Say his name in a 5-star review and Pizza Dood appears with a pizza in hand, bottled water, and a thirst for whales. He only takes boss pours, always checks in on Untappd, and never brings any beers. He's goddamn fucking Pizza Dood. Alex leads Stephen and Michael through another game about overpriced bourbon. Barleywine is opened when Horus decides that it's time for Maris to grow old. In the Beer News, New Glarus is caught dipping their hands into their own cookie jar a little too blatantly.

Alex is back from paternity leave and he's been saving up some gems to share including a Fantome and some barleybob.

During the Bottle Share, Alex brings in a PNW hypejob barleywine while Stephen bring ins a regular ol' non-hypejob barleywine. Michael treats the boyz to a very special seasonal offering fit for a king.

It's a battle for the ages as fermentation science battles pastry science! Four beers go head-to-head against four pies to determine the fate of the world's jankiest beer podcast! Banana cream pie, Mexican chocolate pie, black pepper cherry pie, and strawberry pie go up against their beer counterparts represented by Corporate Ladder Brewing Company, Dark Sky Brewing Company, Bond Brothers Beer Company, and Revolution Brewing. Stephen puts Michael in the Malt Seat for a round of pie trivia to win more pie. In the Beer News, is non-alcoholic beer the new Smooj?

When a fat cat in his ivory tower like Alex gets sent box after box of beers, sometimes peasants like Stephen and Michael get to taste some of the discarded treasures that Alex has no time for. This is trickle down beeranomics. Listen to your two favorite Malty Boyz™ chew the gristle of Alex's otherwise big, meaty boxes. In the Beer News, beer, pizza, and professional wrestling collide when Chris Jericho and Nick Gage use a pizza cutter to draw blood right before a Domino's commercial and Boston Beer Co. collabs with Mtn Dew.
