Co-host Dan from A One Pint Stand jumps in for an on-site recording at Spiral Brewing in Hastings, MN as we recap our favorite moments from the Minnesota State Fair, including standout craft beers, sweet treats, and the unique atmosphere that makes it a (can't-miss) event every year.

Our Roving Reporter Craig checks in with an on-site interview at Big Lost Meadery, where he explores the world of mead and what makes it a unique offering.

We also take a closer look at Untappd, the popular beer rating app, and dig into how ratings work, what they really tell us, and whether they help or hurt the craft beer experience.

Whether you were at the fair or just wish you were, this episode brings you the brews, the bites, and a bit of behind-the-scenes insight.
