Mike is on his own this week as Chris AND Serge are both out of town, but it's OK since he's got an amazing lineup with Jake Guidry, Keith Lemcke, and Randy Mosher. Fun show!

A show that's been in the works for while, Chris and Doug Veliky sit down for an informal and unscripted chat. They discuss Doug's consulting company,  BrightBev, why Doug is so pro-distributor, and why neither of them prefer him to be the go-to source for breaking beer news.

It's a sloppy but fun episode where Chris is doing production and trying to co-host with Mike at the same time. Jake Guidry of Hopewell is serving up steaming piles of takes as usual, plus Nile Zacherle of Mad Fritz and Rich Bloomfield of Funkytown round things out.
