A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Posted on December 20, 2017March 9, 2019 by Mike

In Episosde 23 of the Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast, we celebrate the Christmas season by reading Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. To get in the spirit, we merrily drink an inadvisable number of beers, including: Schlafly Christmas Ale, Avery Old Jubilation Ale, Ghost by 3 Stars, Three Knocks by Beau’s, Troegs Mad Elf, 8 Maids a Milking by the Bruery (yes, that’s spelled correctly), and the former champion world’s strongest beer Samichlaus by Eggenberg. We talk about why this book made Christmas what it is, how Mike asked his wife to marry him, and a lot about Matt Lauer.

Next week: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Posted on October 18, 2017April 19, 2022 by Mike

In this week’s extra long Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast, we deep dive into George Orwell’s iconic 1984. While drinking three different Rebel IPAs from Sam Adams and Founders Brewing’s Dissenter 2014, we discuss the legacy of the novel, how much Orwell predicted correctly, Norway (for barely explicable reasons), surveillance, and perhaps not surprisingly a certain world leader who is very active on social media.
