  • EP 41 | Red, White, and Bears

    Red, White, and Bears. Two beers, one rough internet connection, and the most unintentionally patriotic episode in 2B2B history. Ice Bear's got a Margarita IPA from Ontario. Grizz is fighting 102 IBUs. Together they watch foreigners fall in love with America — Buc-ee's, Terry Black's BBQ, biscuits and gravy at Cracker Barrel, ranch dressing, and Texas Roadhouse honey butter rolls. Plus Delaware watermelon school buses, the Korea-Mexico World Cup brotherhood, and why Yosemite makes you feel like you don't belong on this Earth. Stars and bars, baby.

    Beers This Episode

    Ice Bear — Flight Risk Margarita IPA

    •        Brewery: Town Brewery — Whitby, Ontario

    •        Style: IPA — Fruited (Margarita)

    •        ABV: 6%

    •        Tasting Notes: Margarita-forward, citrus, would pair great with Tajín

    •        Rating: B- (gut said A-, dialed back for the beer itself over the vibe)

     

    Grizz — Hop Stoopid Double IPA

    •        Brewery: Lagunitas Brewing Company

    •        Style: Imperial / Double IPA

    •        ABV: 8%

    •        IBU: 102

    •        Notes: Resinous, brutally bitter, nearly a D+ warm — saved to a C by the cold can

    •        Rating: C+

     

    Takeaways:

    •        The World Cup's best side effect: foreigners experiencing the actual America — flyover states, small towns, southern hospitality — instead of just NYC and LA

    •        Japanese fans in Dallas discovered Terry Black's BBQ, Buc-ee's, Julio's chips, and Texas Roadhouse rolls. They're never going back.

    •        Delaware decommissions school buses, chops off the roof, paints them green, and fills them with watermelons. This is real.

    •        The Korea-Mexico World Cup 2018 alliance is still going strong in 2026.

    •        Biscuits and gravy is a universal language. British man at Cracker Barrel confirms.

    •        Ranch dressing is also a universal language. Europeans are waking up.

    •        Yosemite makes you feel like you shouldn't be there. That's a compliment.

    •        Texas high school football stadiums rival college stadiums anywhere else in the country.

    •        Hop Stoopid is aptly named. Temperature matters. A lot.

  • EP 39 | Strange Animals

    The bears are back and immediately debating whether they'd survive the Winter Olympics — spoiler: they would absolutely dominate curling and they have zero doubt about it. From bobsled physics to skeleton luge jiggle physics, Grizz and Ice Bear rapid fire their way through every Winter Olympic sport with the kind of unbridled confidence that can only come from two guys who have never done any of these things.

    The conversation takes its usual detours through whiskey deadlifts and the sweet spot between liquid courage and actual strength training, Texas hospitality vs Pacific Northwest coldness, Hawaiian sovereignty and illegal annexation, Maui fire blue roof conspiracies, and why Tacoma deserves more respect than it gets.
