Today we are excited to debut ...GEAR & BEER!

This is reviewing gear, THE ROCK FIGHT way because largely speaking gear reviews have become pretty boring. There's rarely a 'so what' in these reviews because stuff mostly works.

So Colin and Justin are here to throw rocks at the status quo and approach gear reviews the same way we approach most things: Through the types of conversations we have when out riding, skiing, surfing or hanging out at the trailhead...only this time on a podcast.

Each week one of us will bring forth a piece of gear: a shoe, some apparel, a suitcase, sleeping bag, kayak, a pot or a pan…whatever, to review and then because we make way too much stuff these days, we'll rank it on the STUFF-O-METER (listen to learn about the STUFF-O-METER).

Lastly certified Cicerone (which means certified beer guy) Justin Housman will pair the perfect beverage with the gear and activity we talked about.

First up, the Kona Unit X and Founders Brewery All Day IPA.
