Chris gets called “dope” at work, as a compliment. Nick feels his age while playing video games. John explains how heavy metal is his form of self-care and goes on a macro-beer rant. Nick gets an on-air proposal. Chris loves structures’ peanut butter bourbon barrel stout. Nick’s “whatcha drinking” beer comes with a twist. It’s National dog day, so the guys tell the stories of Beignet, Lola, Chuy, and Bagwell. The style of the week is steam beer or California common and we taste the archetype of the style, Anchor Steam beer. As always we talk about interesting beers from the last week, some good stories, and at least one dad joke. Thank y’all so much for listening.
