Coming in hot ahead of the Christmas holiday weekend, here's a wholesome new episode of Beats, Beards & Brews for all to enjoy! It's December, which means the music release calendar has slowed way down, but that doesn't stop the boys from diving into the latest EP from The Sound of Animals Fighting titled APESHIT. Listen with glee as the gang debates whether they like this experimental indie/post-hardcore rock band's new tracks or not. It's a lot to digest, that's for sure!

The Sound of Animals Fighting songs previewed during this episode include:

1. Apeshit
2. Wolf
3. Sharon Tate, Despite Everything

In a new segment titled "Eric's New Cool Winter Beard Oil Scents," the man himself (Eric) drops three cold weather beard oil recommendations. These are beard oils that Eric recommends for any bearded man when the temps get cold. Eric's top beard oil picks for the 2022 winter season include:

• The Lodge by T3 Beard Co. (alternate picks if this is sold out include Yukkon & The Bumble)
  • Scent profile: Warm amber, tonka, sandalwood, smokey sweet pipe tobacco, Oud, cedar wood, sweet almond, warm honey.
• Joy by Can You Handlebar Moustache & Beard Co. (and a link to Goodwill for something a little different)
  • Scent profile: Peppermint, clary sage.
• Huntsman by The Beard Baron (see website for even more cold classics)
  • Scent profile: Cedar, oak moss, amber.

Don't forget to check these businesses' social media accounts (especially Instagram) for potential sales codes.

Finally, the boys serve up a fisting of beer reviews, as they all drink Fistmas, a holiday red ale with ginger and orange peel, by Revolution Brewing. Happy holidays!
