Futurama Season 11 – Episode 6 – I Know What You Did Next XMas

Futurama Video Review

Its time for another Futurama episode video review. This time we’ll be taking a look at episode six – I Know What You Did Next XMas. So join us on YouTube as we review the episode and have a beer. (This episode’s beer is Bo Katan Red IPA by Brewery Fire. A sneak peek at the beers they are releasing at their Fourth Anniversary Celebration – The Power of the Fourth.)

You can find all of the videos here at the Futurama Episode Playlist.

You can also follow along with our Futurama articles here:

Futurama Mondays

Thus far, these are the Futurama Monday articles:

Ahsoka

Have no fear – we are still pumping out the Futurama content, even if the video reviews are a few days behind. But ontop of that, Drew (of Knights of Nostalgia) and myself are doing video reacts to the Ahsoka show. We are getting drunk, belligerent, and then watching the show. You can find those videos at the Knights of Nostalgia YouTube Channel.

Leaving shortly to go to Knights of Nostalgia’s studio to film our reactions to Episode Six of Ahsoka.

This Episode’s Beer

This video essay’s adjoining beer was “Bo Katan Red IPA” by Brewery Fire. Bo Katan Red IPA is named after Bo Katan Kryze from Star Wars. The Bo Katan Red IPA is a “IPA – Red” style, its 7% ABV and (blank) IBU. The Untappd description reads: “The third in our “Power of the Fourth” series of 4 new beers for our 4th anniversary. This red IPA has a ton of hop character built on a strong malt backbone. It’s a classic early 2000s craft beer style, and we love it!”

Brewery Fire is a fantastic brewery from Taneytown, MD. I can’t recommend them enough. Make sure you visit them and try out their beers, you won’t be disappointed. This Saturday is their Fourth Anniversary Celebration.

Promo Still for Parasites Regained on Hulu

Week Four and Episode Four of the Not So Futurama Monday… Monday…. or Thursday…..

I have the mental image (and voice) in my head of the near opening scene of Encanto when the one guy gives Mirabelle a gift and says its the “Not Special Special Gift… Because Your Not Special”.

So this is the Not Futurama Monday – Monday – but on Thursday video review. Have no fear though – with my new work schedule they may be late – they won’t be forgotten, and I fully intend to make sure I still do video reviews of all ten episodes. You can find all of the videos here at the Futurama Episode Playlist.

The Beer

My beer for this week’s episode is Mow and Flow. The Barrel and Flow collab that Eleventh Hour did for the brewfest. This was gifted to myself by a worker from Eleventh Hour when he stopped in at work. So thanks to him and thanks to Eleventh Hour!

Futurama Mondays

Thus far, these are the Futurama Monday articles:

Mow and Flow by Eleventh Hour

Mow and Flow by Eleventh Hour

Beer: Mow and Flow
Brewery: Eleventh Hour Brewing
Style: IPA – Imperial / Double New England / Hazy
ABV: 8%
IBU: N / A
Untappd Description: Brewed to celebrate the official Royal Couple of Wilkinsburg, we started with the King & Queen of hazy IPA hops, Citra & Mosaic. A hearty blanket of flaked oats gives this a pillowy soft mouthfeel, with a big punch of Simcoe to round out the beer. The resulting liquid has a sticky & dank aroma up front blending effortlessly with the citrus and stone fruit for a beautiful final product. It’s a great beer to celebrate Wilkinsburg and to bring attention to the efforts of these two amazing individuals.
Global Average Rating: 4.12 (as of 8.24.23)
My Untappd Rating: ****

After the video, I took the beer outside to help assist me in the hop harvest. Look for a beer review of this beautiful beer coming soon.

Promotional still from How the West was 1010001

Week Three – Episode Three

Well, this isn’t exactly a “Futurama Monday” article – though we still did cover a Futurama beer for Futurama Monday – Beer Review: Fing-longer (Turning Point Beer) – and technically I am a week behind (this week’s episode was Parasites Regained and was Season 11 Episode 4); but here is our video review of Season 11 Episode 3 – How the West was 1010001.

Theres been a lot of changes here – one, I have a new job (working at a local brewery rather than the casino) and two, I have four daughters – one of which just turned 16 and the other is nine months and just about ready to walk. So time is on a bit of a limited scale.

We are still pumping out a ton of content though, so have no fear about that. I might add (on top of doing the Futurama episode reviews) video reviews of the Ahsoka show as well. We’ll see. Premier for Ahsoka is next week (August 23rd) and they are airing two episodes at kick off.

