It's Halloween 2024 and Lee and Jerry take us on a journey through Halloweens past and present. There's Halloween themed beer tastings, a real haunted house, vampire daddies, tick-tacking, hallowed parties, a mummer's parade and a moonshine tasting. It's a howling good time with plenty of scary stories and lots of old, weird Pennsylvania nonsense, new weird Virginia nonsense, and even newer, weirder Maryland nonsense! Almost of full hour of horrible fun!

Hop on!

First, Jerry puts Lee through a blind beer taste test (BBTT), then, the discussion turns to a continuation of the battle of the West Catty and Fullerton neighborhoods. There's Tomato Joe, hapless bikers, the Fullerton Drug Cartel and a dead duck. They don't call it "old weird Pennsylvania" for nothing.

In part one of this two part episode, Lee and Jerry review a big, heavy beer from Dogfish Head Brewery and discuss their origin stories from their respective wacked-out, old, weird Pennsylvania neighborhoods.

Hosts Lee Hall and Jerry Brunst met in kindergarten in 1969, in a place called Whitehall, Pennsylvania. In a town called West Catasaqua, in a school called Pleasant Hill Elementary. It was a strange time! They remained friends for more than fifty-five years and now reside in Ashburn, Virginia. This episode tells the tale of how they met in kindergarten back in the day and all the wackiness that goes along with old, weird Pennsylvania. Ach, du leiber! Ein bier, bitte! Oh yeah, they review a hoppy beer from State Of Brewing brewery.
