The Beer Guys do not just live on beer alone. We dig cigars too.

Broadcasting from Buckhead Cigar, Tim and Aaron welcomed El Primer Mundo founder Sean Williams and StogieReview.com blogger Brian Hewitt to the show to talk beer and cigar pairings.

When you think of cigars and alcohol pairings, traditionally one usually brings up bourbon or Scotch. Which works well. But with the great variety of craft beers available, paring one of them with a fine hand-crafted cigar makes a lot of sense as well.

We brought in Brian, a friend of the show and a man who know his beer and cigars to talk to us about what to do. Usually, the bigger the beer, the better they pair with a cigar. But not always! He tells us some nice pairings and what to look for.

Sean Williams, on the cusp of celebrating El Primer Mundo’s 10th anniversary, talks about the trials and tribulations of the cigar industry – some that may seem familiar to us craft beer fans.

Because of the theme, we had to break out some big guns for Truck and Tap‘s beers of the week. Our first was a 2015 Terrapin Richland Reserve – a double IPA aged in Richland Rum barrels. The gents agreed that you need to just take off the “IPA” from the label – the aging process has eliminated almost all of the hoppiness of the beer – and think of this one as more of a barleywine.

The second? Thanks to Chris Duncan, one of our awesome listeners, we got our hands on Ireland’s Galway Bay Brewery‘s 200 Fathoms Imperial Stout aged in Teeling Whisky barrels. It was awesome, along with their Full Sail dry hopped IPA.
