Brandon's back with a beer-industry job update, and we crack into three very different pours: Revolution's Pursuit of Freedom Watermelon Mint Session Sour, Voodoo Ranger's Halloween IPA (which sends us down a rabbit hole of favorite horror franchises and Halloween viewing traditions), and a Binny's x Goose Island barrel-aged stout blend. 

We close out with seasonal beer plans for what's coming next.

Coming off the heels of Episode 176 and rounding out our AFTP Throwback series, Brandon treated us to this delicious triple imperial stout from Hoppin' Frog Brewery.  

T.O.R.I.S. The Tyrant Triple Imperial Stout
Extremely bold with big notes of layered dark malt and fruity esters driving luscious wave after wave of smooth dark chocolate and coffee onto your palate. Finish is exceptionally smooth for a 13.8% ABV stout!

Thanks to Kevin and Deb Goggin for the theme song.

Thanks to Kevin and Deb Goggin for the theme song.
