Beer and B Movies: Episode 63 - The Brain Eaters (1958)

We're back in the comforting waters of AIP this Saturday, with episode 63, The Brain Eaters, with Peach Dreams Milkshake IPA from our good friends at @textilebrews. A mysterious cone pops up outside the quiet town of Riverdale, IL, and at the same time animals are turning up dead, citizens go missing, then return acting very strange, and the government sends epic blowhard Walter K. Powers to suss out the doings. It's the Red Scare era, so the subtext of Communist Russia hangs over everything. We paired it with an IPA featuring peach, a touch of vanilla and lactose. It's peaches and cream in a can. Oh, and Leonard Nimoy (misspelled "Nemoy" in the credits) has a small role.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 62 - Alligator (1980)

We're doing another "nature run amok" film this Saturday, with episode 62, 1980s Alligator, with Crack That Wit, from @whittierbrewingco. A little girl has a pet alligator that her grump of a father flushes down the toilet. Flash forward 10 years, and that little rascal has been feasting on animals pumped full of weird chemicals from the Slade corporation. And it's over 30 long and angry. Angry. It's up to Det. David Madison to save the day. It's smart, funny, with nice scares. John Sayles penned the story, so you know it's going to be good. We paired it up with a Wit Bier that has an added twist: a bit of ginger. It's another fun episode we had a blast making.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 61 - Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)

We are back this Saturday with episode 61, 1977's Kingdom of the Spiders, with Tarantula Hill IPA, generously provided by @tarantulahillbrewingco, from Thousand Oaks. Part of the "nature runs amok" sub-genre of the 1970s, spiders up their game after humans have killed most of their natural prey with pesticides. So, they descend on peaceful Verde Valley and start taking down larger animals: like full grown bulls. You can tell by the poster you're in for some epic William Shatner acting. We found one of our most perfect pairings in this tight, delicious IPA from Tarantula Hill.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 60 - Something Weird (1967)

Herschell Gordon Lewis's 1967 picture Something Weird, with Saturday Night Pants wheat ale and 1923 kölsch generously provided by our friends at Millstream Brewing in the Amana Colonies. A Faustian bargain is made, a serial killer is tracked in Wisconsin, and there's even a ghost haunting a church. It's Herschell Gordon Lewis, so it's cheap and weird, but the beer is great! Join us.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 59 - The Undertaker (1988)

This Saturday, 1988's The Undertaker, with X-Ray Specs, from @strandbrewingco. Joe Spinell, in his final role, stars as Roscoe, the truly unnerving killer in this lost, never finished film. Roscoe's motives are never really clear, but the body count keeps growing. We paired this with a creamy stout, brewed with coconut and cocoa nibs, that Strand generously provided for the episode. It's a trip, and one we hope you take

Beer and B Movies: Episode 58 - The City of the Dead (1960)

This Saturday, episode 58, The City of the Dead drops, with Weekend Escape West Coast IPA from @smogcitybeer and @topatopabrewingco. A witch is burned at the stake in 1692, and curses the villagers that did it. Flash forward to 1960, and Christopher Lee directs one of his students to Whitewood, Mass to continue her studies. Bummer for her that the village is populated by a coven of Witches. It's eerie, creepy stuff, paired with a light, easy drinking west coast IPA Smog City generously provided.

This Saturday, 1944's The Uninvited, with Castle Dangerous from @yorkshiresquarebrewery.

Join us.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 56 - Wild in the Streets (1968)

Wild in the Streets is up next. Episode 56, this Saturday, paired with Confuzzled Wild Ale with Mango, Guava and Pineapple, from @cellador_ales. Max Frost is a powerful, groovy young singer and entrepreneur, with a bold idea. Lower the voting age to 14, make 30 mandatory retirement and ship everyone off to camps to be dosed with LSD at 35. The hippie utopia takes a really bizarre turn in this 1968 counterculture musical, and we paired it up with a bright, flavorful beer kindly provided by Cellador, a wild ale drinkers utopia. Tune in, turn on, and drop out.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 55 - Starcrash (1978)

Boy, oh boy, do we have a fun one this Saturday. Episode 55, and it's 1978's Starcrash, with Unlikely Couple DIPA, a collaboration from @tortugobrewing and @amarokbrewing. This unabashed ripoff of Star Wars has Caroline Munro, Christopher Plummer, and David Hasselhoff. The beer, generously provided by the fine folks at Tortugo, is a smooth, fruity west coast double that matches up with the silly fun of watching the actors deliver some truly odd lines with straight faces. Christopher Plummer, man, he said yes to this. Join us Saturday.

Beer and B Movies: Episode 54 - The Big Clock (1948)

New episode alert! The Big Clock, with Royal Eddy Imperial Hazy IPA provided by @biggrovebrewery is out this Saturday. This film noir casts Ray Milland as George, a man running the Crimeways division of Janoth Publications. He's tasked with finding a murderer, and the man suspected of being the murderer? George. His boss, Earl Janoth, played by the incredible Charles Laughton, really wants this guy found before the police find him. Something's up here. Great, tense drama keeps you glued to your seat. And we paired it with a delicious beer Iowa's Big Grove was generous enough to give us. It's an episode you don't want to miss.
