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

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!

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Posted on August 2, 2017March 9, 2019 by Mike

Episode 3: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Why should everyone read this book? What did Ray Bradbury get right about today’s society, and what did he get wrong? Can beer put out a fire? (kidding) We discuss some of these questions and more in this week’s episode while drinking beer from Threes Crewing and Dogfish Head.

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.