My beer for this episode’s video review is ‘The Shining’ by Foam Brewers. I want to give a shout out to Emily for gifting me the beer. Thanks Em!

Fing-Longer by Turning Point Beer

Futurama Monday

Ahh…. what if every Monday was Futurama Monday? …A man can dream…. a Man can Dream.

But, since I am already in my pajamas, and its 8:30 AM, lets just dive into it all shall we? No need to wait around. I’m 40% beer anyway.

And don’t worry about the video reviews of the episodes – they are coming. Started my new job, and with that means my schedule has changed / shifted a bit, so I’m going to be doing last week’s video essay review on Wednesday, and this week’s episode review on Thursday. So be sure to check out our YouTube channel page to stay updated and informed of those.

Futurama Monday Articles

Thus far, these are the Futurama Monday articles:

Beer Review: Fing-Longer by Turning Point Beer

Fing-Longer by Turning Point Beer

Beer: Fing-Longer
Brewery: Turning Point Beer
Style: Brown Ale – Other
ABV: 5.9%
IBU: N / A
Untappd Description: Brown Ale brewed with tons of Butterfinger candies.

Firstly, I’d love to say I enjoy the subtle can art. The Professor’s lab coat on his fing-longer invention is great. Its subtle, not much to the can, and doesn’t lean too hard into the “stealing the IP” category that some beers and beer can art do.

I do love brown ales, and I love Futurama, so this beer was one hundred and thirteen percent up my alley and had me getting it off Tavour right away. And I don’t regret that decision one bit. This was a fantastic beer.

Pours wonderfully and looks beautifully in the glass. It has a nice brown hue, with a good carbonated soft pillowy head. It left wonderful lacing on the glass. It looks exactly like what a brown ale should look like – simply put – it looks brown, it has good carbonation, good head retention, no sediment, not hazy but not completely translucent due to the coloring, a simple beautiful looking beer.

Aroma is whoooo boy, this is a fun one to sniff. Big notes of deep malt, you get the peanut butter, you get caramel malt, you get some chocolate notes, but the malt is very present in the aroma, and so is the peanut butter. I love it. This just smells incredible, I can’t wait to dive into it.

Oh this is bliss on first sip. I love it. Strong strong strong peanut butter, strong “chocolate bar” notes, strong deep malt taste. It’s almost like drinking a Butterfinger directly from a can (could this be a nod to Bart Simpson always shilling Butterfinger – Bart being another creation of Matt Groening?), and this is wonderful for it. This is a brown ale with a lot of dressing up, its got all the strong qualities you look for in a brown ale, malt, mouth feel, full, etc, with the added bonus of the tastes of chocolate, peanut butter, and even more malt with caramel malt. Its really just a great all around beer. Wish I had gotten a four pack of this rather than a single off of Tavour, but this is just an incredible beer all around. Firstly, I already love brown ales, then to tell me theres basically a Butterfinger melted into the beer, and then add on to it that its a Futurama themed beer, and you have me sold a thousand times over. Such a solid beer all around, if you are able to find this or get ahold of it – please do so, you won’t regret it.

My Untappd Rating: ****
Global Untappd Rating: 3.85 (as of 8.14.23)

Parasites Regained

I do love that Hulu puts the episodes on at midnight EST. So I got to catch the episode last night, and again this morning before finishing up the review here. Quick thoughts on the episode…. I didn’t hate it / didn’t love it. (Seems to be the theme of the Hulu run so far for me.) I think there was a fair bit of missed opportunities in this episode, and that also seems to be a running theme with the show during this “Hulu era”. Jokes are crammed in at times when they don’t need to be, or just don’t 100% stick the landing. I was a little disappointed that instead of a deeper episode like the original Parasites Lost, we got pretty much an extended Dune parody episode. Not to say there wasn’t funny gags and lines in it, or that it wasn’t a great story, but I kind of just was hoping for more out of this than what we got.

Some of Bender’s lines also felt somewhat crammed in, and I wonder why, if the writing was keeping Bender in limbo in case of DiMaggio not coming back or what. There’s also just a few bits here where I think they could have used him more, but they didn’t.

I do enjoy that once this Hulu season is over, it does look like there will be a consistent feel to each era. You will know a Fox era episode versus a movie era episode, versus a Comedy Central era episode, versus a Hulu era episode just from the “feel” of the episode – the look, the style, the jokes, etc.

