As always, we've got the news bits that are juicier than a hyped IPA!

And it's all about the hops in this week's tasting discussion. We earn the episode title and sample some coincidental citrus India Pale Ales.

Some big news drops at the start of the record, saving an otherwise uneventful news week. We then sample a couple of beers with decidedly more malty profiles; an appropriate distinction considering the cooling fall nights.

What hop best defines you as a person? We discuss hop identification and trying to train those pesky tastebuds.

Also, has our run of successes in the tasting notes segment come to a halt? Pour yourself a cold one and smash the play button!

This week coffee meets beer, but not in the way one would expect. A slow news week means more room for talking about recent tastings, and fortunately there have been plenty of those.

Have we found another IPA to add to the regular rotation? 

We try not to mention the pandemic as we reflect on happier beer seasons. After the latest in hot brewery gossip, we discuss a beer by a brewery making recent headlines(and this episode is no exception)!

There's some optimistic new beer news to share this week before we focus on one of Texas' more established breweries in our staple sippin' segment.

In this episode we are talking about how Surly really stepped in it as well as other news tidbits. Did we finally get around to sampling an Octoberfest beer this week? Tune in to find out!

We mix it up this episode by talking about a new beer release right away! We then get into some mostly optimistic beer news while sipping on a craft beer staple. Do we prattle on way too long? We'll never say...

There's a controversy at the top of the show! We also sip on an unexpected selection after covering some coronavirus-skewed craft beer headlines.

We ramble about canning for way too long in this episode. We then cover some brewery developments before taking a dank ride with a Tupps Brewing ale.
