00:00  Intro and Opening

 

 

05:32  Christmas Ale #1 – Santa’s Private Reserve – Rogue Brewery

“Rogue’s annual holiday offering, Santa’s Private Reserve, is a variation of the classic Saint Rogue Red, but with double the hops--including Chinook, and Centennial, and a mystery hop called Rudolph by head brewer John "more hops" Maier!  This holiday elixir is brewed with two-row Harrington, Klages and Munich malts, along with Hugh Baird 30-37, Carastan 13-17, and Crystal 70-80 malts, plus free range coastal water and John’s proprietary top-fermenting Pacman yeast.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

10:28   Kim shares her favorite Christmas drink – mulled apple cider – but reveals that Williams-Sonoma has a little to do with it!!  We’re not sponsored by them – we just like their product!!  Click here for a link to Mulling Spices at their website.   We’re sure there are other brands out there that are just as good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

13:00   Christmas Music from the Chichester Cathedral Choir, hailing from West Sussex, United Kingdom.   A beautiful rendition of “Love Came Down at Christmas”, just brings back memories of Christmas Eve carol singing!!

You can find this song and others here, at IODA PROMONET

 

 

 

 

 

 

18:46   Phil chats to Chris Reardon, host of United Kingdom Talk about Christmas.  Chris does his show three times a week, and he’s the “salt of the earth”!  If you like a good chat, check out his show, by clicking on the link above.   Thanks Chris!!!

68:00   Lingo and Phil exchange gifts.  What did Mike get Phil that is VERY original??  And what did Phil get Mike to help his education in the world of beers??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

72:12   A little background on Clement C Moore, and the music used in the background of our version.  This was called “Christmas Morning” by Paul Gentry, arranged by Rhesa Siregar.  It is from the album “Born To Be The King”.  More information can be found at Paul’s website http://gentrymusicweb.com/ and a piano arrangement of the song can be found on his album, “Photographs” http://azimuthmusic.com/photographs.html

Many thanks to Paul for allowing us to use the music!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

77:00   Phil and Mike finish up the show by trying a little Christmas Mead, using the same mulling spices as Kim used for her spiced apple cider.  This one comes from the UK, from the Lurgshall Winery in Petworth, West Sussex.

“Christmas Mead is an ideal aperitif. For a festive winter warmer, heat the Mead without boiling, adding half a cinnamon stick, two cloves and a pinch of nutmeg”
