In this episode, we review the new Kickstarter hotness with Fantastic Factories, plan Producer Ross’s bachelor party, and try to combat our holiday scroogery.

Three Floyds Brewing Gumballhead Wheat Beer (3): In Dissecting Our Fun, we’ve played that iconographic engine builder Fantastic Factory and loved it.

New Holland Brewing Dragon’s Milk Raspberry Hibiscus Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout (4): Thanksgiving looms ahead. We help you make a beer shopping list for the big meal with We Make a Pair.

Biere Artisanale La Sirene Praline Belgium Style Chocolate Stout (1): The Armchair Directors discuss the inherent contradiction of “Fuck the System” movies like the Joker.

New Holland Brewing Dragon’s Milk Oatmeal Cookie Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout with Cinnamon, Raisins, Brown Sugar, Oats, and Vanilla Extract (3): Fall is here…at least for the week or so climate change will allow the season to exist. We discuss what we’re most looking forward to in Ask Mixed Six.

Batch Brewing Company Belgian Dark Stong Ale Antwerp’s Placebo One Year Port Barrel (3): In this Mixed Six Mock Draft, we take a blank check, anything-goes approach to planning one producer’s bachelor party.

New Holland Brewing Dragon’s Milk Orange Chocolate Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout with natural Flavors (4): Finally Drunk Enough, Caleb tries to confront his Millenially-induced holiday scroogery before it harms everyone’s fun.

Maddy is sadly returning to her home in the sea, and we thought it best to honor her time with us doing what she loves best: tagging along while we slavishly create more podcast content. 
Thin Man Brewery Third Anniversary DDH Sour Ale (2):  Point Salad might be the simplest thing you play all year. It might also be the thing you play the most and the easiest buying decision you make all year in Dissecting Our Fun.
Falls City Beer Good Times Ginger Lime Shandy (4): We do a Sportsplainer/Nerdsplainer fusion on the joint madness of sports and dice superstitions.
Pohjala’s Rahe Imperial Gose-Style Ale with Sea Buckthorn, Vanilla, Salt, Coriander and Lactose (4): I’m surprised you’re reading this after hacking through that beer description. Anyway, we play We Make a Pair by throwing things into the transformative B-Hole.
Weston Brewing Company Father Mescan Bog Myrtle Ale (3): It’s a Bog Myrtle Ale! It’s a Fire Sale Ask Mixed Six! Crowdpleasing like it’s our job!
Thin Man Brewery Minkey Boodle Raspberry Sour Ale (4): Innervium has to name some sports stadiums. We can’t do worse than reality has here. 
Resurgence Brewing Co. The Surge New England India Pale Ale (4):  Finally Drunk Enough, we create our family mottos and critique the idea of having a subtitle for your clan.

Ep. 57: At the Alamo

By

On July 7, 2019

In Episode

Alamo Drafthouse was kind enough to let us crash the bar, talk with one of their resident experts (David), and generally geek out about movies. It was great! Give it a listen.

Boulevard Brewing Smooth Fuzz: As long-time lovers of the concept of a movie party, we talk about how Alamo selects and programs celebrations of cult films from the past. 

Tie and Timber’s Juicy Brewski IPA: In Armchair Director, we discuss what makes a good movie experience by picking our top three films to see in the theater. 

Piney River’s Lizzy Twister Blackberry: With John Wick leading the way of the action movie renaissance, Mixed Mock Draft performs a seminal function in the new movement: stunt casting. We share our most counter-intuitive picks for actions heroes. 

Boulevard Brewing Space Camper IPA: In This Was a Mistake, we bemoan an experience every film nerd has had. When is a time you screened a weird film for friends before realizing that they were the wrong audience?

4×4 Brewing Toats Magnates: In the spirit of the summer blockbuster, We Make a Pair provides a drink list for famous summer blockbusters of the past. 

Lost Signal’s Smoked Pecan Porter: Arguably too Drunk Enough, we talk about how working in film changes your consumption of it.

You know what people love? Holiday-themed segments in podcasts posted WELL after the holiday has past. Even better? If it’s an advice question whose utility has long ago expired? You know who has two thumbs and is great at podcasting? (visual joke…another thing that works great in podcasts)

Louisville, KY’s Goodwood Hemp Gose, Gose Aged on Hemp: We Make a Pair for the entire World Series. Caleb’s take is…unique. 

Rhinegeist Cincy Made Squirrel Nut Brown Ale: Drunk Enough, we debate the merits of cutting an activity from your schedule intentionally rather than letting it fade out.

Unless you’re listening to the fine audio stylings of the Mixed Six, you can’t win them all. For instance, we can’t win them all with beer tastings; sometimes you come up snake eyes on the ratings system…and the rating system is made by Spencer. Really, we just need to prepare for a beating on this one. It’s going to hurt.

Logboat Brewing Co’s Flybye Farmhouse Ale: In Dissecting Our Fun, we discuss Concordia and its terribly interesting scoring mechanics.

Logboat Brewing Co’s Dark Matter: We Make a Pair puts some of our favorite beers with our favorite video games.

Crown Valley Blackberry Cider: While drinking a cider, Grant wants to know about the American sweet tooth and alcoholic consumption. The Professional Drinkers weigh in. 

Bur Oak Lily Orange and Raspberry Fruit Ale: Ask Mixed Six wants to know if there is any way around the crass salesmanship required of charity fundraising.

Logboat Brewing Co. Shipped Spiced Ale: Binger Binger recasts televisions favorite elderly detectives for a new millennia. 

Logboat Brewing Co Bennie Mocha Stout: Finally Drunk Enough, we agonize of the liminal space between projects.

Please don’t forget to back Party Fowl: The Game of Drunk Ducks. It’s the boardgame that Mixed Six has been designing as far back as episode 11!

We’re back at it again with the high-octane, summer blockbuster of a podcast that you’ve all come to know and love. Prepare for all the thrills, chills, and spills your ears can handle.

Tallgrass Brewing Co.’s 8-Bit Pale Ale: In Dissecting Our Fun, we talk about our love for Flamme Rouge and the problem of the “closet” expansion. 

Scuttlebutt Brewing Co. Homeport Blonde Ale: It’s a Mixed Six FUSION. We combine We Make a Pair and Sportsplainer into “Sportsplain a Pair.” One host provides the sport; the other provides a drink to accompany it.

Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA: In a return to our new writing segment, We’ll Never B’Author, the hosts overcome their profound biological, geographical, and historical ignorance to write the greatest period kung-fu film you’ll never see.

Bell’s Brewing Expedition Stout: Finally Drunk Enough, Spencer and Caleb muse about a single piece of media they couldn’t have lived without.
