It's the most sacred of all weekends in the Maltyverse as the Malty Boyz™ descend upon the Malt Mansion. You heard that right, the Malty Boyz™, which means Michael's back! Yes! They're all here together for Batch 289. Alex curates an insane line-up for this batch where all the Malty Boyz™ are back together including a batch 1 Bookers and they tick another White Whale beer when they try Brandy Vanilla Dark Lord. In the Beer News, the Boyz discuss famed brewer and Beachwood Brewing owner Julian Shrago joining Urban Roots, the closing of a Netherlands Trappist brewery, watches made from beer barrels, a new batch of King Henry from Goose Island, and a Timberland collab with Pabst Blue Ribbon.
