Tolbert's Beer Review: Altamont Beer Works Green Collar Pale Ale
For this episode in Tom Tolbert's Beer Reviews, Tommy T is throwing it way back with his Lancelot Link shirt as he brings you another Bay Area beer review. He told us the shirt happened to match the beer can...but we think he did it on purpose.
This week he talks to us about one of Altamont Beer Work's finest brews, the Green Collar Pale Ale. From the Altamont Beer Works website:
A collaboration pale ale brewed for the Oakland A’s home opener with Mraz Brewing Co. out of El Dorado Hills. This pale ale is huge on the tropical/citrus hop aromas and flavors from the Citra, Mosaic, and Lemon Drop hops. With a simple malt bill of 2-row, Pilsner, and Munich malt; this pale is clean, easy drinking, with a touch of malt and hop sweetness…perfect for a tailgate!

New Glory Craft Brewery Citrois IPA Review Sacramento Beer Show
Hey everyone thanks for watching this episode of the Sac Beer Show where I review this juicy citra hopped IPA from New Glory out of Sacramento, CA.
Beer: Citrois
Type: IPA
ABV: 7.0%
Brewery: New Glory Craft Brewery
Central New York: Brew Central – Binghamton Brewing Co.
The modern craft beer connoisseur carries a sophisticated palette, so Jason Gardner and Kristen Lyons have to make great beer. The two engineers build their brews on that simple philosophy, bringing together science, art and a close community of patrons who frequent Binghamton Brewing Co.
Jason and Kristen created their precise process as home-brewers aspiring to produce Belgian-style ales on par with esteemed beer makers like Brewery Ommegang. The inventive pair boosts their own efficiency using homemade solutions in the brewery and applies that same spirit of creativity to their beers.
They tap into the rich agricultural and brewing history of Central New York by sourcing many ingredients locally for an ever-growing lineup of beers served up to faithful followers in their bar-like tasting room.
Kristen: We work really hard to marry the art of making delicious beers and the flavors that go with it. Then, with the process of putting it through the system. I think putting those two things together, it really is exciting and it makes us very passionate about the product that we produce. We have a large variety of beers. We always try to have a diverse selection. We always say that not every one of our beers is for everybody, but everybody will find one of our beers that they love. We really try to create and make beers that are unique and different, in a particular style, and then escaping from that style and putting our twist on something.
Jason: For us, I think it's all about bringing friends together to enjoy a beer that they love.
Kristen: Everyone has a lot of fun when they come here. They get to meet other people and really just mingle, and no one's a stranger. We just really have a good time.
Jason: If you don't come in with a friend, we'll assign you one. When we first starting planning, we were very much interested in using New York ingredients. We have a strong agricultural base here, and a long history of both brewing, and of hop production.
Kristen: We really embrace the farm brewery license and what it stands for, and to help agriculture with the New York State. I think one of the main things is to be able to create those relationships with the farmers and with the hop group producers, and it's a great way to really impact New York State at the most basic level, and help to grow an industry that was the largest in the country up until prohibition.
Jason: One of the great things about being in this area, is that there's a lot of educated customers. There's a lot of folks that already desire craft beer, and strong support, both in the region, and very much locally. In addition, just in New York State, there has been a whole lot of legislative support and real effort to grow the industry. I think that's a win-win for everyone involved.
Kristen: Really, beer people love is our thing.
Jason: It is.
Kristen: We think it's a great thing. It embodies what we really are. We want to make beer that people love. We want people to have that relationship. I really think that embodies what we are.
Jason: That's the great thing about this region, and a growing industry. No matter where you go, you can find a great locally made beer.
Whether tipping a farm-to-glass beer at a brewpub, sampling some moonshine or enjoying a sip of hard cider or wine, you’ll be a part of something special in Brew Central. Central New York brewers, distillers, publicans and vintners offer the state’s best craft beverages on par with any of the United States’ finest pints.

Skunk Hollow American River Trail
Route from Salmon Falls bridge to Cronin Ranch. Great xc ride with multiple options at the ranch. Mike Mraz and I rode this route then my GoPro died. We continued on through the movie set then did the Gerle Loop which is a great flowy single track with lush green foliage. Well worth the ride. The trail back down to the lot is fun. Great views along the ride.
Batch Brewing Company - Feel Good Tap
Stephen Roginson talks about the Feel Good Tap program at Batch Brewing in Detroit, Michigan.
Suspense: Mortmain / Quiet Desperation / Smiley
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.

A Sampling of American Sour Beers
The Great Gildersleeve: French Visitor / Dinner with Katherine / Dinner with the Thompsons
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor.
In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a bachelor raising two children while, at first, administering a girdle manufacturing company (If you want a better corset, of course, it's a Gildersleeve) and then for the bulk of the show's run, serving as Summerfield's water commissioner, between time with the ladies and nights with the boys. The Great Gildersleeve may have been the first broadcast show to be centered on a single parent balancing child-rearing, work, and a social life, done with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve's now slightly understated pomposity.
Many of the original episodes were co-written by John Whedon, father of Tom Whedon (who wrote The Golden Girls), and grandfather of Deadwood scripter Zack Whedon and Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog).
The key to the show was Peary, whose booming voice and facility with moans, groans, laughs, shudders and inflection was as close to body language and facial suggestion as a voice could get. Peary was so effective, and Gildersleeve became so familiar a character, that he was referenced and satirized periodically in other comedies and in a few cartoons.
Suspense: The Man Who Couldn't Lose / Too Little to Live On
The thriller genre can include the following sub-genres,[25] which may include elements of other genres:
Conspiracy thriller: In which the hero/heroine confronts a large, powerful group of enemies whose true extent only s/he recognizes. The Chancellor Manuscript and The Aquitaine Progression by Robert Ludlum fall into this category, as do films such as Awake, Snake Eyes, The Da Vinci Code, Edge of Darkness,[26] Absolute Power, Marathon Man, In the Line of Fire, Capricorn One, and JFK.[27]
Crime thriller: This particular genre is a hybrid type of both crime films and thrillers that offers a suspenseful account of a successful or failed crime or crimes. These films often focus on the criminal(s) rather than a policeman. Central topics of these films include serial killers/murders, robberies, chases, shootouts, heists and double-crosses. Some examples of crime thrillers involving murderers include, Seven,[28] No Country for Old Men, Silence of the Lambs, Untraceable, Mindhunters,[29] Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider, Collateral and Copycat.[30] Examples of crime thrillers involving heists or robberies includes The Asphalt Jungle,[31] The Score,[32] Rififi, Entrapment[33] and The Killing.
Erotic thriller: A type of thriller that has an emphasis on eroticism and where a sexual relationship plays an important role in the plot. It has become popular since the 1980s and the rise of VCR market penetration. The genre includes such films as Basic Instinct,[34] Chloe, Color of Night, Dressed to Kill, Eyes Wide Shut, In the Cut, Lust, Caution and Single White Female.
Political thriller: In which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him. The success of Seven Days in May (1962) by Fletcher Knebel, The Day of the Jackal (1971) by Frederick Forsyth, and The Manchurian Candidate (1959) by Richard Condon established this sub-genre. Examples include, Topaz, Notorious, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Interpreter,[35] Proof of Life,[36] State of Play and The Ghost Writer.
