Malt Couture

It's that #BIL drip this episode as Alex stacks New Money vs the Oldest Money when the Malty Boyz™ crack open four barleywines that are over a decade old for the Bottleshare including a 2011 Abacus from Firestone-Walker, 2007 Cyclops from Elysium, 2004 Thomas Hardy, and 2002 Bigfoot from Sierra Nevada. But before they get to those they'll drink Side Project's MJK. In the Beer News, the Boyz Drip It or Flip It when they take a look at brewery collabs with footwear and watch brands.

See what happens when Kendall Jenner, E-40, and The Rock face off in an agave fueled deathmatch to determine who is top of their class when it comes to being a celebrity tequila mogul. Then in the Beer News, we hopefully get some slightly less stupid beer laws when the USPS Shipping Equity Act is introduced to Congress. Plus, a round of The Celebrity Tequila Mogul Game.

The craft beer industry is forced to confront issues it's long overlooked or flat out ignored after head brewer Brienne Allan asked the question "What sexist comments have you experienced?" on her Instagram (@ratmagnet). What followed was thousands of stories from beer industry workers about the sexism, misogyny, and sexual abuse they experience far too regularly, often times on a daily basis. Stories about working in breweries, working with distributors, and dealing with management and regulars in bars and restaurants. Terminations and resignations followed from breweries big and small. We also look at how larger beer entities like the Brewers Association have responded as well as examine how niche craft beer communities such as the Beer Advocate messageboards are reacting.

There's nothing more macro beer than holding a contest where you can win lots of money. This year, the macro beer gods blessed it's drinkers with not one but two such contests. One requires drinkers to know how put together a coherent sentence, the other requires drinkers to press a button. In other Beer News, Dogfish Head has entered the Wynwood, FL arena and Stone lets fans write in votes for what's included in their 25th anniversary releases. Alex brings in bargain bin Cantillon and a gem of a barleywine from BKS Artisan Ales.

Each of the Malty Boyz™ bring in two maple treats that will battle it out in a too sweet cagematch before being thrown into the never disputed Power Rankings.

In the Beer News, pickle drama in Texas, Untappd pettiness from More Brewing against Phase Three, and a Budweiser promotion leads to stolen pup valor.

Fresh out the linen closet, it's a special bonus Malt-terrogation with Paul Arney, owner and head brewer of The Ale Apothecary! He gives perhaps the most unique answer to "If money was no issue what's the next piece of non-essential brewing equipment you'd buy?" but for a brewer that uses hollowed out spruce trees as lauter tuns the answer should be that surprising.

The Malty Boyz™ drink one of the highest rated beers they've ever had on the show. Almost impossible to aquire, one reviewer shouts, "JUST MAKE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE YOU JERKS!" Yeah, why don't they just make enough for everyone? In the Beer News, the Seltzer Wars have begun as Imprint Beer sues Smooj over trademark infringement. Michael is a homer for Crispi Bois from Ohio while Stephen struggles with pronunciation.