Futurama: A Sci-Fi Comedy Classic

Futurama banner logo on Hulu’s streaming app

Futurama, created by Matt Groening, the mastermind behind The Simpsons, is a science fiction animated sitcom that captured the hearts of fans with its clever writing, memorable characters, and a unique blend of humor and sci-fi elements. Set in the 31st century, the show follows the adventures of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy who finds himself accidentally cryogenically frozen and wakes up 1,000 years later.

One of the defining aspects of Futurama is its exceptional writing, which skillfully combines sharp wit, cultural references, and intelligent humor. The show has a knack for tackling complex scientific concepts and social commentary while maintaining its light-hearted and entertaining nature. Each episode is filled with clever wordplay, puns, and rapid-fire jokes that keep audiences engaged and laughing.

At the heart of Futurama are its vibrant and lovable characters. From Fry, the bumbling yet endearing protagonist, to the no-nonsense and competent cyclops Leela, and the perpetually intoxicated robot Bender, the show boasts a diverse and colorful cast. Secondary characters like the mad scientist Professor Farnsworth, the lobster-like alien Dr. Zoidberg, and the bureaucrat Hermes Conrad add depth and comedic charm to the ensemble.

Beyond its comedic brilliance, Futurama also excels in creating a rich and detailed futuristic world. From the bustling cityscape of New New York to the eccentric inhabitants of other planets, the show presents a visually captivating and imaginative universe. It seamlessly blends futuristic technology, intergalactic travel, and clever social commentary to create a satirical yet oddly relatable portrayal of the future.

Futurama’s storytelling prowess is further enhanced by its ability to balance episodic adventures with overarching narratives. It seamlessly weaves together comedy, science fiction, romance, and even moments of genuine emotion. The show tackles themes of love, friendship, existentialism, and the human condition, all while keeping audiences entertained with its trademark humor.

With its sharp writing, memorable characters, and thought-provoking narratives, Futurama has garnered a dedicated fan base that continues to grow even after the show’s original run. Its cult status and enduring popularity have led to numerous references and homages in various forms of media, including the world of craft beer.

Futurama’s unique blend of science fiction, comedy, and heartfelt storytelling has left an indelible mark on pop culture. It has become a beloved classic, celebrated for its creativity, humor, and ability to entertain audiences of all ages. As craft breweries embrace the imaginative world of Futurama, they pay homage to the show’s legacy by creating beers that capture its essence, making it a delightful experience for fans and beer enthusiasts alike. So, raise a glass to the timeless brilliance of Futurama and prepare to embark on a beer-drinking adventure that transcends time and space!

Brews of the Future: Beers Showcased in Futurama

Various beers shown on Futurama (my favorite might be Klein’s Beer)

Futurama, with its attention to detail and love for all things futuristic, often featured various alcoholic beverages throughout the show. These fictional libations gave viewers a glimpse into the creative minds of the show’s writers and provided a humorous backdrop for the characters’ escapades. Let’s take a look at some notable beers showcased in Futurama:

Olde Fortran

Olde Fortran

Olde Fortran, a beloved recurring beer on the show, is a classic example of the show’s humorous take on everyday life in the future. As a play on the outdated programming language “Fortran,” this beer serves as a nod to the past while existing in the future. It’s often depicted as a cheap and low-quality beverage, with characters indulging in it during moments of relaxation or celebration.

Fudd Lite

Fudd Lite, another fictional beer seen in Futurama, is a satirical reference to popular light beers of the present day. Known for its catchy jingle “Fudd Lite, the beer that made me the man I am today,” this light beer is a parody of the marketing strategies used by real-world breweries. It showcases the show’s ability to poke fun at contemporary consumer culture while creating a distinctive brand within its own universe.

Benderbräu

Bender Brau

In the episode “The Route of All Evil,” Bender, the lovable bending unit, decides to start his own brewery and creates his signature beer called Benderbräu. Although the recipe and brewing process are not explicitly revealed, Benderbräu is known for its distinct flavor and high alcohol content. This fictional beer captures the rebellious and mischievous spirit of its namesake character.

Klein’s Beer

Klein’s Beer

The bottle is called a Kleins Bottle. A Klein-bottle is is based on Möbius loops (one-dimensional surfaces), and is a two-dimensional manifold. It’s a bit difficult to describe in lay man’s terms, but this site has excellent information about Klein bottles.

The joke is that Klein bottles can’t exist in our 3-dimensionel universe (they need four dimensions), but in the future they apparently found a way to produce them.

