• El Segundo Brewing Company's Clasica Mexican Lager
    May 4 2025

    “Ladies and gentlemen, beer lovers far and wide… we’re back! Welcome to the grand return of The Hoppy Time Podcast— your long-lost, hop-happy haven for craft beer reviews, questionable opinions, and way too many tasting notes. It’s been a year, but we’re shaking off the dust and cracking open the first round of many more to come.

    Today, we’re easing back into the groove with a smooth, crisp refresher: Clásica Mexican Lager by El Segundo Brewing Company — handpicked by our very own Flameskid, who clearly knows how to make a comeback in style. And if that name sounds familiar, it should — we actually reviewed El Segundo way back in Season 2, Episode 14, so it’s like catching up with an old friend… who brought beer.

    So grab something cold, sit back, and join us for our long-awaited return — it’s season whatever-we’re-calling-this, and it’s starting now on The Hoppy Time Podcast!”

  • Huyghe Brewery's Deliria
    Sep 19 2021

    “Welcome back to The Hoppy Time Podcast — where we sip, review, and occasionally say things we regret after a 8.5% Belgian ale. Today we’re getting fancy with a little something from the folks who brought you pink elephants and strong opinions — Deliria by Huyghe Brewery.

    This one’s a Belgian Blonde Ale brewed to celebrate International Women’s Day, and let me tell you — it’s delicate, floral, deceptively smooth, and packs enough punch to make you question all your life choices by the third sip. Think champagne’s rebellious, beer-loving cousin who still shows up to brunch in heels.

    So pop a bottle, raise a glass, and join us as we toast to taste, tradition, and trying not to mispronounce ‘Huyghe’ — right here on The Hoppy Time Podcast.”

    “Welcome back to The Hoppy Time Podcast — the show where the hops are heavy, the laughs are loud, and the pours never stop. Today... buckle up, because it’s time for our second ever MEGA episode!

    That’s right — we’ve got a full house in the studio. Returning to the mic is our recurring special guest Eli, and joining us for the first time are two absolute legends: Mr. Mayhem and Hugo. With this crew, you already know things got wild.

    And as for the beer? Honestly... we lost count. There were way too many to name — styles flying, cans cracking, and chaos pouring — but if you want to know what we drank, you’ll just have to listen and find out.

    So grab a drink, brace yourself, and dive into the madness — it’s another unforgettable round on The Hoppy Time Podcast.”

  • Voodoo Ranger's V2K & Future Hops IPA
    Sep 4 2021

    “Welcome back to The Hoppy Time Podcast — your weekly dive into the world of hops, haze, and questionable beer takes. Today we’re getting futuristic with not one, but two brews from the legends over at Voodoo Ranger.

    We’re reviewing their V2K IPA — a throwback to retro vibes with modern hop punch — and the Future Hops IPA, which feels like it was brewed by a time traveler with taste. Both of these beers brought bold flavors, smooth finishes, and just enough swagger to make us say: Hey Voodoo Ranger... sponsor us, maybe? We already drink enough of your beer — might as well make it official.

    So crack open a can, cue up your hologram co-host, and settle in — it’s hoppy hour in the multiverse, right here on The Hoppy Time Podcast.”

    “What’s up everyone, and welcome back to The Hoppy Time Podcast — where craft beer culture meets real conversations and local love. Today we’ve got a special lineup that blends street hustle, SoCal flavor, and serious craft.

    First up, we’re cracking open 100K, a collaboration between influencer Dinero100K, Beer Thug Life, and CommonSpace Brewing Company — and a big shoutout to Benny over at B-Cutz Barbershop in South Gate for putting us on to this one. The can’s got attitude, the collab has clout, and we’re ready to find out if the beer delivers.

    Then we’re switching gears with Mo-Tra from Santa Maria Brewing Company, a brew that brings West Coast vibes and Mosaic-forward hop flavor straight to the glass.

    Two beers, one mic, and a whole lot to talk about. So grab your favorite pint, and let’s get into it — right here on The Hoppy Time Podcast.”
