Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A Timbo tasting turns into a crisp, persuasive case for West Coast pilsner.
Four Brewers spends Timbo Week comparing Highland Park Brewery's Timbo with versions from Alvarado Street, Cellar Maker, and Everywhere. The focus stays on what makes a hoppy pilsner work: restraint, balance, and a finish that keeps the beer easy to drink.
A loose Kolsch kickoff that blends beer talk with train mishaps, smell riffs, and easy table banter.
The episode opens on Kolsch, but the real pull is the table: four beer people launching a style series while the talk drifts through Orange County train logistics, a shared day out, and the usual run of jokes.
A blunt Ballast Point retrospective with shelf-age suspicion, history, and enough skepticism to keep it moving.
The episode treats Ballast Point as more than a nostalgia stop, moving from the brewery's rise into its less certain present without turning stiff or archival.
A relaxed brewing conversation turns a tricky recipe into the episode’s anchor.
Four Brewers works best when it stays close to the beer, and this one does that early. Joe Senegalia slots in after Tim’s amicable departure, and the talk keeps circling beer-world life, YouTube, and a recipe that sounds plain until the mash bill makes it complicated.
A loose return episode that turns life catch-up into grounded hop talk.
The episode leans on a personal catch-up that actually feels lived in: a death in the family, a house sale, a new home, a move, and the cost of upgrades and a backyard all give the conversation some weight.
Loose beer talk around a mix pack, with freshness, lime, and salinity doing most of the work.
Four Brewers spends this episode on a mix pack after the planned Kolsch show falls through, and that detour keeps the talk anchored in the beer itself.
A casual brewery tasting that keeps asking whether the citrus is doing too much.
Liquid Gravity Brewing Company gets a relaxed, beer-soaked run here, with the hosts working through beers from the brewery and circling back to how they first came across it during the COVID shipping era.
Loose beer talk, sharp opinions, and a few cans that split the room.
Four Brewers stops in at Cellar West Brewing in Lafayette, Colorado, and the appeal is the hosts' back-and-forth as they work through the beers without forcing agreement. One brew lands as soft, rounded, and well balanced.
Bourbon talk, barrel stories, messy good pours.
Bourbon reviews with memory, candor, and community.
Everyday life, thought through together.