LoBrau

LoBrau Beer

A brand of beer that was sold in both the 20th and 31st centuries, possibly all throughout the millennium. Its name parodies Löwenbräu beer which is very popular in the United States; it is also a play on words of the phrase “low brow”, which describes a person who has uncultivated or nonintellectual tastes.

Pabst Blue Robot

Pabst Blue Robot

A 3,000 variant of Pabst Blue Ribbon perhaps? Or a whole new brand? A brand of beer, presumably specifically designed for robots. Consumption by humans is inadvisable due to the presence of throat-bloodying metal shavings. It is a play on “Pabst Blue Ribbon,” a popular beer.

Sam Adams’ Head Boston Lager

Sam Adams Head Boston Lager

Another modern day beer nod, this time to Sam Adams Boston Lager. Incorporating the head museum and the idea of Sam Adam’s Head brewing the beer.

St. Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl

St. Pauli Exclusion Principle Girl

A brand of beer. A dual reference to a quantum mechanics principle (Pauli Exclusion Principle) and real beer brand St. Pauli Girl.

Maltese Liquor

Maltese Liquor

Maltese Liquor is the strongest and most valuable malt liquor ever brewed. It is so strong, that consuming it is fatal to anyone but Robots and Billy Dee Williams, as it causes death of the brain cells. It was also stated to be 210 proof, an impossibly high alcohol content (this would be 105% alcohol by volume).

A bottle of the liquor was kept in Hedonismbot‘s mansion. Bender attempted to steal this bottle, but his plan was foiled by Pickles, who drank its contents.

(For more Futurama Alcoholic Beverages check out this link: List of Futurama Alcoholic Beverages)

Slurm

Slurm

While not an alcoholic drink, the most notable and known drink from the Futurama universe is Slurm. (An equivalent in modern times would be Mountain Dew or possibly the new energy drinks.)

Slurm, the number-one soft drink of the future, is refreshingly addictive. It is produced in a factory on the planet Wormulon by a race known only as the Slurm Worms. Their corporate mascot is Slurms MacKenzie, “The Original Party Worm”. However, the Planet Express crew discovered it actually comes from a giant worm‘s behind.

Fry is a huge Slurm fan, and rarely goes more than 12 minutes without one.

Slurm, the quintessential fictional beverage of the Futurama universe, is a carbonated soft drink that has become an icon of the show. While not technically a beer, Slurm is often associated with partying and excessive indulgence. It is marketed as a highly addictive and sought-after beverage, with its neon green color and unique taste captivating the characters and viewers alike. Although it’s not a beer, it has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on the show’s fans.

Futurama Alcoholic Drinks

These fictional beers and beverages are just a taste of the creative and humorous world-building found in Futurama. They showcase the show’s ability to infuse everyday elements with a futuristic twist, adding to the overall charm and whimsy of the series. While these beverages may exist only in the animated realm, they have become iconic symbols of the show’s ability to blend comedy, satire, and imaginative storytelling.

As we explore the world of Futurama-inspired craft beers, it’s exciting to see how breweries draw inspiration from these fictional libations, paying homage to the show’s legacy while bringing their own creative spin to the brews. So, raise a glass to the imaginative concoctions of Futurama and get ready to savor the flavors of the future, even if they’re just in the realm of your favorite animated series.

The Route of All Beer: Bender Brau in Futurama

Fry, Bender, and Leela from The Route of All Evil

In the Futurama episode aptly titled “The Route of All Evil,” Bender, the lovable bending unit with a penchant for mischief, embarks on an entrepreneurial adventure in the brewing industry. In this episode, Bender and his best friend Fry decide to start their own brewery and create a beer that bears the name “Benderbräu.”

The Birth of Benderbräu

As Bender and Fry dive headfirst into the brewing process, chaos naturally ensues. Mixing questionable ingredients, including hazardous materials like plutonium and a random turtle, their brewing methods are far from conventional. Despite their lack of expertise, they manage to produce a batch of Benderbräu, a beer that captures the essence of Bender himself – rebellious, bold, and full of character.

The Rise and Fall of Benderbräu

With Bender’s charismatic personality and Fry’s marketing skills, they quickly find success as Benderbräu gains popularity in the market. However, their path to riches takes a tumultuous turn when they discover the consequences of their beer’s secret ingredient – a dangerous and addictive substance known as “Mom’s Old-Fashioned Robot Oil.” As their customers become addicted, chaos ensues, and Bender and Fry must confront the consequences of their actions.

