Tallcan TV

And now, a word from our sponsor…

“It’s not delicious, but it’s got a lot of kick…”

In this episode of Tallcan TV we discuss the Malt Liquor, Steel Reserve, 211 and our SipSacs, provided for our enjoyment by our sponsor, BaronBob.com . Special guest this episode was MichelleReno, our friend and neighbor. Great to have you on the episode! Also we got another call in from Roscoe from Sparks, NV. Great to hear from you Roscoe. Roscoe shared an experience he had with Steel Reserve that left him a little overwhelmed. Those things happen. Lord knows how those Sparkies love their malt liquor.

Brand: 211 Steel Reserve
Brewed: Steel Brewing Co. Milwaukee, WI
Alcohol: 8.1%
Size: 24oz TallCan
Overall rating: 5
Flavor: 4
Drinkability: 6
Potential to get you sharpiedicked: 7.5

On the whole we didn’t like this Tallcan. From the tangy sweet before taste to the wonky not-right after taste and the hole it ate in my driveway when I poured a little out, I’s say I might not become a frequent 211 Steel Reserve customer. But you never know. It was pretty popular @ the Sparks Fourth of July party, and stranger things have grown on me. (most of the time a steroid creme or a topical antibiotic takes care of them…)

What are your thoughts on 211 Steel Reserve?

The SipSac is the first Tallcan.tv sponsor.

You may have noticed the graphic in the sidebar before now, but if not (and even if you have, I suppose) I’m here to explain it. See, the crew at Tallcan.tv is thinking about you. We ran into a situation during Episode 2 that we figured needed remedying. The problem: when you’re sitting around chatting over a tallcan, the beer gets warm. There’s just too much to drink that fast.

We know. You should be drinking faster, right? Well, the issue we have is that Tallcan.tv is also about the conversation had over tallcans–not just pounding beers. So we need something to keep them cold.

Lucky for us, an alert commenter over at mrjerz.org pointed out the SipSac. We looked at it, loved it, and decided it was a natural marriage. So we contacted the company, told them about Tallcan.tv, and almost immediately got a favorable response. The SipSac was going to be our sponsor.

Today, the five SipSacs arrived via a courier driving a brown truck. We’re official. So the next Tallcan.tv (Episode 5, in case you’re new here) will prominently feature the SipSac, the World’s Best Tallcan Coozy™.

In this episode of Tallcan TV we review Olympia beer in one pint (16 oz) tall cans. We discuss the relative taste compared to Pabst, Henry Weinhards and other great Washington beers, the origins of Olympia beer and what in the HELL Tumwater is. I bought this weeks beers in the Town of Lakeview Oregon, a town that loves gun toting cowboys. We didn’t stay long, but that’s just cause it sucked ass. Though they had good beer…

Moving along, we also discussed the great benefit of hosting our podcast on Viddler.com. Note the commenting in the timeline of the video. Please participate. If (read WHEN) we say something douchey, go ahead and pop in a comment! You have to sign up to comment, and once you do you may as well add us as a friend.

All in all a great episode. Though Jerz had to bring up can size again. I think we’ll let our viewers decide. What is a tallcan? Jerz insists that a tall can is 24 oz and that 16 oz is a “pounder.” His opinion is based mostly on definitions from UrbanDictionary.com. This might be his favorite one.

What is a tall can?

Some would say that a tall can refers to the amount of beer inside a can. Some would say that that amount has to be 24oz. Some would say that duckt taping two beers together is acceptable and makes it a tall can. Some would say that Podcasts should be viewable by young children even though they deal with adult topics like beer drinking. Some would say that a podcast is about high gloss fancy production quality, wide format video and sound quality good enough that you can hear it on laptop speakers.

Let’s go back to the beginning here. Back to episode 1. A tall can is a can that is taller than a standard 12oz can of beer or soda. Tall Can, not man can like Jerz keeps calling it. I’ll get out my measuring tape and have a look see…

I have a dream that some day 16oz beers, and 24oz beers can come together in unity to fight the oppression of the puny and barely buzz inducing threat of the 12oz beer. I have a dream that the world will ban such tripe and hogwash as tallcan segregation and the bigotry of 16oz hate. People who espouse such divisive notions are bringing down the drinking pleasure of all Americans. Jerz is playing into the divide and conquer tactics of big beer producers who want to keep the common man down by forcing him to consume cheep beer in smaller, more expensive and less intoxicating cans.

Ask yourself, Mr. Jerz, do i love beer? Do i love America? Do I want to help or hurt the working class? I believe Mr. Jerz wants to do good. I believe Mr. Jerz thinks he’s doing what he believes is best for America. I just don’t believe he has the experience to lead a Tallcan beer themed podcast. And the above video rant proves that.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. In other words: SUCKIT JERZ!!!

I’m Wolfy and I approve this message.
