Big Foamy Head: Episodes

We get to sample some really great beers this show from a very talented Danish Brewer.  Mikkel Borg Bjergsø is running Mikkeller as a one man operation. Mikkel is a “gipsy-brewer” - he rents into breweries, brewing in Denmark, around Europe and the United States. We also recorded the ...
We get all up in the hops with our selections from Port Brewing on this latest installment. Musical pairings and selections by Fab T-Birds, Blondie, Jethro Tull, and Wynonie Johnson, and the ever-popular What’s Bugging Mike. Rick shares a seasonal dose of Class and Culture with “Twas the ...
Okay, what do you do after 3 days at the Great American Beer Festival followed by a downtown Denver pub crawl?  Go home, drink some more beer and record a podcast.  This is a rare show recorded at the BigFoamyHead Studio West.   We are a little incoherent, somewhat obnoxious.  but generally funny.  ...
BigFoamyHead was invited to attend a legitimate beer industry event - the Master Brewers Association of the Americas Rocky Mountain District held a joint technical meeting with the American Society of Brewing Chemists (website) at the MillerCoors brewery in Golden, CO.  The highlight of the evening ...
This is a great show.  Join us at the World Brewers Forum - the Keg Ran Out Clubs KROC annual fund raiser.  Interviews with notables such as James Spencer Basic Brewing Radio/Video with Andy Sparks in tow, Gary Glass AHA, Randy Mosher author of “Tasting Beer”, Tony Simmons President and ...
We stopped drinking beer. Sweet! At least for this show anyway. Zaccman hooked us up with some outstanding berry mead (cause I can’t say melluh, memel, uh mel-o-mel), Mike’s prison-like hooch (courtesy of Johnny Max) is ready, and Rick has a few other bottles he pilfered, so we get to drinking! ...
This show was recorded weeks ago and some of the topics are dated.  Actually, you should skip the third segment all together if you’re easily offended by language, race or politics.  Hey, that means you easily offended person - skip the third segment!  Don’t say you weren’t warned! We ...
Join us as BigFoamyHead hosts a VIP guest - friend of show Joe Galea (http://www.joegaleaband.com) visits us from Down Under.  It’s an Australian-American collaboration.  Joe visits Graceland, STAX records, and performs on Beale Street - then we drink beer and talk about it.  Imagine that?! Beers ...
Join Rick as he wanders around the 22nd Great Taste of the Midwest in Madison, WI.  The weather was perfect, the beers were fantastic!  Interviews include the MHTG Club Mom Judy, Christine and Jeremy from the live event webcast, Isaac from New Holland Brewing, Dean Coffee from Ale Asylum, Mike from ...
Yum. Although no chickens were harmed in the production of this show, we did kill a few quality beers as well as do permanent liver damage. Join us as we get a live-from-the-field report from Rick about Great Taste of the Midwest and several other events. We also do a Rufus Thomas (Mister Funky Chicken) retrospective ...
Yet another show where we clean out the beer cooler. Mike and Dick lean towards IPA while Rick cruises all over the place, we do a clone taste test to see how close Mike’s homebrew gets to a Bells classic, and discuss merchandising opportunities for Women’s Volleyball. Cool tunes by Michael ...
WARNING: NSFW. I’m sure you’ll figure that out quick enough! Yes, hard to believe, but we are 3 years old! We celebrate this milestone with the typical third anniversary gift, beer! Not just any beer, but some special homebrew offerings from our friends James Spencer (Basic Brewing), Phil ...
WARNING: Not Safe For Work (NSFW) due to explicit language. Send the kiddies out of the room. Ahrrrr. Gratuitous pirate noises abound in this episode as we hit Brouwerij Van Steenberge for some high seas (and high alcohol) beverages. And we become victims of pirates ourselves, as wives and neighbors ...
WARNING: Not Safe For Work (NSFW) due to explicit language.  Send the kiddies out of the room. BigFoamyHead goes emo and adds to the national hysteria.  If you watch CNN, even casually, you’ll start to notice that the reporting is formulaic - disaster and financial ruin, pretty much in that order.  ...
You might think, to paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, that “this is a show about nothing.”  Au Contraire mon cheri - this show is about the things we love - beer, blues and BBQ!  I know, you are stunned.  It’s our “wrap up” show from the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival ...
We had so much fun recording this show, we decided to just jump to it and defer the editting nightmares of our last two shows.  Boulder Beer Co is one of the oldest micro breweries out there (43rd to be precise) and the first in Colorado.  Nestled in Boulder Valley in a building known as [...]
Rick joins us live in the studio! After a non-stop debacle of airline jackassery, he finally makes it home. Cary and Alan join Dick and Mike in the nail-biting waiting. Okay, no nails were bitten during the production of this podcast, but we did drink a lot of beer. And we provide Filipino language lessons [...]
It was just one of those days.  Time to drink to forget your blues.  We have some great music this session from Chris Thomas King live on Beale St, Omar and the Howlers and some Tab Benoit.  Listen in as we do a mini rants on actors and earth week, the state of health care and gubment run [...]
We have multiple oh sh*t moments in this show. Leading off with a near alcohol abuse moment, we continue to spiral downward. Luckily the beers don’t. With some great hopped up offerings we smack up our taste buds. Beers sampled on this show: Mojo Rising DP IPA Mike’s IPA Anderson Valley Imperial ...
We get smoked up on this show. Hippie music, smoked malts, and cripple abuse. We get all shlenkerled on this show (listen and you will know what this means) and we have multiple flashbacks. Is it because of the beer or something else? You be the judge. We sample hard the offerings from the Schlekerla [...]
