Tom M is an institution in the Connecticut Craft Beer Community. he loves stouts so much that he created his own brand "It's Always Stout Season" which has raised money for charities such as Closer To Free. As well as helped bartenders financially during the pandemic. Tom joins us in the studio to taste all kinds of stout and tells us how the hashtag #TomMisAdick made him a local celebrity (But don't call him an influencer) Tom tells us how being a pro wrestling fan helped him create his own gimmick as a public figure in the beer world. He teaches us about the rule of 3 when buying bottled stouts. We hear about Tom recently going to his first concert at 43 years old. And we try a plethora of stouts all coming in at over 9% Abv. We try Barreled Souls Brewing Company's Coffee Monster Double Coffee Imperial Stout and Dropped Bars! an imperial stout with Heath Bar. Plus, we try stouts from Labyrinth Brewing, Broad Brook Brewing, Problem Solved Brewing Company And we bust open a year-old stout that we saved from our trip to Raquette River Brewing in Tupper Lake New York.
As we catch a buzz, we talk riveting topics such as 'Steltzers?", Mead, Football, Christmas Movies, Gray in our beards, 80's Sitcoms, Hot wings and more. a great time with the man who brings clout to your stout...Tom M!
