We are back this week as David dives into a bourbon-barrel aged beer in Lagunitas Willettized while Gary takes a break from drinking, but tells us about having plenty of bourbon on his trip to Nashville over the weekend.

Lagunitas Willettized is a barrel-aged imperial coffee stout that clocks in at over 13% ABV. After Willett Distillery uses their barrels for bourbon and rye, Lagunitas puts their beer in them and what comes out has strong notes of bourbon, coffee, and chocolate.

Gary discusses his weekend trip to Nashville where he got to try Weller's Craft Your Perfect Bourbon, and other debaucherous things.

In news this week, we chat about whether Anheuser Busch is losing faith in their craft beer portfolio, as well as consumers being confused about whether there is beer in their Bud Light Seltzer.

In new products, apparently Sunny D Vodka Seltzer is a thing now, while Jim Beam has released their ready-to-drink Kentucky coolers line.

And finally, we discuss whether we would buy a $50,000 bottle of whiskey, as Highland Park has released their 54-year-old scotch.
