A Beer with Atlas

Capture a taste of Oktoberfest with this "Festbier" from Pint 9 Brewing Company located right here in the same little city Atlas MedStaff HQ is located in, Omaha, NE. This rich, bready, malty marzen style beer will knock your fuzzy fall socks right off of your feet and have you wanting boots upon boots more…

Capture a taste of the fall with this Mayhem Marzen craft beer from Springfield Brewing Company. Only available in the fall during prime Oktoberfest tastings, this malty lager carries "aromas reminiscent of toasted bread, baked crackers and caramel", their brewmaster claims. We're not sure about all that, but it was a fine drink with friends…

You may think creating a great craft beer that is a sour, infused with tangerines, "Star Wars"-themed, *and* crammed into a tall boy is impossible. It's not impossible. We used to knock back 20 oz. cans in our F150 back home, they're not much bigger than a tall boy. Join us as we dive deep…

Show us a solid Oktoberfest option in the month of October and we'll try it. Oktoberfest brews may not be for everyone, but it's a right of the seasonal passage for our Beer Crew. Next up, we dive into this Ayinger Authentic German Oktoberfest, and we like it. You can keep your pumpkin spice. This…

'Tis the season to be thankful, and we have a four-pack of Thanksgiving goodness featured in this episode of "A Beer With Atlas."

Krispie Cakes takes everything you love about Rice Krispies Treats and smashes it into a craft beer. It's a combination you didn't know you needed until you try it. This Pastry Case Ale from Maplewood Brewery has us nostalgic for Saturday morning cartoons and breakfast cereal. We chat about marshmallow trivia, and discuss what really…

We've climbed a mountain or two of beer challenges in our day, but we've never tackled a craft beer like this "Theory of Chaos" brew from Chaos Mountain Brewing. Dropping in at a hefty 18% alcohol content, this beer is the strongest we've ever featured on the podcast. This hardcore brew may not leave us…

Nothing decks our halls quite like a six-pack of good craft beer and great conversation with friends. This week, we kick off the Christmas season with a festive Christmas Ale made in the Scotch tradition from Bell's Brewery out of  Kalamazoo, Michigan. Another brew by Bell's, "Two Hearted Ale", won the Best Beer in America…

While we can't gather 'round the warmth of the hearth together for a Christmas party this year, this mini keg from Breckenridge Brewing will do in a pinch. A more festive ale, Breckenridge describes this one as having flavors of chocolate and caramel that are cultivated in the malt roasting process. This annual brew release…
