Featured Beer: Wild River White Ale by Woodland Empire Brewing out of Boise, Idaho, USA.

Remember when ketchup came in colors that ketchup had absolutely no business being? When you could drink something that looked like a lava lamp? Or when Yogos mysteriously survived in your backpack without refrigeration?

In this episode of the Beers On Me Podcast, Mouth, Merlin, and Shiggs crack open some cold ones and take a hilarious trip through the graveyard of forgotten foods, discontinued snacks, failed fast-food experiments, and restaurant chains that seemingly vanished overnight.

We're digging up childhood favorites like Yogos, Butterfinger BB's, PB Max, Magic Middles, Squeezits, Orbitz, Crystal Pepsi, Ecto Cooler, Pizzarias, Olestra WOW! Chips, and Heinz EZ Squirt ketchup. Then we're hitting the Restaurant Graveyard to remember places like Burger Chef, Howard Johnson's, Lum's, Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Steak and Ale, and more.

Why were these foods and restaurants so popular? Why did they disappear? Which spectacular failures were actually ahead of their time? And how many of their ideas quietly shaped the food and restaurants we have today?

Plus, we uncover bizarre food history, questionable marketing decisions, fast-food experiments nobody asked for, beer-steamed hot dogs, and the forgotten restaurant that may deserve some credit for inspiring the modern kids' meal.

Most importantly, we answer the question that really matters:

Should we bring this stuff back—or leave it dead?

Grab a beer, prepare to unlock some deeply buried childhood memories, and join us for a nostalgia-fueled trip back to an era when apparently nobody in the food industry believed children needed adult supervision.

Beers On Me!

Featured Beer: YETI Imperial Stout by Great Divide Brewing Company out of Denver Colorado

What happens when fame, money, and success just… aren’t enough?

In this episode of the Beers On Me Podcast, Mouth, Merlin, and Shiggs crack open a cold one and dive into the wildest, weirdest, and most unexpected celebrity side quests of all time.

We’re talking about those moments when famous people step completely out of their lane and take on careers, passions, and risks that make you stop mid-sip and say:

“Wait… they did WHAT?!”

From bold reinventions to chaotic pivots, passion projects to full-blown identity changes, this episode explores why some celebrities treat fame like the final boss — and others treat it like the beginning of a whole new game.

Along the way, the guys break down:

 🍺 Why successful people chase completely different paths
 🍺 The psychology behind celebrity reinvention
 🍺 When side quests turn into legendary success… or total disaster
 🍺 And what it says about ambition, ego, and curiosity

Whether you're here for the laughs, the stories, or just something to pair with your next drink, this episode is packed with conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, thought-provoking, and straight-up unbelievable.

So grab a beer, kick back, and join Mouth, Merlin, and Shiggs as they explore what happens when the spotlight isn’t enough — and the side quest becomes the story.

Featured Beers: The Dirt Church IPA by Bitterroot Brewing out of Hamilton, Montana, USA and The Flannel Channel Winter Ale by Seapine Brewing Company out of Seattle, Washington, USA.

This week on the Beers On Me Podcast, we crack open the vault on the Brat Pack — the actors, the movies, the scandals, and the Hollywood comebacks that defined (and nearly destroyed) an entire generation of ’80s icons.

From The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo’s Fire to Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and beyond, we break down what really made a Brat Pack movie, why the label stuck, and how a single nickname changed careers forever. We dive into the rise, fall, and redemption arcs of stars like Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, and Demi Moore — including near-career-ending controversies, indie film pivots, and legendary TV comebacks.

Along the way, we roast the movies, revisit the nostalgia, argue about what still holds up, and ask the big question:
 Did the Brat Pack make them famous… or almost ruin everything?

If you love ’80s movies, pop-culture deep dives, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, and a few beers with your nostalgia, this episode is for you.

🎧 Crack a beer, hit play, and step back into detention — Beers On Me style.
