (officially known as Randall the Enamel Animal) is an interesting device, and we're sure it will come up again in future episodes. It was indeed originated by Dogfish Head Brewing, we do enjoy when we're right about things.

We're really excited to share our thoughts from our Saint Paul Brewery Crawl starting in a few episodes, so stay tuned for that!

Also, you just have to check out the little hype train that VW is making for their concept elecric vehicles, including the BUZZ that Andrea so adores.

And seriously check out the video of the Solar Powered yacht mansionthat Aaron was talking about.

In further research, the Crowler craze is mostly of the 32 oz size, and 26 is less standard around the country. You can learn more about the Crowler from this infographic.

From our conversation about their merch, please check out the Crowler Carrier we misidentified as a cooler.

We as always would love your support for our own merch, and in particular check out the new This is not Alcohol Mug!

Sadly we never could remember the name of that other brewery down the road, but rest assured, when we do, we'll mention it on the show or on the blog!

Right off the bat, we were confused about which sugar type is table sugar, we were kinda right. See here for a breakdown of the differences between Sucrose and Glucose. Short answer: Sucrose is table sugar!

We want to thank Fulton for producing a delicious product that Aaron can drink with his beer averse palette. Check them out on Facebook, and let them know we sent you. (image credit http://www.fultonbeer.com/beer/blood-orange-hard-seltzer)

Episode #138 Road Food

Sippy Cup Edition

Today we’re tasting a hard latte from Brown Bomber and Insight Brewing’s Rowdy Uncle.

Aaron and Andrea definitely enjoyed the Brown Bomber,
but found it super dangerous while Aaron couldn’t quite get
past the beer flavor in the Rowdy Uncle. He still enjoyed it,
however, and said he could drink a bit of it here and there!

As you journey on the road with us, try to find a Whataburger first founded in
Corpus Christi, Texas. How do you pronounce it? Here’s one pronunciation.

We also talk about Shake Shack, In N Out Burger, Culver’s
(take a look at the Pretzel Haus Pub Burger that Aaron ate before this episode),
Del Taco, Five Guys and more!

For those of you wanting to learn more about the differences between
Frozen Custard and Ice Cream, check this out.

And last, but certainly not least this week: We have officially launched our
merch store at TeeSpring! We have shirts and hoodies that bear our
humble logo for your comfort in the coming cold months
and beyond! Check out the Merch Store here!

Episode #137 Hudson's Hamburgers

In today's episode we explore Coeur D'alene, Idaho, and talk about the taste of historic Hudson's Hamburgers 

We'll also taste a hand-crafted secret spice liqueur, and make a cocktail of sorts

Finally, we learn about the history of this historic tourist-town mainstay

We first want to highlight Hudson's Hamburgers for their down to earth style of burgers. You can check out their Facebook page here.

This week's drink was Bubba's Secret Stills brown liquor, which we added to about 4 ounces of 2% milk over ice. As mentioned in the episode, we endorse the addition of this liquor to eggnog, as we believe it will be a tasty treat, and a fad in the coming holiday season.

If you would like to drive through a redwood tree, you can find some more information here.

Thank you so much for listening, and we hope you have a wonderful day/week. See you next Tuesday!