Lessons Learned and Unforgettable Memories

While their brewing endeavor ends in disaster, the episode highlights the enduring friendship between Bender and Fry. As they navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship, they learn valuable lessons about the importance of responsibility, integrity, and the dangers of cutting corners for personal gain.

“The Route of All Evil” serves as a humorous commentary on the perils of unchecked capitalism, addiction, and the pursuit of wealth at any cost. It also showcases the show’s ability to infuse social commentary into its comedic storytelling, using the brewing industry as a backdrop for satirical exploration.

This memorable episode not only provides laughs but also offers a glimpse into the imaginative world of Futurama. It showcases the show’s ability to take everyday concepts, like beer production, and give them a futuristic twist filled with wit, charm, and unexpected turns.

As we raise our glasses to Benderbräu and the adventures of Bender and Fry, let’s remember the enduring legacy of this Futurama episode – a reminder that dreams, even when fueled by questionable ingredients, can lead to unforgettable journeys and valuable life lessons.

(Note, some of this episode recap uses comics and other tertiary information on the Futurama universe including writer interviews, as well as also some indulgent fan theories and extrapolation of the episode. Its also not discussing the main plot of Qubert, and his attempts at starting his own paper route with Dwight.)

Slurm Sippers and the Quest for the Ultimate Buzz

Breweries have experimented with sour ales, fruit-infused IPAs, and even Gose styles to capture the essence of this fictional beverage.

When it comes to Futurama, no character is as memorable as the witty and mischievous Bender.

Expect hop-forward IPAs, robust porters, or even a smooth and smoky rauchbier that pays homage to Bender’s love for cigars and mischief. Take a sip, and you might just find yourself uttering “Bite my shiny metal ass!”

Futurama and Craft Beer

Lets get right down to it and find some craft beers with Futurama themed names!

In the upcoming weeks I am going to be reviewing some for the blog (one each week on Mondays to tie in with the Futurama releases). So I will be keeping those specific beers off this list so as to keep them as a surprise.

But here is some others that I won’t be reviewing, so you can see them now:

Zappa Brannigan by The Rambling Root

This is an American Pale Ale clocking in at 7% and has no IBU listed. The Untappd description reads: “This beer is built like a steakehouse, but handles like a bistro. It’s got note of Cham-paggin. It is DOOP.”

Planet Expresso by Burnt Hickory Brewery

This is a Stout – Coffee, at 9% and 10 IBU, its certainly going to give you a kick into space. The Untappd description reads: “An Italian Espresso Coffee Stout.”

Planet Express by Bent Stick Brewing

Listed as a Pilsner – Other, its a 4.5% ABV and no IBU listed hoppy pilsner. The Untappd description reads: “Galaxy Hopped Pilsner”

Good News Everyone by Mars Brewing Company

A 5% ABV, 25 IBU, Farmhouse Ale – Saison by Mars Brewing Company will surely bring the good news from the Professor to you. The Untappd description reads: “Good news everyone! Straight from our shiny metal fermentor machine, not to be confused with a robot named Bender, comes Mars Brewing’s Saison. Rustic, bright, clean, with a balanced nose of clove and fruitiness, this Saison will not disappoint.”

Why Not Zoidberg? by Niantic Public House And Brewery

After all – why not Zoidberg? This is an American IPA, with no IBU listed, and a 6.8% ABV, it’ll have you asking why not Zoidberg … and maybe Where is Zoidberg as well? The Untappd description reads: “IPA showcasing Mandarina Bavaria hops.”

Zoidberg Noise by Phantom Carriage Brewery

This is a bit more of an interesting one – an orange brut IPA. I’m always half on the fence with Brut IPAs to begin with, but the appeal of orange is there. This is a 7.5% ABV Brut IPA.

Robot House Party by Campus Brewing

Robot House!!!!!!!! (I’m sure you heard that in the Dean of Mars University’s voice, I know I did.) This is a New England / Hazy IPA, clocking in at a low 5.8% ABV and 10 IBU. The Untappd description reads: “

Our house Hazy IPA is cleaner, hoppier and more drinkable than ever.

Campus’s Creative Creatures have rebuilt the bot for optimised drinkability.

A simplified, muted malt bill gets out of the way for a boosted hop schedule featuring Simcoe, Mosaic, bio-transformed Sabro and Citra Lupomax.

Minimised bitterness and 5.8% abv bring the party whilst maintaining that classic chalky, moreish water profile that seemingly dries off the palate.”

