Like some sort of softball-sized, hairy drupe falling from a tree to knock us on the head, within this lineup of four beers is a surprise that almost completely brings the show to a grinding halt. But otherwise, it's a fun little exploration of our relationship with coconut as an adjunct in barrel-aged stouts, and there's no suntan lotion to be found here. Also, 3 Floyds is normal now, Disney is entering ill-advised music territory, Head & Shoulders should sponsor this episode, and Ryan explains why the result of this show is like checking for a cockroach in your shoe. (It'll all make sense, later, we swear.) Thanks again to Dan Roemer for help in procuring the Phase Three!
