Episode 10 - In this milestone 10th episode of The Adam and Dedra Show, we head back to one of our favorite downtown Phoenix spots, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. on Roosevelt Row. We stopped in before a Diamondbacks game for a little pregame action, which of course meant hazy IPAs, food, laughs, and Adam using “due diligence” as an excuse to order a full flight of specialty barrel-aged beers.

We kicked things off with Mini Super from Societe Brewing Company out of San Diego, then dove into our Arizona Wilderness visit, including Every Day is Earth Day, Death to IPA, a few Co-op specialty releases, and a surprise barleywine that Dedra actually enjoyed. We also get into their Wicked Chicken sandwich, duck fat fries, homemade ketchup, and why their downtown Phoenix location is such a great spot for beer, food, and patio time before a game.

Of course, because it’s us, the episode also takes a few turns. We talk Memorial Day weekend, shout out breweries supporting veterans, celebrate episode 10 with spirit fingers, deal with allergy voices, and somehow introduce “Glado” (the guy version of the smoking, New Jersey born voice character of Dedra called "Gladys") to the world. It’s craft beer, food, baseball, and ridiculous conversation... exactly the kind of chaos we love.

Come for the beer, stay for the food, and leave with another Arizona brewery to add to your list.

Cheers!

Episode 8 - We pre-gamed it on this episode which shows especially at the end of this episode. Haha. Great times!!

In this episode of The Adam and Dedra Show, we take a very worthwhile road trip across the Valley to visit Bone Haus Brewing in Fountain Hills, Arizona... a brewery packed with killer beers, amazing views, spooky pirate-skeleton vibes, and one dangerously competitive scavenger hunt.

We talk through our favorite beers from the visit, including hazies, West Coast IPAs, stouts, prickly pear ales, and the standout Octavo Año collaboration with Wren House. Plus, we kick things off with an “Old Fashioned Friday on a Thursday,” debate whether a chocolate peanut butter stout pairs with bourbon, and share why Bone Haus is absolutely worth the drive from Buckeye.

Cheers to great beer, great people, veterans, bone dogs, and breweries that feel like a full-on experience.
