“We need either hope or complete distraction.”

“It’s fall in a f*cking glass. It smells like a stick of Big Red gum.”

Beer: Basic Betty by Prairie Artisan Ales

Girl Crush: Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Fleabag!!

Poetry: "Song of Men," "Points of Contact" and "A House Divided" by Kyle Dargin in his book Honest Engine: Poems (University of Georgia Press, 2015)

This week, we fully embrace #stoutszn with an imperial pumpkin stout from Prairie Artisan Ales. And while the flavor is right, the name and label design are questionable at best. To all the basic Beckys with the good hair, welcome to the world of 11 percent stouts and problematic beer naming practices. We also discuss some of Kyle Dargan's poem's in his book Honest Engine, where he talks truth about power and masculinity. Excuse Alyx's post-sick nasal voice. Cheers!
