First off my apologies to the state of Indiana and Any listener who has sent us beer that we didn't drink in a timely fashion. This show is a hard learned lesson that most craft beers are intended to be drank fresh. The plan was to do an Indiana Spotlight show, but we had one spoiled beer after another. It was one for the books.

I've never met anyone who didn't like a kiwi. It's funny how odd that struck me. Just thought I'd share.
Regarding the cellared beers that ought not have been cellared, it happens. I actually liked this show. Who among us, who has a collection of beer, hasn't let a beer sit on a shelf too long? It's too bad for the brewers represented, but at least you both made it clear it wasn't on them. Good stuff.
Eh?
That's because we're awesome! ;) Or do you mean the fruit? I guess I need to catch up on listening to the show...
Fresh, fresh, fresh

I know the Broo Doo is fresh. Fantastic stuff as usual. Barley Island stand-outs for me are the Black Magik Stout and the Barfly. There is a thing about calling Indiana India Pale Ales (fly). Upland has a Dragonfly and Oaken Barrel has Superfly. Never cared for Mishawaka stuff although I never gave them an honest shake. Ard Ri is one fantastic beer from Upland.
Hops do not last and I have a cellar with DFH Golden Shower and DFH Burton Baton that are now all barleywine. It sucks because I had Burton Baton fresh and it was fantastic. Now it is very very hard to put down.

Since Boulder did not bring
Since Boulder did not bring out Sweaty Betty last summer... We (Hoopmaster and I) were forced to find an alternative summer beer... Dirty Helen hit the spot! Glad you finally got to try some!

I am sorry, but this show
I am sorry, but this show SHOULD reflect poorly on these breweries. When a beer goes "bad", it should be from simple oxidation, not souring. If a beer sours with age, it is because the brewery screwed up. Oxidation is inevitable, but souring is not and it should simply not happen if the brewery is doing what it should be doing.
