Drinking Biddies
“This is a 60 percent true story.” “I would have this with the Queen.” “The dead one?” Keryl and Jamie close out 2025 by clearing the decks (fridge) of some ciders and beer that have been waiting to make their on mic appearance. Come for the story of their accidental cider side quest during their best friends’ wedding weekend; stay for the news of Keryl's out-of-state adventure. While the Biddies will mostly be in different places in 2026, the magic of technology (and, uh, airplanes) means the pod will continue on. So get ready for some...

79: Lost Lake Cider Dry Apple Cider feat. Laurie (“Laurosaurus”)
Drinking Biddies
“This is the worst podcast ever for me to be on.” “That sounds like cider: weird wine plus apple juice.” “I only get my cigars from small businesses.” Back in February, Laurie joined the Biddies all the way from New York for Jamie’s birthday, Laurie’s half birthday, and Keryl’s… general enjoyment… to finally be on the pod! A trip down memory lane, an argument over who really supports small businesses, and a new nickname… plus a very lively discussion over the can design. Laurie is the second guest to spontaneously do ASMR (why does this keep...

“Live” from LA Beer Week Kickoff Event… it’s the Biddies!
Drinking Biddies
Move over Hazy IPAs, Mexican Lager is *the* trending beer of the craft beer scene for Summer 2024. (Don’t sleep on those Guava Sours, though…) We are back. SO. BACK. For the first time since 2019, the Drinking Biddies attend the LA Independent Beer Fest, which kicks off LA’s annual beer week. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER… we brought our recording equipment into the field. This special ep of the pod was recorded just two days ago, on June 15, 2024 in Long Beach, CA at the ShoreLine Aquatic Park. Which means LA Beer Week is happening right now, so if you want to check out any and...

75: Crowns & Hops Mama’s Peaches feat. Acquah Dansoh
Drinking Biddies
The first episode of 2024 is finally here! (Recorded… a while back. But let’s ignore that part.) “2024 is awesome so far. I feel like that comment is not gonna age well.” “I was double-fisting Goose and cran and my hands were never empty.” “I need cameras on this show!” We’ve had this one brewing for a while, pun intended!! Better late than never… right? Look, we are late to the party for the year but we showed up and that’s what matters. Okay, enough of that. This episode features a fruited sour from a local brewery that we are absolutely gaga for...

74: Deschutes Jubelale Feat. Grant Lyon (And a farewell to Anchor Christmas Ale!)
Drinking Biddies
Happy Holidays from the Biddies!!! “Statistically people drink the most in Wisconsin and BOY do they let you know it!” “I like the specialness of Christmas music. The fact that it only comes around every once in a while, like the McRib.” For the first time since 2016, we welcome Grant Lyon back on the pod. Because when we think Christmas, we think Grant. Tune in for some Christmas tunes, Big Dad Energy, and some really big New Beers Resolutions (TM pending). Of course, we couldn’t say farewell to 2023 without a proper tribute to Anchor Christmas Ale. After a...

73: Dogfish Head Punkin Ale feat. Ben
Drinking Biddies
Happy Halloween! (close enough) JAMIE: We should build a cannon in the shape of a giant beer and then we use the propulsion of the beer… to launch the pumpkin. KERYL: I don’t think Jamie ever took physics. BEN: Growing up a lot of my costumes were dictated by what my sister wanted to be. I was the Beast for like three years because she wanted to be Belle.

72: Paperback Brewing One Night with Nora feat. Jackie Tunkel (Mom of the Pod!)
Drinking Biddies
“You could say I get it from my mother, but I think my mother gets it from me.” “You two gals inspired us to think about the beer universe more.” “It’s as exciting to have a really great beer as it is a really fantastic bottle of wine.” We’ve had dads of the pod, siblings of the pod, but on Episode 72 we finally land a Mom-of-the-Pod… she needs no introduction, but she got one anyway… the one, the only, Jackie Tunkel! Jamie’s mom joins us for a blonde ale and regales us with tales of sipping sangria and singing at the bar back in her...

BIDDIES! We are so thrilled to have Ethan Siegler as our guest this week. This episode is long, but totally worth it.

We met Ethan when he interviewed us for his graduate thesis project in which he researched beer consumers. That’s right! BEER CONSUMERS! Like us! And you!
