We teamed up with Brandon from Ethereal Brewing to dive into the weirdest holiday drinking traditions from America and around the world. From New Year’s Eve and Drinksgiving to Krampusnacht, Christmas Adam, and Hanukkah’s eight days of drinking, we explore how different cultures find excuses to gather, celebrate, and pour another round.

If you’re looking to start a new holiday ritual, or just want to hear about the bizarre ways people party in December, this one’s packed.

We finally did it, we cracked open a bottle of barrel-aged Malört, which might be the most cursed idea in drinking history.
Matt, Jason, and Drew put their taste buds (and mental health) on the line to see whether aging Malört in oak barrels improves it… or just gives it more time to absorb evil.
We break down the nose, the palate, the trauma, the Chicago lore, and whether Malört actually changes once it spends time in wood. Spoiler: it’s still Malört. Very much Malört. Aggressively Malört.
Laugh with us. Cry with us. Pray for us.

We sat down with Brandon from Ethereal Brewing to celebrate their 11-year anniversary and talk about the state of the craft beer industry. With sales dipping nationwide, shifting customer tastes, and big breweries changing strategy, we wanted to hear directly from someone who’s kept a brewery thriving for over a decade.

We cover what’s changed, why hype cycles matter, how brewing philosophies have evolved, and what the next wave of craft beer might look like. And while we’re at it, we crack open Bourbon County Brand Stout 2025 and Minutiae by Phase 3 to compare old-school vs new-school barrel-aged styles.
If you love beer talk, brewery insights, or stout nerdery, this one’s packed.
