Takeshi from Kaminari Ramen and Kyle from The Mack House joined the fray for an episode fueled by beer, sake bombs, and great stories.

We kicked things off with a Sake Bomb SS, and we encourage all the Drinkalongers to do the same. Trust us, it’ll enhance your experience as you drink along! 😉🍶💣

Luis and Ed finally caught up after a week apart, swapping stories from their latest adventures before diving into pizza toppings, ice cream, and some serious reminiscing about old-school food trends.

Then Takeshi and Kyle took us deep into the world of pre- and post-shift music, the conversations that happen around the kitchen, and everything that comes in between..

We dive into Shojo’s Dojo, their brewing journey, and what they have planned for the future.

Things get educational as Mari and Haidar teach us about the different types of sake, how to properly enjoy them, and what foods pair best with them.

And somehow, through all the learning, we still managed to talk plenty of beer. 🍶🍻

This week, the pod squad takes a trip down memory lane.

From reminiscing about how simple life used to be to reliving the weekend's shenanigans, the stories just kept flowing. Along the way, we realized it doesn't take much to spark a great memory... or a questionable decision.

And as it turns out, one member of the crew was just one chimy away from another "Nothing Crazy" night.

Some memories never fade—they just get funnier with time. 🍻

BTW… HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE 🥳🥳🥳

It felt like forever, but Ed and Luis are finally back behind the mics.

With travel schedules keeping the Brew Bros apart, this episode is all about catching up—everyday life, recent adventures, and of course, great beer.

Somewhere along the way, Ed painted quite the picture, which inspired this week's Question of the Week:

We're looking forward to hearing your answers. 🍻
