Haunt, Sphinx Beard, Cherries Drewbilee

Beats, Beards & Brews

Evan and Eric reunite on their respective mics once again amid the never-ending pandemic — they were social distancing before it was cool — to bring you another action-packed episode of Beats, Beards & Brews full of blazing guitar solos and ... cherries?

The boys kick things off with a review of traditional heavy metal band Haunt's sixth full-length studio album Beautiful Distraction — not to be confused with the hit 311 song "Beautiful Disaster." Did we already mention the guitar solos? They are pretty good!

Prolific songwriter Trevor William Church, "the Rivers Cuomo of heavy metal" cranks out albums at an epic pace, so listen to this episode fast before he release another one!

Haunt tracks previewed on this episode include:

1. Fortunes Wheel
2. Sea of Dreams
3. Keeping Watch

For the beard portion of the episode, Eric reviews the Beard Oil Sample Pack Set from Sphinx Beard, straight outta Egypt ... we think? Listen for his thoughts on the sample pack, including his surprise favorite Sphinx cologne-inspired scent: Chokecherry!

Finally, Evan and Eric drink and rate Cherries Drewbilee, a heavy-hitting, 13% barrel-aged quadruple ale with cherries from Confluence Brewing out of Des Moines, Iowa. Spoiler alert: It doesn't taste like those juicy red Pac-Man cherries. At least we don't imagine so. What do those cherries taste like?
