Alex experiments with kratom to unlock his potential while Michael resorts to smelling salts. In the Beer News, Mikkeller says they're closing their San Diego brewery due to difficulties from Covid and their history of gender-based bullying, harrassment, and poor employee safety protocols has nothing to do with it, the Boyz wonder if Platform Brewing actually exists, and Auntie Anne's teams up with Evil Genius for a pretzel themed beer. For the Bottle Share, Alex brings in a barleywine collab between Alma Mader and Holy Mountain, Michael goes the mead route, and Stephen breaks the rule that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas."
