Books You (Probably) Read in High School – Page 16 – The Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast

1984 by George Orwell

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. All these thought crimes, and more!

Join us next week when we read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

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

Welcome to the Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast, where books aren’t just for school, book clubs aren’t just for women, and beer makes everything better. Each week, the Drunk Guys tackle a famous book while drinking craft beer matching the book, characters, themes, etc.

In our inaugural episode, we read a book you (probably) read in high school, The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. Is Holden a bitch? Should everyone read this book in high school? Is it different reading it as a kid than as an adult? (spoiler: yes) To match the book, we drink some Not Your Father’s Ginger Ale, and some beer you probably drank in high school, Bud Heavy and Lemonade Four Loko.
