Good friends, good beer, and great soccer are a beautiful combination. The Brewtiful Game invites you to hang out with Blake Braswell, Ron Keller, and Michael Ferris as they discuss all the current soccer stories while introducing you to new craft brew with each episode. Some of the leagues and teams discussed are the Premier League, MLS, NWSL, USMNT, USWNT, and FIFA World Cup.
We sit down to celebrate a new energy at the US Men's National Soccer Team. Discussion includes the major victory against Honduras, the draw against Panama, and what we think of the return of Bruce Arena. We also cover a few of the mid week matches that happened in MLS.
Ron introduces as to a craft malt liquor beverage. You read that right. Listen to find out what we thought.

We talk the collapse of Arsenal along with week 27 of the Premier League, then move on to the exciting opening of the 2017 MLS season. After attending Orlando City SC's opening match, we also share our thoughts on their new soccer specific stadium.
Ron decided to "surprise" us with beer from the makers of our old, umm...favorite(?) Pork Slap. We present to you the next beer we tried from Butternut Brewery, Moo Thunder.
Once we got to talking about MLS, Ron presented us with the real beer of the pod. I delicious Eisbock from Kulmbacher Brewery. This beer also has a cool origin story.

In honor of Valentine's Day, we open this pod with love poems dedicated to our love of the Premier League. An Arsenal heavy discussion is had regarding the future of Arsene Wenger after the drubbing the Gooners took at the hands of FC Bayern Munich, and we look ahead to the FA Cup schedule.
Ron was responsible for this episode's beer pick, and he provided another rare one. This time he went back to Bell's Brewery and introduced us their Hopslam Ale.
Ferris was so red from laughing at the Valentine's Day poems.

After a short break, we are back in the Brewtiful Studio to talk English Premier League Soccer. We discuss match days 23 and 24. We also discuss how we think the English press would have covered the Patriots' win over Atlanta in the Super Bowl. Random references in this episode include: Back to the Future, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Rock starring Sean Connery, and the possible creation of a sexy beer discussion call-in line.
The beer of the pod was picked by Blake. From 21st Amendment Brewery, we introduce you to El Sully. It is an American craft brewery's take on a Mexican lager.

It's back to the English Premier League as we discuss all the points dropped last weekend, and how Chelsea has its foot on the pedal. Are the already destined for glory? Blake and Ferris hope not, but Ron can't stop smiling.
Ferris brought in a great beer pick for this episode. In honor of the Icelandic Swansea midfielder, Gylfi Þór Sigurðsson, he brought in an Icelandic Arctic Pale Ale from Einstök Brewery. This beer is definitely one of the favorites so far. Skál!!!