Bender’s Brau by Turkey Forrest Brewing

Oooh a big boy for Bender! A 9.1% ABV, 37 IBU Belgian Trippel. The Untappd description says: “A complex, spicy and fruity flavor profile, which features notes of clove and banana. The addition of piloncillo adds a touch of caramel-like flavor.”

Benderbrau by Seabright Social

Here’s a different style for the list – an Altbier. Clocking in at 5.3% ABV and no IBU and no Untappd description.

Futurama by Social Kitchen and Brewery

A New England / Hazy IPA by Social Kitchen and Brewery, this is 6.7% ABV, and the description reads: “Light in color but big in flavor. We’re living in the future where soft, creamy IPAs run the world. Tons of citra and meridian hops for aromas of orange julius, melonb& bubble gum.”

Slurm by Burning Brewery

This one is coming all the way from St. Petersburg, Russia. A Fruited Sour, packing 5.5% ABV and 11 IBU. The Untappd description reads: “саур с приятной кислинкой киви и насыщенным яблоком”

Good News Everyone Its My First IPA by Bender Braus Brewing

Good News Everyone – Its My First IPA!

Nearly exactly six years ago I brewed this one my self when home brewing. (Who knows, might even have a bottle forgotten / hidden in the basement still.) I brewed a five gallon batch of this as my first IPA. I named my little home brewery “Bender Braus Brewing”, and with this being my first IPA I gave it the name of “Good News Everyone! It’s My First IPA!”.

I thought it tasted pretty well, was a bit watery, and a bit light on the mouth feel. Alex, Carson, and Alan from Boneshire Brew Works said it was ‘passable’ and a few other home brew buddies said it was a good first try / attempt at an IPA. Some of my family members enjoyed it, but who can really take them for their word right?

It ended up being a 7.09% ABV and 44 IBU IPA American. My Untappd description for it reads: “

Bender Braus Brewing’s first beer (and therefore first IPA). An American West Coast style IPA.

The grain bill consists of Pale Malt (11 lbs 8 oz), 1 lb of Caramel Malts, and 12 oz of Munich Malt Light.

The hops consists of 1 oz Chinook, 3 oz Cascade, 3 oz of Nugget (totals).

Yeast strain is WLP001 (White Labs), California Ale.

Original gravity is 1.069, and it’s a 5 gallon batch.”

More Futurama Beers To Come

Stay tuned for each week – every Monday – of the show’s run (starting next week – July 24th) for a beer (or book) review, all Futurama themed. For the first week, it will be a book review of Futurama and Philosophy, followed by a mead review from Space Time Meadery and then we’ll get into the beer reviews proper (don’t worry, I have enough for both Hulu seasons).

Futurama and Craft Beer Wrap Up

In conclusion, the marriage of craft beer and the iconic show Futurama creates a delightful fusion of creativity, humor, and imagination. The world of craft beer enthusiasts and Futurama fans alike can rejoice as breweries pay tribute to the show through unique and inventive brews. From Slurm-inspired flavors to beers named after beloved characters like Bender and the Planet Express crew, the intersection of these two realms offers an exciting and flavorful experience.

Craft breweries have embraced the opportunity to tap into the rich lore and whimsical nature of Futurama, crafting beers that capture the essence of the show.

Futurama serves as a source of inspiration, giving rise to beers that embody the show’s spirit and spark conversations among fans and beer enthusiasts.

Craft beer and Futurama share a common thread of community and camaraderie. Just as Futurama brought people together through its humor and relatable characters, craft beer fosters a sense of togetherness among beer lovers. From sharing a pint at a local brewery to engaging in lively discussions about the show and the beers it inspired, these experiences create lasting memories and connections.

As we raise our glasses to the future, let’s appreciate the creativity, craftsmanship, and passion behind both craft beer and Futurama. The convergence of these two worlds invites us to embark on a journey that transcends time and space, where flavors ignite our taste buds and laughter fills the air.

So, whether you’re a devoted fan of Futurama or a craft beer aficionado seeking new and exciting brews, explore the realm where these two passions collide. Celebrate the ingenuity of brewers, the brilliance of the show’s creators, and the joy that comes from sipping a Futurama-inspired craft beer. May your adventures in beer and beyond be filled with laughter, good company, and the endless possibilities that the future holds. Cheers to the delightful fusion of craft beer and Futurama!

Final reminder – Futurama returns next Monday – July 24th, 2023 – on Hulu. We will be doing weekly articles to go along with each new episode. Also look out for us doing some beer and episode reviews as well.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:

We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
