Malt Couture

With Alex away on paternity leave, Stephen and Michael honor the newest newest Malty Boy with a lactose laden episode. But before they get into their dairy fueled fever dream they try the latest hype stout release from Pulpit Rock Brewing Co. reluctantly shared by Alex himself. Alex also provides an update about his life as a father and some other stuff, beer probably... and video games... we just skimmed it, alright? In the Beer News, Michael's got a bone to pick with overpriced airport beers.

The Malty Boyz join a crime family but they also get to flex their acting chops, and no, we're not talking about chops the same way Michael talks about chops. We watch two beer related commercials, one made out of spite and the other made using one PMG himself and also A BEAR! Coors taps the rink when they brew a batch of beer using ice collected during game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Alex exposes Tacoma's best kept beer secret when he brings on Engine 9 Brewing Co. Stephen goes full pie mode with his Bottleshare beer.

As it is written in the strains, so it shall come to pass. Alex digs up an article that pairs zodiac signs with yeast strains and the Malty Boyz™ now realize what their true personalities are. In the Beer News, dumb beers laws are updated with slightly less stupid beer laws when Texas allows beer to be sold at 10am on Sundays instead of noon and Virginia has issues with "games of skill." Then in the Bottleshare, the boyz get serious about pies.

This batch is all about family. When the Malty Boyz™ talk about BrewDog giving away a solid gold can of beer that's mostly brass, they're talking about family. When they drink Yellow Bus from Lost Abbey they're double clutching and granny shifting in the bus because of family. When Michael leads Alex and Stephen through a trivia game about F9? Family! What do they eat when they drink McIlhenney Brewing? A tuna sandwich because FAMILY!

The Malty Boyz™ dive into the deepest depths of hype depravity when they try the first offering from Blue Run Spirits headed by a Nike designer and Facebook tech bro and bite into Burger King's new Ch'King sandwich before playing a round of The Hype is Right. Plus, a brewery in Denver auctions off a NFT that gives the buyer free beer for life and Pabst Blue Ribbon drops off 1,776 beers to influencers for a Fourth of July publicity stunt. But first, the Boyz drink "the best barrel-aged beer from Wren House" according to their owner Drew Pool. In non-hype news, Alex brings in an IPA collab called Things We Don't Say that sets out to raise awareness about mental health in the brewing industry.
